Work Text:
(Aaron Burr):
There's nothing like serving in Valley Forge
All of the soldiers lining up to please General George
There's longing in the air, you can smell it
And Alexander's all alone
I'll let him tell it
(Alexander):
I hadn't slept, I was weak
In that week, I'd lie awake
John didn't like it, but I told him I could not take a break
Missing my hometown, longing to be free
That's when Mr. John Laurens took advantage of me
He said,
(John):
I know that we must live with honor
And I'm aware that this may be troublesome
But I can't take this anymore
Even if my father hates what I've become
My feelings have always been strong
They tease me
Fill with me greed
And never let me be
But I realize that they belong
Even if they may be considered wrong
(Alexander):
I asked him what he meant
He spoke in fragments
He said
(John):
... I'm trying to-
(Alexander):
I approached him with a glare
My confusion in the air
He said
(John):
... I've always... wanted you
(Alexander):
I told him, "That's dangerous to say"
He turned red
He turned me toward the bed
Let his legs spread and said
(Sorry, I just couldn't help but keep that part)
(John):
Hey
(Alexander):
HEY
(John):
Heeeyyyyyyyy(´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)
(Alexander):
That's when I began to pray
Lord, I know I should say no to this
But I find that I can't resist
I know the situations reckless
But I look at him, and I say "hell yes"
(John):
Whoa
(Alexander):
Dear lord, please don't make me say no to this
I don't want to say no to this
I know I should just go
But then his mouth is on mine and I choose not to say no
(Ensemble but that I don't want to take the time to write)
I thought it would be over all time
I said it would end in time, but we did it all the time
A month into this endeavor
(Alexander gestures to John who is literally the "endeavor" he's speaking of)
I received a letter
From a Mr. Henry Laurens
(Spoken while opening the letter)
Oh shit
(Back to rapping)
It said:
(Henry Laurens):
Hamilton,
I hope this letter finds you in good health
Because if it doesn't then your life will be on the shelf
You're now under the watch of people like me
Boy, you need luck
I know
That was my SON who you decided to-
(Alexander, traumatized):
Fuuuuuu-
(Henry Laurens):
Uh oh!
You made the wrong young man unholy
So time to pay the price to your one and only
I could simply tell your wife about your horrific sin
Or even better, I could alert the public of the relationship you're in!
(Alexander):
I hid the letter and I got in John's face
Screamed, "We're done for!"
And began to pace
He asked,
(John):
What happened?
(Alexander):
I explained his father to him
He looked like he had been pushed off the brim
He said,
(John):
We should've have had this affair end
(Alexander):
How the hell did he find out?
(John):
I don't know, he just knows a lot
(Alexander):
We must stop what this is about
(John):
I will not throw away my shot!
(Alexander):
We can't be lovers!
(John):
Please don't leave me
I am helpless
(Alexander):
How could I do this?
(Sorry couldn't think of different lyrics)
(John):
Just tell him a lie and we can keep this
(Alexander):
I want this, but-
(John):
I'll do whatever you want
If you lie
We won't die!
(Alexander):
Lord, I know I should say no to this
(John):
Tonight
(Alexander):
But I find that I can't resist
I know the situations reckless
(John):
Reckless
But I look at him, and I know "hell yes"
(John):
Whoa
(Alexander):
Dear lord, please don't make me say no to this
(Alexander and John):
Well shit, like I could say no to this
(Alexander):
There's really nowhere else to go
Then his body's on mine and I cannot say no
(Ensemble thing that I really don't want to write cause I'm lazy. Also Ham and Laurens saying yes a lot)
Say no to this
I simply can't say no to this
There's nowhere else to go
(Henry Laurens reading Alexander's letter stating a lie about what happened between him and John, the lie being something that would adequately cover something up)
(Henry Laurens):
Oh
(Alexander):
No one will ever know
(Alexander and John meet in a kiss once more in relief and acceptance, they're probably in bed and sweaty right now if you know what I mean. Alexander's red locks are let down from his ponytail and brushing the side of John's face)
