Proposals
“They made up,” Aaron said tiredly on the phone.
“How?” Angelica’s indignant voice says from the other line.
“I don’t know. Madison, Jefferson, and Alexander enter the room. The Virginians got the Potomac, Alex got the banks, and Jefferson got Alex back,” Aaron said, kicking off his shoes and sitting on his couch.
“Well, me and everyone else are coming back next week. Are you sure you don’t know what happened?” Angelica asks one last time.
“Positive, love. No one else was in the room where it happened,” Aaron says quietly.
The line goes silent before it cuts completely.
‘Alexander Hamilton, what did they say to you to get you to sell New York City down the river?’ Burr thought. ‘What did Jefferson say to win your love back?’
The room where it happened
Alexander sat opposite from the two Virginians and casually took a sip from his wine.
Thomas was restless and James was sitting stone faced.
“The debt plan, Hamilton,” Madison said icily.
“Of course. We make a national bank to provide the government with funds to build infrastructure and passageways for the country after we take care of state debt. We don’t need a high tax rate but we need enough to provide us with money to build a properly functioning nation,” Alexander explains.
“But you don’t have the votes to establish such a thing,” Thomas said, adding to the conversation.
“No. I don’t. But I do have something you want,” Alexander said.
“What,” James questions.
“The Capital. I give you the Capital and I get the banks. Seems fair, no?” Alexander questions.
Madison smirks. “It does. I believe we have the base of an agreement. I will email you the rest later.”
Alexander blinks. “What do you mean later? Where are you going?”
“To my wife. You two need to talk,” James said forcefully.
Thomas started to argue but James’s look silenced him.
Madison walked out the door, his head held high.
Alexander gave Thomas an unimpressed look.
“So. Care to explain?” Alexander said.
Thomas sighed. He knew this had been coming. He should have known.
“First, I wanted to apologize. I should have written to you first instead of making you figure out with the rest of the world,” Thomas starts, his hand rubbing the back of his neck uncomfortably.
Alexander nods. “That’s a start.”
Thomas stands and cautiously moves towards Alex. The omega doesn’t move so Thomas takes one more step towards him.
“I didn’t mean for it to happen. I was drunk. I was so fucking stupid. I don’t know why I did that,” Thomas said, moving closer till there was a one step distance between the two.
Alexander tilts his head back and looks up towards Thomas. He purses his lips and looks contemplatingly at him.
“I chose my pride over you, and that was the biggest mistake I ever made. You are worth the world to me and my pride shouldn’t have gotten in the way of me showing you how much I loved you.”
Alexander snorts. “You got that right.”
Alexander felt his breath hitch as Thomas got down on his knees in front of him looking into his eyes with more sincerity than Alex had ever seen.
Thomas held each of Alex’s hands and placed a kiss to the top of each.
“I love you, Alexander Hamilton. Whether you love me or not, it doesn’t matter. You’re the love of my life. You were, you are, and I hope you always will be,” Thomas said sincerely.
Alexander felt his heart speed up as Thomas reached into his pocket for a velvet box.
“I was going to propose when you got back. I had the whole thing planned. A nice dinner at a restaurant, a walk by the beach. Then I would get down on one knee and propose,” Thomas said.
Alexander felt the breath leave his body as Thomas opened the box to show a beautiful silver band with a dazzling diamond on top.
“I love you Alexander Hamilton. Would you do me the honor of-”
“Yes!” Alexander shrieks, slamming his lips against Thomas’s.
Thomas laughs into the kiss.
“You didn’t let me finish,” Thomas said, holding his omega close.
He slips the ring onto Alexander’s finger.
“I don’t care. I love you too,” Alexander said, burying his face in the crook of Thomas’s neck.
“Did you really forgive me that easy?” Thomas asks after a moment.
Alexander shakes his head. “I don’t completely forgive you but this ring is living proof that you have the rest of our lives to beg and grovel for my forgiveness.”
Thomas chuckles, laying content with his omega on top of him.
This is exactly where he wants to be.
