Tired yet? Me too.
Like little school children that were just caught in a food fight, everyone sits on the stairs. Peggy was sitting by herself, Jay giving her medicine to help with the pneumonia that still clung to her.
"Alright." Caroline crosses his arms. "What the fuck is going on?"
"Well, I found traitors-"
"Fuck off." Thomas growls, and Fredrick frowns.
"You guys are fucking traitors and I'll stick to that you little shit-"
"O-ho! I'll show you whose a little shit when I shove my FOOT up your ASS!" Thomas gets up, and Amelia puts a hand on his shoulder.
"Okay, how about this." She says calmly. "Since you all are acting like children, we'll do this like your children. You." Alex looks up, confused as she points at him. "Explain." Alex rubs his neck before sighing.
"Okay, so from what I know, Fredrick hates us. He kidnapped us- well, he sent his little lackeys to kidnap us- and dragged us here somehow. He put me and Thomas in the basement and only gave us wet wood. I'm suprised WE wernt the ones to get pneumonia."
"At the same time..." George says, his hand half raised. Caroline nods at him and he continues. "At the same time, he made Peggy and Aaron take care of all the animals except for the dogs and go through the huge ass garden in the back. He put me in a tower and sprayed me with water." George says.
"And he hurt William!" Thomas says, finally sitting back down. "I was so scared Will was going to die while me and Alex ripped up our sheets to wrap up his back and his ribs."
"He also made his lackeys take over the white house and caused us to loose our memory." Angelica finishes, glaring at Fredrick. Caroline looks back at her older brother with a frown.
"George William Fredrick." She growls. "I put you in charge so I could take a break, visit my girlfriend, and fix our relationship with Russia and France. I come back to the place being a litteral shit show! What the fuck?!"
"I told you you should have put Amelia in charge and just brought Fredrick. This wouldn't have happened." Zara says, leaning against the wall. "Fredrick is not well in the head."
"I am very much well!" Fredrick frowns. "I did this so WE could have more land, more opportunities! Have you seen America?? Dont you remember the pandemic they had when Ronald Wrump was president? That pandemic killed two thirds of their population, and yet we- and all the other countries- still let them flit around and say their the best country when they arnt?"
"That's not your call!" Caroline says.
"Yes it is my call! Technically, I've done nothing wrong!"
"I was placed in charge of Britan after mom and dad died, Fredrick. I'm the one whose supposed to fix our relationships with other countries after you've broken them. I leave for a month and you kidnap the president of the FUCKING UNITED STATES! Jesus Christ, if you hadn't kidnapped his other friends as well I'd think you had a grudge against George!" George blinks, and Caroline sighs, rubbing her eyes. Zara walks over, whispering something in her ear and rubbing her back.
"For now, you guys will stay here, in the castle. Amelia will show you to some BETTER-" At this, Zara glares at Fredrick, who crosses his arms. "rooms to sleep in tonight, and tommorow, we'll fly you guys home. Terribly sorry again. You two." She points at two guards that were standing nearby. "Take Fredrick and place him in his room for now. Caroline will deal with him later."
"You can't just fucking ground me! I'm a grown ass man!" Fredrick growls, and thats when Alex could physically see why John liked Caroline so much. Angelica and Caroline were the same when they got pissed off. Their shoulders squared, their eyes squinted slightly; Their chest puffed out and their face got slightly red. Alex nearly soiled himself when Caroline took a step forward, and he could see George and Peggy violently flinch.
"You are NOT a FUCKING clown, Fredrick. YOUR THE WHOLE ASS FUCKING CIRCUS!" She yells, and Fredrick shrinks slightly. "You have gone on a goddamn kidnapping spree for a month. You've been deliberatly hurting people- INCLUDING MY FUCKING NEPHEW-" William walks over to Thomas and Alex, the expression on his face akin to the one somebody makes when their at their friends house and the friend's mother starts yelling at the friend. "for no reason!" Fredrick looks small compaired to Caroline, and she takes a deep breath in an effort to calm herslef down. "Take him to his room, I will deal with his clown ass later. Amelia, if you could please help them to some nicer rooms, and get their friend a bit more medicine, that'd be nice." Amelia blinks as Caroline makes her exit, looking over at the others, who had the same expression on their face. It was the look you made while the friends mother is yelling at said friend. You act like you arnt listening, but you totaly and compeltly are.
"So... Whose ready for a bath and bed?" Amelia says.
: :
Alex huffs as he falls down onto the soft bed, a sigh of relief and pleasure leaking from his mouth.
"Oh my god this bed feels like litteral heaven." He says, and Thomas shrugs, drying his fluffy hair.
"Not better than the beds at montecello, but better than the beds in the dungeon." He finally gets his hair dry, flopping down on the bed. "Damn, I really needed that shower."
"Same here." Thomas yelps slightly as Alex crawls over him, laying down on the right side of the bed. "I feel better now that I've had a shower." Thomas blinks, staring at Alex, who grins.
"You.. Do know you can sleep in your own bed, right?"
"Yeah, and?"
"It's not cold anymore and we don't have to cuddle for warmth anymore..."
"And?" Alex says, and Thomas stares at him again.
"I feel like I'm missing something-
"Oh my-" Alex huffs, rolling his eyes. "You dickhead; I like you!"
"Me? But I though- What-"
"Dude, have you not noticed I've slept with you because I can? I've liked you for a while now, I just didn't know how to tell you." Alex says, crossing his arms. "Plus, I didn't want this to sound like no movie scene or anything- you know how much I hate cliche's.."
"Mhm, trust me, Laf texts me every video of you ranting about cliches. It's pretty funny." Thomas lays down, and Alex flops down on his chest, pulling the covers over them.
"I just think some cliches are stupid, thats all." He yawns, and for the first time since finisheing physical therapy, Alex is absolutly exhausted. "Now go to bed, shush."
"Your the one still-"
"Shhhh." Alex mumbles drowsily, and Thomas sighs, stretching a bit to wrap his arm around Alex.
"Goodnight Alexander." He mummers, and Alex smiles, his eyes sleepily finding Thomas's in the dark.
"Night Thomas."
