I've never written anything for Hamilton before so this is my first story for this fandom, enjoy!


Alex wasn't sure where he should go. School had let out a couple of hours ago and although it was only near 6PM Alex didn't exactly have someplace he was welcome. Not to mention a teen wondering the streets on his own with no designation is bound to get someones attention.

He was avoiding Mr. Pierce and his neighborhood like the plague, he didn't need to have a run in with him or possible his Social Worker either.

Honestly bored out of his mind Alex eyed the long brick wall surrounding the abandoned factory in interest. Climbing up wouldn't be to hard for him...and the wall reached to the end of the block so he could easily just walk along there and not have to worry about bumping into anyone or becoming a pickpocket's prey. A quick glance around showed Alex that no one was watching him so now would've been the perfect opportunity.

Alex made quick work of scaling the brick wall, the wall itself was at least six feet high. Laughing lightly Alex dramatically placed one foot in front of the other in exaggerating movements as he began walking down the length of the wall.

Unknown to Alex a certain freshman at Revolution's College was standing across the street with another freshman by his side and was staring at him as though he were the craziest man alive.

"Oh my god..." The one freshman murmured causing the other to turn and look at him oddly.

"Burr?" The other freshman said, "What the hell are you staring at? Burr!"

"Jefferson look!" Aaron Burr hissed pointing across the street.

Jefferson's eyes widened once he finally saw what and who Aaron was pointing at, "What in gods name is he doing?!"

Aaron and Jefferson both tensed as Alex suddenly spun in a circle on top of the wall, that was definitely taller than either of them, looking as though he were about to fall.

Alex's loud laughter irritated both of them at how flippant he was being about possible getting himself hurt. Without a seconds hesitation the both of them raced across the street, ignoring the shouts and horns going off behind them, towards where Alex was spinning on the wall.

"Hamilton!" Jefferson and Aaron both yelled the moment they were close enough for Alex to hear them.

"Waah!" Startled Alex lost his footing and it was only thanks to the dual effort of Jefferson and Aaron that he didn't end up cracking his head open on the sidewalk.

"Wh-" Alex blinked repeatedly and squinted up and Aaron and Jefferson as he was in their laps with them staring down at him, "What the fuck?"

"Language!"

Alex glared at the teen he didn't know and pushed him away before turning his glare onto Aaron, "Are you following me?"

"What?" Aaron quickly held up his hands, "N-No! We saw you completely by coincidence!"

"Okaaaay," Alex hissed as he tried to sit up and felt an ache in his ribs and back, "Ouch. Damn, anyway mind telling me why the hell you two decided to start screaming my name and scaring the fuck out of me?"

"Was his cursing always so bad?" The teen Alex still didn't know the name of muttered but Alex ignored the odd statement and focused his attention on Aaron.

"Are you hurt?" Aaron asked.

Alex glared as he realized Aaron was purposely not answering his question, "I'm fine."

The teen snorted causing Alex too shoot him a glare, unaffected the teen spoke, "No you're not. Why don't you come with us so we can get you checked on and make sure nothing's broken."

"Nothing is broken." Was Alex's immediate response.

"You don't know that."

"Yes I do."

"No you don't."

"Yes I do." Alex smirked.

"No you don't."

"Yes I do."

"No you don't!" The teen yelled flailing his arms ever so slightly.

"Yes I fucking do!"

"How?!"

"Because I know what broken bones feel like!" Alex snapped causing complete silence to follow his declaration.

Aaron is staring at him oddly and Alex realizes he shouldn't have said what he had. Aaron clears his throat and his hold on Alex's arm is tight enough where he can't run off without a struggle, "What do you mean you know what broken bones feel like?"

Alex took a slow deep breath before smiling at the two of them, "Exactly what it imply's. I've broken bones before, no surprise really."

They both share a look that has Alex feeling like a child waiting to speak to the principal and knowing he was in trouble. Rolling his eyes at the strange thought Alex tried once again to stand and thankfully they let him but Aaron had yet to let go of his arm. Instead he began dragging Alex down the sidewalk with the other teen following closely behind.

"...Is this a kidnapping?" Alex asked sluggishly feeling suddenly dead tired.

Whatever Aaron had to say Alex never got to hear it because next thing he knew the world around him had faded to black and with it his consciousness.


Hmm this chapter is definitely shorter then I would've liked it to be but at least it's a update~!
