THOMAS JEFFERSON :

“You know I’m no doctor, James. Sometimes I panic a bit too much.” Thomas admitted, smiling sheepishly. That was true, it had been Martha who patched up his wounds and their children’s wounds when he had gotten into fights because of his beliefs. “And yet, I’ve invested myself in reading hundreds of medical books to help you out.” Thomas truly did care for him. James was the one person Thomas knew he couldn’t lose. James was the closest thing to Family he had. “I only wish to care for you. My offer of going to Château de la muette still stands.” Maybe he was trying to coax him into France just a bit.

he shook his head with a minuscule teasing smirk. thomas truly was ridiculous at times. his doctors were capable, && hardly needed the assistance of a politician hovering over their shoulders – both figuratively and literally at times. ❝—- i promise you, i do not need to be cared for. ❞ though james knew why he cared so much, he still thought it silly. how much money had his friend wasted on medical texts that were used solely for his sake? ❝—- you have greater concerns than my ever-present debility. ❞

THOMAS JEFFERSON :

Thomas looked at him with a raised eyebrow and a fond smile. It wasn’t a secret that he was more concerned for him now, he had lost his child and wife to sickness, two years apart from each other and it had torn him apart but also made him stronger. “I’m sorry, I know you hate it when I do but I am just looking out for you. I don’t think I would forgive myself if you died and I did nothing. You are my closest friend, James. I simply want you to be healthy.”

❝—- you’ve done far from nothing. ❞ indeed, it was thomas who assisted in caring for him when he fell ill, often busied himself with studies on medicine and sickness in hopes of finding something to help the sickly man. many times he had suggested the château de la muette where the young french dauphin resided during periods of illness under claims that the air would heal him. more likely, james thought, was that thomas was attempting to coax him into france.

RP starters: Concern.

“It’s midnight, where the hell were you?!”

“Stop keeping your phone in silent, you got me worried!”

“Blood? Are you bleeding?”

“I don’t like the idea of you walking down the streets all alone.”

“I thought I would never see you again…”

“We should get you to hospital.”

“Where did all those bruises came from?”

“I have the right to be worried!”

“Have you been drinking? You look terrible.”

“Sleep at my place tonight.”

“I don’t feel safe letting you be alone when you’re in that shape.”

“Please talk to me about it.”

“Let me take care of you.”

“You need to rest now. Don’t move.”

“How many times have I told you to not go there?”

“You could’ve died, you know…”

“I don’t care if you don’t want my help, I’ll do it anyways.”

“You really need to stop drinking. I’m serious.”

“This time you got yourself into a hospital. I think that’s a sign.”

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

“You need to stop doing stupid shit like that or you will get yourself killed.”

“I’m your friend, of course I care!”

“You know I’m always here for you, right?”

“You’re not okay.”

“I’m just trying to help you.”

“Let me clean your wounds…”

“Why did you do it? Tell me.”

ALEXANDER HAMILTON :

@ofconstitutions

“But I’m going to be here ‘til forever So just call when you’re around." 

brows furrow as he studies the man, some concern touching his features. ❝—- surely you are well aware that you will not be here forever? ❞ 

[rpmemes-galore]

Send me ⊗ + a word for my muse’s thoughts on that subject.

[ofconstitutions-blog]

ALEXANDER HAMILTON :

@ofconstitutions found the writer at work

          ✒️ “To what do I owe the pleasure                    of your visit, Mr. Madison?”

     Glancing up from the work before him, Alexander realized that much time had passed since he’d last thought to stop for a moment. His hand moved quickly, and his mind moved quicker still. The concept of time had to be put aside when one worked so frequently.

          ✒️ “Is there something you need from me?”

     Madison was one of the few people he would give his full attention. He was more bearable even if he had his flaws. At least he could muster respect for someone despite conflicting opinions.

❝—- a pleasure indeed. ❞ he circled the man’s desk, noting the small compartments filled with quills, small booklets, && scraps of parchment, among other things.

to consider hamilton a friend was perhaps pushing the definition of the word. politics were too much a part of daily life, not only for himself as a member of the government but for every american, for holders of such radically opposing ideals to become closer than acquaintances. a certain amount of caution had to be exercised at all times.

a hand ran over his mouth, index finger && thumb tracing his laugh lines. unpleasant news was unpleasant news, however it may be delivered.

❝—- i have a tidbit of… less than admirable information that i have been asked to share with you. i must ask you not to shoot the messenger. ❞

[ofconstitutions-blog]

I will never forget you. #Jefferson

✕

❝—- && i will not give you the opportunity. ❞ james leans up to press his forehead to the other man’s own, having to gently pull him downwards by the nape of his neck to do so. only a millisecond passes before his eyes close – the tears that prick at them are too much for him to restrain otherwise, && he refuses to openly cry.

JOHANNA LAURENS :

@ofconstitutions Johanna looked back over st him and sighs. Of course he would say that, to all men it was just plain you are fit. Truthfully though she could see her stomach well, and the sleeves were tight, too tight. He did not even look up. “It is true, I mean for petes sake it is tighter in areas it shouldn’t. Only the skirt looks well.” She said as she sat down on the couch near him, just to sigh again.

he breathed a sigh. these… feminine sensitivities were so far out of his realm of expertise. he was rather awkward with women, in fact. ❝—- you ought not be so sensitive. you are a beautiful woman. ❞ james’ leg jumped slightly, hoping that the last comment was appropriate. he only wanted to make her feel better, after all, so surely it was alright. if it made her uncomfortable he would just apologize && move on.

THOMAS JEFFERSON :

“It is not as fun to torment people when you are not around. Especially Hamilton, it is much more hilarious when we both torment him, not just I, James.” Thomas cracked a small grin at his friend. Thomas enjoyed taunting Hamilton as much as he enjoyed reading but it wasn’t as fun to do when his friend was absent. “And how is your health? Have you been eating properly?” Thomas was always concerned about his friends’ health, seeing as he got sick a little too often.

a faint chuckle, more of a cadenced breath than anything, passed his lips. if it went beyond innocent questioning he would grow agitated, as he loathed when thomas pandered to him. he was a grown man fully capable of caring for his health, no matter how delicate it may be. ❝—- yes, mother. i even chose my own stockings this morning. ❞

he paused upon recalling that dolley had indeed pointed out a small rip in the original pair he had chosen && sent him upstairs to fetch another. irrelevant.

Do you trust me? #Monroe

✕

monroe has been a good companion to him. under recommendation of thomas they had reached out to one another, && his good nature persuaded him through countless rough hours. he knew when the man picked up a campaign that it was nothing personal. all this said, when a man must inquire about perceptions of virtue, it isn’t unwarranted for the party asked to become wary. madison is no exception. a root of doubt should not be planted by the question, but james can’t help himself from wondering if the affable personality is a ruse that he has fallen under. after all, something like that is not asked without prompt.

he takes a slight step back, his posture changing only slightly to a more taut stance. his face is unchanged, however, as he watches the younger man with a certain amount of reverence && admiration. perhaps all men are wicked, but surely monroe is less than most. he has always been an honest, kind man.

after a long while of silent observation && reflection on years passed, his head ducks in a quick nod.

❝—- perhaps a deleterious amount. but you have piqued my interest. why do you ask me this? have i acted too leery of you? ❞ brows furrow with concern at the possibility of having, god forbid, insulted one of the few men he calls a friend. ❝—- if i have, you’ll forgive me – these elections bring out the worst in even the most saintly of men, you know. ❞
