Alexander stood outside Gate H-51, biting his lip and fiddling with his jacket zipper nervously. He hadn’t seen Thomas, his sweet, amazing, boyfriend, Thomas, in three months. He knew that Thomas had only left to France as part of a business trip, but that didn’t mean Alexander missed him any less.
Electric beeps sounded in the airport, signaling that the plane had landed. Alexander stared at the doorway exit from the plane, his heart thumping quickly in his chest.
After what felt like hours, but was more likely just a few minutes, Alexander saw a man with curly, puffy hair walk out of the doorway. His eyes lit up as he saw Alexander, running toward him ecstatically.
“Alex!” Thomas exclaimed, pulling Alexander into his arms and spinning him around, laughing with happy tears in his eyes. “I missed you so damn much, Alex!”
“I missed you too- Thomas, what are you doing?” Alexander asked as Thomas set him down and dropped to one knee.
“Alexander Hamilton, I love you more than words can express. And since words are your forte, I think I’ll keep this short and just get to the point. Will you-”
And that precise moment was when the man in the corner with the loaded gun decided to make his presence known.
