A/N I'm really happy about this chapter :3 I hope you soon Enjoy this story.

It was finally the weekend, and Peggy was excited that she could help someone instead of being the helped. Plus, they were glad they could help more than one person with this trip. The way they did it though, didn't really make Alex happy.

Alex's pov

"Wake up, we have a big day ahead of us!" Peggy yelled, chucking a pillow at Alexander, hitting him right in the back of his head. Alex groaned, turning to face Peggy.
"The first time I fall asleep without you forcing me and yet you wake me up like this?" He asked, annoyance rising in his voice.
"Hey, it's what you have to do when you're the third wheel of the 'Important sisters'," Peggy shot back, giving him a glare.

  Hamilton's expression changed to slight concern, but not before Peggy realized what they said, quickly telling Alex, " Um... Anyways, how about you get up and eat something, Ihavetogototherestroomnowbye, " and running into the bathroom. Huh, I'll have to find out about that at a later date, time to get ready I guess, Alexander thought, getting himself out of  bed.

(Not really anyone's p.o.v)

   It has been about ten minutes since Peggy dragged, John, Alex, Eliza, and Angie into a car and towards the mall. "We're here!" Peggy said, parking in a spot close to the front.
   "How the heck did you get a spot like this on a weekend?" Angelica asked, while getting out of the car after everyone else.
  "Magic!" Peggy responded back, doing jazz hands. "Anyways, how about my sister's and I go looking around and you can help find Alex some clothes, is that okay John?" They suggested.

  "Sure, that's fine by me," John answered, still a bit tired from Eliza rudely waking him up.
  "Yeah, I guess so," Alex replied.

This is gonna be a long day, Alex thought to himself as they separated, watching the siblings as they walked towards the mall. That left him with John, and the first of many awkward silences to occur on this trip flourished as they started heading towards the mall.

"So, do you have a certain style?"
  "No," Hamilton said bluntly.
"Well, what do you like?"
  "I don't know."
John paused for a second, "Wait, so we have to start from the beginning?"
  "I guess," Alex said plainly, Looking far into the mall, watching as people, passed and entered the stores of the mall. John sighed, trying to think of a way to do this.
"Hmmm.. Let's just go to random stores and see what you like, Peggy did set this up for you so let's not waste it," John mentioned.
  Alexander looked back at John, a fake smile plastered onto his face that John found obvious, " That's fine," Alex agreed hesitantly, before they started walking through the mall.

After only three stores, Hamilton has thought about only a few things that he said he liked before they took a break, deciding to head towards the food court on the third floor. "So, what do you want to eat?" John asked. He could tell that Alex was really uncomfortable as they walked past food place by food place, and he could understand why. He was basically buying a lot of clothes with someone he had only met about a week ago.
  "Umm... It doesn't matter, but you don't have to pay for me," Alex mumbled , a little anxious as they walked through the food court.

  John stopped walking, causing Hamilton to stop too. When Alexander turned around to face him, he saw a sympathetic look on John's face.
"I know that this is uncomfortable for you, but to let you know, Peggy cares about you, and I do as well. Yeah, Peggy tells me how hard it is to sleep due to you typing all night, but they were also concerned that you aren't getting enough sleep. Plus, they told me to make sure that you didn't spend any money today, so its on me," John finished. He then walked ahead, turning around and reaching out his hand, "C'mon, let's go eat."

Alex smiled, taking John's hand and walking on to find something to eat.

•°. Time skip brought to you by my obsession of music.°•

  After they got something to eat, they sat down at a table near a railing, which was the edge of the 3rd floor, looking down past it to see the two lower floors of the mall. Alexander took a sip of his drink as an awkward silence somehow filtered through the loud mall as people walked past.

  "So, you're Peggy's roommate right?" John started, earning a nod from Alex."They talk about you a lot, and how annoyed and concerned they are of you every day," He added, chuckling a bit. Alex smiled slightly at the comment, putting his drink back onto the table.
  "Yeah, I do seem to annoy them a lot," Alexander chuckled.

  An idea popped into John's head, Silence between the two appeared again, a bit less awkward this time, but still awkward. Hamilton just looked down past the railing, watching as the swarms of people as they walked in and out of the many shops the two floors below them had. He was awestruck at how big  the mall is, and how different it was to his old city Nevis, or at least how he lived in it.

  John finally looked up from his thinking, causing Alexander to turn his head toward him. Alex noticed how there was a bit of hope in his olive, green eyes as well as doubt.
  "So, I realize that our friend group is mainly composed of them, and seeing that you called Peggy by her correct pronouns, you're okay with the lgbt+ community?" He asked, causing Alex to chuckle.
  "Of course! Isn't it obvious? I'm actually bi myself," Alex stated, taking a final bite out of his food.

  John smiled, "Oh, that's cool! I'm actually gay, my friends say that it's obvious but I don't think so really," John sighed. Alex grinned, leaning on the railing.
  "It's actually kinda obvious actually," Alex smirked. John blushed a dark red, a face of confusion plastered on their face. Alex burst out laughing, "Hey, I'm a very observant person, you literally stared at any guy looking remotely our age for exactly 7 seconds straight, if not longer."

  John froze, blushing even darker, he noticed that?! I didn't even notice that myself, but now that I remember, it's actually true, he thought to himself as he lowered his head down in embarrassment.
"Well, it's not my fault that every guy in he(e)re is amazing looking," John defended himself.

  After realizing what he said, he looked up to see Alex, wiggling his eyebrows. "Oh come on, you know what I meant," John grumbled, feeling really embarrassed. Why did I have to say that?, John thought to himself. Is it because it's true? Well yeah, but you don't just randomly say it.

  "Hey, are you okay over there? I didn't mean to actually offend you," Alexander asked, causing John to jump, looking at the person across from the table.
"Oh, um… yeah, I'm fine, I just didn't know that you noticed it…" He replied, his voice slowly getting softer and softer. Alex couldn't help but smile at John's still flustered face.

  Hamilton soon grabbed his trash, as well and John's, and walked on the white, tile floor to the trashcan about 10 feet away. The many people at the mall could be seen below but still heard throughout the food court as John stood up and joined Alex as he was heading back to the table.

  "Hey, we should get back to looking at stores before Peggy yells at us for not finding anything," John recommended, amusement in his eyes.
"Oh yeah, right," Alex paused, blushing a little, "You know, we should hang out more often."
  A grin crept onto John's face, a light blush forming on his face as well, " Yeah, I think we should too."

  Peggy, assuming you picked me to do this for more of a reason than clothes, thank you so much, John thought to himself as he and Alex headed to the next store.

So, do you like it, cause I absolutely loved writing it! Anyways, school is about to start in less than a week for me so even though I'll have less time to do things, I won't have that stop me from writing.

Enjoy this chapter!
