it was hard to not know Lafayette. A lot of people around knew the loud and friendly French imigrant. Some liked him, some didn’t. It often depended on racism wich was a big problem these days, people often judged him of skin color, his nationality, how he tended to be awkward or the way he talkedBut you didn’t mind it, Hamilton, Burr, Mulligan and Laurens didn’t mind. Not even Washington did. They were open for French. As long as he was on their side it was fine.

But Marquis always seemed to like you the most. You were his best friend, he never left your side and always hang out with you the most. And honestly? It was nice, he always brought some light to your life. It was never boring with him. He always had some crazy ideas and stories to tell. Even when sometimes it was hard to understand him.

Like today- you went to visit him. You two were on that stage of friendship that you two just walked to eachother houses unannounced. So you drove to his mansion and walked in, you called out for him and he answered- his voice coming from kitchen. What could he possibly be doing in kitchen…?

You walked into the kitchen where you spotted Marquis. Standing in front of counter, baking something. He looked funny like that, wearing a kitchen apron, having some flour on his cheek and on his curly black hair, and that wide smile on his face.

“{{user}}! Nice to see toi.”

He said, his tone happy as always. He often mixed French with English, mostly when he forgot words- so you were used to it. He put the thick batter wich was half put on a baking tray already. It looked like he was baking a thing called eclairs. They weren’t popular in America yet, but he liked to remind himself of his ow culture, Lafayette still sometimes missed his country.
