Accidentally hurt by a friend

“Yes, just leave those on my desk, for now, Hamilton. Have you completed the missives yet?” George asked from his position behind his desk. They had been working in the same office ever since Washington hired Hamilton to become his aide-de-camp at just 20 years old (20! Hamilton was basically a child as far as Washington was concerned). Their desks were on nearly separate sides of the room, however, with Alexander’s being the messiest. It was littered with both finished and unfinished papers that lay haphazardly on the surface while an inkwell sat open in the top right corner, a quill standing in it since it was not currently in use.

“I have started them and I am almost done” Hamilton hummed in reply, flipping through the papers he held in his hand to make sure that he had the right ones and that he wasn’t missing any. George looked up at Alexander for a moment before casting a glance out the window, noting the time with a sigh as the sun was so far down it was no longer visible.

“Well, I suppose you’ll have to finish them tomorrow. It is getting late, son, I think it’s time we both retire” George scooped up some of the papers he had in front of him, organizing them with a yawn. Hamilton placed down the papers he had been searching through and turned back to look at his desk as he realized that organization would become a top priority now that he remembered it existed. He let out a grumble as he walked over to the desk and began sorting his own papers.

“I’m not your son” He mumbled before turning back to look at his commander hopefully. “Sir, these missives are of the utmost importance, surely a few extra moments to finish them is no trouble?”

“Absolutely not. Though I have noted your desire to frequently not accomplish that of which you are instructed, I believe that a good night’s rest will do you well. God, you’ve been up almost all night for nearly three days, Hamilton! Come on, you need to go to your tent and rest. The missives will still be here tomorrow, son” George stood and shooed his aide-de-camp out the door, ignoring the whispered “I’m not your son” and the indignant squawks of protest. When he was gone, George turned to his desk and closed both his own and Alex’s inkwells before picking up one of Hamilton’s papers and reading it intently.

~~~~~~~~

Hamilton was practically shoved out the doorway before turning to ask a question. He sighed as he was met with a door. Deciding that he was, admittedly, quite tired, he headed towards his tent at a slow, exhausted pace. He paused at the entrance, staring at Hercules, Lafayette, and Laurens as they sang a song that was horribly offkey while sloshing the contents of their ale onto the ground without realizing it. So it was going to be one of those nights. He scooted along the edge, trying to avoid getting trampled by the drunk dancers as he sat next to Burr on his comrade’s cot. Burr looked up from his book for a moment to look at first Alexander, then the three drunks with amusement as Lafayette tripped and fell onto his face.

“Isn’t this a welcome sight to enter to?” Alex asked the only other none-drunk in the tent. Burr just rolled his eyes, although with a smile on his face, and stuck his nose deeper into his book.

“RaIse a glassss to fReedoMm!” Herc yelped, swaying on his feet and leaning on Laurens for support. Lafayette quickly got back to his feet and joined in, slowly moving his arms in a swaying motion. Soon, Herc was also swinging his arms slowly, followed by Laurens, who wasn’t really swaying his arms as much as he was creating a tornado made out of limbs as he flailed around.

“Alexx! C’mere and SiNg with uS!” Hercules called, despite Hamilton being only a few feet away. Alexander got to his feet, wary of the swinging arms, and looked at him in refusal.

“You call that singing? I thought you were just making meaningless animal noises at each other” Alex crossed his arms as Lafayette put a hand on his chest in fake hurt.

“‘hat was nott very kindd, mon amiii!” He slurred, grabbing Alex with an arm around his shoulders as dragging him into the group. Alex grumbled as all three of them quickly ended up spilling ale onto his shirt. He looked down at the stain, pulling the end of his shirt down to get a better look with a frown. What he didn’t notice, however, was the hand that was flying towards his face. A loud SMACK sounded through the tent, and the three abruptly stopped singing as Hamilton let out a small yell of surprise and put his hand to the side of his face.

“Oh, god I’m sorry, Alex, I didn’t mean to do that-” Laurens began, eyes wide in worry as his friend stumbled a little bit to regain his footing. Herc and Laf watched Hamilton in surprise and even Burr looked up again in what appeared to be curiously similar to worry. Hamilton rubbed the side of his face for a moment, a flashing pain consuming the area where he was slapped.

“Augh, It’s quite alright, Laurens. I am sorry, I should’ve paid more attention to what was happening around me” He quickly apologized, sitting down on his own cot this time. He was sure there would be a red mark on his face and he just hoped Washington wouldn’t think he had been in a fight with a fellow soldier again. John placed his alcohol onto the ground with unsteady hands and sat next to Hamilton before he hugged him, squashing the man with his arms.

“I’m sorryy” The soldier repeated despite Alex’s own apology, wrapping his arms around his friend even tighter if that was possible. Alex just laughed as both Hercules and Lafayette joined in on the group hug.

“You are all very emotional when you are drunk” Burr commented dryly before his eyes returned to the pages of his book. Lafayette turned and glared at him for a moment.

“You are the worst, Burr”

“I am aware”

“Burr, get over here! You deserve to be in this hug too!” Laurens smiled at the other man, who, in return, gazed at him with amusement. Hamilton was sure that he would refuse, let out a few grumbles, maybe leave the tent to continue his reading elsewhere, but he didn’t. The reserved soldier simply sighed, put his book down beside him, and stood, walking over to the other four and joining in the group hug.

“Why is everyone hugging me, I just wish to rest” Alexander whined, trying to hide the fact that he was glad to have such interesting friends (Though he would never admit to such a thing aloud). At his words, Lafayette and Herc let go, standing and laughing quietly to themselves as John only held tighter. Burr let go too, opting to sit beside Hamilton with a hand on his shoulder.

“How did I get stuck with such bizarre comrades?” Aaron mumbled to himself as Alex looked at him with a grin. “I’m sure the whole of the camp is awake now as well” he added to no one in particular.

“I’m not sure about that, considering that no one has charged in demanding us to retire immediately. They are surely as tired as I” Alexander let out a fake groan, earning a smile from Laurens and an eye roll from Burr. “However, I truly do wish to rest now, so if you would all be so kind..” He gestured for the two soldiers to move. They relented, grumbling as they all made their way to their cots. Hamilton sighed contently, ignoring the faint tingle of pain from his face, as he laid down and began to drift off.

“And Burr, I do believe that you enjoy the entertainment of such strange friends”

“Well, I won’t argue with that”

Kaaakkk amiii why your words always like explain my mindd?????

Sebagai orang yang dianggap sangat kale. Aku berterima kasih banget sama penjelasan kak ami. Jadi aku tinggal ngirim link. Tanpa capek ngetik ulang 😭🙏

Menjadi Kale

"kalo kamu nyari yang bisa menghibur, atau nemenin kamu saat kamu butuh temen; aku bisa. Tapi ngga lebih, Wan"

"kalo kamu butuh orang untuk bikin kamu bahagia, bukan aku orangnya. Bukan karena aku ngga suka kamu. Tapi karena aku ngga mau punya tanggung jawab atas kebahagiaan orang lain. Siapapun orangnya, Wan. Bukan cuma kamu"

"bahagia itu tanggung jawab masing-masing, Wan. Aku pernah ngerasain bahagia, dulu. Lalu rasa itu dipaksa hilang tiba-tiba. Aku ngga mau itu kejadian lagi, Wan. Untuk memastikan itu ngga terjadi ya dengan tidak melibatkan orang lain dalam hal yang aku rasain. Mengikatkan diri--bukan itu jalan yang aku pilih. Cuma ini yang bisa aku kasih"

Dialog menakjubkan di atas diucapkan oleh Kale, salah satu pemeran NKCTHI yang secara menakjubkan juga ternyata sangat oke dibawakan oleh the one and only Ardhito Pramono.

Katanya, Kale softboi. Katanya, Kale brengsek. Katanya, Kale bgst. Katanya, Kale php.

Well, dialog Kale di atas, adalah jawaban paling realistis dan paling masuk akal, yang bisa digunakan untuk menjelaskan kondisi dimana manusia masih membutuhkan manusia lain, tapi ngga mau ada dalam label atau ikatan apapun. Jauh lebih baik daripada diem aja purapura nggatau, jauh lebih baik daripada ghosting, jauh lebih baik daripada bohong.

Be like Kale.

Kale sedang menjelaskan posisinya, tujuannya, dan informed consent Awan untuk kelanjutan cerita mereka. Justru pertanyaan "kita ini sebenernya apa" tuh baik sekali diutarakan, ketika lo memang haus sekali akan pernyataan pasti, kejelasan akan segala dan sesuatunya, terkait hubungan yang sedang lo jalani. Kalau lo merasa punya satu tujuan spesifik dan ingin mengkonfirmasi apakah lo dan partner lo punya tujuan yang sama, ya tanya.

Terus, brengseknya si Kale-Kale ini dimana?

Karena dia ngga satu tujuan dengan Awan? Lho, ya moso tujuan orang harus sama. Karena Kale ngasih harapan ke Awan padahal nggamau hubungan lebih? Lho, harapan Awan kan ada di luar kendali Kale. Kale was just being himself.

Karena dia nyium Awan di konser? Lho, Awan yang nyosor duluan kok. Karena dia mau nyium Awan abis nolak? Lho, dia ngga maksa, kan cuma nyoba, abis Awannya nolak juga udah, kelar. Apa karena dia deket sama Awan, nemenin kemana-mana, tapi nggamau komitmen? Lho, ya itu dia jelasin kalo dia cuma bisa sampe bates itu, nggamau lebih.

Nggamau komitmen padahal deket itu ngga brengsek, sayang.

Setiap orang berhak menentukan posisinya, maunya, tujuannya. Ngga ada yang salah dari harapan yang berbeda. Ngga semuamuanya pasangan yang kemana-mana berdua, atau bahkan kontak fisik sampai kontak seksual itu--harus ada komitmennya. Surprise? That's how life works, dear. Salah benar mah relatif. Toh pada akhirnya, kita manusia yang akan mencari segala cara untuk memenuhi kebutuhan kita masing-masing. Katanya, mau jadi manusia yang memberi manfaat kan? Bisa kok, saling memberi manfaat tanpa harus ada labelnya, tanpa harus ada ikatannya.

Justru, apa yang Kale bilang itu, harusnya bahkan dianut oleh pasangan yang berkomitmen sekalipun. Bahwa bahagia itu tanggungjawab masing-masing. Usaha untuk membahagiakan ya boleh, tapi pada akhirnya yang memutuskan akan bahagia atau ngga ya orang itu sendiri, bukan orang lain. Mandiri lah, masa bahagiain diri sendiri aja nyuruh orang lain. In the end of the time, you'll be all alone with yourself anyway, kok.

Jadi, kalo lo belum siap ketemu yang kayak Kale-Kale ini, mending belajar membahagiakan diri sendiri aja dulu dah. Biar ngga nyusahin orang buat ngurusin perasaan lo, biar ngga menghakimi orang as brengsek bgst dll just because you both don't go the same way, don't feel the same sparks.

And if you feel like a Kale, jujurlah saja menyampaikan apa yang lo mau dan lo butuh, kalo memungkinkan. Informed consent yang baik, supaya lo ngga disalahin rakyat karena dianggep php.

We don't need to have the same feeling after all. Urus perasaan masing-masing aja lah. Udah pada gede kan.

Btw, setelah nonton nkcthi 3x, baru semalem gue menyadari di scene Kale nyebrang sama Awan, muka Kale one of a kind banget ampun deh Ardhito hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Sekian dan mari bersiap menonton 1917.
