Sweet Defeat (слэш)

In his long career, general Washington has won a lot of battles, and has known surrender and defeat as well. He should have known the impending defeat on the first night Alexander Hamilton asks him, quietly, how the general deals with the freezing cold of the winter when the fuel and the blankets are both scarce. When he suggests, with words so carefully chosen that the offer doesn’t offend, that if the general were so willing, if he doesn’t find the idea of sharing a tent and a bed with a lowly aide repulsive, Hamilton would be honored to serve his general in any way possible.
