    Summary

    He knows Alex is here. Henry can sense him, even if he didn’t already feel like he was reliving a fond memory.

     
    Henry walks through the doorway into the darkened kitchen, and there he is, sitting on the counter. Just like the first time, except he’s not on his phone.

    Summary

    “This might be the best one yet,” Henry comments, picking up another forkful of cheesecake and holding it out toward Alex. “Cheers to another successful con.”

    They clink their forks, sharing small secret smiles over their free dessert before exiting the restaurant with their fingers interlocked and thanking the hostess, while all the servers watch them leave with hearts in their eyes.

    Exactly the way they’d fucking planned it.

    Best friends Alex and Henry pretending to get engaged every week to get free dessert, until those pesky feelings get in the way.

    Summary

    The man doesn't even know how lucky he is to be in the same room as Henry, much less talking to him.

    Alex understands, though.

    When he talks to Henry, Alex hangs onto every word because he knows their inherent value, that they're more precious than the purest gold. When given the opportunity, he makes sure to appreciate the soft curve of Henry's lips, the sharp line of his jaw, all while listening intently to whatever Henry has decided to share with him.

    Alex gets it. He knows how sacred those moments are.

    But the difference is, Alex is in love with Henry.

    He has been for a while now.

    And that is why he's drunk.

    Summary

    “I shouldn't have any fucking complaints, okay? I know that. But I just…” Alex sniffs, and Henry wonders in horror if he's on the verge of tears. “I wish people wanted me for… more.”

    “More,” Nora repeats, sounding infinitely less antagonistic all of a sudden. “What do you mean?”

    “Not just for my body, or sex,” Alex clarifies, and there is the distinct sound of a chair creaking before he continues. “Is it too much to ask for someone to want all of me? For… For Henry to want all of me?”

    Oh, but Henry does.

    He would do anything that Alex asked, give Alex everything he has, and take whatever Alex offered without question.

    Part of Henry wants to burst through the barrier separating them, drop to his knees in front of Alex and offer up his bruised and scarred heart. The organ hasn't belonged to Henry since the moment he laid eyes on Alexander Claremont-Diaz, and Henry would give Alex all of the more he could ever want, if given permission.

    Alex should know that.

    It's Henry's fault that he doesn't.
