    Summary

    Not as hard as you'd imagine, managing your wayward romantic feelings for your married straight coworker. There was nothing actually at stake here, no illusions from him that anything might come of it. There was safety in that hopelessness. It meant he could just gather all those pesky emotions together in a little bundle, throw it over his shoulder and keep on hobbling along in life.

    And if sometimes he feels in danger of having a breakdown in the middle of the produce aisle at his local supermarket because he spotted a stupid fucking pineapple whilst doing his weekly shopping and it reminded him of an equally stupid tattoo adorning the forearm of an even more stupid man and it all makes him so overtaken with longing he could fall to his knees with it, then—well. That's nobody's business but his own.

    Summary

    The one rule Greg has about Alex (of which there are many smaller rules, each one of them nestled into the last) is that he cannot think about him.

    Summary

    Greg is getting irritated again. “I know I’m not one of Alex’s fifty closest friends, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care."

    “Did he tell you that?” Tim asks. "That you’re not one of his five hundred closest friends or whatever?"

    “I said fifty,” Greg says. “Now I’m thinking it’s five hundred and I feel even worse.”

    *

    Or: Tim has known Alex for two decades and knows him better than anyone, and still thinks he would rather die than hear Alex say something nice about him.

    Greg has known Alex for almost one decade now, but he still sometimes feel like he doesn't know him at all.

    Summary

    “Are Alex Horne and Greg Davies in love?”

    Knowing titters and nervous giggles rippled across the room.

    “Well the answer is no, but I’ll be honest with you,” he paused, pressed a finger to his lips, letting the tension build just so. “Part of me... would quite like him to fuck me.”

     

    …Wait.
