    Summary

    “Where are we going, anyway?”

    Henry stops, turns to Alex. Everything behind him suddenly brighter and blooming and green. It’s kind of fucking incredible. Pretty. Makes Henry look unfortunately very hot.

    “The palace. Where you belong.”

    Alex’s brow furrows. “Where I…Where I what now?”

    Summary

    “Sweetheart,” Alex says gently, “A blindfolded six-year-old would beat you in a fight right now. I’m not worried about you running off with my twelve tons of textbooks and empty coffee cups.”
    Henry makes a valiant effort to glare at him, but his eyes flutter shut and he frowns like he’s not sure how it happened. He manages to blink them back open and says, “I’m fine.”
    “You’re dead on your fuckin’ feet. Tell me what day it is and I’ll let you walk outta here on your own.”
    “Um.”
    Alex snorts. “Nice effort. Come on. I’m taking you to my room.” He picks up Henry’s bag and slings it over his shoulder with his own, and Henry gives him a squinty little frown. “Stop being cute,” Alex says.
    “You stop being cute,” Henry mumbles. Then, “Fuck. Fine, I need a nap.”


    Alex steals a bag, makes a friend and learns some things about himself.
    Henry… meets a disaster and decides to keep him.

    Featuring: chaotic friends & friendly thievery, queer found family, so much teasing, spicy Mexican food, cheeky teenagers, communication & boundaries, silly sea animals, and conversations about attraction & identity

    Summary

    They hoist themselves up onto the counters, Alex on the island and Henry opposite him, tucked into the corner with his knees pulled to his chest. Henry can feel Alex watching him, but he’s not sure he wants to face whatever’s playing out in Alex’s expression. He gets through half of his ice cream before giving in and meeting Alex’s eyes, and he cannot for the life of him read what he sees in them.
    “Can I tell you a secret?” Alex says.
    Henry hums and lifts an eyebrow. “Is it a good one?”
    “Maybe?” Alex says. He pokes at his ice cream and eats another spoonful, looking carefully at Henry. “I was gonna kiss you at midnight.”


    At the NYE Gala, Henry starts feeling the hazy edges of anxiety and an uncomfortable tightness in his chest. It takes him longer than it should to take notice of the feeling, and even longer to realise that the cause is likely the binder he’s been wearing all day. He escapes the party, Alex gets him upstairs to his room to change, and the rest of the night goes far differently than Henry could have expected.

    Featuring: comfort; teasing; so, so much communication; confessions over ice cream; a Very Important List; spilled tea; and the soft, sweet love they both deserve

    Summary

    “When I was in college, my girlfriend and I used to play this game—”

    Henry has been through extensive and rigorous etiquette training. Private tutors. The whole lot. He’s been thoroughly and expertly edified to remain impassive, attentive, unruffled, in even the most extreme of circumstances. But if this gorgeous man is about to tell him about some sort of perverted royal roleplay he engaged in with his college girlfriend, Henry’s going to revisit his decision about not jumping out of the bloody window.

    Or: Henry attends a charity gala intent on changing the trajectory of his life. He certainly does, but not quite in the way he intended.

    Summary

    “How thick do you think I am, exactly?”

    Alex mumbles something under his breath that sounds like, “Got away with it this long, didn’t I?”

    Henry’s eyebrows shoot to his hairline. “I’m sorry, are you bragging about lying to me?”

    After a long pause, Alex says, “...No.” slowly.

    “Hm. Thought not.”

     

    In which Henry can’t recognise the sound of his own boyfriend’s voice, Alex isn’t as good of a liar as he thinks he is, and living with a superhero is both exactly, and not at all, what Henry thought it would be.
