    Summary

    It’s not his first trip to Miami Beach for spring break. It’s his third, in fact, and Alex is looking forward to the predictability of another week with his friends in a rented beach house. They’ll all wake up, meet in the kitchen for mimosas, head to the beach, and spend the day getting pleasantly buzzed before getting properly drunk at a nearby club. He’s ready for the girls and the booze and the girls drinking the booze.

    What he’s not ready for, however, is a blond shirtless dude standing in the middle of the kitchen.

    (or: Alex falling in love throughout the seasons)

    Summary

    “I need to sleep on the right side or I get hives,” Alex blurts out, a blatant lie that cannot possibly be true, just so he stops thinking about Henry looking good, because that list was getting a bit too long and Alex wasn’t nearly running out of steam.

    “Yes, okay. That’s fine. Whatever you like, Alex.”

    Updated list: Henry looks really fucking good saying something like that, too.

    Summary

    Alex is homesick. Not for a particular place — the Claremont-Diaz family moved around far too often throughout his childhood, chasing Ellen and Oscar’s political dreams, for any particular state, town or city, to really feel like ‘home’ per se — but for a feeling.

    On a whim, he throws on the nearest scarf and makes his way out, his feet crunching in the freshly fallen snow — and down the street. He isn’t sure quite where he’s headed or what his plan is until he reaches the familiar light pink facade of The King’s Arms.

    Or: On a lonely, snowy Christmas Eve in Oxford, Alex makes his way to the local pub for some company. He gets more than he's bargained for when he meets bartender Henry. Not that's he's complaining.
