    Summary

    Alex hasn’t heard from Henry in a few days. A year ago, he would have panicked. He would have fallen into a spiral about the whys surrounding Henry’s apparent disappearance from society. Now, though, he just swings by the convenience store after class, buys a few bottles of water and a poor American jaffa cake substitute, then takes the subway to Henry’s apartment.

    Summary

    "What are those?" Henry looks curiously at the colourful beads.

    "Friendship bracelets." Alex extends his arm for Henry to see.

    "You made them?" Henry gapes at Alex as if he invented the concept.

    "Um, yeah," he answers.

    "All of them?"

    "You've never made one?" Alex asks back in disbelief.
    --
    It all starts with a friendship bracelet and two swings at a park.

    Summary

    “I’m just a little overstimulated,” Alex lies, and Arthur would feel worse about it if he didn’t understand why.  “Do you mind?”  Alex nods to the left, indicating the nook beneath the bar by Arthur’s feet where Alex has found solace many times before.

    Though never quite for a reason like this.

    Arthur nods anyway, silently wiping a frustrated tear off of Alex’s cheek.  “Anytime, son.  You know that.”

    Alex bites his bottom lip, his eyes fluttering closed.  “Thanks, Pops.”  He exhales.

     

    ---

     

    or - 5 times Arthur watches Alex deflate when Henry mingles with other men, 1 time he watches them together.
