Summary
Alex pulls back with a sudden gasp, looking a little dazed as he stares unseeing at the wall above Henry's head, and yeah, Henry can relate. His eyes dip to Alex's mouth, reddened and wet and kiss-swollen, and oh, God, he did that. He did that to Alex. Henry did that to Alex because they were just kissing.
Alex laughs faintly, a little disbelievingly, a soft smile curling his lips - his red, wet, kiss-swollen lips, because that does, in fact, bear repeating. "Oh," Alex whispers, still half-smiling. He finally drags his gaze away from the wall and manages to focus in on Henry's face. "Yeah... fuck, I'm... I think I'm into guys? Um... yeah, pretty sure I'm definitely into guys."

Summary
It’s more of a question for himself than for the students, he realizes. Underneath all of the studying, AP classes, and playing lacrosse year round with zero breaks, Alex notices that he never even had a chance to try and discover himself in high school, and certainly not in college like everybody said he would. His heart drops to the floor once he realizes that he doesn’t have a clue who his high school self actually was when you strip away the perfect grades or the title of the perfect student.
Alex isn’t sure he’ll ever have the chance to rest in his life, and he knows that’s his fault, too.
* * *
or, Alex is a high school social studies teacher and Henry is an AP English teacher, they "hate" each other, but their students are convinced they're in love and secretly married.

Controlled Experiment by clottedcreamfudge for bleedingballroomfloor

Summary
Basically, what it boils down to is this; Alex is mostly sober when he says - to a group of people he barely knows - "Yeah, I might be a little queer, but who knows? I'd kinda like to experiment though, y'know?"
This statement, which is actually something he's thought about a lot, is met by general bobbing of heads, in the kind of bros-trying-to-be-chill way that usually happens when a bunch of straight guys are trying very hard to be non-toxic. That is to say, it's kind of awkward, but they get mad props for trying.
The only person who isn't nodding is Henry, Pez's best friend and the only known gay man in this circle of people. Alex has no clue about the others, but he knows Henry's gay because Pez once introduced him as, "the most handsome man in all of Christendom — and before you ask, no we've never shagged, which is a damn shame. Not for lack of trying on my part, of course, but Henry's one of those gays who thinks it's bad manners to get drunk and have an inadvisable fumble with your best friend for larks."

Try Me On For Size by everwitch for bleedingballroomfloor

Summary
"Yeah, I might be a little queer, but who knows? I'd kinda like to experiment though, y'know?"
Henry’s carefully orchestrated nonchalance melts away in an instant.
He’d been about to do what he always does at these shindigs when the topic of hypothetical queerness is brought up; come out. In this strange little pocket of humanity — this full-volume version of reality filled with red solo cups and many a youth exploring their sexuality — making his preferences known has always been Henry’s most successful first step on his path towards getting laid. And Henry does, truly, want to get laid tonight; he didn’t spend well over fifteen minutes on his hair for bloody Instagram clout. His discreet but unmistakable rainbow wristband isn’t meant to signify allyship.
The thing is, though, that Henry’s personal gay agenda for the night may just have taken an interesting turn; Alex wants to experiment.
***
In which Alex does experiment, and Henry is a most willing participant.

Summary
From where he’s standing, he can see the bottle of wine on Henry’s desk, an empty glass waiting for Alex, Henry’s own glass on the top of the piano. He watches the movement of Henry’s shoulders under his oversized cardigan, his slender fingers dancing across the keys, gold wedding band glinting in the lamp light, his nails painted in a deep navy—
Henry is wearing nail polish.
Or
When Alex finds Henry playing the piano and wearing nail polish, he can’t help himself.
