    Summary

    The Marriage Law states that all royalty of the Commonwealth must marry a Commoner. This has been the law for centuries and now it seems it's Henry's turn. Ten bachelors are taken from the Commonwealth and brought to England to pursue the bachelor Prince including one Alexander Claremont-Diaz, son of the Prime Minister of America.

    Only Alex and Henry hate each other.

    Only...maybe they don't?

    Summary

    For the second time that evening, a hand suddenly smacks his shoulder. Henry looks up, expecting Philip, but instead he is greeted with a smarmy smile. Henry’s stomach drops at the sight of the man who stands behind him.

    “Christopher,” Philip laughs. His brother stands, and he and the man shake hands vigorously above Henry’s head. Henry wants to melt into his seat and disappear. “I’m so glad you could make it. Henry, you remember my mate, Christopher Lewis?”

    Henry stares down at the intricately folded napkin in front of him.

    Christopher Lewis: 2011 St Andrews graduate, former head of the Eton rugby club, excellent skier, wine aficionado. Seven years older than Henry. Green eyes. Nice shoulders.

    Yes, Henry remembers Christopher Lewis. He wishes he didn’t.

    After years of not seeing him, Henry runs into Philip's old friend again. Fallout ensues.

    Summary

    “Tell me something true,” Alex all but commanded. “Something they wouldn’t think to put on a fact sheet.”

    “Such as?”

    “I don’t know, anything,” Alex told him earnestly. “Everything I knew about you before all this came from articles and news segments. That’s not the real Henry- I don’t give a shit about whoever that guy is. I want to know more about you.”

    “Oh,” Henry blinked at him, vaguely bewildered. “You realize that implies you give a shit about me now, right?”

    “Yeah, yeah, don’t let it go to your head,” Alex rolled his eyes but Henry could see him fighting a smile.

    Summary

    It became a thing.

    At first, Alex was hesitant, certain that he was intruding on Henry’s personal space. But Henry didn’t mind. He slept better with Alex by his side, too.

    But then Alex started coming into Henry’s bed more frequently; sometimes just when he couldn’t sleep or felt lonely. Or cold. Alex insisted that Henry’s bed was more comfortable and his room was better for sleeping because the bright street light outside Alex’s room was intrusive. Henry’s room faced the courtyard and was therefore darker. Basically, he made all sorts of excuses and Henry started to wonder about Alex’s true motivations…

    OR

    OMG they were roommates (who sometimes share a bed).

    Summary

    Three things happen on the last week of September that leads Alex into the café on a random Tuesday afternoon, eyes glued to the doors on the lookout for a familiar pair of blue eyes.

    Three things, in quick succession, that turns the Alex dismissive of Peer Tutoring program to signing up for a tutor himself for as many days in the week as possible.

    Three things that boil down to one thing when Alex really thinks about it, and that’s liquid gold hair, wide sky blue eyes, and rosy lips that Alex wants to somehow devour until swollen and preserve at the same fucking time. One thing with the name of Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor.

    Or, 5 times Henry doesn't realize Alex is good at English lit, and 1 time he does.

    Or, 6 times Henry and Alex's tutorship sessions turn into something else.
