    Summary

    Alex lives his life like he has a fire under his ass for no good reason and always has. Except June knows that there is a reason, there always has been. In some ways, June has spent her whole life trying to protect Alex from himself, watching him shove himself down behind impressive wit, gregarious personality and a charming smile in his effort to set the world aflame, despite the fact that he could have done so almost effortlessly, simply by being himself.

    Or, five times June looks after Alex and one time she realises she doesn’t need to.

    Summary

    “Do you think we should move Lou Two into the bedroom for the night?”

    “God, no.”

    TK looks over to Carlos, who’s sitting at the dining room table wearing his adorable glasses, scrolling through a recipe for baba ganoush on his iPad. He raises an eyebrow over the top of the tablet when TK makes a frustrated noise and starts pacing back through the room.

    “I just don’t want to freak them out.”

    “So you want to freak me out?”

    “Carlos! I don’t— whoa!” TK yelps when a strong arm reaches out and stops him in his tracks before he’s unceremoniously hauled down into Carlos’s lap with a huff.

    “Baby, why are you spiraling?” Carlos wraps an arm around his waist to hold him firmly in place. “This is gonna be fun, right? You’ve already met Marjan’s parents, her mom is, like, obsessed with you. What’s going on?”

    “I’m not worried about me,” TK says, taking a calming breath and adjusting himself so he’s fully facing Carlos and can put an arm around his shoulders. “I’m worried about Marj. This is the first time her parents are meeting Joe and she’s really nervous.”
