    Summary

    Alex is tired.

    It’s obvious as soon as he walks through the front door. There’s a slight crease between his brows, the hint of a few sleepless nights coloring the skin underneath his eyes, and the weight of a seemingly never-ending week bearing down on his shoulders. He was slammed with more work than he originally anticipated... Now, as he toes off his shoes and loosens the tie around his neck, he just wants Henry.

    (or: alex breaks after a long week, and henry puts him back together)

    Summary

    Alex doesn’t know if it's his tone, or something in the air, or the fact Alex is calling him when he’s just right up stairs, but he can tell Henry feels something is wrong immediately.

    “Alex, what's wrong?”

    He cringes, whether at himself or the pain, he’s not sure. “Okay, so don’t get mad.”

    “Alex–”

    “I need you to come outside.”

    He can literally hear Henry’s blood pressure rise. “Why?”

    “Okay, so like, I broke my arm.”

    “What?!”

    or; alex breaks his arm on a trampoline

    Summary

    A quiet, but emphatic “fuck me” catches Henry’s attention, but it’s the thump, slide, and contact of a heavy book with his foot that pulls him completely out of his novel. He glances down to see some sort of textbook and stoops to pick it up, fingers brushing with a strange spark as someone else reaches for it at the same time. Henry glances up to find the single most attractive man he’s ever seen.

    Summary

    Alex’s small place is merely a walk from Henry’s brownstone. A walk that they both find themselves making less and less these days, often spending days at a time exclusively at Henry’s. Alex has been living at Henry’s while he’s away. The practical reason, the one they tell their friends and siblings and bodyguards, is that someone needs to watch David. Which is objectively true, David needs to be fed and walked and cuddled, but Alex would’ve stayed at Henry’s regardless and everyone knows it. He’s too attached to the smell of Henry’s cologne on everything and Henry’s clothes hanging in the closet and Henry’s books lining the sitting room wall. He’s waiting to talk to Henry about it, but Alex wants to move in. Officially. But it has to be Henry’s decision.
