    Summary

    They’ve only been living together for two months, since Alex moved to the city for law school. Henry's Brooklyn apartment was a short commute to NYU, and the price was unbeatable, so he agreed to move in without even meeting the man in person. He was nervous, at first, to share close quarters with a stranger, but it’s worked out shockingly well; Henry is kind and considerate, and they mostly leave each other alone.

    He’s also quite obviously gorgeous, and Alex doesn’t know why there isn’t a string of men coming and going from Henry’s room at all times, or perhaps one steady man. Inexplicably, Henry seems to have been single since Alex moved in in August. 

    AKA:
    5 times Alex doesn't realize Henry's in love with him, and 1 time he gets a clue.

    Summary

    "Who the fuck said English professors could look like that? He looks like he's walked off a goddamn porno."

    "I know, babe." Nora's voice drifts over from where she's flopped into Alex's office chair. "When I tell June we're going to be late, should I say it's because you've been too busy drooling over faculty?"

    "I'm not the only one drooling." He's seen students sneaking photos of him, and overheard snippets of their conversations that were so obscene they could almost make even him blush.

    "You're the only one watching him from your office window when you're already late for dinner."

    Touché. But is it really his fault when Professor Fox is there looking like he's fallen out of some fairy tale story book with a handsome prince? The blond locks, those blue eyes which frankly he would have believed were edited if he hadn't seen them in real life, that fucking British accent that he'd caught a snippet of as he'd passed by the open door of one of his seminars.

    Summary

    As the school librarian, Henry has the wonderful task of picking out a book for story time every day. Kindergarten teacher Alex is sure the books are sending him a message. Or is he just making it all up?

    Summary

    It isn’t the first time Henry’s wished that they could be physically closer than is actually physically possible. He supposes that’s where most of his own desire typically stems from; some kind of urgent, baser instinct to be as entwined with the person he views as his other half as possible now that he's free to do so.

    But there are plenty of ways to get to that feeling without ever making Alex feel like this.

    --

    Or, yet another iteration of "I love him, with all that, because of all that. On purpose."

    Summary

    “I lied to you,” he says.

    He doesn’t clarify. He doesn’t have to.

    Alex toys with his fingers. Quiet settles over them, offset by the pattering rain.

    “I know.”

    Or, the rizcriz prompt where Alex and Henry are roommates and Henry lies when Alex confesses his feelings in order to protect their dynamic.
