Part 19 - Reconciled

                                    

                                          



Alex woke up the next day feeling the strained on his back for sleeping on the couch. He sat up rubbing his eyes and yawned before he looked around his house finding it too - quiet. 
His thought went to Henry last night after he asked him about having children. He was quite shocked the way Henry reacted towards the question. They never talked about this before and he thought Henry loves kids. The way he's interacting with kids when they went for hospital visits and how he talked to them at the youth centre. He would never imagined Henry could be against the idea of them having kids. 
He sighed rubbing his eyes before he walked to his bedroom. He was hoping Henry would be awake by now and getting himself ready but when he walked in, he was greeted with emptiness and cold in the room. The bed was made but he knows Henry might not sleep in it last night. He shook his head before he pulled out his phone and pressed on Henry's number. 
Alex waited for the call to be connected but he was connected to the voicemail instead. He wanted to leave his message but he chose not too and turn off his phone. He hated how Henry reacted sometime and when he is avoiding Alex like this. So instead of moping around, he went to shower and get himself ready for the day. 
He knows where Henry was supposed to be but he decides not to see him right now afraid people might see them fights. But he is kind of worried that Henry is not responding to his text or his call so eventually he caved and went to the their base office here in Austin. 
As he parked his car, he noticed he didn't see Henry's parked anywhere. He walked further into the building before he was greeted with one of the residents that work with them there. "Morning sir." He called and Alex smiled. "Mr Fox is not with you today?" He asked and he stoped in the middle of the steps turning his eyes towards him. 
"What do you mean? I thought Henry is here." He says and the guy shrugs. 
"Uhm, nope, he didn't come in yet. We were gonna ask him to sign something but I guess you are here, then you can help us." Alex sighed in worry, where the hell Henry is hiding right now. But he shook it off because he need to make sure their work run smoothly. 
It was already passed five when Alex realized he needed to get home and start thinking about Henry. He had left dozens of missed calls and hundreds of text with possible death threats at him but he didn't reply to any of them. 
He sighed as he walked into their home after he parked his car in the garage. He placed his keys in the bowl and threw his shoes by the corner. He walked barefooted to the kitchen and grabbed himself a cold beer. He uncapped the bottle and took a gulped and left it on the counter for later before he headed to his bedroom. 
He pushed the door apart and turned on the light before he was startled by a figure next to the window that made him screamed. "Jesus! You fucking scare me asshole!" He yelled and Henry turned his gaze at him. "Where the fuck have you been?!" He asks and Henry turned his head back to the window. "Out." He mutters almost a whispered. 
"Well good for you then leaving your duties to me and hang around to do nothing." Alex banter taking his suits off. He could hear Henry sighed as he kept his gaze towards the view outside, hugging his knees by the window seat that he loves to do when he needs space to think. 
Alex took off his shirt after he finished with the button and threw them in the hamper leaving him in his pants. "Hen?" He called trying to get his attention. Henry hummed not bothered to turn his gaze at him. "Look, if you don't want kids then it's fine but don't shut me out like this. It's getting frustrating right now since you are the only person I can talk too in this house." He says and Henry just kept his position like a statute. "Might as well talking to the dogs better than talking to you." He rambles on.
