Summary
"But I don't wanna dance if I'm not dancing with you."
From dutifully dancing with June at the royal wedding, to learning what dry humping to Lil Jon entails, to slow dancing in the V&A, Alex and Henry have had their moments. In the years to come, those moments still appear, and dancing becomes their forte in a million different ways.
Or, four times Alex and Henry dance as boyfriends, and the first time they dance as husbands.

Summary
“The queen wants to show that the Prince and the First Son are still deeply in love and committed to their countries.” Ellen swallows. “They want you to go on a tour of the Commonwealth together, to get the public to see those emails not as a sex scandal, but an invasion of privacy of a wholesome, loving relationship.”
“It was an invasion of privacy,” Alex says. He swallows. “Did they say what would happen if we say no?”
Ellen’s lips pinch tightly at the corners. “Then they will issue a full denial and Henry will tour the commonwealth himself.”
Alex doesn't hesitate. “Tell them we’ll do it. I’m not gonna let him do this alone."
It would kill him. Henry hates this shit. The public parading, the judgment. Having to do all of that, and deny who he is? Alex at least wants to be there, to hold his hand through it. Even if it's just as a friend.
It might kill Alex to pretend, but that’s a small price to pay to ensure Henry—his beautiful, vibrant, funny-as-hell, brilliant ex-not-quite-boyfriend—isn’t killed instead.

Summary
“Can you stand, Alex?” He can’t answer, and Henry pats his cheek a few times, trying to get him to focus. “Alex, I need to know if we can move off to the side.”
Alex tries, okay, he does. But when he moves his foot the slightest inch, it sends a wave of pain so strong through his body that his vision whites out. “Nope,” Alex answers. “New permanent shape. Shrimp-lex.”
Henry digs his phone out of his pocket, and even though he looks worried, amusement flashes across his face, and he opens his mouth. Alex realizes exactly what’s about to happen as he says, “Finally admitting you’re short, I see. All it took was an apparent traumatic health scare.”
“Traumatic health scare that I’m still experiencing by the fucking way.”
“You’re speaking very eloquently for someone supposedly in significant pain.” Henry notes.
