    Summary

    Henry opens his eyes, slams his thumb on the answer button and waits to hear Alex’s voice for the first time in three months, excluding the numerous interviews he’s watched of him. Only, he’s met with silence; the quiet echo of soft breathing stretching out between the ocean that separates them.

    He bites his bottom lip. “Alex?”

    There’s a soft inhale.

    “No.”

    --

    or, there's been an accident.

    Summary

    So excuse him if he passes by Henry one night, both in pajamas and on their way to their respective rooms, both about to end their day at the same time, and his pinky slightly grazes against Henry’s right hip, immediately making him stop, whip around and stutter out, “H-Hey.”

    It startles Henry—it startles Alex as well, Jesus—as he stumbles with his steps and turns around, eyebrows raised in surprise at the sudden break in peaceful silence in their apartment.

    “Hey?” he replies.

    or

    Law student Alex is incredibly touch-starved and his English Lit PhD roommate Henry is right there.

    Summary

    The bracelets are Alex’s idea—gifted a day before Henry’s set to go back to London for two weeks and attend several royal engagements. They’re not exactly stylish, nor do they really blend with Henry’s suit, but when he taps the button on the side, and watches Alex’s gaze drop down to his wrist, a surprised little smile on his face as he looks back up to catch Henry’s gaze, he finds he doesn’t care all that much, or at all.

    Or, Alex finds a way to be there for Henry when he can’t physically be there.

    Summary

    There’s no question that Henry is the love of her little brother’s life. He’s perfect for him, if June’s being honest: handsome, calm, generous, genuine. He’s even got a pretty good sense of humor underneath all of the etiquette.

    The only problem is that she’s never heard of a Henry Fox before; hadn’t even known that Alex finally figured that part of himself out; and the only problem is that she’s met him by accident in the middle of a hospital waiting room, with her brother's life in an unknown limbo on the other side.
