Summary
"Sometimes it feels like he’s hollow inside. Like someone has scooped his heart out of his chest and boxed up his laugh and taken his smile and replaced it with a fake one that isn’t his to wear. Like he’s reaching toward himself but can’t seem to capture who he is, it falls from his grasp and he ends up carved out and caved in."
Or: Henry is glaringly human and Alex is in love with him about it.
CW: in-depth discussions of mental health.

Summary
..It's much older than you and me
I'm in love, I'm alive
I belong to the stars and sky
Let's forget who we are for one night..."
- Father John Misty (Real Love Baby)OR
The one where Alex Claremont-Diaz is reminded that he does believe in love at first sight when their waiter, Henry, introduces himself. In a spur of the moment mistake or miracle (he's not sure which one it was just yet), he invites Henry to the wedding he's attending that night.
--
'Gathering his items up in a panic as Henry stands there silently, Alex is more than prepared to flee, sticking June & Nora with the bill, when Henry says the impossible. "I'd love to." Alex is certain he misheard. "Is there a dress code?"

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
“I’m just a little overstimulated,” Alex lies, and Arthur would feel worse about it if he didn’t understand why. “Do you mind?” Alex nods to the left, indicating the nook beneath the bar by Arthur’s feet where Alex has found solace many times before.
Though never quite for a reason like this.
Arthur nods anyway, silently wiping a frustrated tear off of Alex’s cheek. “Anytime, son. You know that.”
Alex bites his bottom lip, his eyes fluttering closed. “Thanks, Pops.” He exhales.

or - 5 times Arthur watches Alex deflate when Henry mingles with other men, +1 time he watches them together.
