    Summary

    It’s over. It’s really over, and Henry doesn’t even think he’s worth a break-up text. Yet here Alex is sobbing on his bedroom floor, his face buried in a silk kimono with HOE DAMERON embroidered across the back.

    What was it his dad had said to him in Texas, right before everything went to shit?

    Sometimes you just jump and hope it’s not a cliff.

    Well. Alex had jumped. He’d thrown himself head-first over the precipice, and discovered that it was, in fact, a cliff. A fucking big cliff, with big fucking rocks at the bottom.
    ---
    Alex never finds Henry's note; he never goes to Kensington. Mutual heartbreak and pining ensues.

    Another 'what-if they-never-got back-together-after-Texas- fic.

    Summary

    It shouldn’t be that big of a deal. Dusty windows and bare oakwood floors, a kitchen tucked into the back wall. Stairs traveling up and out of sight. Bedrooms.

    But Henry’s arms are around him, and it feels like it’s a spring afternoon in Brooklyn.

    It feels-

    Like Alex is moving in with his boyfriend, and they’ve got a home together now, and he’s starting to live for himself, not anybody else. It’s his heart spilling with the sun onto every surface, lighting the whole place up, making it sing, and-

    Alex thinly avoids slamming the moving box onto the ground, but it doesn’t matter either way, because he’s taking Henry’s face in his hands and kissing him.

    (or: the one where alex and henry make a life together.)

    Summary

    Alex squats down in front of her and takes her hands. He speaks in the slow, calm, yet mildly threatening tone of an experienced parent. “Sweetie, pick a pair of shoes. I don’t care if they’re snow boots. Just put them on so we can go.” He stands up and heads toward the doorway. “Your daddy’s gonna lose his damn mind if we don’t leave in the next two seconds,” he mutters.
