    Summary

    Henry moves even closer, the palpable electricity between them rising. Slowly, hesitantly, the space between their lips closes. The kiss is sweet and tender when their mouths finally meet, yet charged with an undeniable melancholy. Henry's lips are soft and warm against Alex’s, and the kiss deepens slightly, full of unvoiced feelings and the poignancy of a fleeting, precious moment. Alex can feel Henry’s hand gently cradle his face, the touch soothing yet intensifying the swell of emotions inside him. For a brief eternity, time stands still, and Alex wishes desperately that his heart would stop bleeding.

    Or

    Henry almost runs over Alex with his car, drastically changing their lives' trajectory.

    Summary

    “I’m not gonna ask you what happened. I’m not gonna ask you how you’re here. I’m not gonna call anyone, I promise.” He thinks back to his house, to his bedroom door that he’s left open, and the decision is made. He can sleep on the floor for one goddamn night. “But I’m not gonna walk away either. So you can let me help you up on your feet and walk back to my place, or if you can’t I’m calling an Uber.” He brushes Henry’s hair away from his face and lowers his voice. “I’m so fucking sorry about her.”

    He doesn’t need to say the name. Henry knows, and for once, searching Alex’s face, he realizes someone else does, too.

    Henry is outed against his will and Mary kicks him out of her house. Alex finds him.

    Or, 5 times Henry discovers what it means to have a family and 1 time he lets himself realize he has one.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Jeesus! This one left a mark... As domestic abuse not only fics, but overall stories, you dont usually see the man as the victim... This one was made (sadly) perfectly, very well done, my darling, it was suffiecently heartbreaking.. but also heartmending...
