    Summary

    As he’s pulling out his textbook, a shadow crosses over Alex’s bag. Before he can look up, a warm, distinctly accented voice asks, “more exams?”

    “They never stop,” Alex says. He looks up at Henry, who is grinning down at him with his arms crossed over his chest. If Alex notices the way his shirt is pulled taught over his broad shoulders then that is no one’s business. Henry glances at his textbook, and Alex finds himself angling it so Henry can see better. “Criminal procedure. It’s about–”

    Henry leans one arm on the table, and his blonde hair flops down into his eyes. He’s studying the book cover like he’s the one with the exam, and this close Alex can see a tiny mole on his upper lip. “Uh… criminal… procedures.”

    The corner of Henry’s lip quirks up and – Jesus Christ. “You don’t say?”

    Summary

    Alex is balls deep in Henry’s throat when Henry opens his eyes and pulls away with a wet slurping sound.

    “Sorry, did I pull your hair too hard?” Alex garbles thickly. They’ve been drinking this evening, and too many glasses of wine at dinner have made him handsy and reckless. Well…more handsy and reckless than usual.

    “It’s not that,” Henry says, voice shot and hoarse and, wow, he was really letting Alex do a number on his soft pallet. “I was…wondering how you would feel about trying a little anal play.”

    --

    A 5+1 story in every way but name, in which Alex is introduced to the wonders of bottoming for the first time.

    Summary

    Henry's hand twitches restlessly on top of the table, and he presses his fingers firmly into the fabric. He sees Alex look in his direction via his peripheral vision, frown pulling down the corners of his lips.

    Alex reaches for his hand.

    And Henry doesn't mean to do it—it's entirely a reflex that has been hammered into the fabric of his DNA for years and is apparently reborn in the presence of the royal vultures circling around him, ready at a moment’s notice to swoop down and devour him whole.

    He yanks his hand away.

    Summary

    Henry nods understandingly, moving in a step closer, “Do you want to go home?”

    “No, it’s fine.” He clears his throat, “I’m sorry about…”

    “Justin.”

    “...Justin.” The word feels like cloth in his mouth and he swallows, “You should go find him, explain.”

    “It’s alright.” Henry brushes a cool hand against his forehead and Alex almost stumbles into the touch, “I’d rather stay here.”

    Alex’s voice is painfully small as he asks, “With me?”

    It’s enough to bring a smile to the other man’s face, “With you, Alex.”

    Alex is drunk and not jealous of the guy his roommate is flirting with. Alex is drunk and really wants Henry to pull cheesy faces with him in this photo booth. Alex is drunk and very confused when Henry says he loves him and then dips right as the camera goes off.

    Summary

    “So… Alex is bi.”

    “Y-yes, I heard,” he responds through a gulp.

    “When do you plan on making your move?” June asks, straight forward as always.

    “June! I can’t! He just came out, how can I take advantage of that? I can’t just say, “Hey Alex! Now that you’re into men, do you fancy sucking my cock?” He would have me committed! Jailed! Deported! And what if he came to his sexuality because he met someone? Oh, god.”

    “Okay, ew, I’d expect more romance.” June protests just as Bea scoffs.

    ---
    Moving 3,399 miles across the ocean with just his dog and whatever clothing he could fit in his travel bag to attend NYU behind his grandmother’s back was not one of Henry’s most sane ideas. Thankfully he meets his roommate on move-in day—one charming, inevitable, Alex Claremont-Diaz—and they slowly fall in love during their first year living together. Henry thinks it's completely unrequited, Alex thinks they’re dating the whole time.
