    Summary

    “If I signed us up for a couple's cooking class as a date, would you be offended?”

    Henry looks up from his laptop, which is open in front of him on their kitchen island. He tilts his head, brow deeply furrowed. “Why on earth would that offend me?”

    Alex blinks. “Because you can't cook,” he explains, pursing his lips. “You… you know that, right?”

    “I can cook,” Henry says, but then he scratches behind his ear, sighing. “Some things.”

    Summary

    “I can’t do this all the time, Alex,” Henry huffs out, arms crossed from the opposite end of the couch. “I’ve been more than happy to help, and I’ve been doing so as much as I can, but we need to talk about it. It’s been…a lot for me.”

    Too much. Henry doesn’t say it directly, but it’s the undercurrent of his words.

    Two words that Alex has heard many times in his life, over and over again until they became permanently pressed into his eyelids like a brand, reminding him of his state of being every time he so much as blinks.

    Or, Henry isn't always able to give Alex the help he needs, which sends Alex into a spiral, but they'll always find a way to work things out together
