    Summary

    If there is anything Alex would change about his apartment, though, it’s the fact that he’s pretty sure his walls are made of styrofoam. Or paper. Or thinly rolled crepes. Whatever is simultaneously the thinnest and also crumbliest material apartment walls can be made out of without entirely collapsing. Every time he steps a little too firmly near where his TV is mounted to the wall, a little more plaster rains out of the screw holes like a fucked up snowglobe. That’s not the problem, though. Not right now.

    No, right now, his next door neighbor is breaking up with his boyfriend, and the boyfriend doesn’t seem to be taking it well.

    Summary

    Arthur Fox is known to the world as a director and writer of some of the most mind bending psychological thrillers and mysteries that have ever hit the silver screen. To Henry, he’s just Dad. To Henry’s family, he’s dead. But Henry doesn’t believe that – not when he finds a series of notes that lead him across the Atlantic, and into the coffee shop of Alex Claremont-Diaz, with specific instructions to find him.

    Summary

    Henry George Edward James Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor considered himself a simple man. He wanted not of much but to be left alone and to find his life’s companion. Two desires contradictory in nature, but thoroughly intertwined in his life as the Prince of England.

    Life was never simple when it came to Alexander Gabriel Claremont-Diaz.

    [or: Prince Henry stumbles across a man, badly wounded, at the edge of the Kensington property. Against his better judgement, he nurses him back to health.]

    Summary

    “Your first course,” Alex says, sliding a plate in front of him. Henry isn’t too sure where to look – the food looks great, sure, but Alex’s cheeks are slightly flushed from the heat of the kitchen and there’s the slightest bit of sweat on his neck and Henry wants to devour him.

    Alex must notice him staring, because he’s smirking as he explains, “Taragai with a saffron gelée. I hope you like seafood, because that will be the focus of tonight’s tasting menu.”

    Henry squints at his boyfriend, curious as to why he’s acting like he doesn’t know who Henry is, or like he doesn’t know that Henry loves seafood and it’s the one thing he can never seem to get right when he tries to cook it at home.

    “Thank you?” He doesn’t mean for it to come out as a question, but he’s kind of distracted, okay?

    [or: Henry loves to cook and somehow doesn't realize that Alex is a Michelin Star winning chef]

    Summary

    What no one at Luna, Okonjo, and Fox seem to recognize is Alex’s struggle. He’s twenty six, his libido is out of his personal control, and every time Alex sees Henry in a suit, the monkey that controls his horny brain howls at a fever pitch so distracting that Alex can’t think about anything else until he gets his hands on his boyfriend.

    Alex is extremely attracted to Henry and shouldn’t be expected to go for more than five minutes without having his hands on him in some capacity.

    But Henry is a good lawyer, or whatever, which means Henry has been leaving early and working late to make headway on his new case. Which means he’s all but barred Alex from his office, which means Alex goes home every night alone, beats his dick in the shower, and then cooks dinner so he can be a nice, doting partner who doesn’t have a horny monkey running his brain when Henry gets home.

    Summary

    “Happy afternoon, everyone! My name is Henry, and I’m going to be taking over for Miss Cecilia as the children's librarian.”

    Alex peeks around a bookshelf, and – Christ on a cracker.

    The man sitting on a stool in the corner of the room has legs long enough that, with the shortness of his chair, his knees almost touch his chin. He’s Prince-Charming blond, eyes so blue Alex can make them out from across the room. He’s wearing a sweater vest.

    Alex doesn’t think he’s ever seen someone so attractive in his life.

    Summary

    Alex misses his boyfriend like an army veteran misses their leg after an unfortunate landmine incident (yes, he's being dramatic again, sue him. His mother is regaling them all with her time on the campaign trail — again. He’s allowed to be a little dramatic. As a treat.) which means he can’t be held responsible for anything he says.

    "Or, okay, hear me out – you go on all fours and I do, like, a crab walk, and then we could fuck each other at the same time. Do you think that would work? Logistically?”

    Summary

    Alex feels a little bit like he might throw up. He’s already swallowed a handful of extra-strength tums, has escaped to the bathroom to box-breathe, and even started an elaborate breakfast to try and keep his hands and mind busy.

    He should feel elated. He should feel happy, and satisfied, and all mushy-gushy at the fact he woke up next to Henry this morning, got to see his bed head, and was kissed softly despite his morning breath.

    Instead, he feels a little bit like he might shake apart. Henry is lounging on his couch, scrolling through his phone while Alex hovers over the stovetop and tries not to cry.

    Summary

    Alex hasn’t heard from Henry in a few days. A year ago, he would have panicked. He would have fallen into a spiral about the whys surrounding Henry’s apparent disappearance from society. Now, though, he just swings by the convenience store after class, buys a few bottles of water and a poor American jaffa cake substitute, then takes the subway to Henry’s apartment.

    Summary

    Henry doesn’t consider himself a violent person. However, when Alex walks through the door on his 26th birthday looking like he’s just watched someone shove David through a meat grinder, Henry briefly considers if his ties to the Crown will get him off the hook for homicide.

    Summary

    “What if, after I come, you just… keep going.”

    Henry makes a confused sound. “I’ve done that plenty of times. You always come first when I fuck you. It’s only polite.”

    Alex shakes his head again. “I mean, yes. But you typically leave my dick alone. What if you just didn’t?”

    “You want me to keep jerking you off after you’ve come?” Henry asks, wanting to be absolutely certain.

    “Yes,” Alex says, fingers tightening on Henry’s wrists. He meets Henry’s gaze, pupils blown wide but eyes serious. “Maybe until I cry, preferably.”

    Summary

    “Alex, my love, why are you wearing your court suit?”

    “Because I’m courting your family?” Alex quips, but it comes out more like a question. Henry is standing outside his apartment, looking incredibly fond, but otherwise very casual. He has on jeans, for one, and a soft sweater that Alex kind of wants to rub his face against.

    “Remember when we agreed to be honest with each other?” Henry asks, pushing his way into Alex’s apartment. He makes his way directly to Alex’s bedroom, and the fact that Henry even knows where his bedroom is, the fact that he moves around Alex’s apartment like he belongs here, makes something incredibly warm settle in Alex’s chest.

    Summary

    The thing is — they’ve talked about this. They’ve talked about it a lot, Henry fucking Alex. The mechanics of it, the things they’d need to order, if that was even something either of them wanted.

    Summary

    Rolling across the bottom of the television screen, in big, bold, offensive red lettering, is the headline ARTHUR FOX DEAD AT AGE 50

    Henry broke up with him over a year ago. Alex is probably the last person he wants to hear from. Even if they’ve known each other for more than half their lives. Even if Alex used to call Arthur dad. Even if Alex is still mostly in love with him.

    Summary

    As soon as Alex sits down – this might be the most comfortable chair he’s ever sat in in his life – Henry asks, “so, Alex, what made you want to become a lawyer?”

    “Real answer, or answer I gave NYU during interviews?”

    “Real answer,” Henry says, the corner of his mouth quirking up.

    Alex grins. “I watched Legally Blonde for the first time when I was six. I’ve wanted to be a lawyer ever since.”

    “I regret to inform you that I mostly deal in civil cases, so the opportunity to prove someone guilty of murder based on hair care expertise is going to be slim to none,” Henry says, smile on his face. “If that’s more your wheelhouse, I might have to turn you over to Pez.”

    “Hair care, or criminal law?”

    “Both.”

    [or: Alex is a new associate at Luna, Okonjo, and Fox, and the way Henry looks in a suit is downright criminal]

    Summary

    Long story short, Alex simply has to be the best at anything he tries. There’s no other option.

    Hence, the porn.

    He’s been watching probably an unhealthy amount of porn in the last few weeks, but not to get off. Okay, maybe sometimes to get off, but that’s not his objective. No, he sits at his desk with his glasses on, notebook open, headphones in, and takes notes. Detailed notes. Because if he’s finally going to get his hands on Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor he’s going to be good at it, goddammit.

    Summary

    “What do you need from me, Alex?” Henry asks, voice low, draping across Alex like syrup.

    Alex swallows and shakes his head. “Nothing, I just. Wanted to complain.”

    In the back of his head, warning bells scream liar liar liar.

    But he’s been selfish enough today. He fucked up enough at work, he doesn’t also need to wreck all of Henry’s plans for tonight just because he’s feeling a little off-kilter. Alex slides off of Henry’s lap. The immediate cold he feels when he stands is almost enough to make him sit back down, to ask for something, anything, to help him break out of whatever mindset has overtaken him.

    Summary

    “Okay, but let me ask you something. What would you do if you were just Henry. Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor of nothing-ville. What would you do?”

    “Go on a date.” Alex scoffs, like that’s a ridiculous choice. Like Henry should have chosen frolicking naked in a field or mouthing off in public. Something that is truly off-limits to someone who doesn’t know how severely limited Henry is when it comes to finding someone to love.

    “Something you can’t already do, Henry. That’s the point of the game.”

    “Go on a date with someone I want to date.” Henry hopes he’s not being too obvious. He probably is. Alex is smart and also bisexual and can likely read between the lines.

    [or: Henry came out to the royal family a year ago and has been under scrutiny ever since. Alex helps him see he deserves better]

    Summary

    “What am I meant to do with this, Pez?” Henry shakes the gift receipt at the camera. “Eight week personal training course? What are you trying to say?”

    Pez lifts himself up on his elbow and scoots his sunglasses down on his nose like Henry knows what he’s trying to say, and – okay. Maybe he does. The thing is, Henry has a lot of free time on his hands. Free time that he prefers to spend in cafes, working on his next book. It just so happens that Henry's newfound favorite spot is directly across the street from a gym with large, very clean, windows. He also just so happens to have found the owner’s Instagram page and may or may not have been sending his posts to Pez with captions of varying degrees of desperation.

    [or: Alex is a personal trainer. You can fill in the rest]

    Summary

    The worst thing, Henry thinks, about being the way he is, is that it doesn't take much to ruin his day. A too-slow driver in front of him on the highway? He can’t shake it until he’s back home from work and doesn’t have to even look at a car for the next twelve hours. A sad song playing at just the wrong time? The flimsy plastic covering that he has protecting his weather-worn heart flies off and the emotions storm in. A poorly worded text from Pez that probably doesn’t mean anything and Henry is reading too much into? He’s convinced Pez hates him and likely finds him annoying until the next time Pez sends him a stupid TikTok with the caption “made me think of you.”

    He tries not to be this way. He tries to be rational, to be logical in any given situation, but sometimes even when his brain knows nothing is actually wrong, his heart won’t believe it. A black hole opens in his stomach, feasting on his fears and anxieties and refuses to go away until it’s had its fill.
