    Summary

    Alex wasn’t made to be the type of person that will cook someone breakfast in the morning. Dancing around with someone he loves in his underwear isn’t something he gets to have. He’s awful at remembering anniversaries and inept at thinking of grand romantic gestures. Candlelit dinners, handmade cards, buying flowers—it’s just not what he’s built for.

    And that’s fine.

    Alex doesn't need any brave hero to save him, and he sure as hell was never meant to be anyone else's prince charming.

    That's why this—his thing with Henry—is the perfect solution.

    Summary

    Alex looks up at the wall of cheese in front of him, wide-eyed and overwhelmed.

    “Excuse me,” a polite voice next to him says, all posh and fancy. The owner of that voice could probably tell the difference between brie and camembert without needing to read the label. “You're in front of the Manchego.”

    Alex glances to his left, to match a face to the accent. It's a very nice accent, and an even nicer face, framed by dark blonde hair that swoops perfectly over his left brow.

    Hot Cheese Guy has obviously come straight from work, some kind of office job judging by his tie and button-up, but he’s shed a layer of uptight rigidity somewhere along his commute. The top button is undone, the tie knot loosened around his Adam's apple, and his cufflinks removed so he could roll his sleeves. He looks professional, but relaxed, and Alex is fucking into it.

    He sneaks a look at the contents of Hot Cheese Guy’s basket. He's got chorizo wrapped in paper from the in-store deli, cage-free eggs, this rustic olive-riddled sourdough that looks delicious, and what appears to be artisan dog food, full of vegetables and bone broth.

    ----

    Alex asks a hot stranger for help while buying cheese.

    Summary

    What if Ellen Claremont ran for President twenty years later, and FSOTUS Alex met Prince Henry on the steps at the Met Gala.

    OR, a Met Gala meet-cute.

    Summary

    Henry had been very pleased to discover that Alex and Nora were also a shoeless household, but he’d stared at the SHOES OFF, PANTS OPTIONAL mat at their door for longer than strictly advised because, well. Pants means something different where he’s from, all right, and Alex had been standing right there and the corresponding visual was not—well it wasn’t—Henry was not equipped to deal with it at the moment. Or ever, really, for that matter.

    .

    Or, Henry likes his routines, and his neighbor Alex likes to wreck them just the right amount.

    Summary

    When Alex meets Henry, the first thing he thinks is that Henry does in fact smell like a library. But like a really nice library, with a tea shop and tons of natural light, and rows upon rows of leather-bound books. Maybe one of those rolling ladders, too, with a super hot librarian on the bottom rung.

    Anyone with eyes and a nose would easily come to the same conclusion.

    .

    Or, Alex’s new roommate smells nice. Like really nice, objectively speaking.
