Summary
Henry’s gift—ensuring that it is perfect, and on time—is more important.
Alex places the order a few weeks before Christmas, paying extra for premium shipping and making absolutely certain that it would be delivered before Christmas.
On the day it arrives, Alex feigns illness so that he can go home early and intercept the package before Henry lays eyes on the original box.
He really hopes that Henry likes it. It’ll mean a lot to Alex if he does.

Summary
Alex smiles back at him, small but genuine this time. “I’ll see you around, Henry.”
Henry waves and stops halfway, awkwardly putting his hand back down. Lydia’s words ring in his head. He’s adorable. “Bye, um…?”
“Alex.”
Henry nods, thoughtful, corners of his mouth twitching a little bit wider. “Bye, Alex.”

Summary
So, here’s the thing — about a year ago, Henry had been stupid enough to say it. They’d been arguing, again, and the words had slipped out, careless and half a challenge: “So you think you can make more arrests than me?”
Henry hadn’t meant for it to stick. It was supposed to be a throwaway jab. But Alex, being Alex, had just raised an eyebrow, that damned spark lighting up his eyes like a match catching fire.
He had challenged, “And you think I can’t?”
Henry had shrugged, which was a huge mistake on his part because well, it had made Alex snark back, “I bet I can make more arrests than you in a year.”
And just like that, it had become a thing — a stupid bet between the two best detectives of the NYPD.
A story about a bet and two idiots in love.

5+1 rival co-workers
5 times Alex and Henry put a pin in it, and 1 time they circle back

Henry claims it was an accident.
Not including someone in an email chain, when the someone is Alex and the email chain is the link and deadline for submitting your department’s budget request for the next financial year, that’s fucking sabotage.
So not only did Alex miss out on the chance to request an increase in budget, which he fucking needs because his team are working incredibly long hours and he needs to hire more people and also find some ways to streamline their processes, he actually lost budget. No new staff this year, no process simplification, just a team that’s overworked and underpaid and mad at Alex about it.
And, okay, Henry did send him a Teams message — so sorry Alex, it was an accident — the day the new budgets were shared and Alex realised he’d missed a cut-off he’d never been advised of. And that was it. Didn’t offer to give Alex part of his own budget, or to loan him an extra staff member to help out. Didn’t even find him in person to fucking talk it out.

Summary
prima facie (law) adj.
based on the first impression; accepted as correct until proved otherwise
Henry dislikes Alex. That's alright, though, because Alex dislikes Henry right back.
But then Henry does something unforgivable. He's kind to Alex. And, Alex? Well, now that he's looking at all the evidence before him, he's realising that on the balance of probabilities ... Henry maybe doesn't dislike him as much as Alex initially thought.
Or - reference librarian Henry and law student Alex get off on the wrong foot. Several times. They find their way to each other eventually.
