    Summary

    The first time Henry sees it happen, he knows instantly that it is not the first time it has ever happened. They’re sitting in the living room of the brownstone, the two of them surrounded by their favorite people in the world, a night of board games long abandoned in favor of mocking the eighth season of Game of Thrones.

    “God, don’t you have an off switch?” June groans, laughing as she chucks a piece of popcorn in Alex’s direction while he rambles passionately about the international legal implications of the Red Wedding. Nora cackles. “Whatever you do to thank Henry for putting up with you, it’s not nearly enough. Jesus, I can’t believe he put a ring on your loud mouth.”

    Or: Alex is fine. Really, he’s fine — he just wants Henry to stay, even if Alex is too much. Henry just wants his husband back.

    Summary

    “It sounds like the Alex I grew up with,” Henry tells him. He pauses, thinking if he can say it, but he holds on to the light, and tries, “The one only I got to see.”

    And Alex doesn’t leave him any room for doubt, telling him, “That Alex will always be yours.”

    Henry closes his eyes, chin quivering in the wake of new tears, grateful and pained, and even all these years later, still quietly in love.

     

    (In which Henry and Alex were children, growing up together, and Henry had always loved him, a little, a lot. And then they weren’t children anymore, and everything changed, and the memories are haunting, all-consuming, and divine.)
