    Summary

    “Is it okay. That I ask her out. Since, you know, you dated her.” He pushes the tea closer to Henry as a peace offering, tries not to be offended by the choking sound at the back of his throat. Piercing blue eyes stare at Alex, so deep he feels exposed. He almost wants to run away. Wants to hide.

    “I dated her.”

    “Over Christmas. You said you were bringing her home.”

    Or, 5 times Alex can't stop thinking about Henry and 1 time he does something about it.

    Or, the one in which Alex is more into Nora's "ex" than her.

    Summary

    Alex’s love language is physical touch.

    Henry knows this—has known it from the first moment he’s met Alex, all wild curls and bright eyes and a smile that could breathe life into Henry’s little, fragile hife. He’d stuck out a hand at that first meeting, dejected when Henry didn’t even take it. Found a way to poke and prod Henry every single time they’d met after, sharp jabs hitting his shoulder and rough hits shoving him around.

    Now, Alex’s fingers are gentle as they lace around his. His arms hold him tight to his chest. His hair tickles the nape of Henry’s neck, and the couch is entirely too small for the two of them but Henry doesn’t have the heart to kick him out.

    Or, 5 times Alex clings tight to Henry and 1 time Henry finds out why.

    Summary

    “Yes, so let me get your details and I’ll come over whenever it’s convenient for you,” says the voice. It’s dark and soft at the same time, kind of...velvety...and Alex curses his brain that can’t ask a simple question but can come up with a thousand adjectives for this guy’s voice.

    “My details,” Alex repeats, while his brain is busy flipping through a list of similes that would get him fired if he ever put them into anything official. ‘Like honey...like molasses….like sunshine on a cloudy day…’ Nope, that’s a song lyric. He’d get charged with plagiarism for that one.

    Summary

    The boys are always there, grown into the cracks in her heart like weeds; before Julie even notices, they're rooted too firmly to ever part from. She can always feel them with her. Their absence is visceral, something she isn’t so much aware of as a thing she realizes in unexpected moments. It’s grown over a period of weeks, over playing together time and time again, learning their quirks and traits. The more alive the boys become to her, the… more tangible they feel.

    She never feels alone anymore.

    And she never really thinks about why... until something Flynn says pulls her world to a screeching halt.

    “Sometimes I wonder if those boys are haunting your house, or if they’re haunting you.”

     

    ( A study in grief, loneliness, and the nature of haunting. )
