    Summary

    “I can call you other names, if you’d prefer,” Alex says, putting a hand over Henry’s eyes as he sprays down his shoulders and then moves down his chest. Henry flinches slightly at the cool sensation. “Baby, sweetheart,” he lists, moving down to Henry’s abdomen and smirking when he hears Henry’s breath catch. “Best sex of my life, monster co-”

    “Alright,” Henry cuts him off, glancing skyward helplessly as Alex turns him around to get his back covered in sunscreen, too. “You really shouldn’t be allowed in public.”

    “Can’t stop me without going through all the paperwork,” Alex deadpans, snickering when Henry huffs indignantly. But Alex can see the edges of his smile, even from behind him, as he finishes rubbing the protectant into his back. “Okay, Casper, you already got your face, right?”

    Henry sighs, turning back around to face him. “Yes, dear.”

    “Good.” Alex presses a quick kiss to his lips. “Now, what do you want to do first?”

    Summary

    Sharing an apartment with Alex had seemed like a good idea at first. They’re best friends, prices in Brooklyn are absurd, and they had both been in urgent need of residence – it only made sense.

    Except for the small, tiny, teeny, barely there fact that Henry has been in love with Alex from the first moment he laid eyes on him. And the fact that Alex doesn’t know, and can never find out.

    Or, as coffeecatsme so eloquently put it: Roommates AU where Alex has insomnia and slips into Henry’s bed every night because it’s the only way he gets a good night’s sleep.

    Summary

    Henry moves to New York City to help Pez with the opening of his new bar in the East Village. The location—fortunately for business, but unfortunately for Henry’s sanity—is directly across the street from a fire station. The sound of sirens is bad, Alex the gorgeous firefighter is worse. But when Alex helps Henry avoid a near catastrophe the night of the bar’s opening, the two form a tentative friendship that starts to develop into something more.

    Summary

    'Alex chews his lip. ‘You know… okay, you know how after you kissed me, you said that you had suspicions that I might want you to? How— how did you know?’ 

    It’s not— He’s just not sure why this is suddenly a thing he’s thinking about. It’s been nearly two years since that night, but for some reason, his brain has decided that it needs an answer to the question he’s never ever thought about before.'

    ***
    Sometimes, big decisions are drawn out for months – they're agonising and drawn out things supported by mountains of lists of pros and cons. Sometimes though, they're quiet. Sometimes, they come from the gut and unfurl slowly on a Sunday morning.

    or, Alex knows that there's a lot he doesn't know, and realises that there are some things that he does.

    Summary

    When Zahra asks, “Would it make any difference at all if I told you not to see him again?”, it’s the easiest thing for Alex to categorically answer, “No.”
