    Summary

    Henry can practically hear Alex thinking. They’re curled up in bed, Alex’s head resting on his chest, and his mind is so loud. He can hear it in the rustling of the sheets, in Alex’s hand skating up his ribcage; the anxious curl of his toes against Henry’s ankles. He’s nearly vibrating with thought.

    Henry’s hand tucks into the base of Alex’s spine. “Love,” he murmurs, ducking his chin to look down at his boyfriend. “What on earth are you thinking about?”

    -

    Or, Alex has something important on his mind.

    Summary

    It’s.

    Not a secret, exactly.

    It’s just, time fucking flies when you’re having fun and before anyone knows it you’re six months deep in a relationship that feels like its going to stand the test of time and neither you nor your boyfriend know how to sit down your friends and family and tell them the truth. And, okay, this is kind of their faults, in a way, because they had agreed to test the limits of their relationship in the privacy of their apartment and never really in front of anyone else—

    Okay, fuck, maybe it is a secret.

    Summary

    One moment, Alex was laughing at some joke Henry had made, and then the next there was a loud noise from the TV and the livestream cut out, leaving Alex alone in their dark living room. At first, Alex was sure there had just been a power cut, or some technical difficulties that caused the stream to cut out, but then the messages and BREAKING NEWS notifications started pouring in.

    BREAKING NEWS: Explosion at Prince Henry of Wales Charity Event. Casualties Unknown.

    Summary

    Alex breaks the kiss. His hand falls away.

    Henry blinks his eyes open, unsurprised. He’s panting, they both are, breathing heavily after kissing like they don’t need oxygen to live. Alex is watching him with flushed cheeks and red kissed lips, an unreadable look in his eyes.

    “Hey,” he says quietly. “Can we… Can we stop?”

    “Yeah,” Henry says immediately, anticipating the question. “Of course, love.”

    In which Henry starts a conversation and Alex realizes he's loved no matter what.

    Summary

    “You’re a law student?”

    “Yeah. What about it?”

    “Don’t you have your own library?”

    “I can’t study there,” he says, dismissive. “Too many assholes.”

    “Interesting,” Henry says dryly. “I’d think you’d feel right at home.”

     -or-

    AU where Henry is a Ph.D student, Alex is a law student, and there's a lot of flirting, boys being stupid, a fake date, misunderstandings, and sexy times to top it all off.
