Summary
“If there’s anyone who knows even remotely what I’m going through right now, by God, I think it’s you,” Henry says with a tense chuckle.
Alex relaxes back into the seat a bit, feeling lighter than he has all night. He raises his glass and says, “To amicable divorces?”
A genuine laugh bursts out of Henry as he lifts his glass to cheers him.
Oh, Alex missed that laugh.
or: after getting divorced from other people, alex and henry see each other for the first time in a decade.

Summary
“See? I have no fucking filter. That’s exactly what got me into this situation. I guess the whole thing with wanting my mom to know I’m not straight got mixed up with all the frustration." Alex knows he's spiraling, panic rising the more he thinks of the snowballing effect of his lie, of the consequences that will inevitably come to bite him in the ass, but he has no idea how to stop it. "And now I have to come clean and tell her I don’t actually have a boyfriend and also explain why I lied, and if they didn’t think I was a complete mess before, this is gonna confirm it for sure.”
Henry takes hold of both his hands, fingertips stroking over his pulse points soothingly. “Alex, breathe.” He waits until Alex manages a slow, slightly shaky breath, then opens his mouth and throws him a fucking curveball. “What if you didn’t come clean?”
***
Alex is an expert at making messes, but this time he dug himself into a hole he doesn't know how to get out of, and now his family is expecting him to bring home a boyfriend that - small problem - doesn't exist. Luckily for him, Henry is willing to take the role.

Summary
“Obviously, Henry’s not willing to try it,” Alex says to the room with a shrug and a shit-eating smirk. “Can’t force someone to be collegial.”
“Christ,” Henry groans, then he’s stomping across the room and snatching one half of the oodie up, a challenge flashing in his eyes as he stares down at Alex. “A minute, was it?”
(Or, 3 times Alex and Henry were forced to share the couples oodie and 1 when they shared because they wanted to.)

Summary
Having Alex in his flat is inarguably a bloody terrible idea, but the man is, inexplicably, his soulmate - he can feel it - and he couldn’t very well stay at that dreadful bar a moment longer. So they got the bottle of wine to go, Henry left a sizeable tip, and led Alex back here because it’s close and despite every instinct to the contrary, there are some things he needs to say.
The entire issue is, Alex is the most gorgeous person Henry has seen in possibly all his life, and as much as this is never going to work, Henry would very much like it to for just the night, if nothing more.
He saw the way Alex’s nostrils had flared when they walked in. Henry is nearly certain Alex won’t smell anything here. Henry isn’t an omega. His possessions don’t carry his scent. Hardly anything does anymore.
