    Summary

    The thing about sex with Henry is, it’s never the same twice. Sometimes he moves easily, caught up in the rush, and other times he’s tense and taut and wants Alex to work him loose and take him apart. Sometimes nothing gets him off faster than being talked back to, but other times they both want him to use every inch of authority in his blood, not to let Alex get there until he’s told, until he begs.

    It’s unpredictable and it’s intoxicating and it’s fun, because Alex has never met a challenge he didn’t love, and he— well, Henry is a challenge, head to toe, beginning to end.

    Or: series of snapshots of Alex and Henry’s versatile sex life throughout the years – because the more life changes, the more some things stay the same.

    A Firstprince birthday celebration collaboration.

    Summary

    Alex starts to feel worse about how he reacted to the man earlier — he’s usually all bark and no bite, but how is the bartender supposed to know that? Alex can be snarky, but he’s never cruel.

    Allowing his lips to quirk up into a small smile, he replies “Yeah. Yeah, I’m fine. Thank you, really.”

    “Well,” he says with a smirk, “in the event that you are lying to me simply to placate our earlier interaction, my shift ends in 15 minutes. I don’t suppose you’d be willing to stick around to chat with a perfect stranger?”

    Alex’s brain stutters for a moment at his facade being so transparent that it's all he can do to stutter out a “Yeah—um, yeah. Okay, sure.” Maybe he also gets stuck on the words perfect stranger, and the immediate thought of mmmm, perfect indeed that pops up in his brain as a result. He chooses to ignore that as well.

    Summary

    “Why am I even invited to the wedding?”

    “See, it’s a funny story,” Alex says quickly. “After we broke up, Nora took this new job in Upper Manhattan. So she and June live there now. And I’ve been so busy working at Luna’s new firm that I haven’t really talked to my family about anything other than the wedding. So, um. Well. They don’t know that we broke up.”

    Henry feels his fingers digging into the invitation, crumpling the paper, but he doesn’t care. “They what?”

    Alex buries his face in his hands. “I never told my family that we broke up.”

    Summary

    Henry tells Alex he's moving out as an April Fools prank, it seems harmless at the time.

    Only, Alex actually looks kind of devastated by the idea of not living together anymore.

    Summary

    “I have to say, this is all quite literal, don’t you think?”

    Alex wouldn’t know literal right now if it hit him in the head. “Huh?”

    Henry points at Alex: “Pillow Princess,” and then to himself: “Cowboy. Ready to ride and all that.”

    Alex nods dumbly. “Right.”
