    Summary

    Henry Fox was going to marry Alex Claremont-Diaz.

    This is one truly objective fact. It is not something that Henry believes, but something that he knows in his heart.

    Or: 5 times Henry thinks about proposals, marriage and Alex, and the one time he acts on it (and Alex beats him to it.)

    Summary

    Alex has texted.

    Open the door. The first reads.

    I’m not ready to go. The second says.

    He stares down at the texts, then looks up at the door, and back down to the texts. You have a plane to catch, he replies.

    I’ll figure that out later. Let me in. Comes the reply.

    And Henry. Is feeling fragile and a little torn open and wanting and so he does the exact opposite of what he should do—he should tell Alex to go home because this was only a night, and they have to go back to their respective roles and expectations. They can’t just tell the rest of the world to fuck off while they get lost in each others skin.

    Summary

    The first voicemail notification sits in Henry’s inbox when he lands in London. He stares at it for a long while before quietly dismissing it and shoving his phone unceremoniously into his pocket. His phone feels like lead in his pocket the entire ride back to the palace, fingers itching to pull it out and just listen. But he’s stronger than that, isn’t he? He left, he got on the plane, he made it home without once looking back.

    He had, though, contemplated the many steps it would take to turn around. Wondered if he could make it back with enough time to climb back into Alex’s bed and pretend none of this nightmare—the confession of love—had ever happened. But for every step he envisions himself taking back, three more lead him straight to Kensington Palace, because for whatever it is that he wants, there is only what he can have, and it is not a life with one Alexander Gabriel Claremont-Diaz.

    --

    Or, Henry actually answers one of Alex's calls.
