    Summary

    Three weeks. Henry’s known the guy three fucking weeks and now they’re getting married? And Alex is… what? Supposed to be happy for him? Play the supportive best friend like this isn’t the craziest thing he’s ever known Henry to do in almost seven years of friendship? He can’t do that. The swirling nausea in his gut because the man he’s in love with is engaged aside, it’s just – you don’t even know someone after three weeks. How did this guy charm Henry into marriage in less than a month?

    Alex isn’t even mad. He just can’t understand.

    --

    For almost ten years, since they shared a dorm room at NYU, Alex and Henry have been inseparable.

    For almost ten years, Alex has been in love with Henry.

    Seven years into their friendship, Henry throws himself into a new relationship headlong, and Alex is at a loss when he drops the news that they're engaged.

    With less than a month til Henry says his vows, Alex is running out of time.

    Summary

    “You’ll have to teach me how to do that,” Alex says when he downs the last cup, defeated and grinning all the same.

    The man smiles. “I’m sure that can be arranged.” He holds out his hand. “I’m Henry.”

    “Alex,” he says, shaking Henry’s hand, soft skin sliding over his palm. “D’you wanna get a drink, Henry?”

    Henry’s smile is answer enough.

    Or: a college AU where Alex realizes he's demisexual and Henry is just about the sweetest guy.

    Summary

    Alex peers up at Henry’s face, the familiar tenseness in his jaw and mildly disinterested eyes nowhere to be seen. Instead, Henry’s expression is open and borderline delighted, like Brie used an extra strong shot of sorcery to draw Henry in and melt the ice that he usually stays locked behind.

    Suddenly, Alex’s vague crush on an unapproachable coworker feels realer, all because he’s standing there and looking at Alex’s daughter like she hung the fucking moon. He’s treating the most important person in Alex’s life—his entire goddamn heart—as if she truly matters to him, giving her fist bumps and smiling at her and telling her she’s beautiful like her dad.

    It’s doing weird things to Alex’s chest and making his palms sweat even in the air conditioned office, and he can’t decide if he’s okay with that development or if he wants to stick his head in Brie’s Easy-Bake oven.

    Summary

    "At the White House, the decorations were extravagant and elegant, and to an extent, Alex loved those, too. There were always lights hung up on all of the trees on the lawn, sprigs of fake holly on all of the hallway tables, the biggest wreath he’d ever seen hanging on the front door. It was fun to watch them get put up, to feel the Christmas spirit creeping into the air. Sometimes, Alex thought that the decorations were a bit too stale, a bit too perfect. The Christmas before Henry first kissed him, he’d walked down the hallway on the night of the 26th and ached for the disorganized beauty of his childhood Christmas decorations, wishing he could fight with June one more time over who got to put on the tree topper.

    So, when Henry had asked him if he wanted to do anything special for their first Christmas living together, he’d blurted out that he wanted to decorate the entire brownstone without hesitation. He isn’t sure exactly what it’ll wind up looking like, maybe some wonderful assortment of the two of them – Henry’s quiet grace and Alex’s chaotic energy."
