    Summary

    Alex spends the night on my sofa—I offer to let him share my bed, but he claims he’s too exhausted to move for at least ten hours—and leaves shortly after waking the next morning. (Fewer than ten hours later, might I add.)

    I’m used to it by now. To his routine. Get drunk, fool around, pass out, leave. It’s simple. Efficient. Uncomplicated.

    Well, for him.

    For him it’s just getting off. A bit of a laugh. A way to pass the time. It’s not making his entire world collapse in on itself, piece by piece. He’s not falling desperately, hopelessly, pathetically in love.


    Henry and Alex have been friends since they started university last year, but their friendship has gotten more complicated. It's all a terrible idea, of course; Henry is too in love, and Alex is... not. Right?
