Summary
At the Thanksgiving dinner - opulent, excessive and familial without being properly warm - Alex catches Henry staring at him over the green beans.
Although Henry narrows one eye at being caught, he doesn’t look away. This is new. Alex searches his face for some clue as to why Henry has chosen to fixate on him. The conversation swells around them, and for just a moment no one is paying them any attention.
He sees the fiery flash again - is it loathing, or fear? Revulsion? Disdain?
Wait.
Oh.
Oh, no...
Henry holds his gaze steadily, and nudges him silently towards his realisation.
Oh, fuck.
