Lol


What annoyed him the most though, was how Henry just fucking waltzed in and was immediately appointed Head of Comms. Classic rich privileged, possible nepo-baby got a brand new leadership position created exclusively for him. It doesn’t help that Henry also just hangs out with Pez. He maintained a perfectly hollow smile around Alex like he’d rather be anywhere else. Everyone fawned over him and his bland clothes and bland conversations. Alex hated it. He wanted to get under Henry's skin to prove that he was just like the rest of them. Like Alex, not all pressed and perfect.

------------------------

6 times Alex tried to break Henry's mask of composure and indifference, and 1 time Henry let Alex in

Notes:

okay so while no promises, i have written down the outline for each chapter so i can promise that this multichap will get finished a lot faster than the other one. but also placement szn is starting for me and yall i am unprepared as fuck pls pray/manifest for me for me yall, ya girls boutta be mfkn unemployed

anyhoo, this was in part inspired by that first twisted book by ana huang, where ava (?) tries to get alex (? omg was his name alex too wtf) to show emotion, and then i put my seven sins spin on it, because alex is can be a bitter bitch and also i probably had a fever dream of alex dressed an envy in a green slutty slutty silk dress w a poison apple and a snake coiled around his arm. Wow i can never shut up, okay bye! enjoy! kudos and comments are appreciated!

Just a week ago, Henry Mountchristen-Fox had joined Okonjo Foundation’s Brooklyn LGBT Youth Centre as the Head of Communications and Fundraising.

“Hazza’s beautiful beautiful brain is our money-maker, even though one could very likely mistakenly award his hot face or pretty body that title,” Pez had said.

Henry had snorted at that, and then immediately coughed to cover it up. “We all know you could run at least half of your shelters on your wealth alone.”

“You could cover the other half just as easily using Mary’s blood money, but that would get dreadfully boring. So, henceforth that pretty face and pretty brain is incharge of running this centre.”

Alex had been annoyed by Pez insinuating that Henry could handle everything, like Alex wasn’t right there. What annoyed him the most though, was how Henry just fucking waltzed in and was immediately appointed Head of Comms. No having to climb up the corporate ladder, nothing. Classic rich privileged, possible nepo-baby got a brand new leadership position created exclusively for him. And even if he really was how brilliant Pez made him out to be, where was he till now?

It doesn’t help that Henry also just hangs out with the director. Alex more than understands wanting to be around Pez and his exuberant chatter, but it seemed like that was all Henry wanted to do. He maintained a perfectly hollow smile around Alex like he’d rather be anywhere else, and it would seem that no one else noticed or cared. Everyone fawned over him and his bland clothes and bland conversations. Everyone loved Mr. Stoic Perfect Henry-

Nora snorted.

“You think he’s perfect?” June asked with a raised eyebrow that Alex completely missed.

“Oh my god, yeah! Who does he even think he is? With his neatly ironed clothes and long legs and all silky hair without a strand out of place. The perfect goody two shoes Ken doll kinda guy.”

June looked at him with barely concealed amusement, while Nora looked like she was about to pop a vein with how hard she was trying to school her expression.

"I think you're a real doll too, babe," June turned to whisper to Nora, as she tried to bite back a laugh.

“I bet I can find out what makes him tick. I just wanna fucking get under his skin an-”

Nora burst out laughing and even June giggled through trying to glare at Nora.

“I’m- I’m sorry,” Nora wheezed. “But even you’ve gotta see how telling that sentence was.”

It took a second for what Nora meant to catch up with him. He groaned, when it finally did, “Oh my god! I don’t know why this has become a running gag for the both of you. I do not want to fuck Henry!”

“Well, if that's your final choice,” came a horribly familiar British voice from the doorway.

Alex hid his face in his hands as Nora dissolved into a laughing-coughing fit. If Alex were less mortified about Henry having heard him, he’d be a little more triumphant about how slightly less robotic than normal Henry had sounded.

“June, could I borrow you for a second? I haven’t slept enough and Hunter’s defence to my notes on his article are truly escaping me at the moment.”

“Well, since it’s Hunter, I highly doubt that you’re the issue here-”

“June, can you please take your little party out of here as soon as possible.”

"You sure? I could read out Hunter's notes to you, if you want."

"Ooh babe, do it in your sexy voice. I wanna see if your bedroom voice can distract me from Hunter's whiny bitchings."

"June!'

Henry does a little cough-laugh thing. God, even his polite little coughs are grating to Alex's ears.

"Well June, shall we?"

Alex continues grumbling until he hears the click-clack of June's heels and Henry's softly padded footsteps moving away.

He takes his head out of his hands to find Nora still smirking at him.

“God. Shut up,” he all but whined. “But you see what I mean? Not a shred of emotion in that voice. Doesn’t he ever get mad or lazy. Oh, he so seems like the exact kind of person to be super boast-y about his work. I don’t know why he pretends to ask June for help.”

Nora snorts, “What? Are you listing the seven deadly sins here?”

And- well. Alex would reply immediately to that with something biting, but what Nora said has the gears in his head turning.

“Wait, fuck. That’s not the worst thing you’ve ever said-”

“What about, I love shoving my tongue down your sister’s th-”

“The seven deadly sins. Envy, sloth, greed, wrath, gluttony, pride and lust. I can get him to crack.”

“You didn’t even react to what I said. The idea must be truly impressive. While, I’d feel bad for Henry, I do love me some good ol' fashioned spicy drama.”

Alex grins, the cogs in his head still whirring, “Oh, I’ve got something good. Wait and watch.”
