    Summary

    "Dance with me?" Alex asks, holding out a large hand to Henry. His palm is up, ready to take Henry's in it.

    That very palm is one that Henry is oh-so familiar with. It's the palm that finds itself on the dip of Henry's hip when they lean closer together, the palm that cups Henry's cheek when they kiss. It's the palm that places itself on his chest as it pushes him down until the breath is knocked out of him, half by the impact of his back on the bed and half by the feeling of Alex's lips that often find his own not a minute later. He's traced the ridges of that palm, the slopes of its dips and curves, and drawn on the lines that June swears reveal Alex's nature. It's the palm that holds Henry's own, the one he kisses as Alex spoons him, the one that holds Henry's heart.

    It's just his hand, but there isn't any universe in which Henry wouldn't take it.

    "I thought you'd never ask."

    Love, Henry has found, is at its strongest on a mundane Thursday night.
