Work Text:
Henry knows that Alex doesn’t always remember to eat when he’s busy working on something for his schooling, his mom, or his side project at a small legal clinic.
This is why Henry has taken to visiting Alex on his longest days. Such as today.
He knows that Alex is in the library at the moment, so he makes a point of setting up his little picnic outside underneath their favorite tree in the courtyard. Once he sets the basket in the center, he gives David’s leash to one of his PPOs and enters the library.
There’s a hush that always seems to happen whenever Henry appears on NYU’s campus, which is slightly annoying, but always seems to alert Alex to his presence because no matter how in the zone he is, he always looks up with a soft, fond smile on his face. “Baby.”
“Hello, love,” Henry says as he reaches Alex’s table. “Think it’s time for a break?”
“For you? Always.”
Henry laces his hand with Alex’s, and they walk out to the place that he always sets up their picnics.
“Aw, baby,” Alex says as he gives him a kiss before sitting opposite him. and greeting David. “You always create the most thoughtful picnic dates for us.”
“Well, I know how to take care of my love and make sure that he’s eating while preparing to take over the world,” Henry assures him. He’s so happy to hear how much Alex loves his efforts to feed him.
Alex laughs. “You’re the best boyfriend a guy could ask for.”
Henry grins. “It’s a good thing that you never had to ask. Always yours, even before you decided to play nice with me.”
“And now, you’re mine forever.”
“Exactly what I want to be.”
“Good.”
