airplane cuddling

Summary:

After, Henry rests his cheek on Alex’s shoulder and closes his eyes. Alex is careful to keep his body still, trying to offer Henry a comfortable place to rest. Henry might not be fully asleep when Alex presses a kiss to his head and nuzzles into his hair, but Alex doesn’t know any other way to thank Henry for being everything he needs.

Leaning into Henry’s warmth, Alex imagines what this might feel like if they were something more. With the rumble of a plane engine around them and the world thousands of miles beneath their feet, Alex pictures a different version of himself that could love someone, that could let someone love him, too.

Notes:

Once again, I come bearing art based on @theprinceandagcd's "love thorns all over this rose" - a second one from chapter 5!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Thank you so much for all the love for these pieces! I am behind on comments, but working on catching up, and I've read all of them and they've made me so happy while I work myself to death! 😀
