Summary
His main task that day was to water all of the plants and flowers around the palace. Alex preferred to use a fairly large, heavy watering can so he didn’t have to refill as often and could be more efficient with his time. He was in the middle of watering a significant arrangement of sweet peas, roses, orchids, and, of course, lily-of-the-valley, a royal favourite, when it happened. The edge of the can caught on one of the stems as he poured the water - rookie move, honestly. But the can was still mostly full and when he tried to maneuver to adjust, the can poured all over his chinos. Jeans were, of course, forbidden to be worn in the palace by any staff.
After the initial shock of being doused with cold water, Alex looked down, only to find that a huge wet spot was now covering his entire crotch area. "Fuck. Oh, fuck," he hissed under his breath. There was no way he could be seen in the palace like this. He’d definitely be fired out of some sort of decorum protocol.
(or, what happens when Henry stumbles upon a hot Kensington Palace florist in his foyer and he isn't wearing any pants...)
