    Summary

    The man doesn't even know how lucky he is to be in the same room as Henry, much less talking to him.

    Alex understands, though.

    When he talks to Henry, Alex hangs onto every word because he knows their inherent value, that they're more precious than the purest gold. When given the opportunity, he makes sure to appreciate the soft curve of Henry's lips, the sharp line of his jaw, all while listening intently to whatever Henry has decided to share with him.

    Alex gets it. He knows how sacred those moments are.

    But the difference is, Alex is in love with Henry.

    He has been for a while now.

    And that is why he's drunk.

    Summary

    “I shouldn't have any fucking complaints, okay? I know that. But I just…” Alex sniffs, and Henry wonders in horror if he's on the verge of tears. “I wish people wanted me for… more.”

    “More,” Nora repeats, sounding infinitely less antagonistic all of a sudden. “What do you mean?”

    “Not just for my body, or sex,” Alex clarifies, and there is the distinct sound of a chair creaking before he continues. “Is it too much to ask for someone to want all of me? For… For Henry to want all of me?”

    Oh, but Henry does.

    He would do anything that Alex asked, give Alex everything he has, and take whatever Alex offered without question.

    Part of Henry wants to burst through the barrier separating them, drop to his knees in front of Alex and offer up his bruised and scarred heart. The organ hasn't belonged to Henry since the moment he laid eyes on Alexander Claremont-Diaz, and Henry would give Alex all of the more he could ever want, if given permission.

    Alex should know that.

    It's Henry's fault that he doesn't.

    Summary

    Alex pauses, then says, “Truth.”

    “Interesting play,” Nora muses. “But okay. Answer this: have you ever seen Henry naked and, if so, what did you think?”

    Henry nearly chokes on his own saliva.

    Bea whines. “Could we not?”

    “Too late,” Pez points out, tilting his head at Alex. “Answer the question.”

    “It was two questions,” Alex argues, his knee bouncing. “That’s against the rules.”

    “Answer the second one then.”

    Henry looks over at June, who seems suddenly invested in their game. She meets his gaze with a twisted smile and soft eyes, like she knows.

    “I don't know if it's fair to—”

    Nora interrupts him. “Answer, Alex. That's the game.”

    Summary

    Nora isn’t wrong on either front—the man is fucking beautiful. He might be the most stunning human being Alex has ever seen.

    But he keeps brushing sand off of his ankles as if it’s personally offending him, nose wrinkled as he surveys the shoreline, bag still perched awkwardly on his shoulder.

    Alex thinks he looks a little lost, and not in the sense that he doesn’t know that he’s found himself at the beach, but more in the metaphorical sense. Something about his eyes as he looks around with a white-knuckled grip on the strap of his bag, brow pinched on his forehead, makes Alex think he needs saving.

    And, well.

    Rescuing people is literally in Alex’s job description.

    He just gets the bizarre sense that maybe he could be the person for the task.
