    Summary

    The guy one table over from Alex won’t stop fucking shivering.

    His fellow student, wearing only a thin t-shirt and jeans, is hunched over an enormous textbook with his arms wrapped tightly around the middle of his abdomen. Alex can see goosebumps on his skin even from a distance, and his soft-looking lips are trembling so much Alex is worried they might vibrate off completely.

    It’s the middle of fucking November in New York City.

    Alex isn’t sure if he should pity the guy or ask him what the actual hell he was thinking.

    All Alex knows is that every time his teeth chatter, Alex can hear it. And every time Alex hears it, he looks over at the guy. And every time Alex looks over at the guy, he winds up staring for an ungodly amount of time because the dude is fucking hot.

    Which is, admittedly, not the best adjective for the boy shivering in the middle of a campus library at one in the morning.

    Summary

    A few claps from the small audience draw Alex’s attention up and forwards again, and—oh. Quite honestly, he's not sure what he had been expecting—a gay man in his fifties who originally started writing these stories for his kids maybe? This guy is not that. This guy is tall, and lean, and young, and when he smiles at the kids in the front row, Alex feels as if he’s being blinded, and—

    “Good evening everyone, I’m terribly sorry I’m running a few minutes late, I assure you it’s not in my nature.”

    —completely fucking British. Alex is fucked.

    Summary

    The blonde man in the James Bond suit sidles up next to Alex.

    “Hello,” the man says politely, plucking a cup from the table. And, holy shit, he’s British.

    “Listen, man,” Alex begins. “If you’re about to ask me for something shaken, not stirred, I’m gonna give you a fucking wedgie.”

    Wannabe James Bond furrows his eyebrows in confusion. He looks adorable. Alex bites on his tongue to keep from doing something embarrassing, like squealing.

    “Pardon me?”

    ***

    or: five times alex & henry spend halloween together + one time they don't.

    Summary

    Henry is scrolling through the news on his phone when Alex walks into the kitchen. “Did you tell an interviewer that you aren’t dating anyone?” he huffs when he sees Alex.

    “Um, yeah. They shouldn’t have asked!” Alex has a big grin on his face as he tries to justify his answer. “It’s in the contract they signed. No questions about my private life.”

    “Why do you enjoy antagonizing the media so much?” Henry’s tone now soft and joking.

    “Because it’s fun. It’s none of their business. Who I’m dating has nothing to do with the success of the movie or my acting prowess. And besides, it’s not a lie. I’m not ‘dating’ anyone.”

    Henry smiles and shakes his head. He loves Alex with every fiber of his being. When they got married, they promised to spend the rest of their lives together, and he has no intention of changing his mind. Even if Alex occasionally liked to stir trouble.

    Or… Alex and Henry got together long before Alex became a famous actor. Even though they prefer to keep the details of their lives together private and out of spotlight, sometimes Alex can’t control himself and has to tease the press just a little.

    Here is their story.
