5+1 rival co-workers
5 times Alex and Henry put a pin in it, and 1 time they circle back
-
Henry claims it was an accident.
Not including someone in an email chain, when the someone is Alex and the email chain is the link and deadline for submitting your department’s budget request for the next financial year, that’s fucking sabotage.
So not only did Alex miss out on the chance to request an increase in budget, which he fucking needs because his team are working incredibly long hours and he needs to hire more people and also find some ways to streamline their processes, he actually lost budget. No new staff this year, no process simplification, just a team that’s overworked and underpaid and mad at Alex about it.
And, okay, Henry did send him a Teams message — so sorry Alex, it was an accident — the day the new budgets were shared and Alex realised he’d missed a cut-off he’d never been advised of. And that was it. Didn’t offer to give Alex part of his own budget, or to loan him an extra staff member to help out. Didn’t even find him in person to fucking talk it out.

Summary
"That's all of it," Alex says, standing at the bottom of the short flight of stairs. Henry nods, not a hair out of place, and Alex…
God, he loves him.
That's why he has to go. Before love stops being enough.

Summary
Henry has had three drinks when this man with glowing brown skin and a linen shirt unbuttoned too low starts towards the table. It’s a gay bar, and they’re a group of attractive people, so this isn’t the first person who’s approached them.
He’s the first one who looks like that.
Henry is staring and trying not to, and then Liam says, “Alex!” and gets up out of his seat.

Bluebonnets and Polo Mallets by chamel

Summary
“So, polo,” he says, looking Henry up and down. The contrast between their appearances—with Henry in his clean white breeches and pale blue Ariat-branded polo shirt—is stark. “That’s the one that’s like croquet on horseback, right?”
Henry is so relieved that they’re not dwelling on his accidental come-on that he can’t even be that offended. Alex delivers the barb with that same teasing smirk, and Henry is forced to laugh as he scoffs. “Not exactly.”
(As a professional polo player, rodeo is a foreign world to Henry. But when his new sponsor organises a photoshoot with a top rodeo star, he finds his life turned upside down by a bronco rider with big brown eyes and dark curls. Surely this won't become a problem...)

Summary
“I think it should be a thousand kisses.”
Pez gasps, eyes wide with delight as he places a hand over his heart. “A thousand?”
Alex’s throat is dry. “A thousand.”
“Now?” Henry looks terrified. “Or…”
“Within…” Nora glances at June, and Alex is abso-fucking-lutely going to give her shit for her acting later. “A month?”
June nods in agreement. “I think that sounds reasonable.”
Nora clicks her tongue. “If we go by 31 days, that’s 32.26 kisses per day. I think it’s doable, but still a challenge. Perfect for the game.”
“I’ve never experienced a dare that goes outside of the typical gaming period,” Henry says, his shoulder bumping into Alex’s as he curls a knee up to his chest. “How would we even keep track of such a thing?”
Nora directs a devilish, sideways grin at Alex, and the realization hits him like a goddamn freight train.
Henry didn’t say no.
