Chapter Text
Alex takes a deep breath, breathing in the crisp air of a cool New York morning. He jogs happily down the road only stopping to admire some fresh tulips in the front of a small flower shop. He makes a mental note to buy some for Henry on his way back home.
He continues on the morning exercise stopping momentarily as some fans come up to him. He smiles at them as they squeal in response and ask him for a picture. “Oh my god, I cant believe it’s you” “You’re so much hotter in real life” “I heard on the news that you and prince Henry are engaged” “Oh, my gosh yesssss, When’s the wedding?” He struggles the keep a smile off his face trying not to accidentally leak any information that would most likely make it’s way to news reporters. “We haven't decided yet” he says with a flush creeping up his face.
That was a lie. The wedding was in three days, but of course they don’t need to know that.
At the corner of his eye he notices someone in black sweatpants and a matching sweatshirt with a hood covering his head and face along with a mask and a pair of dark sunglasses with a golden rim. Although most of his face isn't visible, It was obvious the man was staring right him. Alex scrunches up his face face assuming it was just a paparazzi. He says goodbye to his fans and turn around returning on his way home.
He stops at the flower shop again picking up a bouquet of fresh tulips, Henry’s favorite. Pleased with himself he continues on his jog home hoping to surprise the love of his life.
A few minutes later, he returns to the brownstone quietly opening the door in an attempt not to wake Henry. He steps in and realizes it’s too late as the smell of toast and freshly made sausages wafts into his nostrils.
“Baby?” He says quietly
A beautiful blond head pops out behind the wall separating the kitchen and the living room. “Hi, love” Henry replies, his mouth curving into a smile, “I missed you” Alex’s face lit up walking towards Henry handing him the bouquet of flower. “These’s are for you” he says wrapping his arms around him while planting soft kisses in the nook of his neck. “I didn’t think you would be up”.
“Well, I wanted to make you breakfast before you got back. Now go sit down”
Alex’s heart almost melted right out of this chest. It seems like he falls more and more in love with this man everyday.
He sits on the kitchen stool facing the gray marble island as Henry sets down a plate of sausage, eggs, baked beans and toast in front of him.
“Ohhh, An English breakfast” Alex says enthusiastically taking a bite
Henry looks at him he drew his lower lip between his teeth “What do you think?”
“mmh, fucking delicious” Alex’s moans and over exaggerates. Partly because it was delicious and partly because he knew that was the only meal Henry could make without something good terribly wrong.
“It’s so good, it makes me want to marry the fuck outta you”
Henry laughs “Just be patient a few more days love”
