    Summary

    Alex snorts. "I can't believe your dog's anxiety is just as bad as yours."

    "Perhaps worse, I'm afraid," Henry says. "He'll adjust. We'll take care of him."

    Alex grins. "Yeah, baby," he says, standing on his tiptoes to press a kiss between Henry's eyebrows. "You and me."

    Five times Alex refers to David as Henry's dog, and one time he refers to David as their dog.

    Summary

    Henry Fox is only attending this American football game as a PR stunt. That's all it is. He's definitely not fatally attracted to the brash quarterback Alex Claremont-Diaz who had the audacity to publicly call him out for not taking his number at a concert... that would be absolutely idiotic of him.

    This fic is finally fucking completed.

    Summary

    "You've been rather quiet all evening, H," Alex muses, trailing one long finger up the expanse of Henry's neck, higher, higher, high, until it lingers over his bottom lip. Taps it with the pad a few times. "Why don't you use that pretty mouth of yours to tell me what you want then, hmm?"

    Alex is expecting Henry's lips to pucker, their typical automatic response to this action. What he is not expecting, however, is the way Henry's lips slightly part before taking his finger slowly into his mouth and sucking, never once breaking eye-contact.

    -

    Henry is bloody starving.

    Summary

    Alex starts to feel worse about how he reacted to the man earlier — he’s usually all bark and no bite, but how is the bartender supposed to know that? Alex can be snarky, but he’s never cruel.

    Allowing his lips to quirk up into a small smile, he replies “Yeah. Yeah, I’m fine. Thank you, really.”

    “Well,” he says with a smirk, “in the event that you are lying to me simply to placate our earlier interaction, my shift ends in 15 minutes. I don’t suppose you’d be willing to stick around to chat with a perfect stranger?”

    Alex’s brain stutters for a moment at his facade being so transparent that it's all he can do to stutter out a “Yeah—um, yeah. Okay, sure.” Maybe he also gets stuck on the words perfect stranger, and the immediate thought of mmmm, perfect indeed that pops up in his brain as a result. He chooses to ignore that as well.

    Summary

    Henry moves to New York City to help Pez with the opening of his new bar in the East Village. The location—fortunately for business, but unfortunately for Henry’s sanity—is directly across the street from a fire station. The sound of sirens is bad, Alex the gorgeous firefighter is worse. But when Alex helps Henry avoid a near catastrophe the night of the bar’s opening, the two form a tentative friendship that starts to develop into something more.

    Summary

    Today, though, he’s watching in delight as a massive bouquet of roses makes its way through the office, the delivery guy carefully weaving between cubicles as he heads for Nora’s desk. Last week, Nora had revealed to the office one of his embarrassing college hook up stories that involved a thong and sitting cold and shivering in a police station while he waited to be picked up. Today—today he’s sicking Nadine and Alberta on Nora as payback.

    His gaze flicks over to Nora where she’s sitting at her desk oblivious to her incoming doom, and then back to the delivery guy. Anticipation, hot and excited, bundles up in Alex’s gut as he clears the final turn of cubicles, and just as Alex is about to grin, wicked and delighted at Nora, the delivery guy makes another turns and comes to a stop at the completely wrong desk.

    And then he sets the flowers down and leaves.

    --

    or, an accidental flower delivery.

    Summary

    The words echo in his head, unbidden. The words from another life, practically another universe, shoved inside the small walls of a gilded cage, hidden in a room in London with shuttered windows and locked doors. A boy’s voice Henry still remembers ten years later, when he doesn’t quite remember what he had for lunch the day before. A boy’s voice on a phone that understood him better than every member of his family, even an ocean, a continent, three thousand miles away.

    A boy’s voice that told him in no uncertain terms that it was okay if he wasn’t okay, that allowed him to pave a path until he was.

    To open a new shelter in New York City, Henry needs to interview a host of potential lawyers to hire. He doesn't expect one of them to be the boy that saved his life ten years ago.

    Summary

    The first time it happened, it was a Tuesday.

    14 Across: Sherlock Holmes author. 3 letters.

    Well that’s easy, Arthur Conan Doyle.

    Alex raced through the rest of the crossword, a fairly simple one even for a Tuesday. There was a Jane Austen clue that might have stumped him a few weeks ago, but he'd borrowed June's copy of Persuasion last time he stayed overnight at her place, so he'd have something to read on his longer commute to work that day.

    ---

    Henry Fox is a crossword creator with a very big crush.

    Summary

    “Fuck,” he swears while David barks from the doorway, his feet tip-tapping against the hardwood anxiously. “It’s okay,” Henry tells him, “really, I have it under control and there’s nothing to be concerned—.”

    The sharp trill of the smoke detector cuts him off, and David goes flying into the living room, tail tucked between his legs.

    Henry sighs and grabs his phone off the counter and quickly dials 9-1-1.

    “9-1-1,” the operator says as Henry starts after David, “What’s the nature of your emergency?”

    “I can’t be certain,” Henry begins, “but it’s entirely possible that there’s about to be a fire in my kitchen.”

     

    Or, 5 times Alex comes to Henry's rescue, +1 time Henry returns the favor.

    Summary

    Still in a frenzy, Alex grabs the thermos. Says, "thank you, baby. Fuck, I love you." He raises himself on his tip toes and presses a quick kiss on Henry's lips with a hand on the back of his neck and bolts with Pez in tow. Just before the door closes, he sees Henry standing there stunned, his fingers on his lips.

    They take a few steps until Alex just. Stops. "Pez, did I just-"

    "Tell Henry you love him? Kiss Henry without realising what you were doing? Yes," Pez says in a daze and Alex curses. Fuck, how is he going to face Henry now?

    or,
    Alex realises he's in love with Henry after playing Fuck, Marry, Kill and he does not know how to deal with it.

    Summary

    He looks so fucking gorgeous like this, eyes half-lidded as he looks at Alex. He rests his head on Alex's chest, tightening his arms. Alex can see the tips of his ears turning pink.

    "It's ! H G E J F M W C D 2 4 !" he mumbles in embarrassment, hiding his face in the crook of Alex's neck again. A beat of silence.

    Then, almost shouting in joy, Alex yells, "Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor- Claremont-Diaz! That's your fucking password?"

     

    "Shut up!" Henry hisses and Alex feels so many butterflies in his stomach that he's going to throw himself off of a cliff. Really, teenage girls with celebrity crushes have nothing on him at this moment.

    or,
    Henry is drunk and Alex is so in love he could die.

    Summary

    Henry smiles at the woman, tightening his hold over Alex's hips. He feels Henry’s fingers pressing against his skin as he pushes Alex’s t-shirt up slightly to trail his fingertips over his stomach.

    "Oh, hello," Henry says, surprised, as if he's just noticed the woman. As if he hasn't been staring at her from their booth. "Sorry, where are my manners? I'm Henry. Alex's boyfriend."

    Alex stops breathing because Henry? Henry isn't his boyfriend.

    Summary

    With shaky hands, Henry pulls out the ring from the box, looking at Alex with tearful eyes that he adores so much. Asks, "Alex, darling, will you marry me?"

    Alex lets out a watery laugh, swiping an arm across his face to get rid of the rapidly falling tears. He kneels down to cup Henry's face and brushes his thumbs across his cheekbones softly.

    "Baby. Don't you remember?" Alex whispers, leaning their foreheads together. "We're already married."

    or,
    Alex "marries" his best friend when he's six-years-old. It just takes some time for them to fall in love, but they get there.

    Summary

    “I know what you’re doing Alex,” Henry points out with a smile. “But I’m sorry, I’m not looking for a one-night-stand nor a boyfriend.

    “Like, ever or…?” Alex pouts when Henry glares at him. “Fine,” he fake sighs, a teasing smile playing on his lips. “How about friends?”

    Henry chuckles while shaking his head. The elevator dings, signaling that they’ve reached the ground floor. Alex scoffs when Henry steps out first, his legs doing their best to catch up to him.

    “What’s it gonna be, Fox?” he shouts while grinning, stopping in his tracks when he realizes it’s too late to catch Henry.

    He only hears Henry chuckle and sees him waving a hand in the air while walking out of the office building. “I’ll see you around, Alex.”

    “See you, friend!” Alex smiles smugly while watching Henry’s figure walk away.

     

    — Or, Alex meets Henry at a charity gala he attends, courtesy of the Okonjo Foundation. They hit it off right away, natural chemistry and all. Too bad Henry isn’t looking for boyfriends nor one-night-stands at the moment. (Alex is persistent, though.)
