Summary
Alex likes meeting people, he likes learning about other lives and other journeys. He is an observer. Alex can tell more about a person based on their drink order and the way they say hello, than most people can after an entire evening with someone. He certainly knows a hell of a lot more about the patrons of the bar—the regulars, the travelers who are only passing through— than they will ever know about him.
“So, what’s got you visiting me tonight?” Alex asks, leaning his hip against the ice well and giving Henry his attention. He has the time tonight; although he’s pretty sure there will never be a time where he doesn’t give Henry his complete attention while he’s sitting in front of him. Refilling his own glass with water, Alex brings it to his lips, and takes a long sip.
“I actually have a proposition for you.” Henry says with an air of nonchalance one usually reserves for ordering a coffee, and for the second time since Henry’s walked in, Alex nearly chokes

Summary
Henry is scrolling through a profile—a redhead with freckles and a toothy grin that apparently made gym his personality. Alex almost wants to cry when Henry swipes right. Then, there’s the brunette he swipes left on, the Asian man with a dog he lingers before he swipes left as well, and then—
Alex drops his pen on the desk. That’s his profile.

Summary
“Seems like my liege was caught in a situation where he’d rather the ground swallow him whole.” Pez nods towards a spot to the side, and Alex follows his gaze. He spots Henry easily – a tall lighthouse of tousled blond hair – talking to a girl who is clearly into him. His expression looks perfectly polite, but he’s subtly leaning away, and he looks tense.
So, Alex makes an impulsive decision.
Whatever happens, this is going to be fun.
***
Or: Alex is so very definitely straight, so pretending to be Henry’s boyfriend to get him out of an awkward situation should just be a fun little pastime - except that he doesn't really want to stop, and he has no idea why. But maybe it's okay to not think too hard and let himself go with the flow, for once.

Summary
Henry had always been weak for a nice smile, but his was impossible to ignore.
Blame it on summer heat and a fresh flush in his cheeks. Blame it on sunset painting the outdoor bar sweltering, romantic colors. Blame it on two healthy glasses of albariño thrumming in his bloodstream, or the good music floating on the air.
Henry could blame it on anything liked if he thought long and hard about it, but that didn’t change much at the end. The core remained the same: he had been gone from the jump.
__________________________________________Henry and Alex hook up on a vacation in Spain. Henry falls a bit deeper.

Summary
“I’m glad you both see it that way,” Dr. Chen says. Then she closes her notebook and folds her hands on top of it. “I think I’m starting to get a sense of where the issues lie. The good news is that you’re both here, and you’re both willing to work on this relationship. That’s promising. Not all of the couples I see are even at that point.”
“Sorry, what?” Henry says, voicing Alex’s stuttering thoughts as well.
(After one too many fights at work, Henry and Alex are assigned mandatory reconciliation therapy by their boss. Except the therapist thinks they're there for couples therapy... and surely, a bet on who will break first makes more sense than actually correcting her, right?)
