    Summary

    Expectation and preparation are not remotely the same thing.

    That’s the thought that flashes through Henry’s mind when his phone rings, Coach Chen displayed on the screen.

    Henry had been expecting the call ever since hearing that Westbrook was smashed into his own goal at the game against Milwaukee yesterday. But he was in no way prepared for hearing the words in the light of day.

    “You’re getting called up.”

    Summary

    It’s probably-too-soft kisses stolen as they attempt to set each other to rights again, and whispered promises not to let it go so long until the next time, and knowing that they have no way to keep them. It’s a long, lingering look as Peril disappears into the crowd again, trying to commit every line of his beautiful face to memory, as if every part of him isn’t already indelibly written on Napoleon’s skin.

    It’s the fact that Napoleon is hopelessly in love with him, and he doesn’t even know his name.

    Summary

    Henry has always been Alex's professional rival; his vocational nemesis; the occupational itch he just can't seem to scratch. Years after their first interaction as junior associates, Henry is opposing counsel in a civil lawsuit that Alex is determined to win, and Alex is more than willing to get his hands dirty doing it.

    What follows is a brief tale of rivalry and irresistible attraction, with a smattering of legal work on the side.

    Summary

    Henry takes a fortifying breath and sticks his tongue out for Alex to look at.

    “Okay good, now hold it up like this,” Alex says, holding his mouth open and sticking his tongue up against the roof of his mouth. Henry copies the motion, flinching when Alex grabs his chin and tilts his head up. He hums as he looks into Henry’s mouth, nodding to himself. “Damn, you have the perfect anatomy for a piercing.”

    Henry’s not even sure if that’s a compliment, but his heart skips a beat. “Thank you.”

    --

    After losing a bet, Henry has to get a tongue piercing. Alex, the incredibly attractive piercer, gets stuck in Henry’s head in more ways than he expected.
