Summary
Henry takes a long drink. “If it makes you feel any better, my dad's dead. He and my mum had the type of love straight from the storybooks and it got cut tragically short, so what is the point in finding something real if it's just going to hurt you?”
Alex bites back a smile and shakes his head. “How in the fuck was that supposed to make me feel better?”
He waves his hand awkwardly. “Oh, I just thought we were both sharing the trauma that impacted our romantic relationships.”
-
Henry and Alex first meet when Henry reveals their partners are cheating on them with each other.

Summary
Professional Baseball Player Eddie Diaz and Professional Football Player Evan "Buck" Buckley have been married for the past six years, not that anyone outside of their close circle of friends and family knows that. But after they're photographed together and the internet starts going wild with sleuthing and conspiracy theories about their relationship, they're forced to consider whether or not the time may be right to come out publically.
-or-
“What about your blossoming “bromance” with Dodgers pitcher Eddie Diaz?”
He barks a laugh, still on edge from the previous question, but at the mention of Diaz, he softens. “I would hardly call it blossoming.” Buckley laughs with his full body, hands clapping in front of him. “Just because the paparazzi haven’t gotten pics before doesn’t mean we just met!”
“So you’ve been friends for a while?”
“Oh yeah,” he leans back in his chair, using his hands for emphasis as he continues, “Eddie and I have known each other a looong time.” He grins, “You think I’d ask Taylor Swift if she’d make friendship bracelets for just anyone?”

Summary
“What can I get you?” Buck asks, wiping a spill on the counter, before flicking the rag back into the sink.
When there’s no immediate answer, he glances up, and finds himself staring straight into a pair of big brown eyes that look equal parts startled and lost.
Or; Buck’s a bartender at a gay bar, and Eddie’s recently out and blushes far too easily.
Buck makes him a drink that matches the pretty pink colour of his cheeks.

Summary
“You know,” Henry began, his voice casual but deliberate, “my husband has wanted you to fuck him since he was, what, nineteen?”
Rafael nearly choked on his beer. He turned to Henry, eyes wide, caught somewhere between surprise and amusement. “What?” he sputtered, a laugh threatening to escape.
Henry’s grin widened, a spark of mischief dancing in his blue eyes. “Don’t act so shocked, Rafael. You know it. He’s been crushing on you for years. The way he blushes when you’re around, the way he fumbles over his words when you get too close… he’s not exactly subtle.”
_____________________________________
"Alex Claremont-Diaz has always been a little oblivious—especially about his own feelings. But Henry’s no stranger to the signs, and he’s ready to give Alex a gift he’ll never see coming: a weekend with Rafael Luna, the one person who’s always lingered just beneath the surface of Alex’s mind. As the Texas heat rises, so does the tension, and Henry might just enjoy watching it all unfold more than he expected."

Summary
Smell is an interesting thing, as far as senses go. He learned in undergrad anatomy that it’s actually responsible in part for encoding memory, and it’s a powerful trigger for it. Alex has experienced this plenty of times; his mother’s perfume reminding him of their years in Texas, his father’s cigars. This time, with the smell of this room, Alex is hit square in the chest with the memory of short blonde strands of hair sliding between his fingers, a perfect mouth opening against his own, a smooth accent curving a dulcet voice that whispers into his ear. Alex is spinning suddenly, as though he’s in midair and falling, and the nostalgic feeling in his chest is replaced with something far more intense and less pleasant. Alex steps backwards suddenly out of the room and slams the door shut, his breath shuddering and fast, and he rakes his hands through his dark curls as he storms off down the hallway.
Alexander Claremont-Diaz returns to the White House the first day of his presidency, intent on carving a new future for America and laying the ghosts of the previous administration to rest. He stumbles on a ghost of his own, one that's never quite stopped haunting him since the summer of his mother's second campaign.

Summary
There must be another explanation. Call him a hopeless romantic, but Henry remembers Catherine and Arthur - not the pristine couple on the television, but the intangible love big enough to fill every corner of their grandiose apartments. He remembers how they’d waltz around in the kitchen when they thought no one was looking, his mother humming so very softly, only loud enough for them to hear. He remembers how his mother’s smile was never brighter than when his father made her laugh with a horrible joke. He remembers how their love felt impenetrable, stretching from the heavens to the depths of the ocean and back again, strong enough to protect those under it from all evils.
It's a childish notion. But Henry’s not ready to let it shatter.

“Listen, I was hoping maybe I could get your business card. Do you think your kids would be interested in sitting in on a rehearsal or maybe a private dance class?”
“Oh,” Henry says. “That’s incredibly kind of you. They would love that. We should have grants for things like this‒”
“Your money's no good here. I mean, pay your bus drivers but I won’t accept a cent from you,” Alex smiles.
“It’s more paying your company,” Henry teases. “Will your bosses be okay with that?”
“I can be very persuasive,” Alex whispers and it leaves goosebumps over Henry’s skin.
Trying to regain his footing, Henry says, “Uh, my email and office number are on there. You can contact either one and we can set something up.”
“And what if I wanted to set up something after office hours?” Alex asks with a glint in his eyes.

Henry was supposed to be enjoying his first fully American Thanksgiving, filled with first hand witnessing of the Turkey Horrors and strangely sweet vegetable dishes.
