    Summary

    Henry is a boring person.

    This is an objective fact. It’s been such a constant in his life that it hardly bothers him. He prefers the mundane. Thrives under routine. Tolerates many things poorly: surprise parties, capsaicin, loud noises.

    Another objective fact: Henry loves Alex. Alex is not boring at all.

    Unfortunately, everyone else in Henry’s life seems to think that a bore like him is incapable of a relationship like theirs— and, more distressingly, that this must mean that Alex simply doesn’t exist.

    Or: Five times that no one believed that Henry and Alex were an item, and one time that they all did.

    Summary

    “Miss Claremont-Diaz,” says the man, who looks like his name is probably Reginald or Bartholomew or something. He bows, and miraculously his hairpiece doesn’t fall off into June’s plate. “His Royal Highness Prince Henry wonders if you would do him the honor of accompanying him for a dance.”

    After years of rivalry, Henry executes his coup de grâce: he courts June Claremont-Diaz.

    Summary

    There’s no question that Henry is the love of her little brother’s life. He’s perfect for him, if June’s being honest: handsome, calm, generous, genuine. He’s even got a pretty good sense of humor underneath all of the etiquette.

    The only problem is that she’s never heard of a Henry Fox before; hadn’t even known that Alex finally figured that part of himself out; and the only problem is that she’s met him by accident in the middle of a hospital waiting room, with her brother's life in an unknown limbo on the other side.

    Summary

    Alex doesn’t necessarily need a job—a full course load (plus some) is more than enough to fill his time—but he hasn’t had much of a social life since starting law school, and his coffee habit could use a few extra dollars. When June tells him the restaurant is looking for help, particularly on their Thursday Spaghetti Special night, he halfheartedly agrees. Everything that happens thereafter is technically her fault, a fact he likes pointing out any time she tries to yell at him for something, like serving uncooked garlic bread, or accidentally making a grown man cry, or breaking public indecency laws.

    Or:

    Alex works at an Italian restaurant and is very bad at it. Henry is a customer and doesn’t seem to mind.

    Summary

    After such a long day Alex could really use an Advil, a hot shower, even hotter food, some cozy pajamas, and maybe a movie or two on low volume until he slips into bed early for some much needed sleep.

    And the absolute last thing he needs to see is Henry, his roommate and best friend of three years, stark naked in the middle of their living room floor on his knees, cheeks flushed and tied from shoulders to thighs with some kind of elaborate, kinky rope-thing.

    “Fucking shit, Henry. What the fuck?”

    [or, five times henry kind-of sort-of doms alex on accident and one time he definitely does it on purpose]
