Fics like to build a home

He loves the life they’ve made for themselves. It’s messy and busy – there’s always a cardigan of Henry’s thrown over a chair and a paperback open on the arm of the chair with the spine cracked; Alex’s notes on the dining room table, and three different loyalty cards for the coffee shop down the street on the table by the door because Alex keeps forgetting his in different pockets. His life with Henry is full of laughter and soft touches: David curled up at Alex’s side as he reads through class notes while Henry snaps a photo; Henry's arms around him when he gets in from class; the two of them bartering over whose turn it is to take David out when he needs to go out and it’s raining. It’s mundane a lot of the time – something Alex never thought he would want – but he loves it. Or, at least, he loves it when Henry is here. Which, right now, he isn’t. He hasn’t been here for five weeks. Which… like, it’s fine. It’s not a whole a thing. --- Henry goes back to England and ends up having to stay far longer than expected. But he'll always come back to Alex.
