Fics like They can shout at me tomorrow.

He looks Alex up and down, opens his mouth and closes it again. He glances at his equerry, who gives him a slight nod that Alex doesn’t even try to understand. Henry looks back at Alex and juts his chin out just a little. “Are you comfortable with being touched right now?” Alex feels himself give Henry a squinty frown as he processes the implications of the question. Surely someone who’s about to kill you wouldn’t ask for permission first. Right? He looks warily at the stuffy security person and Henry’s equerry who are the only people standing still amongst the flurry of movement beyond. “Only me,” Henry says, drawing his attention back, “Or you can say no.” Alex shrugs. In the immediate aftermath of cakegate, Alex’s anxiety takes over and he starts to shut down before they even hit the ground. Henry, who’s been halfway in love with him for years and who aches at seeing him so vulnerable, lets go of his snark and polite indifference to help him clean up and calm down with the kindness and love he deserves.
