Fics like Shells by the Seashore

Greg looked from the shells in the sand to Alex. Alex’s enthusiasm usually blunted Greg’s general grumpiness but he was having difficulty mustering enough affection for the man for it to be effective. “Yes, I certainly see sea shells. On the seashore. Where they ought to be.” If Alex noticed his lack of excitement, he didn’t comment on it, just scooping up a handful of sand and shells and straightening. “Look, I think these are cockles,” he said, sorting through the shells in his palm before glancing expectantly up at Greg. “What do you think?” What Greg thought was that this was absolute madness. Here they were on a fucking beach in fucking Cornwall sharing a fucking holiday house along with the rest of Alex’s family, and Alex was picking up shells off the beach like this was something they did every fucking day, as if they hadn’t just woken up in the same bed while his wife and children slept in other rooms of the house. Greg was absolutely losing his mind.
