Spending time with Alex was like settling down on the sofa after a long day. Simple and comfortable and above all easy in a way Greg’s brain didn’t normally let things be. It was also, inevitably, too short. Their plane would land in London and the two men would make their way to baggage reclaim together and once they had their bags, they’d inevitably part ways. Alex would go back to his life in the country, to the wife and kids and band and enough responsibilities that Greg practically had a panic attack just thinking of them. And Greg would head back to his flat where he could be an absolute mess of a human in peace, barely holding it together, whatever the fuck it was, so opposite to the Greg who got to sit next to Alex and try to get him to break in increasingly absurd ways over the course of their 18th interview over a five day stretch. Five days together seemed to be all they ever got: five days of studio recordings, just enough to make the foundation of a weirdly perfect working relationship, but not enough for anything more. Not that Greg even wanted there to be an anything more, of course. He didn’t know what he wanted. Except for more time with Alex.
