“I’m not like you. I can’t afford to be reckless. I don’t have a family who will support me. I don’t go about shoving who I am in everyone’s faces and dreaming about a career in fucking politics, so I can be more scrutinized and picked apart by the entire godforsaken world. I can love you and want you and still not want that life.
I’m allowed, all right, and it doesn’t make me a liar; it makes me a man with some infinitesimal shred of self-preservation, unlike you, and you don’t get to come here and call me a coward for it.”
Alex takes a breath. “I never said you were a coward.”

The first time it happens Henry isn’t expecting it. It’s one thing to know what Alfred is, another to so clearly see the contraptions of life he’s caged himself behind, never to act on the desires he’s so adamantly pushes down, reassuring he doesn’t feel them. And in the short amount of time he has known Alfred he's learnt that the man is nothing if not a stubborn bastard, unyielding, determined to keep control so tightly wound around himself he might snap, that Henry has accepted that this is as far as their partnership will go.
So it takes him by surprise as he blinks his eyes open the morning after Alfred had come barging in, high, out of his mind but most unsettling, scared, that had Henry opening his door, letting him close.
Alfred’s body is turned towards him, his touch fluttering lightly across his cheek as the morning light gleams through the curtains. It must be early he manages to think, the street downstairs quiet.
He keeps his face as neutral as he can, doesn’t want to spook Alfred, too intrigued by the development in the man in front of him that he only dares to breathe, his mouth parting slightly as Alfred’s fingers trail downwards, almost reverently on his skin. But Alfred doesn’t seem deterred, he seems slightly transfixed instead, and when his fingers continue its path to Henry’s lips his own hand moves by its own accord, drawn to the other man in a way he can’t quite explain as he touches the surprisingly soft beard, thumb drawing circles underneath Alfred’s eye.
