Summary
For as long as he can remember, Henry has always hated summer.
But then, he goes on a retreat for an undecided amount of time to this little idyllic seaside town, in a lovely private cottage, to write his second novel.
But then, unexpectedly, he meets Alex during an early and hot Saturday morning in July. And, he does the one thing he promised himself he will never do to protect his own heart. He falls hopelessly head over heels in love with him over the weeks. Along the way, trough fear and pain, he slowly but surely realizes that love might not be the worst feeling in the world after all.
It might even be the thing that makes him feel whole again.

Summary
Henry tells him he’s been on a date with another guy. Alex tries to be genuinely interested and happy for him, even though heart is dropping at the bottom of his stomach when Henry informs him that maybe they will see each other again soon.
And Alex is slowly dying from the inside.
“Are you sure you’re alright?” Henry asks him while they eat dinner in front of the television with Empire Strikes Back playing in the background. “You’ve been oddly quiet this evening. And it’s your favorite movie,” he says as he points to the screen with his fork. “This is usually the part where you want to prove to me in many, argumentative ways how wrong I am about my preference for Return of the Jedi.”
Alex swallows around the words that are dangerously burning on his tongue. He wants to tell them. He wants to scream his heart out until every little noise in his head quiets down to nothing, until he feels like he can finally breathe again.
I'm scared to lose our friendship but love you, I love you so much and with all my being and it might very well burn me alive one day.
(Or, Alex is in madly love with his friend Henry and has to watch and suffer as he goes on different dates.)

Summary
“You need to tell him how you feel already. You can’t secretly pine like a Victorian maiden after one of the most handsome men on earth and never say a word to him about it.”
“I don’t want to ruin what we have,” Henry answers, but he’s not looking at Percy.
“What if you don’t though?” Pez argues behind him, in his back. “What if it’s a thing you both want but are too bloody stupid and dense to finally admit it to each other?”
“And what if it’s not? What, then? I can’t take that risk. I don’t want to lose him.”Because that’s the thing. The problem, really. Henry is head over heels in love with Alex. It’s all so easy to let his guard down and be his true, authentic self around him, he hadn’t meant for this to happen, for his stupid feelings to come in the way of their friendship. But, he’s been in love ever since he first saw Alex at the bar all those months ago, surrounded by lights and a dazzling smile that made his way straight to his chest.
From this very moment, Henry has had many more reasons as to why he’s falling hopelessly for a man he would probably never have the way he wants to.

Summary
They meet at a coffee shop.
Henry knows within their first interactions that Alex will be his absolute downfall.
For the first time in his life, Alex feels like he’s being understood completely and instantly by a stranger. Henry doesn’t seem to think of him as too much or not good enough. He gets him, he actually listens to everything he has to say, he cares. However, at the back of his mind, Alex is still afraid that Henry’s going to leave at some point, when he will finally realize, like nearly every relationship he tried to have with someone in the past, that he's not capable of handling all of him.
Henry, for his part, thinks that he’s entirely doomed if he doesn't keep Alex a safe distance away from his life and his shielded heart. It would just set him on fire. Because, he can’t possibly survive in a world where Alex, in all of his blazing and colorful light, exists near him.
The thing is though, neither Alex nor Henry seem able to stay away from each other’s orbit.

Summary
Fleeing from his family-imposed destiny and legacy, witch Henry seeks tranquillity in owning a shop which grants people what they need to reach their happiness. Peculiar occurrences follow resulting from an encounter on a drowsy night when a curly-haired effervescent man crosses his path with Henry's.
Or, "I believe my house has a crush on my crush."
Five times Henry (and Henry's house) gave Alex what he needed, and one time all Henry needed was Alex.

Summary
Alex Claremont-Diaz is twenty-seven, a lawyer burning the candle at both ends and pretending he doesn’t feel the heat. Henry Fox-Mountchristen teaches literature at NYU, keeps too many mugs of tea around, and quietly worries himself sick over his best friend.
They share an apartment, a handful of running jokes, and a rhythm that keeps time with the city that never sleeps. Between endless work hours, sleepless nights, something begins to give.
It takes one bad night, one too-late realization, and a slow walk home under streetlights for both of them to finally understand what’s been there all along.Bookmarked by aboutdemots

Summary
Henry Fox was going to marry Alex Claremont-Diaz.
This is one truly objective fact. It is not something that Henry believes, but something that he knows in his heart.
Or: 5 times Henry thinks about proposals, marriage and Alex, and the one time he acts on it (and Alex beats him to it.)

Summary
The kiss is scorching hot, unlike the cold October night. Alex’s hand cups his neck, the pressure firm, and their tongues brush slowly against each other as time becomes an abstract concept.
Alex pulls away and Henry jolts back into his surroundings, head swimming. Space grows between them and Henry stands rooted to the pavement as cars whizz past, eyes glued to Alex’s face.
A small, private smile steals across it. “Goodbye, Henry Fox.”
Henry meets Alex at his own goodbye party.
