    Summary

    “How did this even happen? Shouldn’t we be banned from even sleeping in the same building, let alone the same room?” Wilhelm helplessly asks Henry.

    “Well, as far as anyone is concerned, there’s no reason we shouldn’t be sharing a room.” Simon says, stepping into the conversation with an unenthused sigh. “Besides, it’s not like it was you in the video, right?”

    Or….

    Season two never happened, and they never got back together after winter break.

    Wilhelm and Simon end up going to the same university, have the same group of friends, and are on the same rowing team. If Wille didn’t think life was cruel before, he certainly does now. Especially when Adam, the new team captain, takes a less-than-innocent interest in Simon Eriksson.

    Summary

    Alex has lived in this apartment for a few months, and it’s fine… for the most part. The rent isn’t exactly cheap, but it has nice amenities and it’s a convenient location. But considering how much he pays every month, and how new the building is, the walls shouldn’t be this thin.

    He’s sitting at his desk on a Friday night, his laptop propped up on a stand and several empty coffee mugs around him. He taps his pen on his massive law textbook and pulls his glasses off for a brief moment to rub his eyes when he hears voices in the hallway. His unit is near the elevators so yes, he does sometimes hear people going to the elevators, but that’s fine.

    What isn’t fine is the sound of someone playing the piano at ten or eleven o’clock at night. He has no idea if it’s the unit next door, above or below him. But he does know that it’s starting to drive him crazy.

    alex's neighbour plays the piano late at night when he's studying, and he hates it. when he meets his neighbour henry, he starts to form a crush on the hot british neighbour with a cute tax attorney beagle.

    little does he know that henry's the one playing the piano.

    Summary

    “And goddamn last but not least on my Hit It and Don’t Quit It list would be the Saracens rugby player Henry Fox. That man has great depths, and he could so easily plumb my depths, if you know what I’m saying. An all-around fantastic player, but also someone who is ridiculously smart off the field. And we all know by now that everyone on this list features my mile-wide competency kink. Henry, if you are seeing this, we could play around with some balls that aren’t just in play.”

     

    Fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck.

     

    Alex has just accidentally outed himself to 6.7 million people. And according to the comments section, they seem to be all too aware.

     

    Or... Announcing your crush via viral TikTok... that's one way to get his attention ;)

    Summary

    “That’s how Alvie kisses Harry,” Alex says, squeezing Henry’s wrist. Henry’s eyes dart down to the slight red mark on Alex’s cheek. He hit Alex the last time they were together. Henry didn’t get to watch the bruise form then with Alex between his legs. “That’s why Harry wanders, but he always comes back.”

    Henry draws in a shaky breath. “Alvie’s a lucky man.”

    Alex’s eyes drop to Henry’s neck, where the diamond of his pendant hangs amid the forming marks Alex left behind. “Sure is."

    __

    Henry Fox, needing an extraction, must rely on his part-time rival, full-time problem Alex Claremont-Diaz. To get that extraction, Henry needs to pose as Alex's date for a high-stakes dinner. They get in character - and stay that way behind closed doors.
