Summary
Henry saunters toward the camera, swaying heavily, clearly very, very drunk. His shirt is half-buttoned and very translucent, and his hair is a mess, blond strands sticking up at all angles, like he’d been running his hand through it all night. He’s grinning like a madman, completely uninhibited.
“He’s so gorgeous,” Henry whines. “His arms are so thick and his abs, and he’s always touching me. I don’t know what to do with myself.”
Or, drunk Henry accidentally confesses his feelings for Alex via Instagram.

Summary
It’s not on purpose. He hasn’t been avoiding Henry. It’s just that all of their interactions have been either before school or after school, and both he and Henry have been too busy supervising students and new clubs during lunch to visit each other then.
He tells Henry all of this one day at home, wrapped up in his embrace before bed, David resting in the corner of the room. “Well, darling,” Henry says, “do you want to give them something to talk about?”
Or, Alex and Henry teach at a high school. Chaos ensues.

Risotto + Melanzane + Dolce (a love story) by villiageidiot for railmedaddy

Summary
Alex doesn’t necessarily need a job—a full course load (plus some) is more than enough to fill his time—but he hasn’t had much of a social life since starting law school, and his coffee habit could use a few extra dollars. When June tells him the restaurant is looking for help, particularly on their Thursday Spaghetti Special night, he halfheartedly agrees. Everything that happens thereafter is technically her fault, a fact he likes pointing out any time she tries to yell at him for something, like serving uncooked garlic bread, or accidentally making a grown man cry, or breaking public indecency laws.
Or:
Alex works at an Italian restaurant and is very bad at it. Henry is a customer and doesn’t seem to mind.

Summary
Alex Claremont-Diaz is a star on the rise.
A wildcard up-and-coming new actor who finds himself thrust into the Hollywood limelight when he’s nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actor for his small-budget indie movie. It’s his more than he could have imagined in his wildest dreams. That is, until he discovers that also in his category is his mortal enemy: Henry Fox – generically attractive, completely boring and part of an acting dynasty that stretches back generations. In short, everything Alex hates about Hollywood.
So when a comment Alex makes about Henry in an interview goes viral, and the two find themselves thrust together through awards season, Alex can’t help but think his dream has become his worst nightmare.
Except, maybe – just maybe – Henry isn’t quite what he seems.

Summary
If you could have anything in the world, anything at all, what would it be?
Alexander Claremont-Diaz has clawed his way into Hollywood despite all the hurdles in his way, and now he's starring in his dream movie—a queer romcom adapted from one of his favorite books, Roses, Wisteria, and Royal Bluebells. However, he barely has the chance to be excited before he finds out who his costar is. The privileged, white, bigoted Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor.
The last thing Alex wants is to be associated with Henry more than he already has to, but a fateful interview and a few choice words against Henry turns him into enemy number one in Hollywood. To fix it, he has to pretend to be Henry's best friend and show the entire world his comments were nothing but friendly banter. However, as he gets inevitably tangled up in Henry's life, he realizes not everything is as it seems, and Henry might be hiding his own demons that might change everything.

Summary
The first voicemail notification sits in Henry’s inbox when he lands in London. He stares at it for a long while before quietly dismissing it and shoving his phone unceremoniously into his pocket. His phone feels like lead in his pocket the entire ride back to the palace, fingers itching to pull it out and just listen. But he’s stronger than that, isn’t he? He left, he got on the plane, he made it home without once looking back.
He had, though, contemplated the many steps it would take to turn around. Wondered if he could make it back with enough time to climb back into Alex’s bed and pretend none of this nightmare—the confession of love—had ever happened. But for every step he envisions himself taking back, three more lead him straight to Kensington Palace, because for whatever it is that he wants, there is only what he can have, and it is not a life with one Alexander Gabriel Claremont-Diaz.
--
Or, Henry actually answers one of Alex's calls.
