    Summary

    One second Alex has the perfect life. At least, as perfect as it can be. His parents rule their country with kind and gentle hearts, beloved by their people. Until one night the palace is attacked and his parents are killed. Alex finds himself taken captive and brought before the Kelderan queen and given as a gift to her youngest grandson.

    Henry is a Prince with no power. He fights to keep his heart and his morals intact while his family seems intent to watch him break. His sister, Beatrice, and best friend, Percy, are the only two people he can rely on. And then his Grandmother purchases a slave for him. He's disgusted and set on finding a way to help Alex go free but it isn't as easy as he had hoped.

    Alex and Henry strike up a tentative friendship that soon starts to turn into something more. Henry tries to keep Alex safe but he feels himself losing his heart in the process. As Alex finds himself falling for Henry he has to make a choice, love or freedom. Both are faced with a seemingly insurmountable question. Can one truly love, if one is not free?

    Summary

    He’s not sure if this is character bleed anymore. Because when he looks at Henry, it feels like he’s really falling in love. And when Henry looks back, it feels like he can really see straight through him and feels the same.

    The kisses are too sweet, and Alex has to stop himself every time from chasing Henry’s lips when the director calls cut.

    After several weeks of shooting scenes like they’re in love, Alex once again doesn’t know where Gabriel ends and where Alex begins.

     

    Or, Alex and Henry are actors playing in a movie, and the character bleed gets a little too real.

    Summary

    “But you can borrow anything of mine, okay?”

    A small hint of a smirk appears around Henry’s mouth as he eyes Alex up and down before he says, “I’d rather not look indecent at breakfast tomorrow, if I can help it.”

    “Oh, shut up!” Alex laughs, smacking Henry’s upper arm.

    ---

    A change of plans has Henry joining Alex on his trip home to Texas over Christmas. What starts of with a lost bag, ends with Alex realising he's hopelessly in love with his best friend.

    Summary

    "What on earth is a jalopy?" Pez says, looking delighted and intrigued. "It sounds like some kind of jam tart."

    "It's just a term for a shitty car," Nora says helpfully, and Pez looks mildly put out for all of a millisecond before he perks up again.

    "Car trouble, eh? I know a chap."

    Alex owns a bakery. Henry owns a garage. The twain sure shall meet.

    Summary

    “Do you happen to have some extra detergent? I totally forgot to bring mine with me, and I don’t wanna have to walk all the way back to get it.”

    Is that an American accent Henry hears? With a southern twang?

    “I–erm–”

    “I’ll pay for one of your loads in exchange,” the man adds on, a pleading tone in his voice.

    “No, you… You don’t have to do that. I do have some extra. Here,” and Henry hands the man the bottle.

    “Thank you so much! You’re a lifesaver.”

    And with that, the man walks away to wherever he’s doing his laundry, and Henry sits there stunned.

    -

    Or where Henry is a struggling insomniac who does laundry at night. Alex also does his laundry at night. Cue the romantic atmosphere.
