Summary
Alex and Henry have been neighbors since they were eight and nine. From juice boxes and Batman costumes to sneaking in eachothers windows for sleepovers, their friendship weathers everything — loss, distance, growing pains, and the terrifying, beautiful truth of falling in love with your best friend.
This is a story of years gone by filled with movie nights that turn into love letters, of stargazing confessions and time capsules buried in backyards, of two boys who choose each other — again and again, through every version of themselves.
“I met my soulmate when I was eight years old,”
“And nothing, not an ocean, not time, not anything you’re afraid of, will ever make me let you go.”Bookmarked by benedictismybae

Summary
Alex is smart and witty and kind and clever and driven…but graceful, he is not. Several stints in the ER within one semester can confirm this unfortunate fact. The only good thing to come out of wracking up his out of pocket co-pay is the gorgeous nurse with beautiful eyes and a killer smile. Maybe breaking several bones is kinda worth it.
Basically: several times Alex was a clumsy wreck and Henry had to patch him up.

Summary
“I think we should make a pact. If we are both single when you turn 30, we should get married.” Alex says it so casually, like he’s deciding what to have for dinner tonight.
“Alex, are you mad?”
“I’m serious Hen. Why not? Come on, we already live together. We are best friends. You know everything about me, you know what you’re getting into. It’s perfect.” Alex tries to justify.
“Well, first starters, you are straight. And I am very much not female. What exactly would your plan be? Shall we have an open relationship?” Henry is only joking, trying to poke holes in Alex’s harebrained idea.
“No, of course not.”
“Alex” Henry grumbles. “Not to be crass, but… I was not intending to be celibate at 30.” His tone turns more serious, almost accusatory. “Would you have sex with me if we got married?”
“No?” It’s more of a question then a statement.
Or… Alex and Henry are best friends, Alex is straight, Henry is gay, and neither have any interest in a relationship. But Alex’s drunken ramblings may change everything between them, and help Alex learn a lot about himself.

Summary
Objectively, I am aware that you – a stranger – cannot tell me my own sexuality any better than I can, however... Can you, please? Tell me? It’s 4am and I have been thinking about this for hours, and I can’t sleep.
Warmest regards,
ACD***
