    Summary

    ‘Ah the joys of student living,’ Henry says, smiling at Alex. There’s something warm in his eyes too despite the cool blue colour. ‘I see you found the dress code,’ he says smoothly, giving Alex a sly smile. His voice is smooth, honeyed and rich even over the vibrations of the music.

    Alex’s brow furrows. ‘Dress code?’ 

    Henry pauses. ‘You’re wearing green, are you not?’ 

    ‘Green?’ Alex asks, looking down at his shirt and then back to Henry, in a short sleeved yellow button up shirt, then to Pez in lime green. He looks around again – two girls on the dance floor dancing together, one in a deep green velvet dress, the other in a khaki jacket; a group next to them, all in red; someone dancing in yellow dungarees. Everyone around them in one of those three colours.

    Oh, fuck. 

    ‘This is a stop light party,’ Alex says dumbly.

    Summary

    Logically, Henry should have known to expect this. He’s aware of how lacrosse works. Or, at least, he’s developed enough of an understanding of how lacrosse works through Alex. He’s seen photos of Alex in his lacrosse uniform before, and yet somehow that still doesn’t prepare him for the sight of seeing Alex actually playing lacrosse.

    ---

    Alex returns to his high school to play a charity lacrosse match. Henry joins him and sees Alex play lacrosse for the first time.

    Summary

    “Darling,” Henry says, glancing up through his eyelashes, “are you alright? Shall I drive?”

    “Oh! No, no I’m fine babe. Sorry. Sorry.” Alex puts the car into drive, glancing around him at the crowded lot.

    His heartbeat picks up as he assesses the moving parts to this drive. Other cars are weaving in and out of the lanes like it’s nothing, no big deal, like they don’t have the two most precious living beings on earth in the backseat, the way Alex does. He hears Nora’s voice in his head, rambling on about statistics- car crash rates, fatalities-

    “Alex?” Henry’s voice is more worried this time. “Is everything okay, love?”

    “Yes, sorry.” Alex clears his throat and toes his foot along the gas pedal, finally putting the car into motion.

    Summary

    Alex doesn’t ask what they’ve done.

    It doesn’t matter; they’re just jobs to him. The people he’s tasked with keeping in line, torturing, hunting, whatever you want to call it? They're just an assignment. Nothing more.

    Alex Claremont-Diaz is the guy you call when you need a job done, no matter what kind. Sometimes it’s messy, sometimes it’s not. He’s been called many things. Mercenary, bodyguard, headhunter, PI, asshole, you name it.

    Bottom line is- he gets the fucking job done.

     

    -mercenary Alex is assigned a very unusual job: guarding Henry, a royal "prisoner" for nine months-

    Summary

    “I have a proposition for you.”

    Henry tries not to think about those words in another context and ultimately fails. He schools his expression into something more civil, “Right. What is it?”

    Alex appears to be straining so hard to not roll his eyes that it’s surprising he hasn’t given himself a hernia, “Date me.”

    “Excuse -”

    “Pretend. Pretend to date me.”

    Henry Fox is certain of four key facts; he needs at least four vodka shots to be able to stomach karaoke, his best friend Pez may be the earliest cause of his inevitable demise and he is sadly, deeply in love with his next-door neighbour who hates his guts.

    The fourth is that the universe is out to get him as that is the only explanation for why said neighbour demands that they pretend to date, so he can prove to his sister that he is mature enough to be godfather to her child.

    Wait until he finds out their hotel room only has one bed.
