forget-me-nots, breeze, forehead kiss - a triple drabble for @hollivens 💐

It’s a cloudless day, sky an endless cerulean as Henry walks home from the shelter. He’s holding a bouquet of blue forget-me-nots, courtesy of a delivery from Alex. Every year on this date like clockwork, he receives flower arrangements at work—some from shelter staff, a particularly colorful one from Pez, but a striking blue one always from Alex.

His eyes sting as he rounds the corner to the brownstone. It’s been years, but he isn’t ever sure what the morning will bring on this day. Maybe it’s sinking into his bed, watching his father’s movies with memories flickering behind his eyelids, faded with time. Or, it’s a day of courage, spent in the shelter or in a park, David and quiet contemplation keeping him company. 

Today, in the gentle breeze, there’s a whispered affirmation—you can do this, I believe in you, I am always with you, I’m proud of how far you’ve come. 

He wipes at his eyes before rummaging for his keys, a futile exercise—the door suddenly swings open to a beaming Alex. 

“Just in time,” Alex says, before pulling Henry in by the sleeve of his coat. “Dinner’s almost ready.”

Between the caress of his father outside and the comforting smell of Alex’s efforts inside, Henry knows—he will be okay. 

Alex carefully watches the flicker of emotions cross Henry’s face before pushing himself up on his toes to give Henry a forehead kiss, tender and sweet. He always knows, because he’s Alex, and his fidelity to Henry’s emotions knows no bounds. And isn’t that lovely? The knowledge that Henry is never alone, that no matter how the day goes, whether he’s cocooned in a blanket or braving through the workday, he always has this to come back to. A bouquet of flowers, a forehead kiss, and Alex’s cooking—home. 

wonderful as always 😞❤️

Alex loves these woods at night. Courting danger. Courting freedom. Like the two things are so different.

“Are you lost, little wolf?” The words drift to him through the trees, silver-toned and hypnotic. “There’s no full moon here tonight.”

“‘Little’?” scoffs Alex. “Wanna say that again to my face?”

The voice lets out a quiet laugh. “Oh, gladly.”

Alex blinks, and he’s there. Cheekbones carving light from shadow. Eyes piercingly-blue.

Alex had always been told vampires were all the same. Unfeeling. Inhuman.

Alex had believed it, until Henry.

Henry shifts, not-quite-reaching for him. “You shouldn’t be here.”

“So tell me to go.” Alex moves closer.

Henry looks away. “You know I wouldn’t.” When he looks back, it’s with eternity in his eyes. “I would never.”

“Baby,” Alex murmurs. “Come here.”

Henry’s face fits perfectly against the curve of Alex’s throat. He presses a kiss to the silver scar there. Alex smiles.

For all Henry’s restraint, he’s much less discreet than Alex is about where they leave their marks on each other.

Henry breathes, and Alex would trade all the full moons for this. For Henry, who is more fucking luminous to him than even the brightest moon could ever be.

this is perfect auughhhhhh
