[Don't mind Alex grinning like Henry wanting to strangle him was the single greatest compliment that he'd ever been given. Look, they were clearly mutually attracted to one another, and Alex wanted to make Henry smile that soft, genuine smile that lit up those blue eyes like the sun breaking from behind a cloud, and he also wanted to have extremely disrespectful sex with him. But he also couldn't see that changing the fact that the dynamic between them was something of a sparring match more often than not.]

That... [He wrinkled his nose.] Honestly that sucks, that you have to play pretend for the cameras. [It sucked more that The Crown which was his fucking family, pushed him into that.]

I get. Honestly, Nora kind of called it? [Nora was really the only one whose gaydar functioned at all because Alex was pretty sure she'd also figured him out way before he'd come to his own realizations.] But even if I get it, it still sucks.
