"Hmm, what's that?" Henry asks, wrapping his arms around Alex's waist, embracing him.
"I only bought this so you could take it off later." Alex says with a grin.
Henry forces himself to step back from Alex because if his hands were on him for one more second, he would've lost control and they are supposed to be meeting all of Alex's family (and Bea) at a very fancy restaurant."Right, yes," Henry says, clearly flustered, "let's get going then, hm?"
"Lead the way." Alex says, taking Henry's hand.
