Part 10 - Best for Us

"You're home Henry."

"You are home."

The voiced echoed over and over in his mind as it grew faint into his dreams. Henry slowly flutters his eyes opened finding him on Alex's chest. The world outside still early, he thought. It was just after dawn, the lights has yet shining into their home. He raised his head finding Alex sound asleep with his arm wrapped around Henry and David by his side cuddling next to Alex. He smiled seeing his small family printing memories in his messed up mind right now.

He sat up slowly releasing the grip from Alex arm and went to the toilet. He needed a shower, he felt his body is filled with hospital smell and he wanted to get rid of that horror. After he shower, he brushed his teeth, shaved and put on his aftershave and went to grab some clothes.

He saw Alex still asleep on the bed but already turning to his side and hugged a pillow next to him. Poor David must be crushed by Alex as he was already left from the room when Henry is in the shower.

Henry pulled the drawer but he pulled the first drawer by mistake, he saw their expensive watches, all there including his father's one. He felt his heart beating quite strongly as he took the watch in his hand. He inspected it for any damage but it was as good as it was. Alex must have done this when he got back the stolen item. Thank god for being the ex president son, the police didn't have to keep it as evidence.

He put back the watch inside the drawer and grabbed Alex's green shirt and his sweatpants before he put them on. He went out the room after planting a kiss on Alex's face and closed the door behind after he left.

He walked down the stairs one step at the time not wanting to lose his balanced and ended up back in the hospital. Although his wound is healing, but the inside will take some time to heal and every single time Henry move, he could feel twinge of pain. The doctor said it was normal so he assumed it will be gone someday.

As he reached the last step, he looked around the living room and found the mess they had yesterday. He folded the blanket and took the pillow in his hand before he placed them in their guest room. The doctor said not more than two kilos, the blanket and the pillow isn't that heavy anyway, he thought.

He closed the door of the guest bedroom and found David already stood by the back door waiting for Henry. He smiled and opened the door for David to do his business in their backyard and proceeds to make breakfast for today.

He whipped some batter and placed them on the stove and waited for the sizzle to stop before he flipped it to the other side. He also whisked some eggs in a bowl and cut some tomatoes next before mixing them altogether. He cooked the eggs next to the pancake doing two things at once feeling good about himself. If someone told him four years ago that he would be cooking for the FSOTUS, he would have them locked in the tower of London and have the trial for thinking he would be settled for this domestic crap. He smiled thinking how Alex would laughed at what he was thinking and just on cue, the sweet voice of his fiancé heard from behind him.

"What so funny?" He smiled as he leaned against the door frame of the kitchen staring at Henry behind the stove with a kitchen towel on his shoulder. He wore their cream robe with his white shirt and boxers underneath, barefooted in the kitchen. 

"Nothing, breakfast?" He asked and Alex walked closer to him wrapping his arm around his waist and planted soft kisses on Henry's temple, inhaling his shampoo and aftershave scent. "Thank god not the hospital smell." Alex mutters and Henry smiled, he turned around to face Alex still holding the spatula in his hand and collided their lips into a deep kiss.

"How are you feeling?" Alex asked and Henry nodded, "Hanging there." Alex knows this is hard for Henry to be back home but at least he is home. Henry pushed away from Alex and turned his gaze back towards the stove and asked him for a plate for the eggs. Alex took the spatula from Henry's hand and grabbed the plate from their cabinet above their head. "You sit, I'll do this." He said and Henry smiled widely at him.
