I'm not sorry

Alex

His breathing is slow as he's in a deep state of sleep and I just love to admire him.

So I'll just lay here and watch him

"Stop staring it's rude" he whispers and it's causes me to jump slightly "Jesus Henry I thought you were sleeping" he smirks "I was, then I felt your big doe eyes on me" he opens his eyes and smiles

"How's your ankle?" I groan "definitely a bit more bruised after last night" he laughs into his pillow

"You poor baby we should get some ice on that" I nod and he smiles "welllll to bad I don't know where Ice is"

He sits up and looks at my ankle "could I kiss it better?" I nod and he does exactly what he asked "you're so amazing" he wiggles his eyebrows "oh trust me I know dear"

He walks over to my bathroom and comes back  with advil "for the pain" he hands me the pills and lays back down "I've got some school work to catch up on" he nods

I roll over and grab my laptop and start working

Henry gets the remote and sits on the couch in front of it- I chuckle to myself as I hear the intro to bake off

What Henry doesn't know is that I'm not doing school work, I'm actually emailing my lawyer to see what we can do about his situation with the king

Obviously I can't do much alone so I also messaged shaan, he isn't very fond of me but he cares for Henry so I know he will try to help

I get a email back

To Alex
From Shaan

I do know about these affairs that the king is making Henry engage in, most staff in palace do. I want to help Henry but I don't know if he wants help, he's scared of his grandfather and to be fair so am I. Talk to him and ask what he wants.

That wasn't much help

"Alex what are you looking so puzzled for" my eyes shoot up at him "hen can we talk?" He nods and i motion for him to come over to me and he does

"We need more to figure something out, a way to protect you" I say and he tenses up "Alex I- there's no protecting me" I frown "I can- and i will" he smirks but shakes his head "I can handle it" "no! You can't! I need to help you. You'll stay with me until we get something figured out."

He sighs

"Alex it's fine, but I must go back- or it'll get worse" I frown "stay for the weekend?" He thinks

"And let me show you around town, please?" He smiles

God I love his smile

The way his eyes crinkle and how his puffy lips get smaller to reveal his perfect teeth- he has one dimple but it's not deep

"Stop staring, yes I'll stay for the weekend" "YES!" I sit up and dance "Alex your foot" I fall back down on the bed and he laughs "where to first?" He asks

"Natural portrait gallery" he squeals "did you just squeal?" He covers how face in embarrassment "you know I love art Alex" I shake my head

"Then let's go"

We spent the day wondering around the city, our security following not so far behind. We don't stand to close, but every once in a while he will brush his hand against mine

The small things he does shows me more love then any big act any of my exs have done, especially since we're in public and both in the closet

Every once in a while a fan will come up and ask for a picture with me, Henry or both and we kindly agree. Paparazzi is everywhere but we knew they would be

"What happens if my grandfather sees me in the news papers with you" he asks quietly as we are in a restaurant "hopefully he will see our beautiful friendship" I say with a confident smile

"Yeah no, anytime I'm with a guy alone he assumes I'm getting dicked down and the first opportunity he gets I'll be surrounded by a bunch of naked women as I block them out" I frown "Henry..." he shakes his head and wipes his eyes

"Didn't mean to ruin the mood but" I stop him "but nothing, I told you I will love you and all your flaws. And I mean that"

He gives me a knowing smile

"Thank you Alex"

AN
