alex's first trip to london is exciting in many ways --- he'd never left texas before, let alone the united states; henry lives somewhere in london ( he'd established that a long time ago ); this class trip is a reward for excellent grades and behaviour ( and both his parents had said they were proud of him ). but most of all, henry's somewhere in london and it was feasible that they could arrange to meet up somewhere.

have you ever been to buckingham palace? he scribbles on his wrist, the remnants of their conversation from the first day of the class trip barely visible on his palm.

there's a little curl of anxiety in his gut over that, actually - henry hadn't written their customary goodnight i love you that night, or any night since. they haven't gone so long without scribbling or texting or sending a voice note since alex had fallen out of that tree at the playground and ended up with his arm in a cast, so this was unprecedented, and alex doesn't really know how he feels about it despite the looming devastation that his penpal - to whom he's supposed to be intrinsically, universally linked with - might not want to know him any more.

we're going on a tour today and i can't wait. he continues anyway, the bumping of the bus making his writing even messier than usual. i want to try and count all the bedrooms.

another moment later; do you think the queen will be there? another; can you imagine having to vacuum buckingham palace? another; we're getting yelled at for being too loud but it's so funny another; it's our last day here tomorrow. we could still meet up if you want to?

and a little later, the bitter taste of abandonment and disappointment on his tongue, scribbled out and scrawled over when everything turned to sadness later in the hotel; are you mad at me? did i say something wrong? you haven't written back the whole time we've been here. you could've just said you didn't want to know about the trip or any of it.

his last act of communication before he finally falls asleep just before dawn is to trace over the little heart that's practically tattooed on the very edge of his palm, near the thumb joint, and pray that this is all a misunderstanding.

acts of service prompts

⇴ person a is lying in bed but has to get up and get their computer for work. while hearing person a complain, person b gets up and grabs the computer for person a (midrant).

⇴ "let me pay you back." "no." "no? why?" "because i love you."

⇴ person a is slumped asf and their head is in an uncomfortable position on their pillow. person b gently lifts person a's head up and places it comfortably on person b's shoulder/bicep.

⇴ person b is not very vocal about how they love, so they tend to show person a that they love them with actions. person b always covers the corner of the table, walks on the side of the sidewalk, and puts a hand over person a's head when there's rain (and no umbrella).

⇴ "shit, i forgot to grab an umbrella. i didn't know it was raining" (sad face). "it's okay" (grabs jacket and puts it over a or puts a hand over a's head while running through the rain together)

⇴ grocery shopping but person b is putting everything in the bags in specific categories based on different factors so person a doesn't have stress about where anything is placed (just me?)

⇴ person b finishes up a project for person a because person a is on the verge of collapse ("when did i finish this??" and person b is just like "last night")

⇴ person a knowing that person b doesn't take care of themselves, so person a comes over to person b's house and brings them a care box. it's filled with all their favorite snacks/drinks (bonus points if person b didn't tell them what their favorites were, person a just knew).

⇴ "if you need anything, don't even hesitate to ask."

⇴ "are you kidding? you thought you needed to ask?" (percabeth anyone??)

⇴ person a & b are sitting around together, until b notices that a is shivering. they get up and sprint towards their shared room, grabbing a blanket and wrapping a in it.

⇴ ^^ "get in here too" with a cheeky cute smile that b cannot help but swoon over. it's like their heart is about to rupture out of their chest after looking at a's smile. they feel a grin break across their face as they snuggle up to a.

⇴ person a always drives around person b, even if it's inconvenient for their schedule. to person a, they'd rather take the long road and get to do something for b.

that wasn't fair of me to say to you.

i'm sorry i upset you.

i know everything about you.

maybe we should go someplace fun.

will you be in my wedding?

Sneaking out with no PPOs in the middle of the night had definitely been one of their stupider ideas, now that Henry thinks about it --- but it had seemed so fun in the moment, and having time alone with Alex had been a rarity recently. "I... wouldn't know," Henry admitted, sounded a little lost as he regards the car they'd been travelling in only moments ago. The anxieties, the worries, are already beginning to bubble their way to the surface of his skin, but folding himself into Alex's embrace holds them at bay for the moment.

The best ending to this fiasco is a stern lecture from their respective handlers. The worst case... well, Henry thinks that his worst-cases are sometimes a bit out there, but he had been warned about extreme scenarios as he grew up ( he's hardly likely to be kidnapped for a handsome ransom in the middle of Texas, though ). "Calling Amy will probably get us in the least amount of trouble later," he sighs, lips twisting up into an apologetic smile even as Alex kisses his jaw.

So maybe SNEAKING OUT with no PPOs in the middle of the night hadn't been their brightest idea, but Alex hadn't wanted to wake Amy, and there's usually not much to do for her on the lake house grounds anyway. "I don't think this is something we can EASILY fix," He then points out, pulling away from the car and instead closing the distance between Henry and himself, arms wrapping around the other man.

Really, Alex had only wanted to spend some time with the other man, maybe watching the stars, away from everyone else. "We could try and call Amy to pick us up," He then suggests, leaning in to press a kiss to Henry's jaw, feeling the day's stubble there. "Or...we could walk into town...call a cab from there."

The (grand)children of the country's leaders can actually get away with a lot more than 'normal' kids their age can, if only because they can whip out a massive amount of confidence when they need to. Besides --- it's New Year's Eve, and their business is just as valuable as anybody else's in this club. Nobody seems to care if they've had a couple of drinks, and Nora's been careful enough to keep an eye on their glasses to make sure that nobody's slipped them anything.

The countdown begins and she feels the excitement like the champagne bubbles in her blood, turning to catch Alex's eye as they're pushed up against each other, just before the countdown reaches its end and Alex's lips are on hers. Is it the first time they've kissed? No. Does she suspect that this means anything? Also no, but he's hot and they've grown really close over the year-long campaign trail, so she responds positively. Whatever this means, they'll untangle things later. "Happy new year, Alex."

send “🎲” (or "dice") for me to randomize the following settings // a crowded nightclub on new years eve, the countdown to midnight is just about to start - ( Nora ) @leschanceux

Alex is technically NOT old enough to be here, and neither is Nora. They shouldn't have been drinking either, but there's a lot that's suddenly possible when your mother has just become president and you suddenly have access to the VIP room in a club that's packed with people awaiting the new year.

He feels himself being moved around, pressing up against Nora as the people around them begin to count down, and Alex is grinning, positively BUZZED from the champagne as the clock strikes midnight. There's cheering and laughter and Alex feels HAPPY and free, and so he just does what feels right, which is to bend down, pulling Nora into a kiss.

"There's every need," June mumbles tiredly, head resting back against her pillow as her little finger finds Alex's, hooks around it. It's about as much effort as she can give at the moment, but it's something, at least --- almost an apology for freaking him out.

"Can you text Dad too?" She knows Oscar's too far away to come as fast as she'd like, but he'd sat with her through her last couple of reactions, and it was still comforting to know that at least one of their parents might show up before she's discharged. "All I really want right now is a popsicle. Think you can find one of those for me, Lil' Bit?"

"Hey, NO NEED to be mean to me!" He grins, feeling some of that tension melting from his shoulders now that he can see her up and awake, and also teasing him. It means she's going to be okay, and Alex can worry a little less, at least for now.

"I'll text her," He pulls out his phone and sends a quick text to their friend to let her know June's doing okay, and that she wants visitors. Nora sends back a thumbs up, though Alex knows she's JUST as relieved as he is. "You want anything? Something to drink? Food? They said you can eat just fine as long as the swelling's gone."

It's never good when Alex goes quiet --- it's downright terrifying, in fact, especially right now with a potential medical emergency looming on the horizon. "Alex." God, is he going to collapse? Is she going to have to shout for help? She's not as prone to spiralling like Alex, but when it happens, it usually happens to involve her little brother. "Sit down," she instructs, suddenly deciding that it'll be safer - if he does pass out without warning - if he's already closer to the ground, "---just sit down, alright? Alex?"

He's UPSETTING her, so Alex just...shuts his mouth and bites his tongue, which does nothing to slow down his racing heart. He thinks about how often it happens, too, and how much is too much, maybe. Nora could probably tell him, but she doesn't know. He thinks about the first time they had hooked up, how he had woken up in the middle of the night and locked himself in the bathroom, hand clasped over his mouth so she wouldn't hear him, because what if he fucked it all up? He hadn't, of course, but it hadn't changed the way he had felt in that very moment.
