    Summary

    “I think it should be a thousand kisses.”

    Pez gasps, eyes wide with delight as he places a hand over his heart. “A thousand?”

    Alex’s throat is dry. “A thousand.”

    Now?” Henry looks terrified. “Or…”

    “Within…” Nora glances at June, and Alex is abso-fucking-lutely going to give her shit for her acting later. “A month?”

    June nods in agreement. “I think that sounds reasonable.”

    Nora clicks her tongue. “If we go by 31 days, that’s 32.26 kisses per day. I think it’s doable, but still a challenge. Perfect for the game.”

    “I’ve never experienced a dare that goes outside of the typical gaming period,” Henry says, his shoulder bumping into Alex’s as he curls a knee up to his chest. “How would we even keep track of such a thing?”

    Nora directs a devilish, sideways grin at Alex, and the realization hits him like a goddamn freight train.

    Henry didn’t say no.

    Summary

    "Sighing happily, Alex focuses on the feeling of Henry’s arm around his back. The tips of Henry’s fingers are brushing featherlight up and down his spine, and Alex can feel goosebumps rising on the flesh in their wake. It’s so fucking tranquil that Alex is pretty sure he could die right now and be perfectly content with his life, except –

    'We should get married.'

    'Pardon?'

    Oh. Fuck.

    He said that out loud."

    Summary

    Alex bounces on the balls of his feet, ready to step in and wrap Henry in his arms, call him baby a million times, anything to take the hurt out of his eyes.

    And then his mom surprises him, just a little. "Oh, honey. Come here."

    Alex watches as his mother wraps her arms snugly around Henry -- Alex knows that hug, knows that Henry will be powerless to do anything other than hold her back. Henry's arms do wrap around her, and for just a moment, he tucks his forehead into Ellen's shoulder. A breath shudders out of him and his shoulders look like they curl in on themselves as he inhales again, shaky and watery.

    Summary

    “Fuck, marry, kill?” Alex suggests, mostly joking.

    Nora kicks gently at his thigh. “That could be fun.”

    “Wait, I was ki-”

    “Celebrities only or are we allowing real people?” Probably-Samantha poses.

    “Celebrities are real people, Samantha,” Pez says. Alex pushes down the rush of satisfaction that he had remembered her name correctly.

    “Non-celebrities should be fair game,” Alex insists, and Henry’s gaze meets his before quickly darting away. There’s a slight flush to his cheeks, like maybe the drink in his hand isn’t his first.

    Or second, even. Jesus, his face is pink.

    Summary

    Alex pauses, then says, “Truth.”

    “Interesting play,” Nora muses. “But okay. Answer this: have you ever seen Henry naked and, if so, what did you think?”

    Henry nearly chokes on his own saliva.

    Bea whines. “Could we not?”

    “Too late,” Pez points out, tilting his head at Alex. “Answer the question.”

    “It was two questions,” Alex argues, his knee bouncing. “That’s against the rules.”

    “Answer the second one then.”

    Henry looks over at June, who seems suddenly invested in their game. She meets his gaze with a twisted smile and soft eyes, like she knows.

    “I don't know if it's fair to—”

    Nora interrupts him. “Answer, Alex. That's the game.”
