Can I get 🤏🏻 and firstprince please? 😊
Thank you for the prompt, friend!!!! I love you silly firstprince.
"Come closer. I fucking dare you."
Henry had left Alex alone in the living room for five minutes to change into his pajamas. Five minutes. He planned to come back, and then they'd argue over what movie to watch, and either make out or fall asleep through it anyway. Was five minutes enough for him to somehow irritate his boyfriend? He pauses in the doorway, looking up from his phone.
It's not him Alex is mad at.
Alex is on the sofa — or, rather, crouched up on the arm of the sofa, brandishing a cushion with both hands. On the end closest to Henry is a rather large spider; the sort with thick legs and a furry body. It's not moving. It's just standing there, trapping Alex in a stand-off. There is hatred in Alex's eyes at a level Henry wasn't aware was even possible.
Henry coughs in an attempt to cover up the laugh that escapes him. Alex's face immediately pulls into sharper offense, even if he doesn't dare look up for a second.
"Henry, don't laugh at me!" Alex squeaks, incredulous and slightly terrified. "It's huge! Look at its legs!!! If I move, it's going to either run at me — and I'll die, H, I'll fucking die — or it'll run away and we'll have to take David and move into a hotel for a week while I get the house fumigated."
...Henry really does love this man, dramatics and all.
"...Darling, it's a spider." He replies, valiantly trying to keep his voice level and sympathetic. "We'll catch it now. Get down off of the sofa."
"No! Are you crazy!?" It's as though Henry threatened to kill Alex's entire family. The spider moves barely a few steps across the cushion, and Alex practically screeches.
Henry sighs, long-suffering, and disappears off to the kitchen to find something to catch it with. Alex begs him in two different languages not to leave him alone with the beast.
