Summary
Prompt: Strangers to Lovers AU.
Alex and Henry are strangers who accidentally win the couple costume competition at a party on Halloween.
How did strangers end up wearing the most coordinated, matching costumes? Call it faith
***
Henry has to say something back, he knows he does.
But his brain seems to have chosen this exact moment to go on vacation.
All he has to say is a simple, "yes", how hard could that possibly be?
The answer is very.
When Henry clears his throat again, takes another deep breath, and gets ready to say yes, he's suddenly hit by the realization that he's been silent for much longer than could possibly be considered socially acceptable.
Christ, I can't do this, he anxiously thinks to himself while still busy deciding on the least creepy way to break the silence and agree to the man's request for a drink.
But then the man, who had been patiently waiting with a soft smile on his face scoffs and glares at Henry, mumbling something like "dick" and walking away looking offended and disappointed.
It's then that Henry realizes to his own horror, that he'd said "Christ I can't do this", out loud.Series

!Amnesia au without a break up!
Henry wakes up after an accident with amnesia and is convinced that it's 5 years earlier. He immediately notices the wedding ring on his finger and is terrified to figure out what woman the crown ended up manipulating him into marrying. Instead his unrequited crush/dream man/one-sided mortal enemy walks in with a bouquet of flowers and a matching wedding band.
...
He's married to his long-term unrequited crush, who is supposed to hate him, and on top of that, he's openly gay? No, this can't be real. But he supposes there are worse coma-induced dreams to be stuck in than one where you're living your dream life, one that is out of reach for you in reality. Henry is so obsessed with this dream he kind of doesn't want to wake up from his coma. Because that's all this is.. right? A coma induced dream?Series

Summary
It is no secret that shitty childhood friends and his parents divorce have left Alex with abandonment issues. But the universe has got to be in an especially cruel mood today because they delivered the most beautiful man Alex has quite literally ever seen to him and then had him practically die in his arms. That's just flat-out rude. And to make it even worse the man, named Henry, is funny, a great kisser, a little bit obsessed with Alex (in a cute, non-creepy way), sarcastic, tall, has a sexy British accent, kind, and did Alex mention he's pretty? Yeah well, Alex got a little preview of what it feels like to date this Greek god of a man, but before he had even entirely processed the fact that Henry was interested in him of all people (and not just a little interested, we're talking, stared at him for 3 hours straight kind of interested), the beautiful man collapsed in his arms.
Or the one where Henry's drink gets laced at a festival and he wakes up in an ambulance with the cute guy he'd just been flirting with sitting at his side, holding his hand and looking at him with gorgeous brown eyes filled with concern. "Oh thank god you're awake sweetheart, no offense but this is kind of a terrible first date."Series

Coming out to your loving, supportive boyfriend as non-binary? Good idea
Starting the conversation with "I don't want to be your boyfriend anymore" ? Not a good idea, because that sounds like the beginning of a break up rather than a coming out.
Henry learns that the hard way
But Alex has got it all wrong, Henry is trying to tell him they want Alex to call them his partner and use gender-neutral terms and pronouns because they're coming out as non-binary to him. They're not breaking up with him when they say "I don't want to be your boyfriend anymore, it no longer feels right"Series
