Summary
They meet at a coffee shop.
Henry knows within their first interactions that Alex will be his absolute downfall.
For the first time in his life, Alex feels like he’s being understood completely and instantly by a stranger. Henry doesn’t seem to think of him as too much or not good enough. He gets him, he actually listens to everything he has to say, he cares. However, at the back of his mind, Alex is still afraid that Henry’s going to leave at some point, when he will finally realize, like nearly every relationship he tried to have with someone in the past, that he's not capable of handling all of him.
Henry, for his part, thinks that he’s entirely doomed if he doesn't keep Alex a safe distance away from his life and his shielded heart. It would just set him on fire. Because, he can’t possibly survive in a world where Alex, in all of his blazing and colorful light, exists near him.
The thing is though, neither Alex nor Henry seem able to stay away from each other’s orbit.
