Throughout the whole flight Henry is fast asleep while Alex is on his phone playing his game and he stops few times for food and sometimes he switched to reading Henry's favorite book which he finished countless time. He glanced over his side watching how peaceful Henry fell asleep and soon he himself, had fallen asleep beside him.

It was until the ninth hours into the flight Henry finally woke up and groaned pressing his temple with his finger and as he turned, Alex is fast asleep next to him with Shan and Phillip had their eyes closed as well.

He unbuckled his seatbelt and walked to the lavatory swaying as his head is pressing against his skull. He locked the door of the bathroom and feels like his stomach is practically reaching up to his throat. He hunched over the toilet bowl kneeling on cold floor feeling his headache grew and next thing he know, he was spilling all over the white marble bowl.

It took all of his strength to stop but somehow it doesn't. The more he hurled, the more his headache grew and he couldn't stop to even wash his face. He heard banging over the door of the lavatory and he recognized it was Phillip and Alex's voice. "Hen! Opened the lock Hen. Let us in." Phillip told him but he couldn't. He couldn't even raised his own head from hurling over the toilet bowl and next thing he knew, the door barged opened.

"HENRY!" They both called seeing Henry sprawled all over the floor holding on to the toilet bowl with nothing left in his stomach.

"Hey, hey. Henry look at me. Tell me. What is it? What is it?" Phillip asks repeatedly cupping Henry's head in his palm and tried to tap his cheek to wake but Henry is too weak to answer, he only could utter small words that he whispered, "Hurts." Phillip felt sudden regret bringing Henry home this soon since he knew for a fact that he is not ready physically to be airborne.

Phillip had Shan helped him carried Henry back to his seat before he called the stewardess for a glass of water.

"Hen, you need to take this." Alex told him holding out his hand carrying the two pills in his palm. Henry had his palm covered his eyes and his temple pressing into his headache. "WE need to emergency land this plane." Phillip told the captain as he left the cockpit to check on Henry. He can see how badly he looks and how painful he suffers right now.

"I'll see what I can do." The captain says but Henry stopped him, "N-No! No." He says raising himself up to grab the pills from Alex hand and shakily swallowed the water after. "I think I can hold it for another couple hours, we're landing soon enough." Henry says and Phillip sighs exasperatedly at his brother.

"Henry the swelling might increase causing your headache, we NEED to land as soon as possible." Phillip protest and Henry raised his seat up flipping through the screen on the panel inside his arm rest, "Unless you wanted to land on waters, I don't see where. Trust me. I will be alright. Just couple hours, it won't make any difference." He told him and Phillip sighs longly staring at Alex's face.

"He's right." Alex says and they both turned to look at Phillip including the captain still waiting for him to decides.

"I don't know how you accept his stubbornness." He flipped sending his arm in the air before he went back to his seat, immediately on his phone typing away in anger. Alex pressed his lips together knowing how stubborn Henry can get but never did he risk his life like this. He turned to look at Henry next to him who had lean his head to the side window before Alex pulled him by his neck.

"Come here." He told him letting Henry rested his head against his chest and Alex stroked his sweaty forehead with his fingers. He could feel Henry's fast breathing had finally slowed down and soon he fell back to sleep with Alex wrapping his arms around him.

.

Two hours later they landed and soon as they did, Alex can see there is an ambulance waiting for Henry at the tarmac. The moment the plane door opened, the medic rushed in and grabbed Henry in Alex's arm carrying him out from the plane and soon as he reached the ground, he was immediately placed on a stretcher.

Alex tried to follow Henry but his legs is not fast enough with the cast when he almost slipped down the steps but Phillip grabbed him by his elbow preventing him. "Careful." He told him and only then he noticed the raindrops over his head and the steps are glistening in waters.

"Welcome to London. Eighty percent of the time is rain so you might not want to slip and fell hitting your head. I don't want your mother yelled at me" Phillip says and Alex snorted at him before his eyes caught them closing the door of the ambulance. "WAIT!" He told them but Phillip stopped him.

"No Alex we'll meet him at the hospital." Phillip stopped him but Alex isn't one to budge, "NO I need to be with Henry. He's all alone in there!" He yelled back halfway limping to the ambulance but they drove off not waiting for him.

"WHAT THE FUCK??!!" He yelled after the ambulance left and Phillip hold the car door open for him. "Get in. We'll take you to the hospital." He told him and Alex walked in pain towards him. "How can you let him be alone going to the hospital?" He asks and Phillip sighs, "Because he's not. The medic is with him."

Alex eyes still holding on to the blue and red lights that had disappeared from their side and Phillip can see how scared he looks, "He'll be alright. I have Bea waiting for him at the hospital." He told him and Alex nodded immediately rushed into the black limousine and Phillip shuts the door right after.

.

Henry could hear beeping the moment he woke up. He didn't remember much but he remembered being on a plane and last thing he did was resting himself basking in Alex's scent as he fell asleep.

The beeping grew louder and faster as he flutters his eyes opened and the first thing he sees was the usual white ceiling and the long light above his head. He groaned in pain feeling his headache grew and the light suddenly turned off easing his pain away.

"Hen?" That soft voice echoed next to him and his eyes shifted to his side to see Bea holding on to his hand in her maternity dress that has pink and blue floral patterned all over. "B-Bea." His voice croaked at the sight of her eyes tearing up seeing her brother and he smiled. "Hey."

He tried to raise himself but he was too weak and tired so Bea pushed him back, "Easy. Just rest." She told him and Henry relaxed leaning against the pillow.

"I'm glad you're okay. The doctor said your blood pressure shoot up and your brain is under a lot of pressure." She told him pressing the button of his head bed slight higher but not too high as the doctor told her that higher head position would increase the pressure inside his brain.

"How are you sis?" He raised his arms up for her and she finally cuddles into his embrace and Henry can hear her sobs. "I'm fine Bea, I'm alright." He promised her but she was too hormonal to stop herself and she knows it.

"This isn't you, this is her." She pointed at her belly and Henry smiled palming her tummy and right after he did, he could feel the fluttering kick over her stomach and he laughs. "Oh gosh that was something isn't it." He told her and she smiles wiping her tears letting Henry leaned back against the bed.

It wasn't until the door barged opened and revealed Alex and Phillip with their frantic face and soon as they saw Henry and Bea, their face relaxed.

"Oh thank God." Alex says rushing to Henry side and immediately wrapped his arm around Henry's. "I was so scared." He repeats in Henry's ear and Henry finally exhaled a relief breath stroking Alex back with his palm. "I'm okay babe." He told him and Alex pulled away cupping his cheek.

"What they said? Are you sure you're alright?" He stroke Henry's cheek before Henry grabbed his hand in his, "Alex, meet Bea." He pushed his cheek to his side to face Bea and his eyes widen at her presence. "Hai." He smiled widely at her and she smiled back grinning at him.

"Hai." She handed her palm for a shake and Alex returned her gesture. He was interrupted when Phillip came by her side wrapping his arms around her shoulder and peck her a kiss over the top of her head. "Good to have you boys back." She says wrapping her arm around Phillip's waist and her other hand clutching on Henry's on the bed.

Henry was released soon after his blood pressure had stabilize and his headache had reduced. He was waiting for Phillip in the room staring into blank spaces when Alex shook his legs. "Huh?" He asks and both Alex and Bea stared at him. "Are you okay? We were wondering what would you like for dinner?" Bea asks and Henry gulped his throat shaking his head.

"I'm not hungry." He declined and Alex frowned at Henry's replies. "Hey, you okay?" He asks clutching his hand in his as he sat by the edge, "Yeah, just tired." He replied feeling Alex's thumb stroking his knuckles.

"Hen, we promised. No lies." Henry eyes returned to Alex's deep shade of brown and slowly he turned to Bea's blue one. "Where will we stay tonight?" He asks and Bea sighed longly. "Phillip had it cover, don't worry about it." She told him but Henry refused to accept it.

"A hotel then." He sighs resting his head back and just on cue, Phillip showed up with Shan besides him, "Ready to go?" He asks and Henry raised himself up from the bed with help of Alex.

.

Henry was surprised when Phillip brought them not to a hotel but rather a house that as big as their old childhood home. The house is practically a mansion and the white luxurious designs Henry assumed is Phillip's taste and he wonders when did he purchased this. Bea had gone back to her own home and promised Henry she would come and see him the next day.

"What on earth?" He mutters and Alex frowned at his reaction. "Welcome home." Phillip told him and Henry turned his gaze sharply at him. "When did you bought this?" He asks and Phillip shrugged. "Couple months, maybe more." He says and entered the house greeted by his house worker by the door.

"Charles?" He saw Charles standing by the door in his usual black and white suit with his white gloves smiling at Henry and he can't help hugging on the poor old guy. "You're here?" He asks and Charles nodded surprised at Henry sudden gesture. "Yes young sir, your brother had moved all of us from your father's home." He says and it caught Alex's attention.

This isn't Henry's childhood home and that is what's running inside Henry's mind earlier. He followed behind finally using his crutches entering the big foyer before his eyes caught the luxurious hall with a huge chandelier dropped from the ceiling above his head.

"Alex." Henry called holding out his hand for him and he grabbed his palm while his other hand clutched on his crutches underneath his elbow.

"This is Alex Claremont. My- boyfriend." Henry felt strange announcing Alex as his boyfriend for the first time in front of everyone in the house and they all pressed their lips suppressing their smile at him. "It's Claremont-Diaz now love." He corrected Henry and he raised his eyebrow at him. "Right, forgot. Sorry." He says with his lips twisting into a smirk.

"Right Alex you have the downstairs bedroom, there's bathroom in there. They will bring your stuffs soon. Henry shall we?" He asks and Henry frowned at his brother. "Wait, why don't I just stay with Alex downstairs?" He asks and Phillip raised his eyebrow at him.

"Because as much as I like to accept your relationship with Alex, you both are still kids and there is no way in hell am I letting you both stayed in a same room." He says and Henry glared at him. "Seriously? We're both adults Pip." He protest and Phillip turned, "Either you come with me upstairs or I will send Alex to a hotel in Northern London." Henry eyes grew wide but he didn't exactly fought back which Alex finds it funny for him being this way.

"It's okay Hen. Go ahead. Let me get settled. I need to rest my legs, it's killing me." He says and Henry turned sharply at him, "Are you alright?" He asks and Alex smiles widely pressing his lips at him. "I'm fine babe. I'll see you at dinner." He says and Henry sighed seeing Charles helped Alex to his room and he followed Phillip to his.

.

Dinner was basically fine dining at first but Henry being Henry he refused to be indulged in this kind of food and he is a simple person as Alex knew him. He declined Phillip offered for dinner the moment he saw what's being dine in front of him. "I'm not hungry." He says pushing his plate away and Alex on the other is savoring every single drop of his food.

"Hen, please. You need to eat something. You can't eat greasy burgers or cold pizza everyday." Phillip told him and Henry sighed pressing his temple, "He's right, here." He held a fork poked with roasted duck on the edge and Henry scrunched his nose shaking his head. "Think I'm gonna go to bed." He says and excuse himself from the dining table leaving Alex and Phillip alone to finish their dinner.

"Does he do this a lot?" He asks and Phillip sighed taking a sip on his wine. "Pretty much every single day of our life since father died." He stares at Henry empty spot next to Alex and noticed how his eyes still fixed on the door after Henry left. "I don't think I'd ever seen someone so fascinated by my brother before." He says with a smile turning Alex gaze back at him.

He blushed poking his meal to continue his dinner, but couldn't help feeling the silence in this house is not what he's accustomed too.

"The house is always this-" Alex looked around the dining area seeing few of the maids comes in and out refilling their drinks and their meals. "Quiet?" Phillip asks and he too pushed his plate away right after Henry left. "I sure hope after Bea's delivered, it would bring a little hope and warmth in this house."

Alex didn't say anything else but continued to eat and soon he headed back to his room. He turned his phone back on and noticed the missed calls and the messages before he taps on the call button. He forgot to see the time back home when his mum answered with her sleepy voice. "Alex? You've arrived? How was it?" She asks curious at his journey.

"It was hectic. Henry had another headache, we just got back from the hospital." He replied taking his seat by the edge of the large bed. His room is pretty spacious like he was staying at the luxury suite in The Ritz hotel.

"Oh God is he alright?" Oscar asks getting in the view of the screen after what he heard. "He's fine. He's resting now. He didn't even want dinner." He sighs rubbing his nape in exhaustion.

"Alex? Is everything alright?" Ellen asks noticed how Alex had such look on his face. "It's his family is different than ours. He is fucking loaded mum. You, Oscar and dad combined couldn't even match their wealth and I feel like -" Alex stopped himself before he continued. Ellen raised herself after she saw her son stared lowly over the screen, "Alex what is it sweetheart?" She asks.

"His brother just bought a fucking mansion so he could stay out from their childhood home like he went shopping at the Gap or something. I just feel like Henry would be a lot better with someone that matches his status." He finally told her and she realized how painful his tone is.

"Alex, listen to me." Ellen starts and Alex noticed how she moves to a different place and it was just her and Alex on the line.

"Henry might be richer than Richie Rich kid but he never flung himself for anyone. You know him by heart and he chose you over all those wealth. Believe me, I know!" She says and Alex chuckled at her words. "What if one day he decides that I was not worthy enough to be with him?" Ellen can see how vulnerable Alex feels being in a relationship with Henry had made him contemplate whether or not he is worthy enough to be with him.

"Honey, I think it doesn't matter what happened in the future, it's the present that matters. Enjoyed those moments while it last. Or maybe perhaps talk to Henry about it. He deserves to know your insecurities about your relationship." Alex sighs longly staring at his mum over the screen with a weak smile on his face. "Thanks mum. I'll talk to you soon." He ended the call soon after and his eyes lingered back into the room.

.

It was middle of the night when Alex shifted his body to the side and his hand hits something in the dark. He immediately turned on the light on the bed stand and almost screamed in shock when he saw Henry laid besides him - half asleep.

"Jesus fucking Christ Hen! You fucking scared me!" He raised his palm over his chest and Henry shifts stretching himself next to Alex. "I can't sleep." He mutters before he turned to face Alex next to him and Alex mirrored him.

"What is it?" He asks stroking Henry's hair away from his forehead and he sighed when Alex rested his palm over Henry's cheek.

"A lot go things going through my mind right now." Henry whispered.

"Things like your mum?" He asks and Henry shot his eyes at him.

He nods softly at his questions lowering his gaze down on Alex's collarbone. He noticed Alex is not wearing anything over his top body only his sweatpants underneath those thick blankets while Henry had his white jumper and his wooly pants on. He didn't even realized how his finger traced Alex's neck line down to his collar bone tracing the line of his muscles with the tip of his finger.

"Do you know how many times I have dreamt about this moment?" Alex asks turning Henry's gaze back to him. He shook his head softly with his eyes wide.

"I always dreamt us back in that dorm room. You're asleep in my arms, books and papers all over us. Your legs tangled with mine. Then when the morning light came I can see your hair bounced against the sunlight." Henry can see how longing Alex's eyes staring down at him while his fingers still stroking Henry's arm. He took a deep breath before he pulled Alex arms out and scoot closer into his embrace, resting his cheek closer to Alex's neck.

Henry let his legs wrapped around Alex's spread underneath the blanket, careful on his braced one and he felt how Alex arms wrapped around his body before he sighed in relief. "Like this?" He asks and Alex hummed pressing his lips over Henry's forehead. He looked up pressing his lips over Alex's throat and found the perfect spot when Alex moaned in his kisses.

"Hen." He moaned his name feeling Henry's kisses over his neck and when he sucked on Alex's tanned skin, he could feel his lowered half grown in sizes.

"Do you remember the day in that bathroom?" Henry asks in between his kisses and Alex cupped his jaw to look at him. He didn't say anything except stared at Henry's hazel eyes staring back at him with his mouth gaped apart.

"That I was not ready to-" Henry stopped himself and Alex could see how he swallowed his throat dryly before Alex pressed his lips against him. Their kiss deepened and Alex could feel Henry's pressing closer to him except Alex pushed him back and away from their kiss.

"Not today Hen. It's still - I can't do that to you after -" Alex pulled away from Henry's and turned on his back leaving Henry utterly speechless at his sudden repulsed from him. "S-Sorry." Henry mumbled before he pulls away and about to climb off the bed when Alex pulled him by his shirt. "Hey, I didn't say leave." He stopped him but Henry laughs awkwardly at his gesture.

"Get some sleep okay? I'll see you in the morning." Henry let go of Alex's gripped over his shirt and headed to the door in a rush before Alex could say anything else.
