Henry eyed Alex strapping his leg braces back into place and adjusted the placement to his comfort. He couldn't stop gawking at how his fingers adjusted the strap like it wasn't just few hours ago he stroked Henry's cock sending him to oblivion.

"Stop staring." Alex told him and his eyes went back to his face and stunt at him knowing he was gawking. "I'm not." He denied and Alex smiled still had his gaze on the strap. Henry laid on his stomach over his bed with his sheets tossed over the floor and left his bed undone.

"What are you thinking so hard about." Alex says leaning on his side facing Henry next to him while his finger stroked his blonde messy hair.

"Confronting Phillip about this." Henry replied and Alex took a sharp breath before he sat up again. "Hen, you can't. What if it's true and you're gonna end up hating your brother." He told him and Henry sighs before he raised himself from the bed and starts putting on his clothes. He was in his brief before he decides to put on his normal sleeveless shirt and his sweatpants on.

"I know what I'm doing Alex. Don't worry about it." He simply says and starts to head to his other room where his piano was and Alex followed. Henry could hear the clacking of crutches when Alex approached watching how Henry sat down by the piano and starts pressing on the key playing a soft tune.

"If you know what you're doing then why not share it with me?" He asks and Henry continued on playing the tune ignoring him. "In time." He says and Alex felt like a payback when he said those words. "Fine. Do whatever you want." He says and starts headed to the door expecting Henry to stop him but he didn't. Instead he stayed on the piano bench and continued on pressing the key letting Alex stood by the door watching him. Soon he heard the door clicked and when he turned to see Alex is no longer standing there hoping for him.

Henry pulled out his phone from his pocket and starts tapping on the number and waited for it to ring. It took five rings before the call connected and Henry exhaled when he heard that voice. "Hey. It's Henry." He says.

.

Alex was infuriated at Henry acting cold towards him like he didn't just blew his brains out moments ago. He walked towards the staircase and by the time his halfway down, he saw Bea standing there with her arm crossed over her bulging stomach and Alex stop midway.

"Took you long enough." She says and Alex frowned at her words. "Uhm, what do you mean?" He asks ignoring her obvious questions. "Like you didn't just went upstairs to check on my brother?" She asks as soon as he stepped down on the floor and smiled pressing his lips. "How is he?" She asks and Alex turned to look at the top floor where he was before.

"He didn't take it well with Phillip. He suspects it was Phillip doing." He says and Bea took another deep breath. "Walk with me." She wrapped herself around Alex's free hand and they both starts walking towards the other end of the house headed to the back garden.

After a few minute walks on the garden lawn, they decides to take a seat on the bench that covered with roses and Alex smiles when the sun hits his skin lighting his tanned colored under the sunlight and Bea smiled seeing Alex bathed in those moments.

"I love having you around my brother." She suddenly spoke sending him back to the current moment with her.

"Henry is a very closeted person ever since he was a kid. Father used to say that he thinks the closet is his safe place like a prince being locked away waiting to be save." Bea starts and Alex turned his body to the side to face her. He could see the freckles over her face and the way the sunlight bounced from her radiating pure beauty and her pregnancy glow.

"Henry always says that he's not worth saving. That he is just there because mum and dad get bored and decides to have the third child because they had a lot of money to spend." Alex never thought of Henry would think of himself such way and when he looked, he could see tears glistened in Bea eyes.

"When I heard he got hurt, I was so mad." Her voice seems to break when she continued.

"I was so mad that how could someone broke my brother? What did he do to deserve such punishment? He has such a beautiful soul, a fragile heart. Like a little bird in a cage afraid if he spread his wings, he would fall. And he did."

"Phillip blamed himself for opening the cage door and the reason for Henry's fall. I think he punished himself for what happened." Bea turned to face Alex on her side, "So if Henry told you that my brother hired someone to kill those bastard, I'm glad. I'm happy that he did."

Alex took another sharp breath before his eyes turned to look at her again, "Bea-" Alex starts but Bea suddenly gasped in pain clutching on her stomach. "You okay?" He asks and she grunted clenching her teeth. "Yep, just couple of false labor pain." She says before she pursed her lips again and Alex was behind terrified at her calmness.

"Maybe we should get you checked out." He says and Bea shook her head smiling at him. "No, they will send me home right after." She says and Alex still not convinced. "My mum says that if you're were expecting like she did with me, you would give birth any day now. I came out early." He says and Bea chuckled.

"I sure hope so. I'm done being pregnant. See this." She pointed at her swollen ankles and Alex divert his eyes immediately after he saw those ankles barely had any bones left to see. "Yeah, men wouldn't know what if feels like." She says and Alex turned his gaze at her apologetically.

"Please don't give up hope on Henry. No matter how hard he pushed you away." She says and Alex smiled his half smiled thinking at how hard Henry had pushed him away so many times. "I think we pasts beyond that right now. He can push me all he wants but he will never get rid of me." Alex says and she smiled widely at him. "I'm glad."

.

Dinner was quiet, again and this time Henry joined them but still remained silence. The only sound were heard is the cutleries clanking over their expensive plate and the silent chew around the table. Henry stared at his plate for a while now and Alex had enough of him. "Eat." He whispered and Henry didn't move his gaze from the plate.

"I told you how it would taste like if you don't, remember?" He whispered in his ear and Henry turned his gaze next to him. He didn't say anything else and Alex was hoping it would at least cheer him up but it didn't and he was proven wrong. "Hen, if you kept on your hunger strike I would have the servant send your meals in boxes from now on."

"Would have tasted better." Henry make a snide comment and Alex could hear the fork drops sending loud clanking sound over their empty halls.

"What is it with you?" He asks and Henry didn't even turn a glance at him. "Nothing." Henry mutters but decides to drop this conversation.

"Hen, what do you think of baby names. I like to pick your brain." Bea tried to change the conversation and Alex was glad for her.

"Don't care." Henry replied and Phillip turned his gaze sharply at him. "You seriously don't care about your niece?" He asks and Henry groaned at him.

"I was thinking Eleanor." Alex starts earning a glance from all of them. "That's an old lady name." Henry replied and Alex nudged his elbow, "Hey! That's my mother's name asshole!" He defends and Henry snorted.

"What about Elizabeth?" Phillip says and they both scrunched their noses, "Isn't it enough Elizabeth there is in the UK?" Alex asks and Bea pointed, agreeing with him.

"What about Anna?" Henry adds and they all turned to look at him. "That's nice." Bea says. "Anna Enfield." Bea says and both Henry and Phillip turned their head sharply at her, "It's Anna Fox." Phillip says and she glared at them.

"Sounds like a mystery murder writer." Henry adds and Bea raised her eyebrow, "Like Anne Frank." Alex continued and Bea scrunched her nose, "Oh Jeez. Yeah, that's a no on Anna for me." She says rubbing her stomach leaning against the chair.

"Whatever it is, definitely not Catherine." Bea says and Henry face dropped at the mentioned of his mum's name. "Have you seen her?" Henry asks and Phillip didn't move his gaze from his plate. "No and I don't intend to." Phillip says and Henry sighs longly at him.

"Why not? I deserved to know Pip." Henry pushed and Phillip bangs the table with his fist earning all of them a gasps.

"Because she tried to kill YOU damn it!" Phillip yelled after he banged his fist on the table sending shakes all over. "How many times did we get over this? Why are you so adamant in finding her?" Phillip asks and Henry lowered his gaze down on the plate before him.

"Because she's my mother." Henry whispered and Phillips sighs longly.

"She's my mother too Hen. Don't forget that."

Phillip stood abruptly and left the dining area before headed back to his room, leaving the rest of them in stunt silence. "Hen, why?" Bea asks and Henry returned his gaze at her from across the table.

"I just need to know Bea. Why me? I didn't have closure on them, Phillip made sure of it, then I should have closure on her." Henry felt Alex's hand rested on his thighs for comfort and he turned to stare at him. Henry smiled weakly before he unwrap Alex hand from his thigh and stood leaving the dining table.

Bea sighs longly wincing at the pain over her stomach and Alex noticed, "Bea, should we go now?" He asks and she shook her head at him. "You better start thinking how we can get these two idiots talking again or else we both might be start eating in our room instead." She says before she stood up and left the dining room like the rest of her sibling does and Alex was the only one who stayed. Charles came by picking up the plates as Alex watches him.

"What should I do Charles?" He asks and he stood with the plate in his hand staring at Alex across the table, "I'm just the help sir." He says and Alex shook his head, "No, you're not. You are here since they are born, you knew them better than I did. Tell me what should I do?"

Charles took a sharp inhale before he returned his gaze towards Alex, "Someone need to remind those brothers what their father told them on his death bed." He states and Alex crooked his eyebrow at him.

"To take care of one another. No matter what." Charles quoted before he left with the plates and Alex grabbed his crutches and headed to his room instead.

.

Alex tossed and turned that night thinking at how on earth would he made Henry and Phillip on good terms again.

He was surprised to hear his door opened and saw Henry stumbling in almost took a fall due to the chair on the side table and he could hear him cursed under his breath. "Took you long enough." Alex says shocking him in the dark, "Jeez, fucking scared me." He says before he climbed under the blanket and Alex could feel his hand stroking his bare legs before Henry come out from under the blanket on his laps.

"Hai." He says pressing his lips over Alex and he could smell that horrid stench coming out of his breath. "Are you- drunk?" He asks and Henry smiled drunkenly at him before he stumbled on his laps and almost fell on his face but Alex grabbed him and Henry pushed him back on his chest, "Why you always smell so good?" He could feel Henry inhaling his scent over his neck and starts pressing his lips over Alex's neck down to his chest.

"Hen, why are you drunk?" He asks and Henry didn't reply but instead continued on kissing on his chest down to his abdomen. "You're an Adonis, you know that?" He says pressing his lips further down on Alex's curved stomach and he gasps at the touch.

"We should name her Adonis!" Henry says returning his head back on Alex face and Alex smirked, "Adonis is a boy." Alex defends and Henry huffed before pressing his lips on Alex again. "Then we should named her, Achilles!" He half yelled and Alex pressed his lips again, "Also a boy Hen." He laughs when Henry giggled. He loves this side of Henry, drunken, not uptight, not sad or frowning.

"Maybe we should name her Alexandra. After you!" He says grinding his hips against Alex and he can't help moaning a little. "I don't think Bea would like that." Alex says feeling Henry's lips over his neck again.

"Why not? She loves you. She wants her daughter to have eyelashes like yours." Henry climbed over his lap wrapping his arm over Alex shoulder and pressed his lips over his cheek and stares at Alex's eyes in the dark. He could see shadow form on Alex's cheek and Henry mouth gaped apart staring at him.

"Fucking eyelashes." He says pressing his lips over Alex's lips again and grind his hips over Alex's growing member before he trails his kisses down on Alex's neck. "Hen, we should talk." Alex whispered and Henry hummed pressing his lips over his bare shoulder.

"About you and Phillip." Henry stopped but resting his head over Alex's shoulder while sitting on his lap. "You need to know why Phillip insisted on you not seeing your mother. He is trying to protect you Hen." He says and Henry remained silent on his shoulder.

"Don't go poking around for trouble, remember?" He asks and Henry still remained quiet. "Hen?" He tried to shake him but Henry didn't budge and soon he heard him snoring over his shoulder and noticed he was falling asleep like a kid over his lap.

"Jesus Bea should hire me as a babysitter." He says laughing at himself before he placed Henry softly on the bed next to him. He pulls the blanket over the top of Henry's body and rested his head on the pillow with his arms folded under his head staring at Henry by his side, sleeping.

"What am I gonna do to you Hen?" He whispered stroking his cheek that had moonlight bounced from the window next to his bed. Henry stirs in his sleep but decides to rest himself on Alex's chest wrapping his arm over Alex's stomach.

.

When the morning light came, Alex still had Henry laid there next to him and he turned to his side to stare at him. The conversation last night replayed over his mind and sending smiles over his face. "If I were Adonis then you're my Aphrodite, Hen." He whispered stroking his hair back from his forehead.

"I'll be the boar." Henry whispered in his croaked voice and Alex snorted. "Good morning sunshine." He leaned to kiss Henry on his lips and Henry pulls back swallowing his throat dryly feeling the raging headache from the light shining bright in the room. He groaned pushing himself up and Alex could see he's regretting his act last night. "Fun night?" He asks and Henry kept swallowing his throat dryly but Alex could see his face pale and he looks like he's gonna puke.

"Hen?" Just on cue, Henry jumped from the bed and sprinted to the bathroom located inside Alex's room. Alex sighs when he heard him barely made it to the bathroom and starts spilling out his stomach inside the toilet.

Alex grabbed the crutches on the side and starts walking to the bathroom watching how Henry hunching over the toilet bowl and he hasn't stop vomiting yet. It took him a while before Henry flushed the toilet bowl and leaned against the bath tub and Alex grabbed the small towel running it under cold tap water, and pressed it over Henry's forehead.

"Wanna talk about it?" He asks and Henry groaned swallowing his throat before he grabbed a glass over the counter top and filled it half with water. He handed it to Henry and he took a sip before he handed it back to Alex.

Alex stood opening the cabinet to grab a pill bottle before he took out couple of it and heard Henry hurled over the toilet to vomit again.

"Here." He handed him the pills and Henry took it in his hand before he gulped the water from the same glass handed by Alex and thanked him. "Henry." He called but Henry stood abruptly wanting to escape the conversation but he stood too fast and almost stumbled on the floor luckily Alex caught him by his waist. "Come on, back to bed." He grabbed Henry by his arm over his shoulder and his other arms clutching on his crutches.

Henry slept through that morning and Alex let him when he joined Bea and Phillip for breakfast. "Is Henry still asleep?" Phillip asks Charles and he turned his gaze on Alex. "Yeah, let him." Alex replied and Phillip turned to look at him.

"I know he's been sleeping in your room Alex, I'm not happy about it but I know he hasn't had that bad nightmares since so I'm going to let it sly for now." Phillip adds as he took a sip on his coffee.

"He did. Just not as loud as before." Alex adds and his eyes turned towards Bea while taking a bite on his scones. "I barely heard him. I thought he didn't have it anymore." Bea states and Phillip sighs. "I'm late. Tell Henry I will see him this evening." Phillip told Bea and she sighs shaking her head waving him off.

"Uhm, Bea." Alex stops her after Phillip left and she turned her gaze at him with a smile, "Can I come with you to the rehab? I'm bored." He asks and she smiled widely at him. "Sure but today is my last day anyway, taking my maternity leave soon." She says grabbing her bag from the side and Alex smile.

.

The day was surprisingly eventful for Alex and he loves how the staffs treating him at the rehab. He barely could moves much but he helped Bea a lot especially in giving perspective on her take on her cases.

It was during lunch when Alex spend his time talking with Bea and his phone rang. He answered the call with a smile when he saw Henry's name appears on the screen. "Where are you?" He heard his voice hoarse and he smiles.

"Good afternoon my love. Have you come to your senses or you're still hungover?" He asks and Bea laughs, Alex told her about Henry came into his room drunk last night and somehow he trusted her enough to tell about their relationship.

There was a soft knock on the door and Bea allow the person to enter while Alex still on the phone with Henry.

He saw the boy handed Bea a folder and smiled at Alex but remained standing by Bea's desk before Alex ended the call. "I'm gonna miss having you around for few months." The boy said and Bea smiles at him. "I'm just going to give birth, not quitting." She says before she stood and walked around the table joining Alex on the couch.

"Oh, how is Henry by the way?" He asks and Bea turned to look at Alex sitting next to her. "He's uhm- he's good. Better." Bea replied and he smiles awkwardly scratching the back of his neck. "Would you tell him I miss having him around?" He says and Bea pressed her lips together before Alex cut her off.

"I wonder, what did you miss about him?" He asks and the boy turned his gaze at Alex next to her. "Uhm, everything. He's so handsome, smart and after what happened, he's a hero to me." The guy said and Alex turned his gaze towards Bea next to him. She didn't get to introduce Alex just yet and she enjoys seeing how Alex got jealous over this guy.

"I bet. He is handsome." He glared at Bea next to him.

"Tell me, what do you think of Henry's boyfriend?" He asks and the guy contorted his face, "I don't know that he has a boyfriend." He replies which angers Alex more. "He does." Alex says through his clenched teeth.

"Well, I supposed he's the American that he was pining about and he is not here so why would I care." He tempted and Bea can see Alex clenched his fist next to her when she pulls him by his shirt stopping him from charging at him.

Alex stood either way handing out his hand for a handshake towards him, "I'm Alex, the American he's dating." He says and he can see the look on that guy's face dropped on that sudden realization. "Damien. I'm gonna go." He says and Alex hummed, "Yeah, you should. And don't talk about my boyfriend anymore, Demon." Alex snide and he glared at him, "Damien." He corrected, "Whatever." Alex replied before taking his seat on the couch crossing his arms over his chest.

Bea laughs hysterically at him after seeing Damien flee her office shutting the door close and couldn't contained her laughter.

"Stop. It's not funny." Alex says still pouting over the fact that some boy had crushed on his boyfriend. "I can't wait to tell Henry about this." Bea says still laughing next to him.

"Not funny. It's bad enough I don't feel that-" Alex stops himself before he continued and Bea sighs longly staring at him.

"That you're not good enough for him? Yeah, I heard the same coming from him." She says and Alex turned his head sharply at her. "Yeah, you both can be the two sides of the same coin." She adds and Alex stares at her.

"You both had issue with this because of the trauma you both experienced. But don't let it got in a way of your relationship. You might regret it." She says and he sighs deeply. "How about him suddenly turned to alcohol for his problem?" He asks and Bea shook her head, "That's new for me too. I just need to talk to him when we got home." Bea says before she tried to sat up but the pain stricken her on the side and she stops.

"Now?" Alex asks and she shook her head pursing her lips into a deep breath. "Nope!" She says and sat up waddling to her desk earning Alex another groan.

.

"Hen?" Alex called the moment they both got home and saw Phillip already arrived few minutes before them. "Hey, you're home." Bea asks soon as she saw him folding his sleeves up his forearm.

"Where's Henry?" Alex asks and he shrugs, "Don't know, didn't see him since I got home." Philip says and they heard clanking of glasses over the music room when Phillip lead the way followed by Bea and Alex.

The moment Phillip slides the door opened, he was revealed by a person he won't expect to see considering how badly he treated her since Henry got into trouble. "Martha?" Phillip called and saw her sitting on the couch with a glass of wine in her hand and Henry stood by the fireplace with a whiskey glass in his hand. "Henry what is this?" He asks and Martha stood.

"He called, said you needed to talk." She says placing the glass down, "Yeah Pip, you said you wanted to talk, so I got everyone here." He slurred and Alex didn't like where this is going. "Hen, let's get you to bed." Alex says holding out his hand but Henry clicked his tongue at him.

"I'm done being in bed. I deserved to enjoy my life as it should and I can't do that, if he-" Henry pointed at Phillip, "Doesn't get his life straight." Henry continues and Alex fear for what Henry might say.

"Martha do you love my brother?" Henry asks and Martha stood there contemplating to answer. But she nods either way and Phillip frowned at her, "That's it then, Pip, you were gonna say something isn't it?" He asks and Phillip glared at Henry on the corner, "That's enough, you're drunk Hen." Phillip says through his seething teeth.

"So?" He asks before he gulped down another glass and tossed it to the fireplace shattering the glass in thousand pieces.

"I am my mother's son, you knew that. Everybody knows that. Might as well end up dead in a ditch anyway. Just like Danny and James did." Henry adds and they all frowned at his words.

"Oh wait, no. They didn't die because of that, did I tell you that Martha?" Henry turned to her and she had her gaze shifted from Phillip standing before her towards Henry on her side, "Phillip hired someone to kill them, FOR ME! How noble is your boyfriend?" He says and the look on Martha's face dropped the moment she heard.

"Henry, that's enough!" Alex stopped him and his gaze turned to look at him, "That's my boyfriend, his father- oops I mean, STEP- father, had joined forces with your boyfriend here to kill someone behind our back. Very noble." Henry winked as he poured himself another glass and Bea stopped him.

"That's enough Hen!" She yells and Henry glared at her taking the glass away from his grip, "It's fucked up isn't it?" He asks Bea and she had her eyebrow furrowed at him. "Her boyfriend, had someone killed, my boyfriend - well, he's too perfect to be my boyfriend anyway. And your boyfriend? Dead. Six feet under."

A slap reaches across Henry's cheek turning his head to the side and they were all too stunned to say anything else. "Enough." Bea says and her tears flooded her eyes feeling the sting on her palm for slapping Henry's cheek.

Bea left the room immediately after with tears in her eyes and Alex felt sorry for her. Phillip pulled Martha out from the room and brought her upstairs Alex assumed to talk about them, leaving only him and Henry in the music room alone in silence.

"Are you happy with yourself? After what you did?" He asks and Henry still staring at the fireplace with a whiskey bottle in his hand.

He didn't reply but kept staring at the wood breaks in the fire and felt like he is thousand miles away in his thoughts. "Babe." Alex pulled him by his arm for Henry to face him but Henry nudged him off. "Stop!" Henry says gulping another sip of the whiskey in his hand.

"Stop what Hen?" He says turning his back away from the fireplace. "Stop trying to make things better! It's not going to get better, not with me anyway!" Henry stumbled when his foot caught the foot of the table and fell on the side dropping the glass on the hardwood floor shattering it to pieces.

"NO!" Henry screamed over the spilt drinks and Alex tried to help him up from the floor but Henry shoved him back causing him to stumble and fell on the floor behind him. Alex screamed in pain for his legs as he clutched on his braced leg. "I'm sorry, Alex, I'm so sorry." Henry rushed to his side with tears in his eyes when he saw Alex gripped on his braced, before he heard Henry's phone chimes.

Henry grabbed his phone and saw the text but before Alex could asks who it was, Henry stood abruptly. "Hen? What is it?" He asks and Henry looked frantic, "I-I have to go." He whispered and before Alex could stopped him, Henry is already out from the door and Alex was having a hard time to get up from the floor with his braced legs.

"HENRY!" He yelled and Henry was already out from the main door by the time Alex could reach him and saw him drove away in one of the car in the driveway.

"Where is he going?" Phillip yelled over the top of the staircase as he runs down to catch Alex and saw Henry drove off, "I don't know. He got a text and he left. Phillip, he's drunk." Alex told him with his eyes flooded with tears and Phillip told him to stay at the house before he got into his car and tried to chase Henry.

"Oh God. Oh God please." Alex cried watching as Phillip drove away in the car chasing after Henry and there is no way Alex could do anything to help him right now. Martha came by his side holding on to his arm and he couldn't stop his tears running down his cheek.

.

Phillip could see Henry drove to a familiar road. It was heading to their childhood home and Phillip lost him when he pressed on the pedal faster than he does.

The moment he arrived, he can see the car Henry drives earlier parked outside with his engine still on and his car door open but Henry is not in sight. "Hen?" He called and found Henry's phone inside the car.

He ran inside to find Henry hoping that Catherine is not at home before he could find his brother. Phillip pulled out his phone and contacted the one person he could think of right now for help. "Shan? I'm back at the house. Henry has gone manic, I need help." He says and ended the call before he went further inside looking for his brother.

"HENRY!" He yelled but Henry is nowhere around and when he climbed upstairs headed to his room finding it empty, he was disappointed. He turned to a different room hoping to find Henry but failed until his feet turned to the last room at the end, his parents room.

The moment he stepped in, he saw Henry laid down on the floor with his head bleeding on the side, unconscious and his heart raced at the sight. "HEN!" He screamed attempted to rush to his side when he heard a loud bang exploded in the room and the sudden pain stings him on his back causing him to stumble just a few feet away from his brother.
