Alex is anxious. He invited Henry to his room. Alex is pacing, trying to find something to do with his hands. Maybe he should sit down. He keeps pacing.

He's trying to remind himself that Henry wanted this as much as he did. Even if Henry left after kissing him on New Years, he agreed to come see him after their kiss in the red room, right? So.. Alex shouldn't be freaking out. Maybe it was a bad idea to do this in the White House, but Alex didn't really care about that part. Even if he's about to be with a guy. A guy who happens to be the Prince of Wales. Maybe a Founding Father is watching.

"Make it here okay?" Alex asked, his voice definitely not conveying how much he wanted to drag the prince in by his collar and make out with him right there. At least, that's what Alex tells himself.
