    Summary

    “Hey, man. Can I get a black coffee to go?”

    “Er…” he says – a faintly bewildered expression on his face. “Yes, I imagine so.”

    Turns out the guy is also British, which is like, whatever. Alex gives him one of his best smiles. “Great, thanks.”

    Hot Barista glances vaguely around himself, then back to Alex. He looks simultaneously surprised and uncertain, like some kind of aggressively handsome time-traveller who’s been unexpectedly yeeted into a different century. After a beat, he says – “From me?”

    “Uh yeah. You’re working here, right?”

    “Well... yes?”

    Alex tries very hard not to sigh.

    Great. Looks like he’s dealing with one of those people who are so attractive, they’ve never had the need to develop any kind of personality beyond that of a Tupperware container of room-temperature potato salad.
    Alex absolutely does not have time for whatever this shit is.

    ***

    Five times Henry serves Alex coffee and one time Alex serves Henry.

    Strap in, folks. It's a coffee shop AU ...Kind of.

    Summary

    “Bea.” He clambers onto his knees, grabbing her hands in his own. “Bea, take me to Thanksgiving with you.”

    Bea blinks. Blinks again. “What?”

    “Bea, I could terrorise your gran until she’s begging you to stay single forever.”

    Or, Alex agrees to be his friend's fake boyfriend for a weekend. He is not prepared for his friend's brother.

    Summary

    “Whose turn was it?” Henry asks while Alex is busy pondering the merits of throwing himself out their fifth-story window and hoping his boner doesn’t take anyone’s eye out on his way down. “Forgive me, but I am a bit tired. Do you think you could take it?”

    There’s no way that Henry’s not doing this on purpose. He makes words mean things when put in a certain order for a living, for fucks sake. Alex almost quips back depends on how big it is just to see how—or if—Henry would react.

    “Yeah, um, no problem.” There. Much more normal. He could steal Henry’s job at this rate. “Truth or dare?”

    Summary

    “I think it should be a thousand kisses.”

    Pez gasps, eyes wide with delight as he places a hand over his heart. “A thousand?”

    Alex’s throat is dry. “A thousand.”

    Now?” Henry looks terrified. “Or…”

    “Within…” Nora glances at June, and Alex is abso-fucking-lutely going to give her shit for her acting later. “A month?”

    June nods in agreement. “I think that sounds reasonable.”

    Nora clicks her tongue. “If we go by 31 days, that’s 32.26 kisses per day. I think it’s doable, but still a challenge. Perfect for the game.”

    “I’ve never experienced a dare that goes outside of the typical gaming period,” Henry says, his shoulder bumping into Alex’s as he curls a knee up to his chest. “How would we even keep track of such a thing?”

    Nora directs a devilish, sideways grin at Alex, and the realization hits him like a goddamn freight train.

    Henry didn’t say no.

    Summary

    "Okay, kids, settle down, we're all friends here," Nora cuts in. "And we haven't discussed where the night is going yet. I'm of the personal opinion that we should offer our British guests the quintessential American coming-of-age experience." Alex's eyes widen in what can only be sheer delight.

    "What, like beer pong?" June says, nose wrinkling.

    "No," Alex interjects. "Truth or dare."

    "You read my mind, Alexander." Nora turns to open the mini-fridge. "What would everyone like to drink?"

    "Henry and I will take vodka if you've got it," Pez says. Henry narrows his eyes at Pez, trying to communicate his alarm, but Pez simply grins back, feral, licking his top teeth.
