Summary

They have a routine for this: when the work becomes the only thing Alex feels he knows. A routine for the suffocating pressure of perfection and bone-deep desire to be perfect, to let the pressure take him until he is. It starts here: Deep breaths. Firm contact. Alex will breathe, and breathe, and breathe through all of the emotions, letting them run their course, and Henry will do everything in his ability to provide him with the most physical comfort he can.Then,“You are good enough, Alex. You give more and you work harder than you realize. It’s okay to struggle. It’s okay to be frustrated with yourself. But you will always be good enough. You deserve to take a break.”

He just doesn’t often get told he’s good enough.

-or, henry comes home to find alex has been studying for hours and helps him take a much-needed and well-deserved break
