Introduction and Prompts | FAQ | Discord | Bluesky | Twitter | Collection Hello everyone! We are back with some exciting news! Returning for the third year is our annual Firstprince Week!
Every day from September 27th through October 3rd we will have a different prompt for you to draw inspiration from. Every prompt is designed to be vague so that each person can interpret it differently! There is no right or wrong way to participate. Whether you are an artist, a writer, a video editor, etc, you can join! Fics should be added to our ao3 collection. This event is not exclusive to members of our discord, so please join us!
Day 7 for @thebrownstone FirstPrince Week, “hey, look at me,” & gravestones.
(thank you @pragmatic-optimist for your help!)

When his phone rings just after two in the morning, Alex fakes sleep. He stays perfectly still as Henry reaches over him to pick it up and squeezes his eyes shut when he hears the soft sound Henry makes when he sees who’s calling.
He hears Henry’s groggy “hello,” then a soft “okay,” and “yes, he’s here,” followed by Henry’s hand pressing to the middle of his back.
“Love,” Henry whispers, and Alex sighs as he lifts his hand so Henry can press the phone into it.
Alex hears his mother’s tired “sugar” and not much else. He doesn't need to. He’d been expecting this call for over a week, and while the possibility of when and where it occurred was always up in the air, the outcome was always the same.

What if Henry got some really bad news right before going to the lake house? What if he thought he could protect Alex by saving him from future pain and that's why he left?
Or, Henry tells Alex to leave and Alex does NOT handle it well.
All Booked Up
Thanks to @thebrownstone for Firstprince week! Here’s mine for Written in the Stars!
A book tearing up the Bestseller’s List is quickly shoved into Alex’s hands via June and Nora. Despite his resistance, he’s taken in by the book and its whirlwind romance. When Nora insists they all go to a reading with the mysterious author, Alex is drawn in by H. G. Fox, hanging on his every word. When they meet after the signing, it sets him on a path he’d thought was impossible.
A month later, Alex has reread the book twice and joined in many a heated discussion with June and Nora about it. He’s dipped his toe into fanfiction, gone online to see what people are saying, and even tried to find out more about the author. As this was his debut novel, there’s not much online about H.G. Fox. The back of the book wasn’t much help. It didn’t even have a picture. Just a painfully short bio that reads: H. G. Fox loves three things in the world — writing, the perfect cup of tea, and his dog. This is his debut novel.
Finding snippets from this that don’t give things away felt impossible.

Summary
Alex, as always, is utterly captivating. He accepts his crown with grace and a crooked grin; it’s a duality that only he can pull off. Alex’s megawatt smile is brighter than the hundreds of multicolored shards of light reflecting off the mirrorball in the center of the room. Henry knows that Alex looks good on stage, he knows that Alex knows that he looks good on stage, and apparently, everyone else knows it as well. Henry thinks he sees a girl faint at the sight out of the corner of his eye. And yet, no one knows about Alex and him. Everyone in the crowd wants Alex, but it’s a losing battle — Henry already won that fight a couple of weeks ago.
Or, When Alex wins Prom King, Henry sneaks him away for a moment alone and realizes that his feelings may run deeper than their clandestine hookups suggest
For @thebrownstone's Firstprince Week - day four (clandestine meetings)
