Look whose getting a jump ahead today! Thank you to @getmehighonmagic and @hgejfmw-hgejhsf for the early WIP Wednesday tags, I greatly appreciate it <3 Once again you're getting marriage of convenience AU, because it's my big fic I'm trying to get done right now, and it's my main WIP outside of Story of Us!
“Okay, fine. So you’re finally embracing your bi-dentity, then?” She asks as she sips her drink and leans back in her chair, eyebrow arched at him accusingly. “Bi….dentity?” Alex’s confusion furrows his brow as his lips purse. He assumes this is some kind of play on his sexuality, but he’s not quite sure how Nora would even know about his questioning of it. He was fairly certain that had been just his internal narrative these days, that he’d not slipped up and said anything to anyone, and his stomach drops at the idea of someone in the real world knowing how much he’s been questioning everything lately. Henry’s turned everything on it’s head, and honestly, he’s been dreading what the end of this marriage will mean for them. “Yeah, like, the fact that you’re obviously bisexual. Have you come to terms with it then, finally?” Nora sips her drink and gives him the look. The look that says she can read him like yesterday’s old newspaper, that she has been reading him like her morning news updates ever since they’ve become best friends. “Oh god, you aren’t ready to come out, are you? Shit, I’m so sorry I figured… since you know, you married a man –” Nora looks sheepish, and Alex appreciates her for it, but he’s currently having a minor identity crisis, and doesn’t have time for her apologies. Because she’s right… he’s bisexual, and it’s been there since he found his eyes wandering to other guys in his grade in high school, or how he never cared who sidled up to grind on him at the club in college, or since Henry brushed into his life and became a permanent fixture, replacing his need for a partner with movie nights and dinners in and dates to uncomfortable law firm parties when he had no one else to go with. It’s all slotting into place, and Nora is still babbling but he cannot focus on anything but this puzzle piece fitting together.
