The 'idiots in love' trope was the truest thing that they had ever faced, and it was point in fact the greatest descriptor of their entire dynamic. The thing with Henry was that he knew that he was in love with Alex, he just did not want to inconvenience the other guy with unnecessary feelings, and considering that he did not have the greatest experience with how to approach such a situation like this, so he would flounder.

And it wouldn't be the most graceful thing ever.

"Oh I can assure you that a great many holes in your life will be filled, Alex Clarement-Diaz." and that sounded suspiciously like both a promise and a threat.
