He'd suspected it before, and knew that it had been coming along for a while- in the way he'd gaze a little too long at Connor's lips, or get all nervous and calm at the same time- but he was absolutely sure now.

He thought he'd been in love before, he thought he understand what it meant- but nothing had ever felt like this. Never had he felt like a calm blue sea, with Deya, he had always been the storm, rolling across the sky- but with Connor, he was as calm and as harmless as water in a near empty bathtub. Tanner's love for Connor was like a pulse, constant and changing and fundamental. He didn't think he'd ever be anything but in love again.
