Ezra remembered when he met Tanner, when the red-headed male first arrived on the server. He took him to the Floating Isles, and believed that was that. He didn't expect to be helping him again. And again... Soon, Ezra accepted Tanner was part of his life now. The two became friends, and hung out for days. Days turned to weeks, and weeks to months, for that's how time passes. And now, on this particular rainy day, Ezra had to tell Tanner. Though the son of TechnoBlade would never admit it aloud, he....well, he had caught feelings for his friend. He'd kept the feelings inside, as he did with everything else. But after a conversation with Xanthe, he was convinced it was time Tanner knew.
And so, as the two sat out in the meadow, Ezra prepared himself. "H...hey....Tanner...?" He asked hesitantly, feeling his heart pound in his chest. "Hm...?" Tanner turned his attention from a bee to the smaller boy beside him. "What's up, mate?" Ezra swallowed. "Well, I uh- ok so, well, we've...no, actually, um..." Ezra groaned. "Gods, why is this so hard?" Tanner frowned, unsure what was wrong with his friend. He placed a hand on Ezra's leg, concern evident in his eyes. "Ezra, you know you can tell me whatever." He said. Ezra pushed back his bangs, slightly embarassed. "Ok...Tanner....I..." He frowned, running his hands over his scarred arms, then he suddenly blurted, "I freaking love you, okay?" Ezra could sense Tanner's surprise and was terrified of what he would say. But he said nothing, he simply moved his hand from ezra's leg, going to hold his hand. "Aw, Ezzie.." Tanner smiled softly. "I... I love you too. What took you so long to realize?" "I-" Ezra paused. Then playfully hit Tanner's shoulder with his free hand. "Shut up, man!" The two laughed, and Ezra was glad he decided to confess. As the rain fell on them, they sat together in the grass, thinking of their future that was to come. ((Heyhey!
