Jesse gave him a long look. “Huh. I thought you two were just fucking. I didn’t know you were dating. Guess I read that one wrong.”

“You andSebastian?” Connor sputtered. “But youhatethat guy.”

“I did at first,” Luke agreed.

Tanner reached for the first thing he could grab and whacked Luke on the shoulder with it. It turned out to be a glove, so it landed with a pretty solidthwack. He shouted, “You’regay?” and hit him again.Because what the fuck?

“No,” Crawford said, scowling.

“Bi then?” Tanner asked, raining blows on his shoulder. How could Luke have kept this from him the whole fucking time?

“I guess?” Crawford had a weird, disgruntled look on his face as he batted the glove away.

Tanner smacked him again. “How could you not tell me, you assbag?” Thebetrayal!

Crawford grabbed for the glove, trying to yank it out of Tanner’s hand.

“What do you mean you guess?” Tanner sputtered, planting his feet and refusing to let go. “Like you’re pan and don’t like the bi label or?—”

“I don’t like any labels,” Crawford grumbled.

Tanner was being dragged slowly across the carpet because he didn’t have the bodyweight or strength advantage. He let go, allowing Crawford to grab the glove from him.

He tossed it across the room and glowered at Tanner. “But if you must know, I’ve fucked more men than women and I don’t usually dateanyone.”

“Yeah,” Connor said with a frown. “I thought you were aromantic! What the fuck?”

Tanner grabbed another glove and whacked Crawford again. “Seriously. What the fuck?”How was this even possible??He would haveknown, right?

“Still am,” Crawford said with a grunt as he tried to wrestle the second glove from Tanner.

“Aromanticism is a spectrum,” Anker called out.

“That,” Crawford said, getting a good grip on the glove.

Tanner was too stunned to hang on.

Crawford chucked the second glove after the first. “Don’t usually date or want relationships. Sebastian and I work though.”

“Dude!” Tanner protested, slugging him with his fist this time.Oww.“What the actual fuck?”

“Would you fuckingquitit?”

“No!” Tanner shook out his smarting hand, then slugged him again. “How could you keep this from me?”

“Because not everyone needs you up in their business, man,” Tom said with a laugh as he walked by them on the way to the shower. He was naked and Tanner got distracted for a second because talk about great asses …

While he was distracted, Crawford grabbed him and pinned his arms behind his back, glaring. “See? I keep telling you. You’re too damn nosy,” he said.

“Wait, so you and Tanneraren’tdating?” Erik Wyatt said, glancing up and waving a hand at the two of them. “I thought you two were dating and all this shit was just foreplay.”

Crawford shuddered and let go of Tanner’s hand. “Me and Tanner? God no.”

Tanner gagged at the idea. “Dude, I havestandards. No way am I fucking this guy, even if he is queer, apparently.”

“Standards?” Mickey said, looking amused. “What standards?”

“Youhaveno standards,” Rafe added.
