Justin smiles at him, lips curling up in his should-be-patented sunshine smile, and Ethan thinks it's love.

And it is, it should be, the sort of mad passionate love that artists feel and live and create, the sort that masterpieces are made of, because Justin follows him and kisses him and Ethan thinks it can't be anything else but love.

It is love, with enough fire to warm endless nights under the stars, enough fire to blaze endless nights under the earth, even when Justin shifts his gaze and tries hard to cry out Ethan's name when he knows, when they both know. Even then.

And Ethan thinks, with Justin snuggled up next to him, sated but not wholly, that there's something madly passionate and poetic about filling spaces too.

It's still love anyway, isn't it, Ethan wonders. Justin only breathes in reply, and Ethan thinks it has to be.

It breaks my heart also, but I HAD TO USE IT because most of the places I go, I'd get beaten with sticks for using it. >:)

I always wanted Justin to go back to Brian, but the relationship with Ethan was just so beautiful and sad and doomed, because of course Justin wasn't fully there at any point.

Also, Ethan makes me swoon.

(but not as much as Brian does.)
