tanner & joel | @erstwhles

Tanner pours himself a glass of the champagne that Miles picked up earlier, then grabs his phone so he can head into the living room. His teammate is out at a party, but Tanner is too nervous about their game tomorrow to handle being around other people, so instead he chose to stay in. It's not like there's much reason to go out anyway, with Joel across the continent in Ottawa. If he can't kiss him at midnight then he might as well avoid the craziness of the holiday. Not to mention the cold.

Once he's settled in front of the tv he calls Joel, listening to the ringing line and feeling the familiar ache of missing him. It hasn't even been a month since they saw each other last, and while he'll see him again in just a few days he knows that that's probably their last meeting of the season, unless they can sneak in quick trips before the summer comes. As it turns out, long distance is no joke. Joel is worth it, though, and Tanner waits impatiently for him to answer, needing to hear his boyfriend's voice.
