Just a matter of time. Always comes down to what people want first, nobody's selfless enough to not want to protect the things that mean the most to them. Tate himself isn't an exception to that, which is why it's... hard to deal with when nobody feels that way about you. Seeing it in other people stings. He just wants to believe he belongs.]
