It had been lust at first glance for Stephen, when he had glanced over his shoulder as he and Nick walked to the office to see the man trip over himself as he spoke to them.
That first glance showed him Connor's wavy brown hair that Stephen knew now was a soft as it looked and just as he's imagined in that first moment just as fun to tangle his fingers in and tug Connor's head back to expose his neck.
That first glance had shown him Connor's lithe body, long and lightly muscled that Stephen loved to have wrapped around his own, or to watch wrapped around Nick.
That first glance had shown him Connor's boundless energy and enthusiasm, even after running after them and falling over Connor was still bright and energetic. A quality Stephen rather enjoyed when that energy and enthusiasm was focused on him.
That first glance showed him Connor's blatant disregard for societies' norms, a quality for which he thanks god every day.
Nick's impression of Connor on first glance was of another irritating student who wanted his attention and was to be sent as far away as possible.
It was the second glance that caught Nick as he looked back and saw Connor smile.
