Summary: Five times Bill Adama realised he was in love with Laura Roslin.
A/N: For unavitasegreta.
"Did you love her?"
"Well, I thought I did," Chief Tyrol admits, clearly not liking to say it.
"If you think you love someone, then you love them. That's what love is - thoughts."
He should have known, Bill Adama thinks sheepishly, some time later, that that conversation would come back to haunt him.
He knew he'd had feelings of lust toward Laura Roslin since the day they first met, annoying schoolteacher or not (who could ignore legs like hers?). Lust was okay. It was simple. It could be quantified and contained.
The other, though... When the frak had he started to think it possible for him to fall in love with his civilian counterpart and Commander-in-Chief?
His own words replay in his mind.
"That's what love is."
