Fics like You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me (Just Because You Can)

Or, 5 times Steve tells Danny he’s in love with him, and 1 time Danny says it back. The first time Steve’d said "I love you" to Danny, they’d been trapped under layers of collapsed concrete. And while the sentiment was definitely mutual, Danny had to struggle to say the words back, could only say them when they were safe above ground and he’d had a second wind from the wave of relief that had crashed over him at being alive. In the intervening years, Steve had kept saying "I love you," and Danny’d kept saying "I love you, too." Sometimes it was teasing and light, just part of their banter. Sometimes it was solid and heavy and felt like the foundation of a giant skyscraper. But Steve'd never said "I'm IN love with you." That is, until now.
