Plot bunny of the day.
May. 14th, 2011 04:18 pmSo it came to me as the Flatmates and I were trying to do pilates in our living-room. Now, okay, that was a complete disaster, I have no muscles it is now a fact. But anyway, on to the idea, excuse the tangent.
Have you ever seen these pictures?



(if you haven't, well, you're welcome)
Now I want a story where while the team is moving Danny to a slightly better apartment (possibly closer to Steve's but you know, in my head they're not together at the beginning of this so yeah), Steve stumbles upon a stack of old pictures, these and more. And he's so fucking intrigued and all over that shit he finds some time to ask Danny about it and Danny spills that it was how he worked out and worked through his anger, and he loved it but then you know, Rachel asked him to stop and he never got back into it.
So Steve installs a sand bag in his new apartment when Danny's not around and so Danny wears a wifebeater and finds his old gloves in his stuff and he works through his anger so much he gets to the bottom of his feelings and suddenly it's crystal clear that he's utterly, completely, stupidly in love with Steve.
....Yeah. I don't know, you guys.

Date: 2011-05-14 07:53 pm (UTC)I would write it tomorrow but I'm spending the day out! I have some sort of obsession for men doing boxing and it just feels like something Danny would really use as a catharsis...It might just be in my head, but it feels like it'd pretty much in character...

OMG Eurovision, hah, it's so gay, every single year, AND YET I STILL WATCH IT, IT'S LIKE A GUILTY PLEASURE. I do miss Terry Wogan's commentary, though -- he always had me in stitches; at least half the reason I loved it was him.

I AM FASCINATED BY IT. I have not watched for years but this time there is Jedward and Blue and we have Pimms. So ya know. Never got to see it with Terry's commentary!

Date: 2011-05-14 08:48 pm (UTC)Steve would come in and watch from the doorway, fascinated with the way Danny's muscles shift, with the droplet of sweat that trails down from his shoulders to his lower back and down underneath the waistline of his shorts, every single punch flexing his body in a way that makes Steve's mouth dry right up.
Danny wouldn't even know he's there, because he senses no danger, not even a presence, he's so wrapped up in his own head, and Steve lets his eyes drink in the raw beauty of him, even as it makes him feel like a pervert to watch something so private, so personal. But then Danny looks at him and smiles, all bright and welcoming, and Steve allows his own shoulders to droop, relaxing into Danny's presence.
...Sorry, I couldn't help myself. The scene you outlined is just so evocative, this is its natural continuation in my head.
