Another Boxer!Danny taster because I'm bored and my Muse is uncooperative today.

[delicatale]

“How long do we have left?”

Steve checks his watch, counting the hours in his head.

“My plane’s in 6 hours.”

“I suppose you don’t need a ride?”

Steve takes a deep breath, his nose right against Danny’s cheek, smelling aftershave and a little bit of regret. He wants to stay longer, he wants Danny not to miss him, and he doesn’t want to miss Danny, either. For a moment he wishes he could be irresponsible, run away from the Navy and his responsibilities, but he doesn’t want to play hide and seek for the rest of his life, not only for himself, but also for Danny. For Grace.

“You may have gathered that I’m not the best at goodbyes.”

Danny laughs, open-hearted and thoroughly amused.

“That’s an understatement.”

“I’d love it if you gave me a ride but it’s, I - yeah. Can’t deal with it. Guess I’m being selfish. My sister tells me I am every time I call her.”

He’s sharing more than usual and Danny is looking at him, his eyes bright and serious when he lies a hand on Steve’s cheek.

“S’not selfish. I get it. maybe you should visit your sister, though, instead of calling her.”

Ooh, angsty goodbye scene. I like. :)

You are such a tease, I want to read more now :(

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

They give me such a rollercoaster of emotions, seriously.

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

I honestly want to start posting soon but I'm scared of doing so if I don't have it finished!

I am the worst tease, I apologise :(.

[theellibu.livejournal.com]

So much love for this story ♥ You already know that, but I just felt like saying it again ^^

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

Ellen I really want to start posting it :3.

[theellibu.livejournal.com]

I think you could start posting it. You've already written a lot and you're still writing it, so it's not like you'll run out of stuff to post before it's finished...

[miss-tartie.livejournal.com]

WANT TO READ IT ALL.

*nods*

[azziria.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, start posting it!

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

I'm seriously considering it! It's not like I don't know where I'm going, or not nearing the end, because I am now...

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

THAT IS GOOD! Because I'm considering starting to post it very soon...

[theellibu.livejournal.com]

Well, there we go then. Start posting it, everyone deserves to read this story in all its awesomeness *nods*

And keep writing so you can send me more, because I want moooooore. ^^

[theellibu.livejournal.com]

I say everyone should poke Ellie until she starts posting it ^^

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

I can add you to the gmail document if you want to read it in real time?

[gossy16.livejournal.com]

So I caught your cut text there and immediately started ~performing~ YOU DO SOMETHING TO MEEEEEEEEE (etc.) lolol. OKAY. brb reading this actual post.

[gossy16.livejournal.com]

Further thoughts upon reading: asdfghjkl;' THE BITTERSWEETNESS. It's like I can taste it with my whole heart or something.

[azziria.livejournal.com]

Post, damn you!

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

THIS SONG FITS SO THIS FIC, I DIDN'T REALISE UNTIL WE SAW IT LIVE YESTERDAY NIGHT. OMG I COULD HAVE CRIED IT WAS SO SO GORGEOUS. I totally used two lines that are not actually following each other but nevermind.

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

:3 *throws self into happy twirls* I want nothing more!

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

It needs to be beta'ed first! :3

[miss-tartie.livejournal.com]

yes please do I need something to keep me entertained!

[theellibu.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you can do that if you want. I don't mind waiting for you to send to me at the end of the day either though. If you add me to the gmail document, I'll read it whenever I get a chance, I'm still quite busy at work :(

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

ugh, work. I'll add you to it - you can access it via mobile if you want to read on the bus!

[alba17.livejournal.com]

Oh I love this. "smelling aftershave and a little bit of regret" Love the whole description of Steve's feelings and I want to know what's going on. Where's he going? (rhetorical question) Pokes your muse.

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

When I post it, it will all make sense, promise! You won't wonder where Steve's going at all then =D. Will have to wait for chapter 4 for that one though :'). OH MY GOD I AM SUCH AN AWFUL TEASE D:.

[willow-fae-20.livejournal.com]

I can't wait to see how this works out.

P.S.: You totes need 'The Boxer' by Simon and Garfunkle on the soundtrack.

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

Oooooooh thank you for the rec I shall go and check out this song right now!

[alamo-girl80.livejournal.com]

I shall rename you TEASY McStringUsAlong! And that shall be your new name until you POST MORE!

Steve can't do goodbyes. *wibbles* ♥

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

MEEEEP IT'S ALMOST A CUTE NAME!

...if you must know, chapter one is in the hands of the beta.

He can't, the poor thing, he's terrible when it comes to open himself up, so admitting he's sad is haaaaaaaard.

[alamo-girl80.livejournal.com]

I think it's a cute name. Very much so!

Steeeve has FEEELINGS that he cannot express....

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

He has so many of them. So many ~feelings. He's kinda struggling with them in the bit I'm writing, they're starting to be a bit overpowering.

[alamo-girl80.livejournal.com]

Hey I totes get it. I'm trying and TRYING to figure out a way to start an "unrequited loooove" prompt for the kink meme (although not sure if it's a kink, really, it's pretty much canon) and MY BRAIN! She is not working!

And not I just saw Scotty Caan's hair in those new pix at Sheof's Lj and well, now I have his freaking hair in my brain too. WTF, Mel?

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

Oooooh I saw those pictures yesterday morning and I was so happy. There was a lot of flailing about his narrow hips and large shoulders and cons and his fluffy fluffy swirly hair.

[alamo-girl80.livejournal.com]

I admit, I am a sucker for broad shoulders. Probably why I married a broad shouldered, narrow-hipped guy. HEE!

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

Lucky! I have 2 amazing best friends and a ginger kitten that only loves me when she's hungry. Which is not that bad, mind you!

[alamo-girl80.livejournal.com]

Trust me when I say that just having some great besties and a kitten is sometimes a lot better than a husband and a 2 yr old and 2 kitties at home. No matter how muscular and huge work out freak the husband is. Oy.

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

Oh I am so not ready for children. I am the kind of person who loves kids, as long as they're not mine. Also have trouble when they're really young - as in 'I'm gonna break them'. Or when they're at the 'WHY?' phase. I have no patience, it's absolutely awful.

I just want a boyfriend to give me hugs really.
