Well, I see it as more covert because for one, no one's noticed this until now, whereas last season we got blatant heartseyes and airhearts and closeness and touching (the ep where Danny has to wear flowers and latches on to Steve's shirt in a vain attempt to explain his horror about cruise ships and having to take off his tie, for example....and the obvious lack of personal space between the two of them that was so evident in almost every episode).
Just seems as if things like that have been toned way down this season.
I think there have been plenty of heatseyes this season, but I get what you're saying - I don't think there has been something akin to the "I <3 You" Danny throws at Steve in 1.20.
I don't think it has been toned down, but they have made it more subtle and the amount of time Danny and Steve spent on their own with each other this season was significantly reduced.
Also, I thought I'd mention that this gif really compacts into a tiny moment their whole relationship dynamic. Steve is the one who gazes, while Danny is the one who touches - it's a really beautiful rendition of the subtext.
How is it more covert?

Yes. This is what I was getting at. Subtle is a much more appropriate word.

Their relationship is still far more overt than any other I have ever seen. I'm constantly and every time am amazed by it.
