On Steve and Danny.
So, this has been on my mind since I was making a season 2 playlist for Steve (yes, this is something I do) and the final track was eluding me for a few days until I remembered this:
It's giving me thoughts, people. Thoughts about how Steve is always going to leave when he feels the need to, whether it's because of his drive for vengeance or because he's restless or because the Navy calls, and what he's looking for is someone to come home to when he's done.
Danny, at least at the moment, appears to me to be looking for someone who'll commit, whom he can trust, and who is going to be there for him no matter what. Increasinly, Danny is losing faith in relationships and love, and someone who will constantly walk away from him is not who he's looking for right now.
Yes, these are depressing thoughts. On my better days, I can think of them finding a compromise and I think they will be able to, but I also think that there is potential conflict in this. (Did I mention I love this type of drama? Oops.) I once saw a documentary on arranged marriage (one of those things where you realise that you should never get your information from the mainstream press) and it spoke at length about needing to have the same outlook and goals and background for a romantic relationship to be successful. It came to mind when I was pondering this, that maybe Steve and Danny don't share those things right now.
Now I love them as grown, mature men who are able to negotiate, but that isn't always enough, and I don't know, maybe Steve needs to settle down first or Danny needs to learn to think outside the box.
Thoughts?
Please avoid season 3 spoilers when speculating in the comments, as your hostess is a spoilerphobe. Thank you.
