Adorable!

I loved the pacing of the movie-watching (or not-watching), how Dan's thoughts were so relatable and so perfectly timed... and how at the end everything is so awkward that it would be laughable if it wasn't so sweet!

(Over 2,500 words? Really, Bill, look up 'drabble' in the wikipedia! No, on second thought, don't. I enjoy your writing too much.)

Thank you! I'm so glad I could get my idea for these two across just the way I intended to! Life is incredibly laughable sometimes, isn't it? I think jennis_footie said it best in her comment below: Uncertainties concerning another person's feelings for oneself can cause a person considerable mental havoc as to almost ruin what could be a potentially beautiful relationship. How many people would have turned around and run away from such an encounter rather than face possible rejection? That's exactly what I wanted to show in this story, and I'm glad it worked for you!

(Hahaha, I know!! XDDD I fail at this. But I'm relieved you don't mind too much. *LOL*)

OKAY. I totally did not want to read this because it's Finns and it's Dan and Finns is GONE and it still hurts and sjdhkjakdfnd. For lack of anything more coherent, my favorite lines:

In their respective living rooms, the distance of their beer cans on the table was directly proportional to Daniel's and Steve's distance on the sofa, decreasing every week.

He couldn't even say who started it, but suddenly Steve's mouth was on his, and his mouth was on Steve's, shyly, as if to ask if it was okay, then getting bolder as if to say it was okay, and bolder still as Daniel showed Steve just how okay it was.

♥ this was too good, and it made me feel all sorts of tingly inside. :)

I know! When sophiamoon requested the pairing, I knew immediately that I couldn't write a fic that takes place after Finns left. I still miss him way too much, and he's not really doing well at Espanyol because he's injured all the time, and that's not helping. *sigh* So yeah, I had to write something about their time at Liverpool, and Dan's early days were just too suitable for this. :D

Thanks for your kind comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the story!

LOL! Very flattering feedback, thank you! :D
Unfortunately there are very few pics of them together, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, I'm sure there are a couple of Steve/Dan icons out there! :)

I'll start from my favourite lines. "They stopped caring which movie they were watching. As long as there were images flickering over the screen, it was all well and good. Sometimes they watched movies that neither of them was interested in, just because both of them believed the other one liked it." Loved this so much!
And this "hand on the sofa" game was a very nice idea. The first touches are always so thrilling!
The dynamics of the kiss were perfect, too.
I also liked the build-up, the intensity of Dan's thoughts, how he goes from uncertain and doubtful, and scared to absolutely certain of what he wants.

Enjoyed it very much.
