Steve and Danny sat at the kitchen table, silently fuming at each other. They got into a huge argument the night before about God knows what.
They both went to bed angry, Steve slept in the guest room, and they both woke up in foul moods. Steve was focused on a certain spot on the table while Danny was nursing a cup of coffee.
The radio had been playing softly in the background. The song that started to play caught both of their attention.
I don't feel like loving you today
So don't you even try to change my mind
The best thing you can do right now is just go away
Cause I don't feel like loving you today
I don't want to talk about last night
I'm angry and I haven't had much sleep
I'm so tired and bloodshot ain't no telling what I'd say
Cause I don't feel like loving you today
At the same time, both Steve and Danny raised their heads and stared at each other. Both of them quickly looked away, still feeling raw from their argument.
But you know I will anyway
Even though we make it hard sometimes
I'll wind up forgiving you
And probably loving you for the rest of my life
But I don't feel like loving you today
Steve looked back at Danny, trying to convey everything he's feeling with his eyes. He couldn't find the words that would make this right and he hated fighting with Danny. He missed the sound of his lover's voice, his laugh, and the smile that would light up his entire face and make his eyes crinkle in the corners.
Danny felt Steve's eyes on him. He knew that if he looked up, he would cave and forgive the goof. Not this time. Nope. He's gonna resist and keep his foot planted firmly to the ground. He tried to listen to the rest of the song, but it was proving to be rather difficult when he knew Steve had his puppy dog eyes trained on him.
And I've got sixteen hours left to go
I might tell you that I'm leaving even though you know I'll stay
Cause I don't feel like loving you today
But you know I will anyway
Even though we make it hard sometimes
I'll wind up forgiving you
And probably loving you for the rest of my life
But I don't feel like loving you today
I just don't feel like loving you today
The radio switched over to a new song but Danny was still focused on the previous one. It astounded him at how a song could convey everything he wanted to say without having to actually say it.
But this situation needed to be talked about. Danny sighed and set his coffee mug to the side. He looked up at Steve and sure enough, the puppy eyes are being used to their full effect. Danny reached across the table and took Steve's hands in his own.
Steve knew what was coming. He'd been anticipating this for a while now. He needed to talk first or else he'll never be able to get a word in edgewise when Danny got started.
"I'm sorry." The both of them said at the same time. They were both stunned for a moment before Steve beat Danny to the punch.
"I mean it. I was out of line last night and I shouldn't have said the things I did. I was in the moment and I wasn't thinking. Danno, will you forgive me for my idiotic behavior?"
Danny listened to his partner closely. He gently squeezed Steve's hands and took a deep breath.
"I agree that you were out of line and that you were being a complete idiot. So with that being said, your apology is noted, acceptance is pending."
Steve stared at Danny in disbelief. "Are you kidding me right now?! That's all you've got to say to me?"
Danny couldn't hold back any longer. He broke out into a huge grin and chuckled.
"I'm sorry babe, but I just couldn't resist."
Danny leaned over the table to place a chaste kiss to Steve's lips.
"I'm sorry too. I said some nasty things to you as well. I forgive you if you forgive me too."
Steve didn't have much of a chance to deepen the kiss before Danny moved away and started talking. He stared into Danny's crystal blue eyes and just got lost in thought. Sometimes he forgot how easy it was to get lost in Danny's eyes. He extracted his hands from Danny's and brought them up to frame Danny's face.
He probably had a goofy grin on his face, but he didn't care. Being around Danny just pulled the goofy right out of him. It's like he had no control over it. He grabbed one of Danny's hands again and pulled him around the table and settled Danny on his lap.
Danny went willingly and placed his arms around Steve's neck to keep his balance. He sat there and just stared at his lover. Danny wouldn't be able to stay in this position much longer due to his knee. But right now, he didn't give a fuck.
Steve settled his hands on Danny's hips, giving them a firm squeeze. He was still staring into Danny's eyes before he leaned in and captured Danny's lips. He kept control of the kiss, denying Danny the pace he was looking for.
They remained at the kitchen table, trading lazy kisses back and forth. After a while, Danny began to shift his weight to try to take the pressure off his right knee. Steve noticed the movement and wrapped his arms around Danny and stood up.
Danny instinctively gripped Steve's shoulders to keep them from falling to the hard floor. He also wrapped his legs around Steve's waist, giving him a curious look.
Steve gave Danny a wicked grin and spread Danny out across the kitchen table. He climbed on top of Danny and began kissing over his lover's neck.
