H50 fic: Everyone wonders how long they've been married (Danny/Steve)

[simplyn2deep.livejournal.com]

From the very start of their partnership the question had always been there. “How long have you been married?” It wasn’t always asked, but from the looks people gave them, one could tell they were thinking it.

After the first couple of times they were asked, they corrected saying they weren’t married. But it became too tedious to respond so they ignored. Sometimes ignoring was just as bad especially when it was the criminals who asked...or on one delightful occasion when Rachel’s mother was in town, got one look at them and asked. They weren’t even arguing that time.
