Danny sat on the sand, the gentle mauve hues of the setting sun casting a soft glow over the ocean. Steve was beside him, quiet for once, his usual stoic expression softened by the peaceful evening. They had just finished a long day—one of those days that felt like the end of something and the beginning of something new.
"Remember that song?" Danny asked, breaking the silence. "Turn Me Loose."
Steve chuckled. "You played it the first time we were stuck in the car together."
Danny smirked. "Figured you needed something to loosen you up."
Steve looked at him, his eyes intense but warm. "You were right. Love is a friendship set to music, Danny. I didn’t get it then, but I do now."
Danny’s heart skipped a beat, the words lingering in the air between them. It wasn’t the first time Steve had surprised him, but it was the first time he had been so open, so vulnerable.
Danny reached over, squeezing Steve’s hand. "Yeah, I get it too."
The sun dipped below the horizon, signaling the end of the day, but Danny knew it was just the beginning for them.
