Re: Huge (hawaii 5-0) gif. Also Uncharted.
I've said this before, but I just feel like Steve isn't hardwired for romance. Romance and relationships of a romantic nature do not seem to come naturally to him, and he doesn't even seem particularly interested. So I kind of see it as Danny taking him by surprise, because I can believe that Steve is attracted to him (as Steve has been attracted to others in the past, but it's probably been mostly physical) but more importantly totally in love with him. He adores Danny, simply in the context of the show, not even trying to make their relationship slashy. He's like the most important thing in Steve's life. I feel like his relationship with Danny progressed naturally and that it probably blindsided him, so maybe that's why he's in so much denial; he never thought he could feel that way about anyone.
(Our talks made me upload H50 icons again. Oops.)
Re: Huge (hawaii 5-0) gif. Also Uncharted.
I can see that, too, actually. I actually read a similar fic once, where he wasn't really interested in romance, until he realized he was in love with someone, except in the fic it was Catherine instead of Danny. And that could actually even be another explanation for why he was with Catherine despite not seeming all that into in her...not because he was hiding being gay (although I still think that's a possibility as well) but because maybe he felt like he "should" (like maybe people would think it was weird if a guy his age wasn't in a relationship or something) and it was fine when it was casual but then when it got to the point where she obviously wanted something more serious he wasn't interested anymore (and by that point he had Danny). So yeah, I could totally see what you're saying, where maybe he just never thought he'd want a serious romantic relationship, until Danny came along. And you're right, even within the show and without attempting to make it slashy, Danny's obviously the most important person in his life. And maybe he knows how he feels and just doesn't want to admit it but I could also see him not even realizing it himself and being completely oblivious.
(Apparently I still have one...I forget what icons I have when I never use any but the dove one. I need to change that.)
Re: Huge (hawaii 5-0) gif. Also Uncharted.
That makes more sense to me than just about anything else. I can buy him just liking sex and wanting a casual relationship, but when Cath started wanting to 'take things to the next level' he didn't seem enthusiastic or comfortable with it. And when Danny and everyone kept calling Catherine his girlfriend he didn't want to place that label on them. He isn't used to or completely comfortable with having a (romantic) partner, I think. Danny is a special case, and he can't really do anything about that because Danny isn't going anywhere, and he wouldn't want him to anyway. So maybe it's just easier not to think about his relationship with Danny because he needs to keep him in his life no matter what, and romance and sex complicate things.
(I LOVE that icon! Oh, boys.)
Re: Huge (hawaii 5-0) gif. Also Uncharted.
Haha...totally true!
Yes! Casual sex is one thing, but a more serious relationship is something else entirely. And you're right about the calling her his girlfriend thing...as far as I can remember, he never referred to her that way himself, and he seemed uncomfortable when other people did. It totally makes sense, too, that because Danny is so important to him he wouldn't want to risk that relationship, and there are so many ways it could go wrong. If he's in denial or doesn't realize it or whatever, and he acknowledges (even to himself) how he feels, then it could make things awkward being around Danny and given the types of dangerous situations they end up in, a distraction like that would just be an unnecessary complication. If he acknowledges it, and goes so far as to tell Danny how he feels, that would make things weird because he probably figures there's no way Danny feels the same, and that leads to both of them feeling awkward around each other. Or even if by some small chance Danny does return his feelings and they actually end up in a relationship, when it inevitably doesn't work out (and it won't, he thinks, because romance is not something he's good at) that fucks things up, too. And that's not even considering the whole gender issue, if this is the first time he's ever had romantic feelings for a guy, that could be causing all sorts of confusion and complicating things, too. So in his mind it's just better to keep things as they are so he doesn't have to worry about losing Danny.
(Me too! That was the scene that made my dad think they were a couple in this version lol)
