Danny is throwing out words in sentences that actually surprise him. Actually come in somewhere around least likely thing to come out of Danny's mouth. Especially while he's standing there in nothing, less than half a foot from the bed. Very sure he was being touched and kissed seconds ago. Seconds ago, before Danny's voice started twisting the way it does when the car is sliding in a hair pin turn around a curve, fingers gripping the armrest to white.
Before Danny was referencing anything happening downstairs like it was absolutely nothing. Like it was something that needed to be forgotten, and shoved under the bed beside them, as quickly as possible. Like that was the use for it now. When his tone and the way he's moving, or maybe not moving enough, is setting off sirens in Steve's head. Leaving him staring at Danny's face, taking the hit from all of those words somewhere far too unexpected.
Tightening the muscles in his chest and twisting up his stomach, like Danny might have reached his hand in and turned it upside down suddenly. Brow furrowing. Far too easily letting those words land in far more about him than the subject he'd chosen to rag on just now. Because, really, what the hell is going on suddenly?
"Right, cause it working out once," His tone is testier than it should be, partly sharp unspoken question already, and more wary than confused that this is stepping even further to the side, prodding right back at the words given to him. "That's a perfect reason to toss in the towel and throw them out now? Because that makes every bit of sense."
