Why this must be read:

This AU begins in 2005 when Steve, an active Navy SEAL finds himself on leave in Newark, NJ. Wandering around the city, he finds Williams', a boxing gym owned by Danny. He and Danny grow close, but Steve has this bad habit of leaving without saying goodbye. The story follows their evolving relationship through five years as Steve spends each of his leaves in Newark. delicatale does a great job of keeping Steve and Danny in character throughout this lovely story.

Excerpt:

“So what, I’m your little bit of rough on the side?”

Steve huffs out a laugh, looking down and scratching the back of his neck, feeling a little sheepish. Danny is a lot more things that Steve can’t really talk about, even here and now, especially here and now. Maybe later. He has a hard time believing Danny would be forgiving this easily.

“Can say that.”

It takes Danny a while to reply, but when he does, he looks serious again.

“I’m glad you think I’m worth spending time in New Jersey for when you’ve got leave, Steve, really, I’m flattered. But you know what? I’m not going through this again. So go ahead and go find someone else to fuck and leave.”

“Danny, please.”
