Presumably you're talking about the blog @amongussexgif.
The blog's owner certainly doesn't post the gif as often as the name would suggest, but xe still posts it in general, so, not really anything to verify. Probably doesn't even count as a gimmick blog, since it's seemingly used more as a main.
Just for the heck of it, I did try and source the aforementioned gif.
Searching for it on all the major image search engines brought up this Reddit post from 2 years ago as the earliest indexed result, however the phrasing of the title makes it obvious that the OP wasn't the original creator.
It's most likely the gif originates from some social media user, my gut says Twitter user, and is an edit or recreation of a remarkably similar "Ugandan Knuckles" gif - same style, quality, the two characters are even the same color in the same, uh, order. I'm not gonna try and source that meme, though. I have my limits.
McDanno, J (when words aren't enough). Thanks! Much love <3<3
So I finally gotten around to writing this one, this is officially my 60th! McDanno fic. It's tiny but I enjoyed writing it. I hope you like it as well. (general audiences, no rating) My mind came up with the following:
-
Steve watches Rachel smile at Danny and his stomach twists as Danny smiles back. He moves closer to Danny and places his arm on the back of Danny’s chair. Rachel frowns when Danny settles back and leans in slightly. Steve grins, even if it’s subconscious, Danny’s body language speaks for itself and Rachel knows it. They stay like that the rest of the night, no matter how much Rachel is trying to pull Danny to her side.
“Hey Danno?” Steve calls out just as Danny is about to open the front door.
Danny turns around at the front door, looking back at Steve through the open car window “What?”
“I love you.”
Danny shakes his head in confusion. “I love you too?”
Steve grins, he never gets tired of hearing that. He holds up his hand in goodbye and Danny mimics the gesture before he turns and steps inside.
It eats at him the whole day, and he only relaxes the moment Danny jumps out of the car in the middle of the forest.
Steve sighs as he watches Danny go gaga over all the pretty models. He tells him to behave but he already knows that once Danny starts talking about Grace the models will be all over the hot, single dad that his partner is.
When Grace walks off to be cooed over by the models, one of the tall, gorgeous women comes over and kisses Danny. It’s on the cheek and she thanks him for protecting her but Steve’s stomach twists itself into knots over Danny’s smile.
“Let’s go and find my daughter.”
“Okay Danno.” He says softly, smiling as Danny takes his hand and pulls him along.
An hour later, Danny is carrying a sleeping Grace while Steve opens the door. He gets two beers from the fridge and rumages through the cupboard for a snack before he sits down in his corner on the couch. Danny comes back out wearing soft shorts and a shirt. When he plops himself down on the couch, Steve adjusts slightly so Danny can cuddle up to him.
They bicker about a movie before they settle on Venom, Danny pulls his legs onto the couch and drags a blanket over his legs. Steve shifts and settles with his legs on the edge of the couch, forcing Danny into the hollow that creates. He lets his arm casually drop onto Danny’s shoulders, thumb caressing his shoulder. “You know I love you right?”
“I know. I love you too.” Danny answers without looking up and Steve sighs, giving Danny’s shoulder a squeeze before turning back to the TV.
*
Danny is late, Steve is about to call when he hears the car pull up into the driveway. Kono teases Danny when he explains why he’s late, a woman. Steve turns back to the grill, ignoring the familiar twist in his stomach.
Later that night, they wave Chin off, he’s the last to leave. Danny gets busy putting the trash away while Steve fills up the dishwasher. He doesn’t react when Danny sits down at the kitchen table and just quietly keeps his hands busy.
“So, I got her number, you know.” Danny waits a beat before he continues. “Think I should call?”
Steve stills, enough. He has had enough, apparently his words aren’t enough and he needs to show Danny just how much he’s already taken. Taking a deep breath he turns around and in two long strides he’s close enough to pull Danny up from the chair. He doesn’t give Danny time to react and immediately claims his mouth in a hard, near brutal kiss. After a few seconds he realises Danny is kissing him back just as hard and he relaxes his grip. The kiss loses its urgency and after a few minutes of soft kisses they break apart. “No. I don’t think you should call, as a matter of fact I think you should lose her number.”
Danny huffs out a laugh as he cards his fingers through Steve’s hair. “Okay.”
Steve narrows his eyes, “Just like that?”
“Mm yes.”
Danny smiles again before dragging Steve into another kiss. Several long minutes later they come up for air, “Just like that, because you love me.”
Steve suddenly understands, “And you love me.” He states smiling.
