"I got somethin' to tell ya," Don states when he's done with his plate of pork-fried rice and chicken wings.

Danny stops eating and looks up from his lo mein. "Yeah?"

"This ain't really the right time..."

Danny sighs and puts his fork down. "Nah, come on, what's buggin' ya?"

"It's nothin', I just gotta... say somethin'..."

"Then say it," Danny shrugs. The way Don's ending his sentences, like they're not actually done, is started to annoy him.

"But it ain't that easy, Dan."

"Donnie, just spit it out and boom, it's done."

"All right... well I..." Don stops and takes a deep breath, wishing he could pause life for a moment to give him some more time.

"Boom, come on Donnie, just say it," Danny encourages, shoving lo mein in his mouth again.

"All right, all right, I..." He clears his throat and coughs out a 'Love you'.

Danny can't help but smile at that pathetic attempt. "Yer such a girl, Donnie, but hey, I love ya too."

Don grins, his cheeks tinged with pink, "Good, then you can clean up," He states and gets up.

Danny takes a minute to register what Don had said, the lo mein was clouding his mind. By the time he decides to argue with the statement, Don's all ready opening the door to the bedroom.

"I knew I shoulda made him wait..." Danny mutters, shaking his head.
