Brian drops the first ILY casually?

[sakesushimaki.livejournal.com]

Hello! Has anyone ever taken note of fic that has Brian saying those three words (that make our fangirl hearts swoon) in a casual way for the first time? You know, without bombs, any other near-death incidents or any serious diseases nudging him? But not in a huge declaration context either, please! Just something totally undramatic, maybe with the words just slipping out unplannedly? Superextra brownie points if it's IC and not AU, which--as I'm aware--seems kind of impossible. :D

As for what happens after the words are out, I'm not picky. I will take anything from Justin dropping an anvil on his foot (which he could totally be carrying around on an ordinary day) in shock, to him reacting barely fazed and Brian stomping off irritatedly.

Oh, please tell me there's such fic!

Edit: I was supplied with satisfying recs -- thanks everyone!

There's one where they're at the diner and Justin's working. He brings something to the guys' table and one of'em (Em, probably) says something like "that's why we love you." Brian says "that may be why you love him; I love him for entirely different reasons." And then there is a little bit of drama and a little bit of humor and it's really good. And I'd provide a link if I had any clue whatsoever what this fic is! But someone will.

I was thinking about this one but had epic fail in the memory department when it came to title/author.

Now that actually sounds kind of familiar?! :O
Thanks for putting this one out there, I hope someone will know where to find it.
