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!

It may not be casual enough for you, but in mmmorpheusq/'s Trading Spaces (http://morpheusqaf.com/OutAndAbout-PartTwo.html), which is a Post S3 story, there's an unusal means of declaration in the following chapter:(http://morpheusqaf.com/OutAndAbout-PartTwo.html
