Four Times Bodie Might As Well Have Said ‘I Love You’, And One Time He Actually Did by callistosh65

One of my favourite "four times" fics. A very satisfying read, where intense emotions are portrayed with a light touch and the progression in the lads' closeness is evoked through few but significant gestures and words. Certain objects, such as Bodie's leather jacket, take on special significance, become almost a metaphor for the lads' relationship. And the final section has one of the best "first time" scenes I've read in the fandom.
