In light of what they've been through together and have done for the other,  do they need to express their love verbally all of time when their body language and actions speak far more loudly? And this is common in anime (and to the extent, japanese culture). I also find words that aren't just the typical "I love you" but still convey that emotion with the intensity and committment that it deserves to have hold more weight. Kirito, when he verbally expresses his love for Asuna after Kuradeel was slain, said that "everything that he is now belongs to her". I think that it's easy to pick up the "I love you" from such a statement.
