This is my first fanfic and I'd really like to hear your thoughts.
English is not my mother tongue, so I'm sorry for any mistakes.
On with the story!
"I'm on my way, I had to drop Grace of at school at 9 o'clock for her field trip. I forgot to tell you." Danny was in a hurry, but of course everything had to be against him.
He stopped at a red light. "Traffic's quite busy, so it can be a while before I'm there." The light turned green and Danny pulled up. He looked to his left just in time to see a car coming at him full speed. He cursed under his breath, there was no way he could avoid being hit by that car.
'Just my luck, being in a car crash because some bastard ran a red light.' was Danny's last rational thought before the car hit him and then he was in a world of pain.
Steve heard Danny curse under his breath and then there was a loud crash. "Danny? Danny! What happened? Come on, Danny, answer me!" He heard Danny's laboured breath, but Danny didn't answer him.
He traced Danny's phone and hurried to his truck. He used the sirens to justify his driving, which could be called reckless, and smiled to himself as he could just hear Danny ranting. He reached he crash site in record time. He jumped out of his car and didn't even bother to grab his keys. He flashed his badge while hurrying to be at Danny's side.
Danny's car had been T-boned at the driver's side and there was no way Danny would be able to leave the wreck by himself.
Steve reached the Camaro and was relieved to see that there already was a medic in the passenger's seat.
Danny's neck was in a cervical collar and there was an oxygen mask on his face. The medic was trying to insert an IV needle in Danny's arm, but Danny moaned and tried to pull his arm away.
"Danny, stay still, it's okay." Steve sat in the back of the car and carefully put his had on Danny's shoulder.
"Steve?" Danny asked, sounding stunned.
"Yes babe, I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere."
The medic had inserted the needle and connected a bag of fluid to it.
"Sir, it's going to take a while to get you out of this car, so I need you to stay still for me. Are you in pain?"
Danny snorted. "Am I in pain? What do you think?" Danny groaned after finishing his sentence and had trouble catching his breath.
"Danny, calm down." Steve looked at his partner, worry evident in his eyes.
Danny was pale and his breath was still laboured. There were lines of pain in his face and his eyes were watering.
"Okay, that was a stupid question. What hurts the most?"
Danny didn't even have to think about it. "My leg is killing me... My side is a close second."
"We'll try to get you out of here as soon as possible. In the meantime I'll give you something for the pain." The medic readied a syringe and emptied it into the IV.
All this time the firemen on the scene were cutting the roof of the Camaro. The other car had been removed from the scene and Danny's door had already been cut of, which allowed the medics to splint his left leg. They also splinted his arm,even though it didn't seem to be broken. Steve kept talking to Danny to keep him calm and it seemed to work, even though Danny was obviously in pain.
Eventually they were able to get Danny out of the car. Danny let out a pained cry and lost consciousness because of the pain the movement caused. Danny was immobilized on a back board and strapped to the gurney.
"How's he doing?" Steve anxiously watched every move the medics made.
"He's hanging in there. His vitals are quite strong, but I do suspect some internal bleeding. His leg looks pretty bad, though." As soon as Danny was in the back of the ambulance Steve jumped in. Danny was starting to regain consciousness and even though it was probably a good thing, Steve almost wished Danny had stayed unconscious for a little longer. It was obvious Danny was in pain.
"Steve?" Danny tried to look around for Steve, but his head was kept from moving by the cervical collar.
"I'm right here, buddy." Steve grabbed Danny's free hand and squeezed it tightly.
Danny wearily smiled at him and closed his eyes. Suddenly he opened them. "Don't tell Grace yet. She was really looking forward to that trip and I don't want to ruin it for her. Just don't tell her yet."
"I won't, I promise."
"Thanks, Steve. Can you please talk to me? I'd really like you to distract me."
"Sure buddy. How was your weekend with Grace? Was she able to convince you to go to the beach with her?"
"She did. Of course she wore this tiny bikini. I really have something against that. When we got home there was sand in places it shouldn't be, so all together I still hate the beach."
Steve bit his lip to hold in a smile. "I didn't expect anything else, Danno," he managed to say with a straight face. He gave Danny's hand a squeeze and was glad to see Danny relax a little.
''Thank you for this." Danny said after being silent for a while.
"Anytime, babe, anytime."
