Pairing: McKono forever
Disclaimer: not mine so whatever
Spoilers: none
A/N: If you haven't read my last story "So Unexpected" then this might not make sense. But if you still want to read this, go ahead. I suggest you to read the other one too and leave me a review,obviously.
This chapter is sorta short thought, my apologies.
Sorry it took so long to post it! love you all so very much.
Kudos to my beta, who is the best beta ever.
ENjoy and Review!
We have a system and it works for us; we're not living together, we're not engaged. We're just there for each other, you know? And it works, even though other people seem to find it strange and by 'other people' I mean Danny. Danny finds it strange because he just doesn't get how this situation can work so perfectly for us when he hasn't popped the question yet. For Chin it's different because Steve actually helped him understand how our current situation fit us perfectly, so he didn't question us at all.
This is how it works. Steve lives in his house, I live in mine. He stops by every morning to check on Elisa and I, have breakfast, hang around with us for a bit and then we go to work together. Then he drops me home, stays for dinner and then goes back to his own place again. He stayed once when he was too tired to drive (and I was too scared to let him drive) and he felt asleep on the couch with Elisa asleep on his chest. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
Then we got to work and Danny started once again with all the questions which he only asked me because he knew Steve's reaction wasn't going to be as good as mine.
"Danny, please stop it," I complained, but he knew I was going to, because I was tired of explaining myself all the time. He did this when Steve and I arrived together, when we talked about having lunch or about buying diapers and milk. That's when curiosity hit Danny.
"I'm sorry, but this system of yours does not make sense to me at all," he speaks, moving his hand dramatically (as usual).
"Well it makes sense to us and that's what it matters."
"But could this make sense? I mean you guys spend an awful amount of time together, have lunch together, dinner together and…
"It perfectly fine for us."
"Not to mention Elisa," he states. "What are you gonna tell that kid when she grows up? Daddy and I are together but we're not together? We see each other every day, do practically everything together but daddy still doesn't pop the question because we just make sense, like this!"
"I'm pretty sure Steve has his reason for not… doing that."
"Maybe he doesn't want to pop the question because he's afraid of what you're gonna say."
"Meaning?"
"Perhaps you are the one who just doesn't want to move forward."
Truth be told, all that I've wanted to do since this system of us started was move forward. But the fear of breaking everything we've created, of forcing Steve to do something he doesn't want to for the sake of our relationship or the sake of Elisa made me erase that thought out of my head.
I love Steve. I won't lie about it because at this point seems impossible.
"Can we stop talking about me and Steve for once? Because that seems to be the only thing you want to talk about."
"Fine. I'll stop for now," he says, "but I'm telling you, the only thing you're doing now is lying to yourself."
"I'm not…"
"Dropping the subject right now."
He's always right about what our relationship is gonna turn out to be, and it seems like everyone is but me. Which is why I never come to Danny for advice. He just figures he has to give it anyways.
