Summary: A Thunderstorm rolls in
A/N: If any one wants to hear some Hawaiian lullabys just use youtube, they have a few good ones I had in mind when i wrote this.
Steve woke up to the sound of heavy rain hitting the roof. He'd always loved the rain, how it cleaned up and the fresh smell after. Of course being Hawaii, it didn't rain often but when it rained, it poured.
A storm was moving in. Normally he would have loved it, lying awake in the middle of the night listening to the rain hitting the roof, and the thunder in the distance. But his lover hated thunder. Danny would never admit to anyone, not even to him, that he was afraid of anything. That is why he just said he hated thunder. It saddened Steven, that a sound he loved so much would reduce his lover to a shaking mess.
Tightening his arms around Danny, Steve listened to the first sound of thunder in the distance. It would wake Danny soon as the storm moved closer towards them.
Steve was happy that storms was such a rare occurrence on the island, he didn't like his partner being hurt or scared. And this was not something he could fight, pull a gun on or threaten in to submission. It made him feel helpless.
Danny started shaking before he even woke up, and he startled awake with a gasp when the thunder was right over the house. Whimpering, Danny burrowed close into Stevens side and Steve pulled him in tight.
The thing about Hawaiian storms was that even if they didn't come around often ,they lasted for a long time instead. This one would probably last all night and the next day. This meant that Danny would be tense during work, and that meant a day of doing paperwork for them. It was not something Steve looked forwards to, but right now, his focus was on his shaking partner.
He didn't know why Danny was so afraid of thunder, it wasn't like it never stormed in New Jersey. Steve found himself wondering what Rachel had done with Danny when they had been married, knowing her though, she probably just left him alone. Rachel seemed like a woman that thought that men where suppose to be the strong ones, Danny being a cop didn't help either.
Leaving Danny alone though, made it so much worse. The last storm that had hit, Steve had been outside swimming and when he came in he found Danny curled up, trembling and crying. It was the first and only time he had seen his love cry. Holding Danno tight seemed like the only way to keep him from working himself in to full blown panic.
It made Steve think of his mother, who held him and sang to him when he was small and woke from nightmares. It is what gave him the idea to sing to Danno.
Picking an old Hawaiian lullaby his mother use to sing to him, Steve started humming it before drifting into the words. Maybe he couldn't hold the tone or even remember all the words but it had the desired effect as Danny slowly relaxed. Steven went from the lullaby to some other Hawaiian songs he knew. Somewhere around there Danny fell back asleep but Steve kept signing until he ran out of words and then he just hummed softly in Danno's ear.
It seemed like such a simple thing, just singing to Danny but it worked and Danny woke up the next day relax, ready to take on anything. Which was good since they were off chasing kidnappers.
