As much as I love this song I do not own it. That right belongs to Enrique Iglesias. I also do not own the beautiful characters of Daniel Williams and Steven McGarrett. If I did…you would know :D
Let me be your hero
It was a hot Hawaiian day as always. He had the day off it, was a nice day to go to the beach. Grace was at Rachel's and he had nothing else to do. He got in his car and headed to Waikiki
*Flashback*
Would you dance, if I asked you to dance?
Would you run, and never look back?
Would you cry, if you saw me crying?
And would you save my soul, tonight?
It was a beautiful day. They were going for a ride in his car. Steve at the wheel as always, the sun was just coming over the horizon. They were headed to the beach. Steve knew he hated the beach, but he said he had a surprise for him.
Would you tremble, if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh? Oh please tell me this
Now would you die, for the one you love?
Hold me in your arms, tonight
They stopped at Waikiki, it was still very early in the morning so no one was around as yet. They got out of the car then Steve got down on one knee. He had just asked him to get married. Was this what happiness was? Would it always be like this? He could live like this forever.
I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
They were standing hand in hand when they were ambushed. It wasn't supposed to be like this. They were supposed to have the day off. It was going well until Steve received a phone call a few minutes before Wo Fat came.
Would you swear, that you'll always be mine?
Or would you lie? Would you run and hide?
Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind?
I don't care you're here, tonight
"Run Danno!" "I said Run!" He was stupid to think that Super-SEAL would have made it out of that one alive. He should have gone back for him, he should have stopped him. Done something, but when Steve said run….he ran.
I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
He was pushing Steve through the hosptial doors. This wasn't supposed to happen. They were supposed to get married. There was supposed to be a sunset wedding with all of their friends. It was supposed to end when they were too old to see each other, too deaf to hear what the other was saying. It was supposed to be for forever.
Oh, I just wanna hold you
I just wanna hold you, oh yeah
Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind?
Well I don't care you're here, tonight
"There was too much blood loss. We did all that we could Detective Williams. I am sorry for your loss." What was he supposed to do now? How would he carry on? He was no longer here. Wo Fat was dead, the rest of the the Yakuza were either behind bars or in intensive care.
I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain, oh yeah
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
*End flashback*
Instead of having their wedding they were holding a one year memorial service for Steve. He remembered that day, as if it was just yesterday. It was beautiful, their friendship, their love for each other. His wit left, he could no longer remember what it was like to laugh, he couldn't remember what it was like to smile, he just remembered his hand, his fingers interlocking his lovers and giving him that last kiss.
I can be your hero, I can kiss away the pain
(I can be your hero, baby)
And I will stand by you, forever
You can take my breath away
You can take my breath away
An' I can be your hero
He smiled, he would never love again; but, the one he loved would never be gone.
"Love you babe" he whispered softly as he turned from the headstone. The wind whispered across his forehead and he could swear he heard a soft "I love you too Danno", in return.
