Chapter 1

Sonny Kalakaua. Cousin of Chin Ho Kelly. Brother of Kono Kalakaua.

He wasn't much of a sociable kid. Went to school in the weekdays, went home and did his homework. On the weekends he would stay home watching DVDs or doing more homework. Only thing he was passionate about was technology.

It started when he was 15, noticing the new trends in technology and how they operate. He started dismantling things like the computer or the television and using their pieces to create something of his own. Guess it wasn't a far-fetched interest since his cousin was Chin Ho Kelly, master of technology. Not until he turned 17 did he realize he wanted to take a course that would appreciate his talents and ideas.

"Technology and Design, seriously?" asked Kono.

"What? They make good money. Plus, I like creating stuff" replied Sonny.

"Well, isn't it kinda boring. Why not take on law enforcement like your old sis?"

"Come on Kono, you know I'm not as kick ass as you are. I like my life and don't wanna get shot at on a daily basis."

"Only if you work for Commander McGarrett, but HPD isn't as bad."

"Not changing my mind. No matter what you or Chin say."

"I'm pretty sure Chin wouldn't mind; now he has a tech nerd pal."

"Shut up!"

"Aww come on brah, you know I'm just teasing." Kono calls out as Sonny walks out of the living room, back to his bedroom.

"Sonny! Sonny!" Kono yells out.

"What?" replies Sonny. He was just finishing up his latest project and didn't appreciate the fact that Kono always interrupted him in the middle of his job.

"Come here!"

Walking to the kitchen, he sees a tall, dark, muscular man standing next to his sister. He has never seen a person look as scary, yet charming as this before.

"Uhm. Who's this?" Sonny asks.

"This is Lieutenant Commander Steve McGarrett, my boss and head of Five-O." replies Kono.

"Okay. What is he doing here?"

Kono was about to reply, when she was interrupted.

"I'm here to ask you to join my task force as a trainee" says Steve.

"I don't know what you mean, but I clearly told my sister that I am not interested in law enforcement."

"Yeah. She told me, but I want you in my team as a researcher and technological designer."

"That- what? I am a technology designer. Just because I like computers, doesn't mean I do research."

Kono gave him a 'you better watch your voice or I'm gonna kick your ass' look. Sonny backed away from the kitchen a little. He meant it when he said he liked his life.

"Yeah, but your sister told me you are a straight A student, which means your intelligence will be valuable to our team."

"I don't know about this. This is kinda far from what I had in mind when I told Kono I wanted to be in technology, Commander McGarrett."

"I'll give you time to think about it." Steve replies. "Come on Kono, let's get back to work."

As Steve walked out of the door, Kono stayed behind for about five seconds to smack Sonny in the back of the head.

"The hell was that?" yelled Sonny.

"You talk to one of my co-workers like that again, I'm gonna cut your tongue out." She runs out the door yelling "Love you! Lock the door!"

It's been four years since he started working at Five-O. Four amazing, stressful, and interesting years.

Now that he is 21, Sonny feels like a man. A man, who likes other men. When he told Kono and the team last year, they were pretty indifferent about it. Chin and Kono told him they would love him no matter what. Danny just asked if he had a boyfriend already, which was kinda awkward, since he had a little crush on the detective. Steve said as long as he was a man of integrity and honor, it doesn't matter what sexual orientation he was. Meanwhile, Lori became his go to when it came to his questions about love and intimacy because he found it awkward talking to his sister about it.

Sonny thought about the fact that he hasn't really fallen in love with a man yet. He's had crushes; Danny was the only one he would have very strange and inappropriate dreams about. But his feelings were more of lust, than love. He figures, it'll come someday. He'll just have to wait till it strikes him hard in his heart. Right now, his focus is on his work and Five-O.
