A/N: Hey everyone! This is my first story so go easy on me. Just so you know, Catherine will be in this, but I hate her so she won't be protrayed too positively (; Also, Grace will of course be in this, but she'll be 7. Comments are greatly appreciated!

It all started on a regular Friday. The day was filled with boring paperwork as there were no new cases to attend to. Danny could see Chin and Kono working at their desks, Kono the most amusing with her frustrated/bored out of her mind look, she had going on. Then there was Steve. His crazy, reckless, idiotic, adventurous, very attractive, outgoing, cute partner. No, he was not in love. He refused to be; they were best friends and that was that...Oh, who was he kidding, he was head over heels.

Steve was bored, and that was a major understatement. He had sat in his chair for practically the whole day doing nothing but paperwork. Not a lot had been accomplished, however, because his mind kept wavering to the short, blue-eyed blonde across the hall. His cute wrinkles that form around his eyes when he laughs, his hand motions when he started ranting, his soft, fluffy hair. Yes, he was in love with his partner. Was he ever going to tell Danny? Hell no.

Glancing at the clock, Steve realized it was finally 5 o'clock and was so relieved. "Hey guys, go ahead and head on home. We can finish it up on Monday."

Kono sighed. "Thank god, I was starting to fall asleep. See ya later boss."

"Kono you were sleeping, I don't know what you mean by "starting"," chuckled Chin as he too, left the building. "See ya Steve."

Steve laughed and waved them out. "Hey Danno, how about some pizza at my place. Pretty sure the Mets are playing tonight?"

"Pizza sounds fantastic right now Steven. No pineapples though. Don't think I didn't notice that sly grin you unsuccessfully tried to hide from me just now. I know you too well buddy." Way too well.

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Steve replied with an oblivious, innocent look on his face as they walked out of the building.

"I'll head on home and shower and pick up the pizza on the way to your place. I feel all icky and sweaty and need to shower, so yes, I do have to stop by my place. Sound good?" Danny asked, excited to finally get to spend some alone time with Steve. With the kidnapping case earlier in the week, they hadn't had much time to hang out.

Steve nodded, "See you in 30."

Sitting down on the couch, they were arguing back and forth while enjoying their delicious pizza. Steve noticed that every time Danny would start arguing, he would move his whole body, slowly inching closer to Steve. Whether this was on purpose or he was doing it unconsciously, Steve liked it.

"Steven the Red Sox suck. I don't care what you say, I will forever think they suck. Mets all the way."

Honestly, Steve could care less about baseball, but he always loved to get Danny all riled up. "I'm just saying Danny, have you seen the stats for this season so far? The Mets aren't doing too hot. The Red Sox on the other-" Steve was interrupted by the sound of the doorbell.

"Well go get it Steve. It'll give me time to cool down and think about an intelligent response to whatever bullshit you were about to sprout on me."

Steve grinned and winked at him while walking away. He opened the door to see a middle-aged woman with blonde hair staring at him. "Hi, I'm looking for a Steve McGarrett?"

"That's me. How can I help you?" Steve asked curiously, noticing something moving behind the lady.

"My name is Lexi Scott. I work for Child Services. I'm here about your daughter."
