Steve couldn't help but like the cocky detective as they stood guns aimed on each other. He was fresh to the island and moved to be close to his kid. He had to get over the fact that his fathers brains and blood were splattered all over the damn house and he was standing next to the toolbox he hadn't touched since he left Hawaii many years prior. He was running like a bullet from a gun dead set on his mission...his head was all over the place and the young detective was able to keep up.

"Leave the box or get arrested." He said breaking Steve from his thoughts.

"Gonna call for backup?"

"An ambulance." Danny quipped. Steve dropped the box and called the governor.

"Now it's my crime scene." He said sliding his phone back into his pocket, grabbing the toolbox and walking out leaving Danny with his jaw on the floor. Steve went straight to the HPD and told the Captain that the Haole detective was his. Actually, had to call the governor back to verify...badges would probably be a help.

From the precinct he drove straight to Danny's house. "Swung by your precinct, spoke to your Captain. He said you requested a wire be put on someone named Fred Doran." He said letting hitself in.

"Come in." Danny snarked as he watched Steve pick up a framed photo of him with his daughter.

"This your kid?"

"Yeah. Stunning detective work."

"You Don't actually let her stay here do you?" Steve smirked.

"What are you, Nanny 911?"

"So what do you know about this guy? Doran?"

"Oh surely you don't need my help."

"Enlighten me." He said. The banter was what he had missed since his last mission.

"Suspected arms dealer..." Danny rattled off the guys rap sheet and Steve struggled to keep focus.

"What's he got to do with my Fathers case?" He asked.

Once he explained it was like he was instantly back to the mission...Danny however was a couple steps behind. "You got no choice detective, governor gave me jurisdiction and I'm making You my partner." Steve told him. "We're gonna get along great."

In the car, "Who's Danno?" Steve asked after Danny hung up with his daughter.

"Don't."

"Hmm." He dropped it for now...nice to know he was not the only one with skeletons.

Not two minutes later they managed to have bullets flying in there direction. One of those bullets hitting the detective. Steve nearly panicked flashing back to his previous mission but this ended quite differently. It had been a long time since someone was sure enough of himself to stand up to him...let alone punch him in the face. Steve was pissed that he had panicked and Danny was pissed he had been shot, the combination was a site to see.

"How's the arm?" Steve asked to break the silence... Danny began to rant and Steve struggled to keep up... "Jackels and Hyenas?" He clarified...more ranting... "Im sorry...Im sincerely sorry." He gave in, he knew himself well enough to know he needed him...his rules...his stability... if he was doing this, really doing this, forming a team for the Govenor...He wanted Chin. He knew my Dad. He knew the island. There are not many men he would trust with his life.

In the five hours since he landed he managed secured two people for his task force, the governor gave them a space in the palace, and Chin brought in his cousin and bam they had a team.

Back at Steves Dad's place later that evening Danny grabbed himself a beer and sat out on the beach. "I wanna do what I am good at and I want to be reminded that I am good at it. If that means having to put up with your twisted belief you are never wrong, so be it."

There was not much talking as the two sat out on the beach, for only just meeting the two were beacons of hope for a future in Oahu. A future the two men were struggling to see in a positive light. After the sunset they walked back through the house and Danny noticed nothing had been cleaned. Nothing had even been touched. "Hey, uhhh Steve...do you want help getting this..."

Steves eyes instantly filled with tears but he didn't answer, just stared at Danny. "You sit. Im going to clean this up...and you think my place is bad...Just sit." He told the Comander as he walked back into the kitchen grabbing the garbage can, cleaner and paper towels.

Steve watched as Danny found the things he needed on the first try, knowing exactly where things belonged...where his dad had kept them. It eased him to know that for someone to know the house so well that the detective had truly taken his fathers case seriously.

Danny watched Steve as he cleaned up the mans fathers blood and brains. He saw his pained expression with each wipe. It wasn't until it was all cleaned up that Steve finally sat back in the recliner and closed his eyes. "Partners right?" Danny asked setting his hand on Steve's shoulder. Earning a nod he continued, "Means I've got your back."

Seeing the shuddered breath from Steve, Danny sat down on the couch and flipped on the tv flipping quickly to football. He saw Steve's eyes on him but neither man said anything. When the game was over Danny finally looked over and saw his Partner dozing. He clicked off the tv and grabbed a throw that was on the back of the couch and draped it over the man.

When Steve's eyes popped open Danny rest his hand on his shoulder, "Pick you up at seven." It took a few seconds before Steve relaxed and nodded. Danny pat his shoulder twice before removing his hand and letting himself out.

The next day...not even fortyeight hours since Steve landed they had discovered that HPD was dirty. Trust. Fuck. If they cant even trust the police...they couldn't trust anyone. For Steve it was like being back on foreign soil with only his unit to Protect him.

"What kind of police are you?" Sang Min asked.

"The New Kind." Steve told him. They were the good guys. Even a trafficker could see they were different and gave them what they needed. They were going to clean up this island...they were going to clean up HPD in the process.

As soon as Danny hung up from his arguement with Rachel he turned to Steve, "When Gracie was three she tried to say my name and all that came out was Danno." Danny told Steve as they were headed for the freighter...headed for Hesse.

"That's it?" Steve asked. "Its cute." He told him...which got Danny going on a rant again...anger...anger fueled Danny and he needed him fueled with his head sharp if they had half a chance of doing what they needed to do.

After Steve shot Hesse he watched him fall into the ocean. Walking towards Danny's voice he yelled "Get the Coast Guard to find the body."

"What do you want me to do with this one?"

"Book him, Danno." Steve answered.

"What did I tell you about that?" Danny yelled to him before turning his attention back to the cuffed man on the deck. Once the man decided to hold Still Danny turned and watched as all the fight left Steve as he climbed down to the deck of the freighter. He watched as the man fought to stay cocky as he called the Governor and spoke with members of the HPD.

When Chin arrived he tossed Danny the keys to his Camero. "Take him Home." He nodded to Steve. Danny nodded and put his hand on Steve's back leading him off the freighter.

The car ride back to the house was done in silence, except the quick stop for a bag of cheeseburgers from McDonalds and Danny's command to eat. By the time he pulled into the driveway Steve was asleep with his head against the window.

"Steve?" Danny said quietly, when he got no response he reached over and put his hand on his shoulder, shaking gently, "You're home." Steve just mumbled and shifted in the seat.

Danny climbed out of the car and opened the passenger door. He reached across and unbuckled the belt, "Come on Steven." He said lifting the larger mans legs and spinning him. Steve opened his eyes and took hold of Danny hand as he pulled him to a standing position. Danny wrapped his arm around Steve's waist and led him to the front door, still having the key from working his fathers case he unlocked it and led the man inside.

When Steve turned towards the recliner Danny stopped him and led him towards the stairs, "Real bed this time." Danny knew which room was his from his search of the place but let Steve lead the way. When he froze a few steps into the room Danny put his hand on his back and pushed him towards the bed, "Real bed." Danny repeated, eyeing the rocker next to the bed.

Steve sat down and kicked off his boots before putting his head in his hands. "You got him." Danny said with a sad smile as he sat down in the chair next to the bed. "Lay down would ya."

Looking towards Danny, Steve felt his eyes well up and the smaller man pushed Steve's shoulder forcing him to lay down. "Danno." Steve near whispered, and Danny realized he had not given himself the chance to grieve what had happened and was now seeing the young boy who was sent away...who had no living parents. Lost. The amount of trust his partner was giving by showing this side of him was immeasurable.

"Right here Babe." Danny told him using the same voice he reserved for Grace as he moved the chair closer to the bed he put his hand back on Steve's shoulder. Steve curled himself towards him and Danny pulled a blanket over him.

"My Dad is gone." He whispered, with closed eyes he reached an arm towards Danny.

Danny put his hand over Steve's and squeezed, "Danno's here." He whispered back, surprised at the vulnerability the Navy Seal was showing. He watched as the mans face relaxed and Steve slipped into sleep before pulling out his phone and texting Chin asking him to bring a change of clothes for him.

When he heard the motorcycle pull up to the house an hour or so later Danny moved his hand and in his sleep Steve face crunched up as if in pain, "I'll be back in a minute." Danny promised as he tucked the blanket around Steve's shoulder.

"Last time I saw him was his graduation...after the accident his Dad sent them to stay with his sister and then he went to the Naval Academy." Chin said when Danny opened the front door, "Kid didn't cry once...he finally...?"

"Im gonna stay here tonight." Danny answered without actually answering. "Thanks for grabbing my stuff."

"Yeah...about that...you have some serious OCD Brah."

"Whatever." Danny scowled feigning annoyance. "See you in the morning."

"Try to get him to open up to you..."

"I know how to take care of my Partner." Danny stated cutting off the older man.

"You haven't even known him a week...I watched him grow up." Chin explained.

"I will call if we need anything." Danny said relaxing a bit, the man was just trying to take care of his friends son after all.

When Danny made his way back into the now dark house he locked the door behind him and flipped on a lamp to light his way. He turned on the hall light at the top of the stairs as he made his way to his partners childhood bedroom.

"Chin say they found the body?" Steve asked when he walked back in, "You were gone for a long time." His voice shook with a mixture of exhaustion and emotion.

"He brought a change of clothes for me...and said last time he saw you was when you graduated."

"That all he say?" Steve asked sitting up dangling his legs over the edge of the bed.

"Said you haven't been back since the accident...and asked if you were a human." Danny told him, dripping sarcasm. He had read the files, did his background on Steve for his fathers case after all. Danny knew Steve better than anyone even though he had only just met him in person.

"In those words?" Steve quipped back, looking up and studying his partner.

"You want to talk about it?" Danny asked earning a sour face. "Didn't think so."

"You dont have to stay." Steve said quietly as he looked away.

Danny set down the bag Chin delivered on the floor and walked over and sat down on the bed next to him, "It's okay to be human."

"Thought this would feel like home." Steve admitted as he looked at his hands.

"Pineapple infested rock...home...you are crazier than I thought." Danny gave him a smile.

"My sister didn't even come for the funeral." Steve said with a shrug.

"You talk to her?" Steve nodded. "She's younger than you?" Another nod. "Any other family?"

"Aunt."

"I had to leave my family to be with Grace." Danny told him, attempting to form a connection.

"Lucky kid...to have a Dad move around the world to be close..." Steve said with tears in his eyes. Danny wanted to hug him but knew well enough not to push the man back behind his walls.

"When is the last time you slept?" Danny asked as he grabbed two of the pillows, tossing them behind the two of them. When Steve shrugged his shoulders Danny leaned back into the pillow. "Your Dad loved you and your Sister."

"He called me Champ." Steve said, "On the phone...before Victor...that's why I knew to look at the box."

"Your rooms are like shrines...and on the desk...the photos..." Steve leaned back. "You need to sleep."

"I keep hearing it." Steve said referring to the gunshot that killed his father.

"You had a rough week."

"Getting Anton...and losing... then he got himself killed and then Victor killed..." he said his voice shaking. Danny knew he was talking about the mission he had been on to get Anton...one where his friend had been killed.

Danny put his hand on Steve's chest, feeling his heart beating through his shirt. "You gotta breathe." Danny said calmly and once again Steve instinctively curled around the contact. He moved around on the bed, scooting closer to his partner. Steve lifted his head and Danny wrapped his arm around and pulled him into his side. "You are safe here."

He felt his sleeve get wet as the tears fell silently from Steve's eyes. He held tighter to the man as his body shook with each breath until he eventually fell asleep. Danny didn't dare move and sent a text to Chin saying they would be in when they would be in. Then he turned off all alarms on his phone and slid it back into his pocket. "Goodnight." He whispered as he leaned his head against his Partners and closed his eyes.

The sun streaming in the window woke Danny up in the morning and he felt the weight of his partner still asleep next to him. He pulled his phone out and saw it was half past six. He squeezed his arm against Steve and whispered, "Can I have my arm back now?"

Still half asleep, Steve rolled over and faced his partner; the man who a few short days ago had pointed a gun in his face, the man who punched him in the face, the man who held him all night allowing him to get the first full nights sleep in weeks. "Going to uh shower...head in in twenty?" Danny asked him, leaving when Steve gave a small nod. The man who is allowing him to retain his dignity.

After a long day of paperwork Steve walked into Danny's office, "Hey." He said handing an envelope to his partner.

"What, uh? What is this?" Danny asked flipping it in his hand.

"Three nights at kahala hotel... Look I know you're gonna say no but..."

"What is it with you and my living arrangements?" Danny quipped.

"Grace is coming over this weekend right?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, I heard this place has a pool, you can swim with dolphins, just take it."

"Hey. Oh, you look...ah...you look real bad."

"Thank you." Steve told him referring to the night before.

"You're welcome...thank you." Danny said with a smile, maybe Steve was right...they would get along great.
