Title: Text Message

Summary: Danny attempts to get through to Steve.

Disclaimer: Hawaii Five-0 is not mine. I'm just borrowing the concepts and characters for a little while.

Spoilers: 2.20 Ha'alele

A/N: My first attempt at a 100-word drabble.

ooooooo

When Steve refuses to answer his phone yet again, I finally give in and text:

I get it but please PLEASE text your ohana once a day so we know you're OK.

And I do get it. Steve is who he is today because of his parents' deaths. He needs answers and believes Joe has them. He wouldn't be the guy I know if he didn't go after them. I just need reassurance he's alive even if he can't or won't talk to us right now.

Several hours later my phone beeps at an incoming message:

Maika'i no au Kaikua`ana.

ooooooo

The end.

ooooooo

A/N: I debated about what Steve's message would say for the longest time… His text translates to: I'm fine brother.

A drabble really makes you pare down your writing to what's most important. How did I do?

Thanks for reading!
