Chapter One

It had been a long day for Danny as he headed back to the Five-0 headquarters. He should have left hours ago. As he walked in the darkness surrounded him. He knew Chin and Kono had gone they had sent him a quick text. It looked like Steve had gone too. He walked into his office and shut down his computer. Danny couldn't wait to get back to his shit-hole of an apartment, but then he sighed. He couldn't rest straight away as he had to continue to pack things up. Danny had to move out again. They were tearing the damn thing down once again he had to stay in a hotel for the moment. All of his things and crap had to be stored away.

As Danny walked outside he took a deep breath and walked towards were his car was parked, he frowned at the empty spot. He reached into his pocket and couldn't find his keys. That was when he spots Steve's truck still sitting there.

"Asshole." Danny mutters. He couldn't believe Steve had left in his car and never told him. That meant that he had to get a taxi home. He was going to kill his partner when he saw him next.

XXXXX

Steve walked into the office grinning. It had been a fantastic weekend with Cath. His time with her still was not over; they had the rest of the week. There was nothing serious between them, they were friends with benefits, and that was the way he liked it.

Chin and Kono looked around as Steve walked over to them.

"Where's Danny?" Chin asked.

"I haven't seen him." Steve stared at them with confusion.

"What, you haven't seen him all weekend?" Kono questioned.

"No, I've been with Cath." Steve didn't understand what was wrong.

"You have to be kidding." Kono muttered as she turned away.

Chin took a deep breath. "Steve, brah. How did you get home on Friday?"

"I drove."

"In what vehicle?" Chin said slowly as if he were speaking to someone dim.

"The cam ohhh." Steve stopped suddenly.

"Yes oh." Kono interrupted. "Not only did you take Danny's car, but you had driven here in your truck, and you had both sets of keys."

"So Danny had no way of getting home."

"You also forgot about this weekend?" Chin added.

"What was going on this weekend?" Steve asked.

"You were helping Danny move his stuff into storage?"

"Fuck." Steve sighed. "I didn't mean, I forgot. Danny's going to kill me."

With that Danny walked in smiled briefly at them and walked to Steve. He held out his hand. "Can I please have my car keys back?"

Steve grabbed them from his pocket and handed them over. "Look Danny, I'm really….."

Danny turned and walked into his office and shut the door behind him. All three of them watched as he sat down, turned his computer on and started going through the files on his desk.

"He didn't yell at me, or rant. That's just wrong."

XXXXX

The day continued on slowly as they had no new case, all that was left to do was paperwork and lots of it. Steve kept glancing up and looking into the opposite office just hoping to catch Danny's eye. It never happened. Every time he tried to talk to his partner, Danny was just polite and then returned to his desk. It was driving Steve crazy.

Finally he had enough, he went over and knocked on Danny's office door and went in.

"Danny, I'm sorry I forgot. Tell me what I have to do to make it up to you. What is going to be my punishment?"

"There is nothing to make up for." Danny said softly. "There is no punishment."

"Why not?" Steve didn't like this one bit.

"I now understand how you feel about me. I'm glad I found out now." Danny stood and headed out to Kono and gave her the file.

"So do you want to get a beer after work or something?" Steve asked as he followed him out.

"Steve, it's obvious we are just work colleagues. You don't have to make it anything more. You already made it clear this weekend."

Steve opened and closed his mouth. He turned and looked at the cousin's.

"I don't know how you are going to get out of this one brah." Chin said softly. He hated the fact that things had changed.

XXXXX

The rest of the day had passed slowly, and Danny tried his best to keep his feelings hidden. He managed to cope with the fact that he had fallen in love with Steve McGarrett because they were friends, but now he felt lost.

Danny looked up as Catherine Rollins walked in hugged and kissed Steve. He couldn't help the jealousy that tore away inside of him. Glancing over he noticed Chin and Kono staring at him with shocked looks on their faces. That secret was obviously out of the bag. He needed to make sure that they never said anything or hinted to Steve about what Danny's feelings were.

Danny kept his eyes away from Steve's office as he made his way to Chin and Kono.

"Don't." He said quickly.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Kono sounded hurt.

"I had enough of a problem admitting it to myself." Danny chuckled humorously.

Chin looked up. "Who's that?"

"Don't know, maybe it's a case?" Kono's voice was hopeful.

"How can I help you?" Steve asked politely after leaving his office.

"You can't." A masculine voice drawled.

Danny froze, a smile appearing on his face. He knew that voice.

"Then who are you?" Steve muttered not liking people that wasted his time.

"We be the cavalry."

Danny laughed as he walked over to him.

"Eliot Spencer, what brings you to this neck of the woods?"

"You do Danny." With that Eliot pulled Danny into his arms and kissed him.

It had been so long for Danny that he melted into the kiss and wrapped his arms around Eliot's neck.

Steve's mouth dropped open in shock.
