N/B This is the second story in my 'Sentinel and Guide' universe, the first story is called 'Impressions and Sensations' it is an NCIS story Gibbs/DiNozzo pairing. This is going to have a minimum of three stories. Thanks to PhoenixWytch for the title and I enjoyed chatting to a few of you on twitter.
Chapter One
Steve stood and stared out over the ocean. He loved the feel of the sand under his bare feet and the smell of the ocean. Well, he did once he managed to get his senses under control. He hated that he had to keep this a secret, but he was afraid of what the government would do to him. There were a few in the SEALs that knew what he was, they had helped him a lot. Freddie had been one of those that had been there for him the longest, so had Catherine.
It had killed him when he lost his father; he could hear every single part of that last moment before his death. Steve had run through things in his mind over and over again, trying to figure out extra clues from the noise. He also wondered if he had said something different that things would have ended up differently. Steve knew that wasn't true. If had given Anton over to his brother, which was never going to happen, his father would still have been murdered. One of the good things that came out of this nightmare was that he could go in the reserves, without people wondering why; admittedly he would have rather had his dad and suffered. It had been getting so hard to hide what he was from his fellow team-mates it wouldn't be long until they knew something. The main problem was that he kept zoning out.
Catherine had been superb and managed to find out about sentinels with no one else finding out what she had been doing. At that time, he had hoped she would have been his guide it would have made things a hell of a lot easier, but as time went on Catherine found it more and more difficult to bring him out of these zone outs.
Steve was terrified that somehow he had missed his guide that they had wandered past him, and he wasn't aware enough to pick them out. That was until on that fateful day in his father's garage. He came face to face with a man who held a gun on him. That was when he felt it, a connection. A weight seemed to be lifted, he could breathe easier. That was when he knew Danny Williams was his guide. He had gone to the Governor to let her know that he needed the detective on his team as he had been dealing with the murder before now. Steve would have done anything, which included begging if had to.
Now, though Steve had a problem. How did he tell Danny about himself? Tell him that Danny was his guide, and that he couldn't function without him. What if Danny rejected him? Steve took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He wasn't even going to touch on the attraction he had for the other man. This was something new for him. Was it because of the connection they had a sentinel and guide, or did he think that Danny was just downright hot? It could have been the combination of the two.
Steve was about to strip off his t-shirt and cargo's to go for a swim, but that was when the smell of Danny hit him. It made him so hard, and desperate. He wanted to take his friend into his arms and kiss him. Steve wanted to pull him down to the sand and explore every inch of that compact muscular body. On top of all that he had the urge to protect, love and cherish his partner. It was getting more and more difficult each day to keep these emotions hidden away. He was lucky that Danny talked a lot and waved his arms around when he did so. That meant Steve could use his hearing and sight, which caused him to zone out less. He was afraid that soon it wasn't going to be enough. There was something missing, and to get that sorted out he was going to have to tell Danny.
'Steve, is everything ok?' Danny called out as he walked across the beach to his friend. He frowned when Steve didn't even look around at him. 'What's going on?' Danny asked more softly when he finally reached the SEAL's side. 'Steve?' Danny placed a hand on his shoulder. He watched as Steve turned and looked at the hand, and then his attention was on Danny's face. There was an expression of such focus that took the detective's breath away. It made his body tighten in such a way that had only ever happened with women and to never this extreme.
'We need to talk.' Steve choked out the words, turned to his house and stalked in.
Danny frowned, and then started to bite his lower lip. 'Those words are never a good thing.' He mumbled, but started to follow his partner back.

When Danny walked through the house, he found Steve sat on the couch with his head in his hands.
'Steve, babe, what is it? What's wrong?' Danny whispered as he sat down next to him.
Steve looked up, and his eyes were full of such pain and fear.
'I need to tell you something, but I'm not sure how you are going to take it.' Steve licked his lips nervously.
'You can tell me anything, you know that.' Danny reached out and squeezed Steve's shoulder. He felt the other man lean into the touch and softly sigh.
'Danny, there are things about me you don't know.' Steve started to explain.
Danny laughed. 'Babe, there are lots of things about you I don't know. You keep saying it's classified that's why.'
'Damn it Danny, can you please stop with the colourful commentary. This important.' Steve replied angrily as he got to his feet and paced around for a little bit.
Danny looked at him terrified; there was something terribly serious going on. 'Ok, I'm sorry Steve. What is it you're trying to tell me?'
Steve took a deep breath, moved, so he stood in front of Danny and then went down onto his knees. He placed his hands on Danny's legs and started to rub them softly.
'Danny, I am something known as a sentinel, and you are my guide.' Steve blurted out, his head bowed and waited.
