Here's My Heart Now Give Me Yours


Part Two

Saturday turned out to be the best day Steve had in a long time. Danny and Grace came over around three and it was the three of them for the rest of the afternoon. Just like old times Steve and Grace took to the water, swimming, playing, splashing around while Danny watched from the shore. Eventual Steve needed to place the food on the grill so he left the water and took his turn as watcher as Danny and Grace built sand castles. There was a moment when Danny had walked back into the house to take a call from Kono and it took all of Steve's composure not to rip the phone from Danny's hand and throw it into the ocean. Instead he took calming breaths and focused on the food. When Danny came out a few minutes later he smiled and gave Danny a wave.

Finally the food was done and eaten and the trio settled onto the sofa to watch a little television. It didn't take long for Grace to fall asleep after such a fun filled day. Her head was in Danny's lap and the father was currently running his fingers through her hair.

"So how exactly did you and Kono hook up?"

Danny was taken back by the question and tilted his head to the side. For Danny, the question wasn't weird he just never thought Steve would be interested in the story. But whatever the reason, he was so Danny decided to tell him. "Well Steven if you must know it was a few weeks ago after we finished the Adams case and we were all at the bar. You and Chin had already called it a night leaving me and Kono by our lonesome. So, we started talking and whatnot and realized that we had a lot more in common than we realized. The next day she came into my office and asked me out."

"Really. Just like that."

"Yes just like that," replied Danny, rolling his eyes. "I don't know how you do things in your Army world but out here, in the real world, when two people discover that they would like to spend more time together in each other's presence one said person must ask the other said person out as a means to to just that. And usually that means dinner at a nice restaurant but can, however, involve lunch or breakfast."

"For the final time Danny I was in the Navy," Steve growled as he rolled his eyes. "And I know how dating works I'm just surprised you said yes, that's all."

"Why wouldn't I. Kono is a very attractive woman who is very smart and kick-ass. Not to mention she's a cop so she won't bitch about my working hours since she'll probably doing the same thing." Danny paused for a moment to run his fingers through his own hair. "Besides," he began again with a fallen face and sad eyes. "Not like anyone else was asking if you get my drift."

'Danny,' Steve wanted to call out before pulling the blond into a passionate kiss that would wipe look off Danny's face forever but he couldn't do that...yet. So he used every ounce of composure he had to remain still. 'If only you knew,' thought Steve as he removed his gaze from Danny's face back down to Grace. "You gonna tell Grace about you and Kono," Steve suddenly felt the need to ask as he continued to watch Danny's movements.

Danny shrugged and let out a sigh. "Not sure. I mean I like Kono but I don't really know if this thing with her is going to last. And I really don't want to get Grace's hopes up since she really likes Kono, a lot. In fact she likes all you guys. Calls you her new ohana who keeps her Danno safe from the bad guys."

"We are you family now Danny and there's nothing we wouldn't do for either of you."

"Especially you."

"Especially me," replied Steve softly. They sat there staring at each other, neither one saying a word as their soft breathing filled the room. Finally Steve couldn't take it anymore and slid over closer to Danny, grabbing Danny's hand with his own. "Danny I...there's something I need to tell you-"

"Yeah."

"I'm in-" Steve began when suddenly Grace began to stir in Danny's lap and her eyes fluttered opened . Steve quickly moved his hand away from Danny's and slid back. "Grace."

"Danno can we go home now?" she asked softly, eyes closing again. "I'm sleepy."

"In a minute Grace, Uncle Steve was about to tell me something."

Steve let out a disappointed sigh, the moment was now lost. "Why don't you take her home," Steve sighed again and stood up. "She's really tired and you look like you could some sleep as well."

Danny sighed but nodded in agreement as he sat Grace up before standing up himself. "I guess I'll see you Monday."

"Yeah." Steve watched Danny lift Grace up and carry her out of the house and to the car. He continued to staring from the doorway, sighing sadly as he watched Danny drive away into the night.


Sunday proved uneventful for Steve as he got up earlier that morning and spent the entire day cleaning. A habit that came to life whenever he was emotionally charged. Just like Wednesday Steve had been so close to telling Danny how he felt and once more the opportunity was snatching right from under him. It was if the cosmos and universe was working against him and it left him wondering if he should just give up the fight. That night he went to bed tired, frustrated, and lovesick. All feelings Steve didn't like having. Because of those feelings Steve spent the night in a restless state tossing and turning while trying to eliminate all dreams of Danny from his mind.


The next morning after finally getting a couple hours of sleep, he woke up and found that he was late for work. Forgoing his usual morning activities, he jumped in the shower, got dressed, and raced out the door.

He arrived at the headquarters and choose to take the stairs instead of the elevator as a replacement for missing his morning run. Opening the stairwell door he immediately realized that there were other people occupying the hall. Once again he found Danny and Kono in the hallway alone but this time they were doing more than just holding hands. They were...kissing. Danny against the wall while Kono leaned over him. And not one of those quick 'I see you later' pecks either. A deep passionate kiss, full of tongue and lips that would make a holy woman blush and look away. Only Steve couldn't look away. No matter how badly he wanted to he couldn't.

Luckily for him the couple noticed him and pulled apart before he had a chance to say anything. Steve noticed that while Danny looked embarrassed Kono had a wide grin on her face."

"Sorry boss," grinned Kono. "I know we promised to keep this out of the office but Danny gave me some great news." She paused for a second as though she was waiting for Steve to say something but quickly took the opportunity away. "Danny's decided to tell Grace about us being a couple."

Steve felt an invisible fist punch him in the stomach. "What!" he gasped.

Kono continued to smile brightly. "Yeah, it's it great. Danno and I are finally making it official."

The fist came back, this time slamming him in the face before hitting him in the stomach again. He could feel the wind being knocked out of him as he glared at Kono before turning his gaze towards Danny, who was still hiding behind Kono. "She calling you Danno now?" he asked, growling angrily.

"Yeah," shrugged Danny nonchalantly. "With you and Grace calling me that repeatedly I decided to stop fighting it and let the nickname stick. Now it's a free for all."

He opened his mouth to say something, anything but found himself unable to. What could you say when you see the person you want to be with more than anything completely involved with someone else. Steve realized that he couldn't compete anymore. Danny was official off the market and in the hands of Kono, who wasn't about to let Danny go without a fight. Finally Steve couldn't take it anymore and stormed past the couple and into the headquarters. He didn't even bother to speak to Chin who was standing there at the main computer looking at something. Instead he walked into his office and slammed the door shut.

Steve didn't even hear the glass shake, he was too busy trying to calm down and not throw his office chair through the window. In the middle of his efforts to control himself, his office door swung open and Steve didn't have to turn around to see exactly who it was.

"What the hell is your problem?" hissed Danny as he folded his arms across his chest.

"Danny leave," growled Steve without turning around. Danny was the last person he wanted to see him like this.

"No way in hell McGarrett. Not until you tell me what you're freaking problem is."

"I don't have a problem. I just need you to leave now...please," Steve practically begged as he ran his fingers through his hair.

"I can't do that Steve, not until you tell me what's wrong."

Steve finally turned around and let Danny see his face for the first time. His face was sullen, lips pouting, and eyes full of pain. "I thought I could handle it," he whispered as he took a few steps closer to Danny. "I thought I could handle seeing you two together but I can't. Not when I'm...not when I want-"

"You're not making any sense Steve."

"Then maybe you should leave before I say something we both regret!" he yelled this time hoping Danny would do as he asked.

But Danny was to stubborn to leave in the middle of his partner having a breakdown so he stayed there, glaring at Steve and waiting for a response. "No."

"Dammit Danny. I can't be happy for you and Kono when I know she's not the one you should be with."

"Could you, please, for once in your life talk like a human being and not some cyborg robot who's incapable of forming a coherent sentence."

The game was over. "Okay, if that's the way you want it I'll show you what my problem is," growled Steve and before he stopped to think about what he was doing, he grabbed Danny by the waist, pulled him forward, and crashed their lips together. He heard Danny let out a gasp but he didn't pull away. No, this was his moment and he was going to show Danny how he felt whether the blond wanted it or not.

Twisting them around, Steve pushed Danny until they were at his desk and with one final push he knocked Danny on top. This time, Danny let out a staggered breath and Steve waisted no time thrusting his tongue inside Danny's mouth. Steve couldn't keep the smile off his face as he heard Danny moan underneath him.

Danny didn't pull back and as their tongue's wrestled for dominance, he snaked his arm around Steve's neck and pulled the taller man even closer. This time it was Steve who let out the elicited moan. So caught up in their present situation, neither men heard the door open.

"Oh my God!" shrieked Kono when she saw them passionately kissing against the table.

Steve scurried back away from Danny as if he had been burned and turned to see Kono standing at the door, hands on her hips. "What have I done?" Steve whispered to himself as guilt overwhelmed him forced him to let out staggered breaths. He couldn't believe what he had done to not just his team mate but his friend. "I'm so sorry Kono, this is my fault. Please...don't blame Danny I did this. I did this," stuttered Steve, unable to look Kono in the eyes as he cried out.

Danny moved away from the table and placed a firm hand on Steve's shoulder. "Steve calm down-"

"I can't calm down Danny," hissed Steve, shrugging Danny's hand away and taking a few steps back. "I kissed you even though I knew you and Kono are together and I...I'm really sorry." Running his fingers through his hair, he tried to keep himself from hyperventilating but it wasn't working.

"I can't believe you Danny," Kono sighed, shaking her head. "I can't believe you couldn't wait two more days before getting Steve to jump you in the office. Now I owe Chin fifty bucks."

For the first time Steve turned around and stared at Kono who was still standing in the doorway with her hands on her hips. That's when he realized that the brunette was glaring or seething but in fact she was smiling. Kono was smiling at both him and Danny. Now Steve was really confused. "Wait...what-"

Kono continued to grin. "Danny and I aren't really dating," she stated. "We just said that we were to make you jealous."

"Why would you want me jealous?"

"Because Rambo," scoffed Danny as he entered the conversation. "I got tired of waiting for you to make the first move so I decided to do something about it. Especially after you started pushing me away because you were scared of your feelings."

"Yup. Thus the plan to 'Get Steve to admit his feelings by making him jealous' was born," finished Kono.

"By pretending that you and Danny were dating."

Danny smirked. "Well it worked didn't it."

Kono's grin got even wider as she nodded her head in agreement with Danny. "You gotta admit it boss you were so jealous. I actually thought you might fire me when we told you that we were dating. And I thought you were going to kill me when you saw us kissing."

"I should fire you right now for playing such a cruel and inhumane joke on your boss," pouted Steve, folding his arms as he continued to look back and forth between the two.

"Hey don't blame Kono, it's your fault."

Steve gasped. "My fault. How is this my fault?"

Danny rolled his eyes. "It's your fault because instead of being the man you claim to be and admitting that you were in love with me you pushed me away and starting treating me like I didn't exist. I'm not an idiot Steven."

"So none of this was real."

"Most of it no but the kiss in the hall this morning, that was real," Kono replied, smiling.

"Yeah you seemed to be pulling away again so I told Kono we needed step it up a notch," added Danny, shrugging. "When we knew you were coming Kono threw me against the wall and let me have it. It was pretty good if you want to know."

"I don't," hissed Steve as he threw a glare in Kono's direction. "I really don't."

Danny smirked, throwing up his hands conceding. "Alright...alright."

"Okay fine, so this was one big scam but how did you know I would catch you kiss...in the act." Steve couldn't force himself to say kissing. That would bring up the memory of the two of them together.

"Oh that was all Chin," stated Kono, still smiling. "He activated the GPS in your cellphone and sent us a text to let us know you were on your way up."

Steve gasped and turned to see Chin still standing next to the main computer but his eyes were on his teammates in Steve's office. And he was smiling...hard.

"Chin was in on this too," asked Steve gobsmacked. He couldn't believe that his whole team had banned against him. They were closer than he thought.

Chin peeked his head inside the office. "Sure was brah," smirked Chin, walking inside the office. "I was in on it from the beginning. Who do you think alerted them that you were headed their way last week." Chin continued to smirk as he pulled his cellphone out of his pocket and held it up for Steve to see. " All me."

"I can't believe my entire team was plotting against me," grumbled Steve, letting out a sigh. "So you guys did all of this as a way to force me to admit my feelings for Danny."

All they gave Steve a nod. "We did," replied Kono. "And I have to say we're a little surprised that you didn't catch on quicker. You being a trained operative and all."

"I guess all that training in the Army didn't pay off," Danny snickered.

"It's Navy...you know what never mind. I'm still stuck on the fact that this was all a con."

Danny looked at Steve who still had confusion in his eyes and clapped his hands together. "Hey guys you think you could give Steve and I a moment to talk, alone. I think the big guy needs more of an explanation."

"Sure thing brah," Kono replied as she leaned forward and gave Danny a kiss on the cheek, avoiding Steve's glare. "We're all just glad that the bossman finally pulled his head out of his ass."

"Hey!"

Both Kono and Chin laughed, closing the door to Steve's office. "Don't forget you owe me fifty cuz," Danny and Steve heard Chin shout out followed by Kono's groan.

They were left in the office alone and for a few moments they stood there in silence. Neither one wanted to speak first but the silence was to much for Danny so he broke it. "So," he began.

"So," repeated Steve. "You said you wanted to talk lets talk. Why did you feel the need to lie and pretend to date Kono instead of telling me the truth. That you liked me."

"I didn't see you forthcoming with the same information unless you count that lame attempt Saturday night. At least I was putting myself out there."

"How?"

"How? Lets start with my car, that I let you drive all the time everywhere and everyday," Danny began, counting off with his fingers. "And yes I know I complain about it but the fact remains that I still let you drive it. Then there's me sharing the Saturdays I have Grace with you at your house for all sorts of fun beach filled things and she loves you for it. I tell you everything and I've cooked for you...twice." By the time he finished he was standing directly in front of Steve, arms wrapping around the taller man's waist. "Just so you know I don't do that for just anybody."

Steve scoffed, rolling his eyes. "That was you putting yourself 'out there'.

"What can I say, I'm a divorce man who's scared of getting hurt again but for you I'm willing to try."

If Steve felt any anger towards Danny it would have melted upon hearing those words. The fact that Danny was willing to put himself out there for Steve made his heart swell with happiness. Giddily he cupped the back of Danny's neck and pulled him into a kiss. The passion was still there but unlike the first kiss, full of tongue and teeth, this kiss was softer and gentler. This kiss was a declaration of love and promise of devotion.

"I want this Danny, I want you and only you but only if you want the same."

"Honey if I didn't want this I would have punched you in the face when you kissed me the first time," chuckled Danny as he nibbled at the patch of skin underneath Steve's neck. "And I most definitely wouldn't be doing this."

Steve let out a stifled moan as Danny continued placing soft butterfly kisses around his neck. "Oh," he whispered, pulling Danny closer. Suddenly he pulled away, surprising Danny who looked up at him scared and confused. "Hey Danny promise me something."

"What?" asked Danny, pulling away slightly.

"Promise me that nobody gets to call you Danno but me...with the exception of Grace."

He couldn't hold back the grin. "I guess that's what lead to your outburst. You hearing Kono calling me Danno after our kiss."

"Yeah, I really didn't like that," blushed Steve embarrassed. "I really didn't."

Danny simply laughed and grabbed the front of Steve's shirt, preparing to pull him into another kiss. "For you babe, anything. Now be quiet because I'm about to kiss you again," he smiled before doing just that.


Did you see that coming. Did you see that coming. Some of you probably didn't but that's okay, I wanted it that way. It made for a nice twist for the prompt. Well seriously thanks for reading and hopefully I'll be back again. Until next time,
