Chapter 2

Danny and Chin sat in Danny's 2 bedroom apartment that he had moved into three months before, it was a right bachelors' pad but it also had a homely feel to it, along with Grace's items lying around. The two friends sat waiting on Steve to arrive before heading down to the local bar which was holding the Halloween karaoke night.

"They must think we're daft" Chin exclaimed as he took a sip of his beer "I mean we can see they totally love each other but they actually don't realise that the feeling is mutual" he said chuckling while shaking his head. Danny nodded in agreement;

"That's very true my friend, they stare are each other when they think no-one is looking. They must think we're not very good detectives" Danny laughed just as his front door opened and in walked Steve. He still wore the same annoyed expression that he had left the office with and Danny knew it was directed at him but he didn't care, the end result would hopefully be worth it. But what Danny didn't miss was the clothes Steve wore;

"What kind of outfit is that?" Danny frowned while Steve looked down at his clothes.

"What? I said I would go, never said anything about dressing up" Steve shot Danny a look that told him that this conversation was over. Chin just rolled his eyes at the pair of them and stood from the table;

"Well now that's cleared up we better get going because you said we'd meet the girls there" he pointed in the direction of Danny to make sure he hadn't forgotten what he said. Danny and Steve nodded and the trio left for the bar, Steve still didn't know what Chin knew and that was what Danny had come up with.

The bar was overflowing with people dressed up in every kind of outfit you could think of; vampires, werewolves, skeletons and whatever else people were dressing up as these days. Halloween tunes blared through the speakers as people got up to sing and enjoy themselves. Looking around as best they could the guys spotted the girls sitting at a table close to the bar but not too close to the stage much to the relief of Steve. Danny and Chin headed straight to the bar while Steve pushed his way through the crowd towards the table, Kono had her back to him so he couldn't see what outfit she was wearing but as for Lori she was dressed as a cat. Lori was the first to stop Steve and waved in his direction;

"Hey Steve" she yelled above the noise in the bar. At the mention of Steve's name Kono turned and nearly choked on her drink;

"Where is your outfit?" She asked as Steve took a seat beside her but he couldn't take his eyes off her. Kono was dressed as bat woman and of course it had to be an all in one leather suit. Making out he was listening he rolled his eyes before replying;

"Like I told Danny just because I came doesn't mean to say I had to dress up" he grumbled just as Danny and Chin arrived at the table with a round of drinks. Danny laughed at Steve he just couldn't wait to shock him;

"Well Steve I'm afraid you will have to get dressed as we're up next" Danny smiled triumphantly. Steve studied Danny closely he didn't have a very good feeling about this;

"And what is that supposed to mean?" Steve said in an annoyed too. Chin hung his head trying his best not to laugh whereas Kono and Lori sat gobsmacked at what Danny had just said.

"We my friend" Danny started as he pointed at himself, Chin and then Steve "Are going to get dressed as we're up next singing Men in Black" Danny spoke as if nothing bothered him. The whole table fell silent until Kono couldn't help it and burst into fits of laughter along with Lori. Steve however wasn't amused in the slightest; standing abruptly he nearly knocked the table over;

"No way in hell!" he roared before storming out the back door of the bar. Kono watched him me, she had never seem him get that angry over one silly comment, she knew something wasn't right. Standing she motioned with her thumb that she was heading out to Steve as she walked away from her friends and off to find the man she loved.

Walking out the back door of the bar Kono spotted Steve sitting on a wall opposite the door with his back facing it. Making her way over she could tell by just the way he sat that something was bothering him. She knew she wouldn't scare him or anything and she sat down next to him, with him being the Seal that he is he would have sensed her before he seen her plus her heels would have gave it away too. Kono didn't say anything she just sat there watching kids have a ball out trick or treating, she would wait for Steve to speak no matter how long it took.

Steve knew who the person was walking towards him from behind, had a feeling that someone would come looking for him and he was glad it was Kono. He watched her with a side glance as she sat down on the wall next to him. She didn't say anything just waited for him to say something which he was grateful for. Right now all he wanted to do was take her hand and hold onto it for comfort but he couldn't, not yet anyway. Sighing he closed his eyes as he finally began to speak;

"The last Halloween I ever celebrated turned out to be the worst for me and Mary-Ann" Steve opened his eyes and looked at Kono; she was looking right at him with her big beautiful brown eyes just waiting for him to continue. Steve had never told anyone this part of the story before but he knew he could trust Kono with anything even his life "That was the night our mother was killed. We were busy having fun while our mother lay dying" Steve's anger was coming through with every word he spoke as he hung his head to keep the anger at bay. Kono sat there shocked that Steve had willing revealed a personal matter to his past without needing to be forced. She swallowed hard now knowing why he was against celebrating Halloween. Taking his hand in her own she spoke;

"I don't know what to say Steve but I know you don't want me to say sorry so I won't. But do you think your mother would want you to sit here and not enjoy yourself. Maybe now it's time to start fresh with us, your 50 family" she said softly and she looked down at their joined hands. Steve was shocked when Kono took his hand and had probably missed part of what she said but he had heard the last part;

"Yeah maybe…thanks for not saying sorry" He smiled at her and squeezed her hand. Kono just nodded before letting go and standing up;

"I'll see you back inside" and with that she started to walk away only for her to stop as a thought came to mind "Hey Steve" she called and waited for him to turn around "If you hurry up I'll help you with an outfit and eh…my outfit just isn't for my benefit" she winked and then she was off back inside he bar. Steve was speechless; he wasn't sure if he had heard correctly but that sure as hell sounded to him like Kono was trying to tell him something. Quickly standing he made his way back to the door maybe tonight could be the start of something better and he defiantly wanted a better look at her outfit.

The noise in the bar was deafening once again when Steve walked back inside, if anything he was positive that it was busier than before. Pushing his way back to the table he noticed the girls weren't there as he took a seat;

"Where are the girls?" Steve asked as he took a sip of his beer. Chin noticed that he was a lot calmer than he was before, thanks to Kono no doubt;

"On the dance floor enjoying themselves for a change" Chin laughed slightly as Steve looked in that direction. What he seen made him choke on his beer and he coughed to clear his throat, Danny and Chin started laughing. When Steve looked again all he seen was Kono, she was gorgeous and the leather suit clung to every curve of her body. She was a good dancer too but when she turned in Steve's direction she was also wearing a mask over her eyes, which just made her look as sexy as hell. Steve knew he had been spotted staring when Kono gave him a small sexy smile and a wink before she turned back to Lori. Steve groaned and rubbed his eyes, maybe wearing lose shorts was worse than jeans.
