Chapter Four

It was getting late, and they had to go through all the information that they had. There was nothing else to do. It was time to finish it up and head home, or to the hotel you were staying at.

Steve glanced over and watched as Danny and Hotch laughed at what seemed to be a private joke. He hated the fact that he wasn't involved that he couldn't be there with them. He wanted to be the only one who put that smile on his partners face. Steve knew that sounded selfish, but he felt lost at times. If only he could tell Danny how he felt if only they could be together in work as well as in their personal lives. He had no idea how to broach that subject. Would Danny even be interested in him, considering the number of times he got him into trouble.

'Steve.' A feminine voice called out and so groaned silently. This was something he didn't need now. He knew he couldn't just kick her out after all the support she had given him, given them.

'Cat.' He replied as he pasted a smile on his face. He couldn't help but notice the frown on Danny's face.

'Am I interrupting something?' Cat asked as she noticed the newcomers.

Steve opened his mouth to say yes that they were working. Before he could say anything Danny opened his mouth and started to talk.

'No, you're not interrupting anything.' Danny turned to look at Hotch. 'Are you ready to go?'

'Yeah, I'm ready.' Hotch replied as he looked at the two men.

'Oh.' Steve stood there, he looked at little lost as the two men left. 'Let's go.' He turned to Cat and walked out of the office.

Once outside Steve turned and watched as Danny pulled Hotch into a kiss before they climbed into his Camaro.

'Are you ok Steve?' Cat asked as she stood beside him and watched as the car lights disappeared.

'Yeah, I'm fine. I'm not in the mood to go out tonight.' Steve muttered.

'That's ok, we can stay in.' Cat followed Steve to his truck.

Chin and Kono shook their heads.

Derek walked over to them. 'What the hell was that all about?' He demanded to know. There was undoubtedly more going on, and he can guess what it was all about.

'Steve and Danny are unable to communicate about anything genuinely personal. Like each other and how they feel.' Kono growled. She was on the verge of locking the two of them away until they confessed how they felt.

'How do they feel about each other?' Derek asked he wanted confirmation of what he thought.

Chin turned to look at him and raised an eyebrow. 'You're the profiler what do you think?' When Derek didn't reply Chin turned to leave with his cousin.

'Hotch better not get hurt.' Derek threatened.

Chin turned back and looked at Derek. 'If he is a talented a profiler as Danny says he already knows what is going on? Don't ever threaten our friends again. Your boss, friend whatever you call him is an adult. Whatever decisions he makes are purely his.' With that he waited for the BAU members to leave, and then followed them out.

Derek waited for them to leave and turned to his friends.

Reid smiled at him. 'They are right you know. Hotch knows exactly what is going on, and he is an adult. Danny lives here, his daughter is here. He has no intention of moving. So what does or doesn't happen between them? I can't see it being a permanent thing.'

Derek glared at his young friend, and watched as Reid just continued to smile at him.

Steve and Cat walked into his house. She was seriously worried about him. He hadn't said a word. She had hoped that he was glad to see her, but that seemed a little doubtful. As soon as he shut the door and turned Cat kissed him on his lips, hoping to cheer him up.

'Steve.' She whispered as she pulled away.

Danny pushed Hotch into his apartment and slammed the door behind him. It had been such a long time when he had last been with a man. With the frustration of this case, and on top of that Steve, he was desperate to find some release. It helped that Hotch had been a man that he had wanted and never had.

Hotch moaned as Danny pulled him into a hard kiss. It was obvious to him it was not going to last long. He was fine with it, and it was what Danny needed.

Danny explored every inch of the taller man's mouth, tasting and teasing. He finally pulled away, and he pulled Hotch to his bed. They both stripped off quickly. Hotch shook his head as he stared at his old friend.

'Jesus Danny, how the hell do you manage to stay looking like that?' Hotch waved his hand indicating Danny's compact and muscular body.

'Chasing criminals with five-0 and the odd time spent surfing. Danny reached into his side table and pulled out lube and some condoms. Even though he had never been with a man, there was always the hope that one day he would. That one day he and Steve would deal with what was going on between them.

Hotch laughed as Danny pushed him down on the bed and climbed onto him. Danny rubbed their bodies together sensually as he moved up so he could reach Hotch's mouth.

'How do you want this to go?' Hotch mumbled against those devilishly kissable lips. His hands ran up and down Danny's back; finally they land to cup the other man's ass.

'Oh god Hotch, in me. I need you in me.' Danny moaned as he pushed his dick against Hotch's.

'Anything you want Danny, anything.' Hotch grabbed the lube and rolled the shorter man of him.

Danny grinned and turned onto his stomach. As much he wanted Hotch. He didn't want to look at anyone. All he wanted was to feel and not think at all.

'What are you waiting for, an invitation?'

Hotch parted Danny's legs and pulled him onto his knees. Once he was settled in-between them he covered his cock with a condom and lubed it. There was no way he wanted to wait once they got going. He slicked up one finger and slowly pushed it into Danny's body. Then he moved his digit it in and out of that tight ring patiently waiting for it to start moving more easily. He grinned as Danny started to push back; it was obvious that he wanted more. He then added the second and third. Hotch loved the feel of Danny's channel tightened around his fingers.

'Are you ready?' Hotch asked.

Danny looked over his shoulder and glared at the other man. 'You're kidding me, right?'

Hotch laughed as he lined himself and pushed himself in. He couldn't help them moan that left his mouth at the heat that now surrounded him.

'Jesus.' Danny moaned as he pushed back.

Hotch took hold of Danny's hips and gripped them hard, and he started to push harder and faster into the other body. His head leaned back as he felt the sensations run through his body. It had been such a long time since he felt this, another male body wrapped around his.

Danny pushed his body back hard, feeling hot sweaty skin slap against his. This is what he needed.

'Danny.' Hotch slammed into him harder, and faster. They both just needed the release. He moved his arms and reached around to pull Danny up. His chest was against the other man's back. His hands went back to Danny's hips and sat there as Danny began to fuck himself on Hotch's cock.

Danny reached up one arm and wrapped it around his lover's neck. He felt lips kiss and gently nip at the skin on his neck. Then he felt a hand wrap around his cock and start to pump. Danny moved his body faster and faster he could feel the release coming. He loved and hated this part. He loved feeling the rush through his body, but hated the fact that he knew it was going to be over. He would be left alone in his body.

Hotch felt the moment Danny came his body squeezed around his hard shaft, nails dug into his neck, and the sweaty body arched against him.

'Hotch.' Danny screamed as his orgasm hit him, and white fluid spilt over his hand.

Hotch continued to pump into that now relaxed body. A few more thrusts, and then he pushed up hard and filled the condom with semen. They both stayed in that position their sweat slicked bodies, moving against each other as they tried to catch their breaths.

Steve took a deep breath as he walked up to Danny's apartment door. It had started to become ridiculous between them now. He was tired of having to hide how he felt about the diminutive detective. He had never stopped doing something because of fear before; Steve wasn't going to start now. It was time to man up.

He reached up and tapped on Danny's door. He took some deep, calming breaths.

Danny opened the door, he wore only his boxers, and there was a familiar scowl on his face. Steve opened his mouth to finally admit how he felt about his partner, which was when he noticed Hotch appear in the background wearing nothing but a towel.

Steve felt his heart shatter into a million pieces.
