Song by Chris Rice

Danno was in Steve's office and Chin and Kono were with him, the latter still pissed because some moron had the audacity to set foot in Steve´s office, claiming that he needed something. Kono almost beat him, Chin´s eyes flashed, telling this rookie that he was not to be messed with. , And Danny, Danny was just sad because Steve wasn´t there.

Steve hadn´t have much stuff, having been in the Navy for so long he was used to not have stuff, but what he had was in pristine condition. Danny went through all of it with Chin and Kono near, and for the first time since they got the news that Steve was dead, they laughed. Then they got a picture that Steve had on his desk.

"I remember that day, we were celebrating Chin´s birthday, remember Dan?"

"When did you fall in love with me?

Was it out of the blue

'Cause I swear I never knew it

When did you let your heart run free?

Have you been waiting long?

When did you fall in love with me?

When did you fall in love?.."

But Danny never answered because he was looking at Steve´s eyes as they looked at him and then he looked at his Ohana.

Chin was the one to answer his unspoken question.

"Yes, I´m pretty sure he knew by then."

"If you knew, why in the hell didn´t you tell me? Why, Chin? Why didn´t you beat us with an iron bar and make us face those feelings?"

"Because I´m human and I screwed up."

"Yeah, right there with you, brah. I lost my husband, my crazy goof, because I screwed up. I wasn´t man enough to grab him and kiss him."

"Neither was the boss man, Danny, you..." Because she didn´t know what they were going to do without the boss man there.

Chin, sensing his 'cuz's change of mood, took her and left Danny alone in the office.

Danny took the picture with him as he left the building and took a cab to their home. Danno couldn't stand the sight of the Camaro; he had loved that car, but now couldn´t stand to be near it.

The taxi driver was listening a song that almost made him cry.

"When did you fall in love with me?

Was it out of the blue

'Cause I swear I never knew it

When did you let your heart run free?

Have you been waiting long?

When did you fall in love with me?

When did you fall in love?

Was it at the coffee shop

Or that morning at the bus stop

When you almost slipped, and I caught your hand

Or the time we built the snowman

The day at the beach, sandy and warm

Or the night with the scary thunderstorm

I never saw the signs

Now we've got to make up for lost time

And I can tell now by the way that you're looking at me

I'd better finish this song so my lips will be free..."

Danno listened to the words and he could feel all over again, and he was bitter because he wasn´t getting a chance to make up for the lost time. Danno and Steve didn´t have a new chance because someone had murdered Steve, taking him from Danny´s arms.

When he got home, he pulled out Steve's letters. He had never read past the first one.

Again he checked the handwriting; this time it was a paper with a alligator on the bottom. Where Steve found that paper he didn´t know, but he loved it.

Hi, Danno,

Yeah, I know only your daugther, "Commander Gracie" gets to call you that, but can you make an exception for me? –(Insert Lost SEAL eyes)-

We are getting closer to our first target, Danno, I can feel it. This is bigger than we thought, but I´m confident I won´t die here. I have a lot to come home too ;)

I miss my commander a lot. Did you give her my kiss and hug?

I´m not scared, Danno, but it's not the same. I´m thinking about this being my last mission, you know. I want my Ohana, I want to settle down, Danno, and I don´t know, but maybe I´m analizing you and rambling; you would be the silent one, Danno.

And Danny could see Steve smiling at this sentence.

Today I sent a kid back to the base; he wasn´t a SEAL. He was compromising our positions so I pulled him out. He yelled at me for ruining his reputation. He had NO REPUTATION other the one the Navy give him. I was really angry because we´re working very hard, Dan, to stay safe and get through our mission and this stupid person comes and blows all to hell. No, no, I have someone to come home to, I think, so anyone who isn´t careful of proper procedure will face my wrath, jejeje.

How is our Ohana D? tell me. Have you destroyed all my efforts to make Kono a badass like me? Or did you became Chin´s number two in technology? Tell me, Dan, I want to know, write it down so when I get home I will know.

I have you with me always, Danno, you´re my partner, my back up.

Do you think in me?

See you Danno,

Steve.

"Have you been waiting long, when did you fall in love

I kept you waiting so long, when did you fall

Have you been waiting long

When did you fall in love with me..."

Danny´s tears were now his constant companion. Steve had loved him for so long, but the big goof had been afraid, until, like the amazing super SEAL that he was, battled those scary feelings away leaving him only the good ones It hurt so much to see how badly Steve had wanted to come home, home to Danno, and Danno cried harder.

When did you fall in love with me?

Was it out of the blue

'Cause I swear I never knew it

When did you let your heart run free?

Have you been waiting long?

When did you fall in love with me?

When did you fall in love?

"Isn´t fair, but then again nothing in my life is," he told the air and went to find a bottle so he could drink his sorrows away, hoping that would lead back to Steve.
