PROMPT: Hawaii Five - 0, Danny/Steve

FOR : Ruthabellaaa

OoOoOoOo

"Danny, Danny, would you - OW - Damn it, Danny, let go!" Steve McGarrett, leader of the Five - 0 task force, Lieutenant Commander in the Navy, a former Navy SEAL, found he couldn't get out of his partners clutches.

"Do you know what you put me through?" Detective Danny 'Danno' Williams, second in command of the task force, demanded to know. "Do you care?"

"I was doing my job," Steve replied.

"No," Danny disagreed, letting the swats he was aiming at Steve's backside come down harder. "You were taking a stupid risk. And you knew it was a stupid risk. You know how I know!?"

"Dan - OW - come on," Steve definitely didn't whine. "Someone is gonna see."

Danny kept on like he hadn't been interrupted. "I know because you didn't tell anyone about it. You don't 'check on a lead' without telling someone and taking backup. You know better!"

"Ok, I'm sorry," Steve tried.

In all honestly he was sorry to have worried the slightly older man. He'd gotten excited to get a call about a lead on the case they were working. The entire team was working over trying to find the kidnapped teacher and to have a lead was, in Steve's mind, worth the risk of going off alone.

What he hadn't counted on, though he probably should have, was that it was a set up to get him alone. If Danny hadn't had Kono, the only female on the team, ping his phone to find him after he hadn't come in on time, then there's no telling what would have happened.

As it was Danny had managed to get to him just in time and together the two had managed to arrest one, take out another, and the last person had gotten away. Steve had wanted to interrogate the man they'd managed to arrest and Danny had let him until a squad car picked him up. Kono and Chin Ho Kelly, the oldest member of the team, had rushed over to the scene and agreed to stay and help collect evidence. Steve hadn't protested since he wanted a shot at the man they arrested.

It wasn't until they got back to headquarters, Steve giving orders to Danny, that the shoe had dropped. Before he had a chance to protest, Danny had pushed Steve into his office and holding his arm, angled him sideways and started swatting.

Steve had blushed darkly while trying to get away from the punishing hand. He'd grown up with Chin being his surrogate older brother and in coming home after his dad's death Chin had often taken the part of his surrogate dad. Danny often had the persona of an older brother that Steve knew to be from the fact that he was an older brother. This was just too much. His protests fell on deaf ears.

"If you," ** SWAT, SWAT ** "ever put a stunt," ** SWAT, SWAT ** "like that again," ** SWAT, SWAT ** "me and you," ** SWAT, SWAT ** "are gonna have a long talk" ** SWAT, SWAT ** "after work on top" ** SWAT, SWAT ** "of what you get straight after." ** SWAT, SWAT ** "Do you understand?" ** SWAT, SWAT **

"Got it," Steve was quick to answer.

Danny finally let him go. "Let's go interrogate this guy and finish this case. And you better watch yourself Steven. One misstep and the next conversation you have is gonna be with Chin."

Steve gulped loudly. Ok, so going solo was defiantly not happening again...ever!
