Guess what folks, I'm back. Since my health problems are so much better I decided to do a little writing. Thanks for all your best wishes.

Hope you all enjoy the new story!

Enough

Danny was seated in one of the vacant seats at the airport terminal. How could he have been so stupid? He mentally scolded himself. He had once again tried to get through to Steve; he had tried to make the SEAL see just how much he cared for him without actually telling him that he loved him.

The blonde flashed back to the conversation he had with Steve in the hospital after he'd almost gotten himself killed just for the sake of finding their suspect. Can't you see there are people who care about you? Who need you? Danny had used Chin, Kono, Grover and even Grace and Charlie to cover the true meaning of his words.

When did he fall for this man? Danny sighed heavily, he couldn't think straight when Steve was around him. He couldn't take it anymore, he needed a break. He has accepted a time-limited job offer in Jersey. Danny had only moments ago delivered his letter of resignation to the governor.

The blonde had said goodbye to all but one. One he wasn't willing to face, because he knew without a doubt Steve could get him to stay. All he had to do was smile, touch him innocently or just ask and he would give in.

The woman's voice on the speaker overhead brought Danny out of his daze and alerted him of the boarding of his flight. Sighing heavily, the blonde reached down to grab his luggage when someone came to stand beside him. Turning his head slightly, his eyes came into contact with that all too familiar cargo pants. Groaning as he straightened up, Danny grabbed his bags in a hurry to get away from him. Steve jumped forward and blocked his path.

"What do you want Steven?" Danny asked, simultaneously rolling his eyes.

"You're leaving," he simply stated.

"Very good, now let me leave." Danny tried moving past him but Steve grabbed the blonde's bags away from him.

"You're leaving," he started, "and you didn't even let me know." His eyes were searching Danny's, but the blonde was desperately trying to avoid his.

"I didn't think you'd care," he shot bitterly and immediately after he regretted it.

Steve looked hurt as if he were stung. "You think I wouldn't? I had to hear it from Denning. Why are you leaving?"

"I don't know, Steven. Do you care about anybody but yourself? And I'm leaving because I want to."

"Fine. Leave if you want to. But don't run because you're scared." Steve's face was passive, displaying no emotion but maybe slight hurt.

Danny laughed dryly, "Oh I'm running, am I?" Steve remained motionless, penetrating the blonde with his eyes. "And what exactly am I running from Steven? What am I afraid of?"

"You're afraid of falling for me. You have feelings for me but you're scared of acting on them. You're scared of getting hurt." Steve's eyes remained fixated on Danny's and only when he saw the blonde's facial expression shift from shock to anger, he did realize what he just said.

Danny's hand cuffed as he tried to restrain his emotions. It was a lost cause. What upsetted him most was the fact that it was true, but how could Steve say that to his face. The blonde snapped. "You're right Steven, you always are. I do love you, you bastard!"

Danny turned swiftly giving the SEAL no time to explain. He snatched his bags from the ground where Steve had left them and started to walk away. It only took a second for him to realize that he wasn't moving anywhere, mainly due to the hand firmly grasping his. He turned, every intend on slapping the SEAL but Steve promptly pulled him into a kiss.

The SEAL's hand remained on Danny's and his other was gently cupping the blonde's cheek. Steve lips were eager and persistent against his and after the initial shock wore off, Danny found himself responding.

Steve pulled back slightly. "Does that say it or should I still say it? He whispered against the blonde's lips and was rewarded with a shiver.

Danny smirked, "Say it."

"I love you Danny. And I'm such a fool for not noticing it earlier."

"Yes, you are, babe" Danny smiled, "but you're my fool now." Steve grinned before closing the distance between them once more.
