Are You Going To Kiss Me Or Not?

"Are you going to kiss me or not?" The blonde boy demanded, crossing his arms over his chest and pouting.

In front of him the six-year-old Steve McGarrett took a step back, mouth open but no words coming out. He was on the school's playground with Danny Williams just a few feet away, looking at him eagerly as the boy tapped his foot in waiting.

"Well?" Danny said, sounding more irritated than before.

"Uh, I... Why should I?" Steve challenged, finding the courage out of nowhere. It quickly disappeared when Danny looked at him as if he were stupid before sighing dramatically and throwing his hands in the air.

"Duh silly, that's what boyfriends do. And since you're my boyfriend that means you have to kiss me." The blonde boy took another step forward and Steve took one back, stuttering and searching desperately for an excuse.

He should have known asking Danny Williams to be his boyfriend was a bad idea but after he found the Valentine card and the candy the blonde boy had put in his cubby, Steve felt it was only right. Besides they played together at his house all the time, getting dirty or going on adventures in the backyard.

Steve let out a breath. "Don't you think we should wait a little bit?" He asked nervously, biting his bottom lip.

Danny put his hands on his hips and cocked his head to the side. "Why? I love you and you love me. And people who love each other kiss." Suddenly the blonde boy stopped and narrowed his eyes at Steve. "You do love me right?"

Steve felt his face turn red as he wrung his hands. Out of pure fear of Danny's wrath he said: "O-of course I do."

Danny beamed at him and stepped even closer. This time when he took a step back Steve collided with the wall of a building. His heart was beating loudly in his chest and he could hear the blood rushing in his ears as his palms grew sweaty. Danny leaned forward with his hands clasped behind his back and his pink lips puckered, waiting.

"Danny wait. What if I don't know if I love you?"

The blonde boy froze and pulled back, studying Steve before shrugging his shoulders. "Figure it out," Danny told him.

Steve looked at him as if he were crazy. "How?" He asked desperately.

Again Danny threw his hands up in the air in frustration. "You're a fool. All you have to do is ask your heart. It always knows the answer."

This time it was Steve's turn to stare at the blonde boy. "And how do I ask my heart?"

"You just do," Danny said, "I asked mine if I was in love with you and it said yes and then I just knew." He shrugged again as if it were simple.

Sucking in a big breath Steve took a daring step forward. "Alright then, I guess I love you. But can we wait with the kiss?"

Danny frowned but nodded anyways. "Oh alright. I guess I can wait." He said before he grabbed Steve's hand and led him away from the wall towards the rest of their classmates.

From behind him Steve spoke up, his voice anxious as he picked at a loose string on his blue shirt. "Danny? Will you still love me even if I'm not ready to kiss you?"

When he said it the blonde boy turned around and his blue eyes were wide with shock. "Of course I will. Even if you don't love me I always love you." Danny paused and bit his lip. "Just don't take too long Ok?"

Steve smiled as he squeezed Danny's hand back. "I promise."
