Damn, I Really Want To Fucking Kiss You
tags: friends to lovers, first kiss
A sweet scent filled Danny's nostrils - strawberries.
Steve had picked them up from a tiny greengrocer near his house. His partner often tells him about the small shop run by a lovely elderly couple. It's the same shop who sells that honey Grace likes and Steve often brings her a glass and every time Danny thanks him, a small smile plays around Steve's mouth. And the blonde likes that smile, a little too much.
It's Danny's favourite time of the day; Kono, Chin and Grover already had left, so it's only Steve and him, just the way he likes it.
Sitting behind his desk, Danny looks up from his reports, as his partner stands in front of him, explaining the handling of some new gear. He's desperately trying to follow what Steve was saying, but all Danny can focus on is that sweet scent from the strawberries and… his partner's lips. Damn, I really want to fucking kiss you, Steve McGarrett.
Danny must be staring at Steve, because he stops what he's saying and smiles at him. Oh god Steve's so lovable when he smiles, and the corners of the blonde's lips turn up, he can't help himself.
"Do you want one?" Steve holds up a berry, balancing the top between his fingertips.
The blonde nods. He want so much more from his partner, he can't even begin to put it all into words. But he'll start with a strawberry.
Danny stands up, his feet moving in time with the thundering sound of his heartbeat that's pounding in his ears. Steve's eyes are wide, kind of amused, and Danny wants to spend the rest of his life making his partner look just like this.
The tips of Steve's shoes touch the tips of Danny's, and he can hear the way his partner's breath catches, can feel it against his face as Steve slowly exhales.
Danny plucks the berry from between Steve's fingers, and then brings it up to Steve's mouth. His partner only hesitates for a second, then wraps his lips around it and takes a bite. Danny tosses the stem to the side, and then licks away the juice it left behind on his hand.
Steve breathes his name, Danny, and it's the first time the blonde ever felt like it really belonged to him. It's never sounded like it meant so much. The blonde cups Steve's face in his hands, letting the pads of his thumbs skim across his partner's cheeks. The warmth of Steve's skin makes his knees feel like jelly; Danny takes a deep breath as he moves a little closer. Their lips touched for the first time. Slowly, so slowly, until Danny can't tell where he ends and Steve begins.
