Author Note: I mixed seasons 2-4, I have a bunny that came in my sleep and I can't get it out of my head, so bear with me, and enjoy Danny's angst.
Disclaimer: These characters are not mine, but the plot is… Poor Danny though.
One week later on Monday, Danny could feel his heart beating fast as he saw Scott closing the bank and heading toward him.
Scott didn't disappoint him once, true to his word, every morning he brought him coffee and malsaladas, and when he finished work Scott came by him and sat down to talk with him.
"I can't wait for our date on the weekend," Danny told him, and then asked, "Is it too soon to ask for one kiss?"
Scott smiled at him as he replied. "I can't wait for our date, and for you to allow me to call you my boyfriend, but I wouldn't mind giving you one kiss now, and the rest on our first date."
They kissed for the first time, and Danny felt so warm. he couldn't wait for the day of the date to arrive, he needs to know more about the man that could make his heart whole after someone else broke it.
"That was how I imagine it would be." Scott said and licked his lips.
"Me too," Danny smiled and then he asked, "Maybe we should explore this further after work, see if it progress like we imagine it will be as well?"
"Oh, I will hold you to that thought, and Danny," Scott said as he took his hand and then he added, "I can't wait to touch you like you think we should, and I can't wait for you to be my boyfriend."
"Me too," Danny said, and could feel the warmth from Scott's hand as it touched his, and he added, "You opened something that I kept locked up for long time, and now I…"
"I know that feeling, we'll have a lot of time to talk about it during the date, and Danny, even though that our date is this weekend, I have a spare room in my apartment and parking place for your car." Scott told him.
There was silence in the car.
"I mean it, Danny, you're probably tired and your neck and back might be stiff…" Scott told him as he moved his hand to cup Danny's face.
Danny sighed before he spoke, so he decided, hopefully it won't cost him something later on, "I'll tell what we do, when the day is over, lead the way to your apartment, but we'll take it slow."
"Oh God, now I can't wait for the day to be over, and I'll be slow, or at least I will try…" Scott grinned at him and left with a smile on his face.
"Have a nice day then." Danny said, and kept looking at him until the man entered the bank.
After a few hours passed, Danny noticed a strange man wearing black and holding something in his hand. The man was walking toward the bank, and then he noticed the mask.
Danny left his car, and hurried toward the strange man and called, "Hey you…"
The man stopped and turned around to face Danny with only a knife in his hand.
"Seriously, a knife will help you to rob the bank?"
"Why? You think you have a better plan?" the man asked him as he came toward him and start to attack him.
"So, you planned to attack me then?" Danny mocked him,
"Well I was here first, so the money is mine!"
"Who say that I want to rob the bank in the first place? I didn't say anything." Danny told him as he tried to avoid the knife hitting his body.
The man lunged at him, pointing the knife at his waist , and managed to push it past his defenses. Danny fell to the ground just as Levi and Diego got to the scene. While Levi and Diego handled the man, Danny stumbled and tried to stand and walk toward the bank, but as soon as he reached the bank entrance the security guard, seeing him as a threat, took a shot at him.
"Help…" was the only word Danny said over and over as he collapsed on the floor.
"Call HPD, this man tried to rob the bank, so I shot him," the security claimed.
The manager and the employees left what they were doing and rushed to the falling man.
"How is this man supposed to have been coming to rob the bank when he's got a knife stuck in his waist." The manager said and pulled out his cellphone to call for an ambulance and the HPD.
Scott sat beside the bloodied man, and said, "Stay with me…. Please, stay with me…"
Once the ambulance came and took Danny, Scott joined him in the ambulance, while Levi and Diego handed the attacker to HPD and followed in two cars after the ambulance.
HPD waited for 5-0 to take the case, since Danny seemed to be involved, two members remained in the bank, while Lou and Steve went to the hospital, they needed Danny's statement.
Lou walked toward the nurse's office and asked them if there is any news about Danny Williams, the one that was shot at the bank.
"Are there any news?" Steve asked as Lou came back.
"Nothing, still in surgery, and listen to this," Lou smiled as he added, "They told me that he came with his boyfriend."
"He has a boyfriend?" Steve asked.
To Lou, Steve seemed surprised by the word 'Boyfriend'.
A few hours later, the doctor came toward them, and told them that the surgery succeed, and Danny was moved to another room, and that his boyfriend was looking after him.
"So, when can I question him?" Steve asked.
"Come tomorrow, he might feel better, at the moment he is resting and we're giving him meds."
Scott sat in the ICU recovery room and waited for Danny to open his eyes.
At some point Danny did open his eyes, sipped some water and then closed his eyes again and went back to sleep.
While Scott was there, he smoothly reached his hand out and held Danny's hand as he said, "You know, that's not how I imagined our first date will be like, but all things considered, at least I still have you."
"Kono, investigate the suspect, maybe he knows something that we don't, and take the security guard statement as well." Steve told her as he made some calls.
"Ok, just want to let you know boss, that Kawika's men are around."
"Thank you Kono. Keep us updated." Steve said and hung up.
At some point Scott fell asleep and when he opened his eyes, he could see Danny's hand was cuffed to the railing, and Danny was awake, not knowing what is going on around him.
"I will be right back Danny, it's good to see you awake." Scott told him and kissed his pale cheek before leaving the room.
"Nurse, nurse…" he called, and when a nurse came by he asked, "Who put the cuffs on Danny?"
"Cuffed?" the nurse asked in shock, and then she remembered having seen HPD and Hawaii 5-0 asking about the man in the ICU.
"Is he awake?" the nurse asked.
"Yeah, he is, but what is going on in here? Why the cuffs?" Scott asked, knowing that Danny didn't do anything wrong.
He looked around looking for Levi and Diego hoping that they will have more info, but there was no sign of them, he hoped that they will come by soon, but maybe they didn't know where Danny's room was and that's why they were not around.
"You should ask them." The nurse pointed toward two men nearby who were looking at him with suspicion.
Scott sighed heavily, he was feeling drained, but he decided that Danny needed him more at this point.
"They can come in."
Scott sat next to Danny, and told him, "You know, that's not how I imagine our first date will be, but I'm relieved to see that you are okay."
Danny coughed and Scott gave him a sip of water, then Danny asked in weak voice, "Only family… member… can… get… in… the… room… how?"
"I told them that I am your boyfriend." Scott said smugly to him.
"Thank you…"
"Well… who do we have here?" Lou said as he entered the room, with Steve following him.
"My name is Steve McGarrett and this is my partner, Lou Grover. We're from 5-0, we needed to ask for your statement but since we have a development in the case, we need to ask you some questions." McGarrett told Danny.
"It seemed that you were trying to rob the bank, according to the security guard, and the suspect is claiming that you were trying to take his role in stealing and taking all the money from the bank." Steve said.
"He tried to call for help," Scott said, and whispered to Danny, "You didn't do anything wrong; you risked your life to protect the bank, the security guard and the attacker are at fault."
"How do you know what happened?" Lou asked, noticed how paler Danny's looked.
"Did you ask Levi and Diego? They were watching Danny." Scott asked.
"No, they might be around." Steve answered, his eyes never leaving Danny.
"Can you at least remove this?" Scott pointed toward the cuff.
When no one moves to uncuff Danny's hand, Scott told them, "He was knifed and shot, he is not the guilty guy here, you should do your job better than this."
Lou walked toward Danny and then uncuffed him, and told Scott, "It is good that he has a good friend like you to look after him, and we will come back."
"I prefer that you come back after you do your job." Scott said.
"He is my boyfriend, Lou," Danny said as he tried to move once his hand was released so he could be more comfortable, but he moaned in pain and Scott hurried toward his side to help him, and the ex-cop added, "I am lucky to have him."
"It's good to see you okay Mr. Williams." Steve told him and left the room, Lou nodded toward the couple and left also.
Scott asked Danny, "Do you know them?"
"Only this McGarrett guy, he was my previous partner." Danny told him.
"Something that I should know?" Scott asked.
"Not right now, but we'll talk about it, we both need to talk." Danny said.
"You know, since our date didn't go as planned, I think I will bring you home with me once you have permission to be released from the doctor, and I don't want to hear you say the word 'No'." Scott told him as he held his hand.
"Are you sure about that?" Danny asked him.
"Very, besides, it's time for other people to take care of you, my hero."
In the meantime, Levi and Diego found the room where Danny was, they were angry that they were directed to another hospital while the cops were all over the hospital.
"There you are, we've been sent to the wrong hospital." Levi said as he tried to catch his breath.
"How are you brah?" Diego asked and added, "Is Scott taking care of you?"
"I'm good now, and I have all I need right now. Thank you."
"I'll be right back Danny, rest a bit." Scott told him and led Levi and Diego outside the room.
"We have a problem." Scott told them.
"What's wrong?" Levi asked.
"5-0 accused Danny of robbing my bank, can you believe that?"
"They are wrong, we saw what happened," Diego sighed before he added, "Take care of him, we will let Kawika know all the details and we'll help him."
"You know I will, never left his side since this happened." Scott said and left them to be with Danny who was back to sleep, he was glad that his boyfriend was starting to recover.
