Hi everyone!

This text was written for the event "Whumptober" which in I chose four prompts for four chapters.

I don't own the characters, they are all Hawaii 5-0 author's propriety.

And thank you again to all who wrote me a review, it means a lot for me;

I want to thank Nyarobinson ( u/13435268/) for the corrections.

Enjoy!

Chapter 4: Broken Heart

The 5-0 and their family were standing at the side of the cemetery. The comrades from Steve's ex-regiment carried the coffin on their shoulder. They walked rhythmically in silence. The atmosphere was heavy, Danny was trying to restrain himself from crying but it was not easy. It was his fault.

As the soldiers passed in front of him, he let the tears flow out. They left the coffin on the strips provided for this purpose on the top of the hole.

Danny took Grace in his arms and held her in a tight hug. They were both crying.

The soldiers folded the flag and dropped it on the coffin then walked backward for a few steps.

One by one, Steve's Ohana went to the coffin to say farewell. Danny went with Grace.

"I'm sorry. I love you Steve," he whispered on touching the wood.

Danny felt like dying inside. He felt guilty. He felt a huge hole in his heart. This hole increased as the coffin was descending into his last place. While the soldiers filled in the hole, Danny felt himself filling with black. He now had a black hole inside him which sucked in all the love, happiness and beauty around him.

Steve's comrades moved into line and took out their muskets. The trumpet started to play and they fired.

Danny woke up with a start. He looked around him relieved to not be at the cemetery but at the hospital. Steve had been out of the surgery for two weeks and hadn't woken up yet. Danny hadn't left the room. He couldn't leave him.

Each time Danny felt asleep he had the same nightmare: Steve's funeral. He always woke up with the shotguns and kept the sensation of the black hole inside him.

The blond knew he was consumed by this black hole. Every day the hole increased with his culpability and he looked more and more like a ghost.

Nevertheless he was not ready to take care of himself, to try to reduce that hole, or to leave the room. He would not leave it without Steve.

Chin and Kono looked at him through the windows in the doors. They both were worried. No one knew if Steve would wake up one day. They were in pain about Steve's situation and worried for Danny. They didn't want to lose the both of them. So, like after each visit, they went to the ocean and prayed for their friends.

End
