"What made you fall in love with him?" Chin asked reluctantly, not wanting to know but finding himself needing to know the reason why Steve McGarrett had won Danny's heart.
It was a question Steve had been asked by Rachel just a few days before and it was a question that Danny did not even have to think about the answer to. "He smiled!" Danny smiled as he stared lovingly across Chin's shoulder at the man who was ordering another round of drinks for the three of them.
Chin felt a sharp stab of jealousy, instantly understanding, as he looked down into his beer glass before looking back at the man who he loved with all his heart. Steve's smile might have won Danny's heart but Danny's smile had won his.
"He smiled!"
It was the only explanation that Danny gave and the one explanation that Chin understood so well. But those two words broke his heart, shattering it into a million pieces. Those two words and the knowledge that his own love for Danny would, for now, remain unspoken and unknown to the other man.
Nodding silently, Chin took another sip of his beer as he looked over the rim of his glass at the man whom he loved, aware that just like Steve had won Danny's heart, Danny Williams had stolen his heart with a simple smile.
