Thank you so much for all of the reviews! I love reading each and every one of them! I might not be able to post as much because school just started, but I'll keep trying.

Steve POV

By the time they made it to Steve's house, he was exhausted. He let Danny help him inside, leaning on him heavily until they made it to the couch. Usually that would bother Steve, but he was too happy about being home with his family to let his pride, or pain, get in the way. He sunk back into the couch, closing his eyes. He was so glad to be back home. After a few moments, he opened his eyes, peering back over his shoulder. Kono was in the kitchen, busting herself by getting him a glass of water. Danny and Chin had grabbed two beers and walked out onto the lanai, probably talking about him. Steve didn't mind, his friends loved him, and he knew that this had taken an emotional toll on all of them.

Kono appeared in front of Steve, setting his glass of water on the coffee table. "Thanks Kono," Steve said graciously before taking a large sip. Just walking from his driveway to his couch, while being supported mostly by Danny, had tired him beyond belief. Steve knew that the doctor had told him that it could take a while to get back to his old self, but Steve hadn't realized just how far away from normal he was until now. Steve couldn't focus on those thoughts now though, as Kono's big brown eyes peered at him anxiously.

"Come sit with me," Steve ordered, and Kono complied without hesitation. She sat on Steve's left, not injured side. She was being cautious, not getting too close. While Steve appreciated that Kono didn't want to accidentally hurt him, she was frustrated that after what happened at the airport she was afraid to even touch him. Steve put his good arm around Kono and pulled her closer. She laid her head down on Steve's shoulder, all worry seemed to be gone. Steve began to absentmindedly run his fingers through Kono's hair. It was so soft. He had missed her so much. Just having Kono with him, knowing that they were finally together and reunited made Steve feel better than any medicine could.

"I missed you a lot," Steve admitted quietly, brushing his lips against Kono's ear as he spoke. "I missed you too," Kono replied softly into Steve's chest, before going up to kiss his cheek. Steve quickly turned his head, and Kono's lips landed on his. He was afraid that Kono would pull away, as at first he sensed apprehension, but that quickly faded into desperation and Kono melted into him and deepened the kiss. Steve kissed her back, and heard a moan escape him as she began to run her fingers through his hair. Steve couldn't believe this was happening. He had waited for this for so long. He slowly slipped his tongue into Kono's mouth, and they began to dance, as if made for each other. Steve heard the back door open, and somewhere in the back of his mind, he knew that meant that Danny and Chin could see them, but he didn't care. Evidently, neither did Kono. She began to run her hands up and down Steve's chest, pulling him closer and closer. Steve couldn't help but groan when she touched his injured shoulder. It hurt like hell, but he didn't want her to stop. Kono had more self control than him though, and pulled away immediately, apologizing profusely.

"Kono, Kono, it's ok," Steve laughed through the burning pain in his shoulder. "It's ok." He chuckled, but at the same time wished Kono would realize how absolutely worth it that kids had been. Not just ok. Ok was the last word Steve would've used to describe what had just happened. He pulled Kono back close to him, needing to reassure her that he was here, and a little bit of pain was something he could deal with if it meant being with her. Steve softly placed another kiss on Kono's lips before he heard Chin clear his throat behind them.

"So...the doctor said someone needs to stay with Steve for at least a week while he's recovering. Danny and I were talking and we had thought he could, but it looks like you two might be wanting some alone time anyway." Chin said, raising his eyebrows mischievously. If he were anyone else, Steve knew Chin would be punching him right now, not laughing with him. Steve loved Chin like a brother, and was humbled that Chin trusted him with Kono. Steve planned on never breaking that trust.

Steve glanced over at Danny, who had been surprising silent so far. He was grinning like a fool. Steve could tell he wasn't shocked, and looked extremely happy for them. Steve was relieved. Though they argued all the time, Danny's opinion could make or break almost anything for Steve, and he really wanted to "make it" with Kono. Steve turned back to Kono as he felt he take his hand. "I guess I'd be willing to stay here, but only if you really, really want me to." She teased with a smirk. "You're going to make me say it? No problem. I would love for you to stay here, Kono."

Kono POV

Kono's heart jumped out of her chest at Steve's words. She couldn't believe that he felt the same way. She had wanted this for so long, and now that it finally happened, it had exceeded all of her expectations. She couldn't help but stare at the beautiful man sitting next to her. The man who had taken control and shown her what she deserved. She deserved to be happy with him. And she sure as hell thought Steve deserved whatever he wanted. If that was her, than she would stop at nothing to show him that he had made the right decision. "Ok, ok, as great as all of this mushy stuff is, I need to have a talk with Steven, please?" Danny spoke up, interrupting Kono's extremely mushy thoughts. Thank God Danny couldn't read her mind.

"Of course," Kono replied as she quickly got up off he couch, her eyes locked with Steve's the whole time. She didn't want Steve to feel like he had to been the one to get up and leave for his private conversation. He deserved to rest. Kono reluctantly followed Chin into the kitchen, already missing the feeling of Steve's lips on hers. She jumped up, sitting on the counter, and smiled to herself, knowing that she already had it bad. She guessed the conversation going on in the living room was Danny wanting to have a heart-to-heart with Steve. Maybe about her, but maybe about what he had been through while he was away. Kono knew that Steve would talk to Danny about the ordeal at some point, maybe today, or maybe a year from now, but she had no doubt that Steve would eventually tell Danny about what had happened while he was gone. Kono just hoped that one day Steve would feel comfortable and trust her enough to tell her as well.

"So cuz..." Chin began, dragging Kono away from her thoughts. "Save it Chin," Kono cut him off. They both knew that Steve would protect and take care of Kono better than any other man on the planet, and Kono wasn't about to let him start with the big protective cousin crap. Steve would never hurt her, and if Chin didn't know that, than he apparently hadn't been paying very good attention to his boss for the past four years. "I was just going to say that I approve. I can't think of a better man for my baby cousin to be with," Chin replied, his voice thick with emotion. Kono smiled, tearing up. "That means a lot cuz, and I know it will mean a lot to Steve, too."

There was no longer noise coming from the living room, so Kono and Chin assumed Danny and Steve's little chat was over. As they walked back in, Danny's voice immediately serenaded them. "So...we all know this isn't just some spur of the moment thing. Even before Steve left, you two had been making puppy dog eyes at each other for a while. I'm just glad it's finally official!" Danny exclaimed. Kono shared a glance with Steve. It wasn't exactly official yet, was it? Steve just smiled, which gave Kono the answer she wanted. He wanted to be with her. She wanted to be with him. That was all that mattered.

Chin and Danny stayed for about another hour, filling Steve in on all the best Five-0 cases he had missed. Kono snuggled into Steve's side, occasionally chiming in, but for the most part just being content with letting the boys catch up. She was staying with Steve now, and wanted both of them to get everything of their chests before they left. Kono knew it would be hard for them to leave Steve when he was this injured, especially Danny. As the conversation had come to a close, Kono could sense Danny's worry. He excused himself, saying he needed to go to the restroom before he left, but Kono didn't buy it. She followed him into the bathroom, where he had left the door wide open. He was standing over the sink, breathing heavily while looking at his reflection in the mirror.

"Danny, you ok?" Kono questioned, very concerned. "I think I might be having a panic attack." Danny responded quietly. "Just the thought of leaving him here. I mean, I know you're here Kono, and logically I know that you are more than capable of taking care of Steve, but I just can't shake this feeling." Kono wrapped Danny up in a big hug. "It's ok, Danny, I'm sure Steve would totally understand if you wanted to stay here tonight. He gets it." Kono replied sympathetically. "No, I'll be ok. I don't want to start a bad habit. I just need to tell myself that he's fine, and you're here, so he's going to continue to be fine." "Thank you, Danny," Kono choked out, feeling honored that Danny trusted her with Steve's safety. Danny was Steve's brother, and their bond was incomparable. Kono couldn't help but hope that one day others would look at her and Steve and think the same thing.
