Chapter Two
'I'm not good at stuff like this. I don't want to lose you. Everyone I have ever loved left me. I…..' Steve chokes out the words as if it physically hurt him to say them.
Danny could see how difficult that saying that had been for Steve. He was a man who had always kept his emotions in check. It was something he had to do with the missions he had been sent on. Danny knew that he should tell Steve that they can only be friends. That is what he should do. That was something he couldn't do, no he wouldn't destroy the man he loves. It would devastate him to.
'I love you too Steve. I know I shouldn't, but I can't help it. You and Gracie mean the world to me. I can't imagine my life without your brand of insanity in it.' Danny looked away from Steve. He was just as terrified that he could be rejected. They both knew that they shouldn't be together. With how some people would react negatively to them both being men, they knew they could get discriminated against. They were also in high profile jobs, which was the Governor's task force. Then there was the fact that Steve was the boss, and Danny worked under him. It would make their lives more difficult. It could also make Grace's world more difficult as well. Danny knew that Grace wouldn't mind, she loved her Uncle Steve more than anyone, except for him. Just remaining work buddies and best friends was the smart thing to do.
No one ever accused the two men of being smart. Danny had actually told Steve that he was the opposite, on many occasions.
Steve reached out and grabbed Danny's chin with his fingers. He moved Danny's face, so they looked at each other. Without another word, the two men moved towards each other, and then it happened. Their lips finally met in a soft kiss. It couldn't be anymore, not now, but it was the beginning of something special. It was the start of them being together.

Cat had sat outside, she felt a little lost. She knew that she had to give him some time. That was when she saw Steve rush out followed closely by Danny. Something was obviously going on, something had happened between the two men. This might be something she could use to show Steve that they should be together, here in Hawaii. She started the car that she had rented and carefully followed the Camaro.
As she was taking her time, it was obvious where they were heading. Cat thought that if she took her time, there would be no chance of them being able to figure out she was following. She got out of her car and ran around to the back of the house she wondered if that was where they were. Cat wanted them to be so she could overhear them. If they weren't, she would figure something else out. Cat's mouth fell open at the sight on the beach. The two men kissed slowly their arms wrapped around each other. She had never known that Steve had been interested in men, was interested in his partner. It hit her that it must be more than attraction they wouldn't ruin their lives for just a fling. Cat could see when the two men looked at each other they were in love with each other.
Cat's face became red as she got angrier and angrier. Steve had been using her. She had been something just to pass the time. She had given him everything.
'I'm such a fool.' She growled. That was going to change. Cat was going to get Steve back, after all he was hers. Danny was going to suffer for stealing away what was hers. She was really going to make him suffer, and once she figured out what it was Detective Daniel 'Danno' Williams was going to regret setting foot in Hawaii and meeting Lt Commander Steven J McGarrett. The thing that he will be most sorry for was getting in the way of something that Lt Catherine Rollins wanted. She played to win, and she had never wanted anything as much as she wanted Steve.
