"I"m going to be late." Steve told Danny over the phone. "Mary...she uh...they were holding her at the airport."
"Your sister is here?" Danny asked, excited. "Wait...what do you mean holding? Did you have the poor woman detained so you could..."
"She had herself detained...decided it was okay for her to smoke on the plane." Steve explained, scowling at the laughter he heard on the other end of the phone.
"Clearly she enjoys following the rules as well as her big brother."
"Can you get started while I get this squared?"
"Deep breath Steven, it has been a long time since you have seen her."
"Yeah...Moms funeral." Danny's gut clenched, he didn't realize it had been that long.
"I'm sure the two of you will have a nice heart to heart then."
"We have talked on the phone...just haven't been in the same state."
"Try to skip the aneurism face."
"I don't have an aneurism face."
"Sure you do...just look in the mirror right now." Danny smiled.
"Goodbye Daniel." Steve said hanging up the phone, now smiling. As ridiculous as his Partner may be at times he knew he would be more relaxed walking into the airport after talking to him.
When he arrived at the crime scene a couple hours later he saw Danny walking with a cane. "What happened to you?"
"Oh uh I blame you." Danny answered. "Tore my ACL somewhere in the last few weeks...all the fun we've been having together."
"Heh..well once your done bitching about your boo-boo I'd like to know what is going on here."
"We got an escaped prisoner...three dead guards...department of public safety is trying to figure out what happened."
"Where's Chin and Kono?"
"Inside getting background." Danny told him. "That your sister in the car?"
"Yeah, I just came from the airport."
"If she were a dog you could get a ticket for leaving her."
"Can we just focus please?"
"Yeah." Danny smirked, "Why do you have aneurism face?"
"I don't have aneurism face." Steve barked back.
Danny saw Mary smile at them from the car, "Could have someone take her back to headquarters."
"No. Don't trust anyone to keep her out of..."
"Why don't you have Kamekona meet us back at HQ?"
"Kamekona?"
"If she tries to run just have him sit on her or something."
"Very nice Danno." Steve said rolling his eyes as he walked over to a uniform instructing him to do exactly what Danny had suggested.
When Steve found himself playing a pickup game of basketball to get information from a prisoner he was glad that Danny knew what to say to help him win...where ones weakness lay the other found strength thus making them perfect Partners.
"When did you learn to play ball?" Steve asked while driving back to HQ.
"Recess...like most normal kids."
"You are short."
"You're a fabulous detective."
"Basketball is typically for..."
"You, Steven are tall and you did not play basketball."
"Football was my sport."
"And baseball was mine but I still know how to play basketball."
"And you can swim." Steve smirked.
"Just because I can do something does not mean I enjoy it."
"Whatever you say Danno."
Back at the palace Danny told Steve, "You should change your shirt...look like an animal... and you should apologize to your sister, she's been sitting in your office for five hours."
"Thanks Buddy."
"I'll take it from here." Danny told Steve as the man walked into his office. Danny stood and watched his partner and he had an uncomfortable conversation with his sister, waiting until Steve visibly relaxed before he walked over to Chin at the computer table.
As soon as Chin had the address he stuck his head into Steve's office, "Hey, I got an address. Mary, right?"
"Sis, meet Danno."
"Danny Williams." As the two siblings ribbed him over his tie he smiled, family.
"Great timing." Danny said as Kamekona walked in, earning quite the glare from Mary.
The bickering between partners didn't stop as they walked out of the office, the drive in the car and watching their suspect in the diner. It was calming for both of them. Routine. Danny knew having Mary there was bringing up his locked up feelings about his family...and the death of their parents.
"Pancakes, Babe?" Danny smiled as they drove from the diner towards Pacific Rim Bank.
"Why is it so hard to believe I like pancakes?"
"Didn't Know Super Seals ate people food." Danny shrugged.
"My Mom used to make them for us on weekends."
"I can't chase with my knee."
"Chin will go...you go back and check on Dana." Steve answered like it was no big deal.
"I'm sorry."
"Danno."
"I will check on Dana then go back to the Palace." Danny said as they got out to talk to Kono and Chin at the bank.
"Danno...make sure it heals right...Want it to be you on my six."
Not even an hour later it was Danny holding his six from the palace over the headsets. The two were calmer when bickering and Danny knew the hostage and kidnapping was triggering the memory of his fathers murder.
When Danny saw Mary walk out of Steve's office he followed her and caught her in the elevator. "Runnin?"
"Want to go to the cemetery to see..."
"You know where it is?"
"No..."
"Why did you miss the funeral?"
"Was high...got arrested in LA on my way to the airport."
"Your brother know?"
"If he does he hasn't said anything."
"You clean now?"
"What do you care?" Mary asked crossing her arms as Danny froze the elevator.
"This hasn't been easy on him."
"And it has for me?"
"Mary...He is my Partner...I was working your fathers case when I met..."
"Can you take me to the cemetery then?"
"I have to be here when he gets back."
"You really care about him don't you?"
"I can have a uni take you out there...but promise you will wait there for him."
"You think he will want to?"
"Today was hard on him...the case...he says he's fine but..."
"Thank you for loving my Big Brother Danno."
"You two with the tie and the name..." Danny smiled as he started the elevator again. He took her down and got one of the units to take her out to the cemetery...and hold tight to make sure she didn't run before he went back up to sit in his office.
When Steve walked in he saw Kamekona sitting in his office without Mary and he briefly panicked before realizing Danny had been there too and he knew his Partner wouldn't have just let her leave.
"You give me a ride out there Danno?" He called from his phone outside of the palace.
"You could have asked me before walking out here."
"I thought I would be...but...if...she said we should have a picnic."
"You have my keys Babe." Danny said putting his hand on Steve's shoulder leading him to the Camero.
Danny drove him to pick up a picnic dinner then got on the highway towards the cemetery before Steve turned to look at him. "Got something to say Babe?"
"I keep hearing it...then seeing his...when you said he had hostages...I just..."
"Good that you are talking about it."
"I don't want to go back to the house alone."
"Your sister is staying with you."
When Steve turned to look at him with tears in his eyes Danny pulled off the highway and turned to face his Partner. "You think you can turn on big brother mode and have your picnic...then we can go back to the house and..."
"Don't know what I'd do without you Danno." He mumbled.
"You Ready?"
"No."
"Good." Danny said pulling back onto the road. When he pulled into the cemetery he slowed and looked at Steve, "Get my food outta the bag and you go have your picnic."
"You're Not..?"
"You, Steven...you need to have a conversation with your baby sister. I will be right here to drive you both home." He waved at the unit as he parked the Camero and the officer smiled and waved before heading out.
"Thank you." Steve nodded to the car.
"My food. Your sister." Steve looked at him like he wanted to say something but didn't, "Talk to her...really talk."
An hour later Steve was walking back to the car with his arm around Mary's shoulders and they got in the car without talking. Danny saw the tear stains on Mary's face as she climbed into the backseat. He reached his arm across the passenger seat, around Steve's shoulder, as he backed up and turned around. Steve leaned his head back into the headrest and Danny left his arm there when he saw a tear slide from his partners now closed eyes.
Turning to look at Mary's reflection in the mirror she mouthed a thank you before reaching her hand through the seat and resting it on her brothers arm. When they parked in front of the house Danny climbed out and let Mary out his side when Steve didn't move.
"I am going down to sit by the beach...unlock the back door and I will come in in a while." Danny nodded.
He took his time walking around to the passenger side. Slowly opening the door and reaching in to unbuckle the seatbelt. "Come on McGarrett." Danny said barely above a whisper.
Steve stepped out of the car and followed Danny, dazed as he watched his Partner take out his own key and unlock the house and shut off the alarm. "Go upstairs, I'm going to unlock the back for Mary." Danny told him.
When Danny came back to the front entry, finding Steve still frozen in the same spot he walked back over and pushed him up the stairs. He grabbed two pairs of shorts from Steve's dresser and kicked off his shoes before trading his work clothes for comfort. Steve copied him step for step as the light dimmed quickly now that the sun had set.
"Go to bed Steven." Danny said laying down in his partners bed. Steve laid down on his back staring up at the ceiling. "Come here Babe." Danny whispered as he reached his arm out.
Steve rolled and put his head was on Danny and allowed his tears to silently fall. "I've got you." Danny whispered as he saw the hall light flip on. He pulled his Partner into his side and leaned his head against Steve's.
Mary stood in the doorway watching the exchange and was amazed at how quickly her brother relaxed into a blissful sleep, storing softly. "When I said to take care of him this wasn't what I expected." She said coming over to sit down next to Danny and running her fingers through her brothers short hair.
"It's what he needs." Danny whispered, "When my daughter...when she has a rough days...being held helps. He uh...you guys lost you Mom...didn't have the comfort...he...no matter how old we get being held...it just helps."
"Steve has held you?"
"We've got each other's back." Danny said with a sad smile.
"Thanks Danno." Mary smiled as she gently kissed both of their foreheads before she left them and went into her room across the hall.
"Goodnight Babe." Danny whispered as he closed his eyes, resting his hand on Steve's shoulder.
"Night Danno." Steve sleepily mumbled squeezing his arm tighter across Danny's chest.
