Street was driving through the city on the way to Hondo's, he couldn't believe what he did earlier today. He went into a building in attempt to catch the suspect, even though the building was falling apart, he could have been killed. I mean sure he surivived but it's just luck.
It doesn't erase the near trauma that he given Street, if he lost Hondo it wouldn't be able to take it, he already went through alot, it just would be one more trauma he'd have to live with, and he just wasn't willing to live with it.
He needed to talk to him, it really hit him that he would have missed the opportunity to tell Hondo how he felt, it might make things awkward but if he's going to almost die or actually die, atleast he would know. He wouldn't have to carry around the truth in heart.
Street parked outside the house, he got out of the vehicle withy determination to tell him truth, hell he might just yell at Hondo for what he did. He banged on the door, the door opened
"Street?"
Street walked through the door, "Do you love me?"
"What?"
"Do you love me?"
Hondo was silent, "Street-
"Do you love me Daniel Harrelson? Because I do."
Hondo was silent, it was always like this, Street would say how he would be feel and Hondo would listen. Street could express anything, he go on continuously, and Hondo would just listen.
"I do care for you Street, I never have not cared for you."
"I didn't ask if you cared for me, I asked if you loved me. Because I love you," said Street, "But if you don't love me, I will leave and I will never bother you again, we can protect each other, but we don't have to deal with each other, I can survive."
"Street, it's not like that." Hondo began to explain
"Do you love me? If you don't love me I will leave."
"Street, it's not matter about you, it's me, I have too much burden on me, I have too much pain that I'm carrying-"
"I would split heaven and earth to protect you, I would dive in the rings of hell if it means to bring you back! I will be fight the world if it means to keep the pain away from you! Now I am asking you, DO YOU LOVE ME-"
"I LOVE YOU!"
Street stood there listening as Hondo spoke "I love you…the mo..the moment that I met you, the day we met, when I first laid eyes on you. Seeing you is like watching the sunrise, seeing radiance of the rays as the clouds, hearing you speak is hearing harps play in the heavens, I want nothing more but to listen to you speak, to see you….I love you James Street."
Street opened his arms to hug Hondo, Hondo fell into hug, soaking the comfort from being vulnerable. There was no greater feeling knowing that they could trust each other with their words, emotions and to go so far to trust each other's lives. Hondo made a mission to never hurt Street, he made it mission to protect him from all dangers of the world, to make sure he would never have feel the experience of being unsafe like his childhood. For that, Street would make sure Hondo would feel that same safety he never gotten before. The world is not safe, but with each other, they always be safe.
