Chapter 7

~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~

It had been over a year since Danny was unwillingly pulled into the Governor's Special Task Force. He'd been through hell and between Steve's complete disregard to proper police procedure and Steve's pack meeting with him every few weeks with reminders, Danny's life had been turned upside down. A couple of times things got heated with the pack and Danny was either bitten or scratched by one of the wolves. Danny was thankful none were deep and he was able to get them treated at the local clinic without too much hassle.

They had finally taken to threatening Danny with his daughter which was the last straw. So Danny was now filling out is transfer papers back to HPD and was going to hand it in at the end of the day before getting ready to pick Grace up on Saturday. Since it was Friday Danny was going to have to leave it on Steve's desk before splitting so he didn't have to stay behind. Danny wasn't one to like people threatening his daughter but because of who these guys were he had no way to protect her. This was the only way to keep her safe.

Danny looked at the time and saw that it was almost time for them all to leave. Steve had decided that unless there was an important case they were on they would finish work at three on a Friday. Seeing as it was almost three, Danny picked up his latest report on their last case along with his transfer papers and slid the transfer underneath the case report so he would be able to get out before he was stopped.

Danny left the office and walked over to Steve's and knocked on the door as he opened it. Steve was on the phone and waved him in. Danny just held up the report and placed it in the 'In Tray' on Steve's desk.

"I'll see you later."

Steve nodded and continued talking on the phone. Danny walked out and took a deep breath when he was not stopped. Danny quickly and calmly moved back to his office and grabbed his things before waving goodbye to Chin and Kono as he left. Danny made it out of the office and to his car. Danny slid in the car and sighed heavily knowing his daughter was now safe.

Steve had been on the phone with the Governor when Danny had come in with the case paperwork. Steve had enjoyed having Danny around the last year and his wolf's side's lust for him had changed and his wolf's side wanted to mate with him but his human side had come to love Danny. Every time he came into the room his heart skipped a beat and the want to pull Danny into his arms and kiss him was sometimes almost too strong but he had been able to keep himself under control.

Steve hung up and picked up the case file that Danny had dropped off and just before he was about to open it and read it, he noticed another file underneath it that wasn't there before. Steve picked it up and opened it and he almost lost control, as both sides wanted to growl in anger. He was able to keep himself in control thankfully.

Steve quickly scanned the document and saw that it was all filled out all it needed was his signature of approval and it would be done. Steve quickly closed the document and grabbed his things and hurried out the door. He saw Chin and Kono looked surprised and quickly went to follow him.

"Boss where are you going?"

"After Danny."

"Why would you do that?" Chin asked.

"He put in for a transfer."

Steve was already in his truck and pulled out of his parking spot and took off down the road. Chin and Kono looked at each other before heading back inside to finish up and head on home.

"This isn't good." Kono said.

"No it isn't but hopefully everything will work out."

~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~

Steve pulled into his driveway and grabbed the things from the back of the truck and headed on inside. All he wanted to do was go to Danny's place and give him a piece of his mind but he thought of a different way to do it. Steve put the things he purchased away before looking at the time. It was nearly five o'clock and he knew if he left it any longer than he wouldn't be able to get Danny over.

Steve pulled his phone out of his pocket and quickly dialled Danny's number. He half expected him not to answer or to have his phone turned off but was pleasantly surprised when he actually answer the phone.

"Hello."

"Danny."

"Steve. What's going on? Don't tell me we have a case?"

"No we don't have a case. Want to come over for beers and watch the game?"

"Sure. Did you just leave work?"

"No left a few minutes after you did. Didn't even check the case report you left. I'll deal with it Monday." Steve answered and heard a faint sigh of relief. "So you in?"

"Yeah alright. Chin and Kono in?"

"No they had plans already."

"Alright. I'll be there in ten."

"See you then."

Steve hung up and grabbed the esky and filled it will ice and beer before taking it out towards where a couple of reclining chairs were set up at the edge of the lawn just before the beach started. Steve then headed back inside and changed out of his work clothes into something more comfortable, consisting of board shorts and singlet. Steve headed back downstairs and turned the TV on and set it to record the game that was on tonight before turning off the sound just as Danny turned up.

As normal Danny just waltzes on inside without knocking. Steve just shook his head and followed after Danny out to the beach. Danny had already opened two beers before he even sat down. Danny handed him a beer before relaxing against the chair. Steve leaned back into his chair and took a mouthful of beer before sighing softly. He wasn't sure how or when it would be best to ask Danny about the transfer. Danny hearing the sigh looked at Steve and saw he was troubled.

"What's going on Steve?" Danny asked and he had a feeling he knew what it was.

Steve sat up and put his beer on top of the esky and leaned his elbows on his knees. Danny had a sinking feeling now.

"You put in for a transfer back to HPD." Steve stated.

"Yes."

"Why? Why now all of a sudden? I thought you were happy here. Sure not in the first few months but I thought now that you were happy here."

"Steve it's complicated."

"Then un-complicate it." Steve said.

"Steve I just can't. I best go."

Danny sat the beer down on the esky and headed back off the beach. Steve jumped to his feet and moved in front of Danny.

"Hey wait a minute. Stop. Explain it to me."

"McGarrett just leave it be and get out of my way."

"Not till you explain it to me."

"Well too bad since there is nothing you need to know. What you going to tie me up and not let me to go till I tell you."

"I'm considering it."

Danny sighed and turned around and walked out towards the water with Steve following after him. Steve stood behind him with his arms crossed prepared to catch him if he tries to run. But he knew Danny wouldn't bother trying since Danny knew that he wouldn't get far if he tried.

"Look Steve please just leave it be. I need to do this."

"Well I'm sorry you're transfer is denied."

"You can't keep me there Steve. I'll just quit if I have to. I really didn't want it to come to that."

"Well too bad. I'm not letting you leave without an explanation even then I probably won't accept it anyway so you might as well tell me now and get it over with."

Danny just remained silent and turned to leave again and got stopped by Steve who grabbed his arm. Danny went to sock him in the jaw just to get away but Steve grabbed that arm to stop him and Danny started to struggle with him. Steve saw his only chance to hopefully stop him for leaving and only hoped it would work.

Steve pulled Danny forward and lowered his head down and stole Danny's lips and instantly Danny stilled. Steve slipped his tongue into Danny's mouth. Danny didn't know what to do, he had wanted to do this for a long time but he knew this would be dangerous for him and his daughter but he was more worried about his daughter's safety.

Danny couldn't help but moan and that brought him back to his senses and pulled away quickly. Danny had to still lean into Steve slightly while he caught his breath and stopped feeling like he was going to collapse.

"Steve we can't."

"Why?"

"Just because."

"That's not an answer Danny."

"Steve..."

Danny was cut off when Steve kissed him again. Steve let go of his arms and held on to his waist and pulled him closer. Danny moaned and grabbed hold of his upper arms and held onto him. He wanted this there was no doubt and when he pulled away he gasped for breath before Steve pulled him back in. He didn't want to leave but he didn't have a choice. When Danny pulled away for what seemed like the hundredth time he put his head down onto Steve's shoulder in the hopes he would let him catch his breath.

"Steve I have to leave Five-0." Danny said as Steve wrapped his arms around him.

"Then explain it to me because it doesn't make sense to me. Not unless someone is threatening you." This caused Danny to tense up in his arms. "That's it isn't it. You're being threatened. Who Danny?"

"Steve I can't."

"Danny I can help but you have to tell me. Chin and Kono would help to I'm sure."

"I can't..."

"Danny I'm going to get Chin and Kono over tomorrow, we'll have a barbecue..."

"I have Grace tomorrow I..."

"I haven't finished talking Daniel. We'll have a barbecue, Grace can go swimming. It will be good. And I won't take no for an answer."

"Ok."

"Ok. Now sit down and finish your beer."

Steve let him go and they sat back down and finished drinking their beer. Steve was trying to figure out who was threatening Danny but nothing came up. He knew Danny would eventually tell him but he didn't want to press it tonight.

"Let's go watch the game." Danny spoke up after a long period of silence between them.

"Alright."

They headed inside with Steve bringing in the esky and sat on the couch. Steve turned up the volume and they relaxed on the couch drinking beer. By the time the game was over it was late and they had probably had one too many beers. Danny was reaching for his phone to call a cab.

"Danny just stay the night. You can sober up and pick Grace up in the morning."

"It's fine."

"Danny I'm serious don't waste your money on a cab. You can stay the night and don't make me handcuff you."

"Fine." Danny huffed.

"Good. I'll make up the spare bed in Mary's old room."

"Steve I'll be fine on the couch down here."

"Either Mary's old room or my room. It's not debatable."

"Your room?" Steve just smirked at Danny which sent shivers down his spine. "Now don't you think that's a little fast? I'm not even sure we are dating." Steve's face fell at that. "Steve I didn't mean it like that. You kissed me out on the beach yes, but you didn't say you wanted to date."

"I didn't want to force you into anything. I wasn't even sure you were interested till you responded. I didn't see any other way to stop you from leaving so I figured that if I couldn't get you to stop leaving than there was nothing holding me back from trying. So what do you say, will you go out with me?"

Danny realised now that he had no choice but to tell him about why he was leaving Five-0 or he had been trying since he wouldn't be able to get out now.

"Steve I can't." Steve's face dropped. "It's not that I don't want to."

"Then what huh?"

"I've been told to stay away from you and to leave Five-0. It's been like this for a while. But they threatened that something would happen to Grace, I just couldn't refuse."

"She ok?" Steve asked worried about the little girl.

He wasn't good with children but he liked Danny's little girl. He would protect like she was his own and wouldn't let anything happen to her.

"Yeah they haven't touched her, just threatened to."

"Who Danny? Who?"

Danny sighed. "Your pack. The Beta mainly."
