Chapter 15
~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~
Danny looked down at Steve when Chin pulled the truck into the driveway, to find Steve asleep still. Danny really didn't want to wake him but he didn't have a choice. They needed to get Steve upstairs.
"Steve, wake up."
Steve groaned and opened his eyes and then sat up to find them in his driveway. Steve opened the door and found Danny already waiting by the door for him. Climbing out of the back of the truck Steve let Danny help him into the house and was taken straight upstairs. Chin and Kono were already inside before them and deactivated the alarm. Chin and Kono followed up them up the stairs in case their help was needed. Danny sat Steve down on the bed before turning to Chin and Kono.
"Do you guys mind staying till the doc gets here. I'm going to help Steve clean up."
"Sure brah. How does pizza sound?" Chin asked.
"Sounds good." Steve said from the bed.
"Alright brah go get cleaned up." Kono said.
Chin and Kono turned to head out as Danny turned back to them. He knew he heard a slight change in Kono's tone and looked to Steve to see him smirking and looking at Danny. Danny's eyes widened before looking back down the hall.
"Don't you dare put pineapple on my pizza Kono!" Danny yelled down the hall.
Both Steve and Danny could hear the cousins laughing downstairs. Danny smiled and looked at Steve who was already trying to stand up. Danny quickly walked over and grabbed his arm.
"Would it hurt for you to ask for help? It's not like we are going to see you as weak for asking. It would actually be a blessing if you acted normal."
Steve smiled and wrapped his arms around Danny and pulled him in close. Danny was a bit shocked at this but wrapped his arms around Steve as well.
"I'm glad you stayed."
"What are you talking about Steve?"
"I expected you to run once we left the park."
"Why would I do that?"
"Because of what happen? Some of the pack trying to attack you."
"Steve you dealt with it."
"Sure that's from within my own pack. But Danny we aren't the only pack on the island there are three other packs plus those on the other island. Some alpha might not like that I'm choosing to date you."
"Steve we'll deal with it when the time comes. Now let's get you cleaned up." Danny helped Steve back up and into the bathroom. "Do you need a hand getting cleaned up?"
"I should be fine Danny."
"Alright. I'll get you some clothes while you clean up."
Danny left the bathroom and Steve quickly as possible undressed and cleaned up. Danny when he heard the shower going placed some clothes on the counter before going and waiting on the bed. When Steve finally came out he was only dressed in the shorts and was drying his hair and the shirt thrown over his shoulder.
"I don't suppose the doc is here yet is he?"
"No not yet. Chin and Kono are downstairs waiting for him."
"Let's go downstairs and wait. I don't see the point in putting the shirt on to just have to take it off again."
Danny nodded and helped Steve downstairs and to the couch. Steve relaxed in the couch as Danny sat beside him quietly. There was obviously a lot going through Danny's mind right now so Steve decided to not interrupt his thoughts. Kono brought in beers for everyone while they waited for dinner and put on the game that was on tonight. Only a few minutes into the game the pizza arrived and Steve got Danny to get the money from his wallet.
"Seriously you actually have money in your wallet?" Danny started to rant after he paid the delivery boy and closed the door. "Maybe I should just carry your wallet from now on so you actually pay for things. You have heaps on money in here. " Danny started to rant.
Chin, Kono and Steve laughed at him. Chin came in with plates as he heard Danny rant. Steve soon stopped and groaned and held his side. He had taken some good hits so his body was sore and he wouldn't be surprised if he had a cracked or fractured ribs from when he was slammed into a couple of times.
"Steve?"
"I'm alright. Shouldn't laugh for a while." Danny glared at him.
"You and your responses in saying your alright, good, fine."
Steve smirked and grabbed a pizza box from him when he got close and sat it on the coffee table as Danny opened the one in hand and glared at it in hatred.
"What's up Danno?"
"Ham and pineapple pizza?" Danny growled out.
Steve picked up the other and looked at it before looking to Danny.
"Looks like they got the orders mixed up. All we have is ham and pineapple pizzas."
Danny glared at him and sat on the couch with his arms crossed making them all laugh again. Thankfully Steve had put down the pizza box before laughing because he double over. Danny quickly moved closer and put his hand on Steve's shoulder.
"Steve you alright? Take some slow deep breathes."
Chin and Kono had stopped laughing when Steve doubled over and were watching on worried. They didn't know the extent of the damage done in the fight. While Steve had been injured with silver the wolf body would work quickly so that it didn't overwhelm their immune system. Whereas normal injuries didn't heal as rapidly since they aren't as dangerous to their body. There was no way to help one with silver in their blood whereas if there are cuts, broken bones or bruises those can be treated more easily. Steve sat up after his body calmed down and smiled lightly at Danny.
"I was joking Danny there is a pepperoni pizza here for you." Steve said and Danny glared at him.
"You need to stop with the jokes till you heal before you hurt yourself even more."
"I'm alright Danno." Steve said and grabbed his hand and gave it a squeeze.
Danny sighed and grabbed a plate and put a piece of ham and pineapple pizza on it. The three in the room just froze and watched in surprise making Danny look at them and frown.
"What?... What is it?" Danny asked again when no one replied and their eyes went to the plate. "Oh you guys really think I'm going to eat this. Not a chance. Do I need to repeat what I think of this stupid islands idea of a good slice is." Danny said as he held the plate out to Steve. "I was getting this so you don't injure yourself more." Danny said as he got himself a slice of pepperoni.
Steve smiled and relaxed on the couch and ate his first slice before there was a knock on the door. Danny put his plate down and went to answer it. The doctor stood there with a larger bag in hand than last time and Danny stepped aside to let him in.
"I'm glad to see you got cleaned up Alpha."
"Doc."
"Alright put the food down so I can treat you."
Danny took the plate from Steve and moved the food out of the way so there was some room on the coffee table in case he needed it. Danny was standing back over where Chin and Kono had been eating dinner.
"Well I'll redo your leg and see what needs to be done. Then I'll deal with the scratches."
"Uh doc you might want to check his chest." Making Steve glare at Danny slightly. "He was laughing before and it hurt. He most likely wouldn't have told you."
"Thank you Detective. You're right he wouldn't have."
Danny went to say something when his phone rang, pulling it from his pocket and groaned. Three pairs of worried eyes looked to him. Danny walked past Chin and Kono, Chin having seen the name on the display. Danny walked over to Steve and put his hand on his shoulder to make sure he understood to stay there before walking into the kitchen as he answered the phone.
"Yes Rachel."
"Oh no." Steve said and looked to Chin and Kono who both looked after Danny. "This isn't going to end well is it?"
"We don't know what this problem is, it could be anything. Let's just wait for Danny to come back." Kono said.
~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~
"Yes Rachel."
"Daniel don't talk to me that way."
"Rachel I'll talk to you anyway I like. You aren't my mother. Now what do you want?" Danny said as he walked outside.
"Is there anything new you want to tell me."
"No not that I know of." Danny was hoping and praying Grace didn't say anything about the issue both Steve and himself stressed to her about.
"How about the fact that you are going out with your boss."
"Rachel that is none of you business."
"It is my business Daniel. You're exposing Grace to something so wrong and unorthodox."
"Excuse me!" Danny said in a raised voice.
~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~
"Excuse me!" Steve turned to the backyard when he heard this.
"Doc wait a few minutes please."
Steve got up and quickly and carefully made his way to Danny. He didn't really need help getting around but knew Danny had been worried about him so he let Danny help him.
~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~
"How dare you! What gives you the right to say something like that."
"Daniel you are exposing Grace to something she shouldn't."
"How is me being with Steve something she shouldn't see. What that we are in love. How is that so bad? I love him." Danny saw Steve come outside stare at him in shock at the words he said.
"You are both men. It's wrong."
"Grace didn't seem to have a problem with it when we told her. In fact she was thrilled."
"He was with you when you told her?"
"Yes."
"Daniel you should know you continue this I won't let Grace see you."
"You threatening me Rachel?"
"No Daniel just think on it. If you continue this than I will have no choice but to protect Grace."
"She doesn't need protecting."
"Yes she does."
"For the sake of my sanity why does she?"
"From this lifestyle phase you are trying out."
"Lifestyle phase! Lifestyle phase. For the love of god Rachel it's not a phase. She has accepted this. This would actually be good for her to actual see how a normal relationship is meant to be. With love from both parties and those parties also showing her love. Not trying to buy her love."
Steve decided then to act. Steve quickly walked over and took the phone from Danny who stared at him in shock before walking down towards the beach. Steve took a deep breath because he was also angry now.
"Rachel this is Commander McGarrett. I think maybe you should both take the night to calm down and maybe come into the office tomorrow to talk about this."
"Commander I don't have to discuss the custody arrangements of my daughter with you."
"If you want a fight I'm more than happy to give it to you. Danny has done nothing but be helpful and moved his entire life to an island where you dragged his daughter. Maybe you should be grateful and come and discuss this because otherwise a fight with me is what you will get. I heard you threaten Danny since I was standing next to him. So I will see you tomorrow."
Steve hung up and looked to see Danny walking back to him. He'd taken a short walk out of hearing distance before walking back over. Steve smiled at him sadly before handing back his phone and pulled him close.
"I'm sorry Danny."
"It's not your fault Steve."
"Look she's coming to the office tomorrow. I'll be there to talk if you need me to. But I thought before you both did something you regret I thought it might be best for you both to calm down."
"Thank you. I could lose Grace."
"I won't let that happen Danny."
Danny smiled but knew that if Rachel didn't want Danny around Grace than she wouldn't let him. Her lawyer was one of the most expensive on the island and as much as he wanted he could only afford shitty lawyers that got him the custody arrangement already. They would never be able to stop this.
Steve wrapped his arms around him and held him close before bringing him back inside. Chin and Kono knew not to say anything and gave a sad smile so Danny knew that they were there for him. Danny sat down at the end of the couch as Steve sat back down so the doc could finish with his leg and other injuries he had.
"Well Alpha that's all of it. I would like it if you could take a couple of days off field duty till that muscles in your leg heal along with the cracked ribs." Steve had a few cracked ribs on his right side but they weren't broken and should heal quickly. "But desk duty is fine." Steve glared at him since all of his team hear it.
"Ha! We heard it straight from the doc Steve, you're role is desk duty for what three days?" Danny asked the doc.
"Three, four days and it should be nothing more than a nasty scratch, so four days and you can return to field duty."
"So guess what Steve you can't trick us." Danny said a big smile on his face knowing he would be able to keep Steve there and he couldn't lie to them.
Steve glared at the doc who just packed his things away and nodded to them all before leaving. Steve looked around them all who were smirking and he sighed and sat down further in the couch. Steve took his pizza back as Danny passed it to him and after an hour or so Chin and Kono left after helping Danny clean up.
"We'll see you guys tomorrow." Chin said. "Don't rush in."
"Look after Steve, Danny." Kono said as she climbed into Chin's car.
"I can look after myself guys." Steve called out from beside Danny on the front step.
"Sure babe we've seen how you look after yourself." Danny said with a smile as they headed inside.
Steve chuckled and locked up and set the alarm before following Danny upstairs. Steve pulled his shirt off and went searching for a tank top as Danny came out of the bathroom changed into something to sleep in. Steve pulled on his shirt before climbing into bed and waiting for Danny. Danny climbed into bed and laid down after turning off the bedside lamp and looking at Steve who turned off his own. Steve rolled onto his side and looked at Danny in concern.
"What?"
"I can help if Rachel takes things too far."
"It's alright Steve I think it was just a bit of a shock for her. She's always threatening to take full custody and not let me see Grace, but I just don't see her doing that to Grace. Me maybe, but not Grace."
"I'll help if you need it. All you have to do is ask."
"Thanks babe. How are you feeling?"
"I'm ok, little sore but ok."
Steve pulled Danny in closer and wrapped his arm around him and held him close. Danny sighed and wrapped his own arm over Steve, carefully keeping it down low below his ribs, and rested his head below Steve's on his shoulder, as Steve had rolled onto his back and half dragged Danny onto his chest so his head was resting on his shoulder.
"Danny can I ask you something?"
"Sure babe what's up?"
"Did you mean it? What you said to Rachel I mean?"
"Mean what?"
"That you love me."
"Yes I did Steve. Why?"
"It's just I thought it might take longer for you to admit it. I mean this is all new and probably strange to you. Having feelings for your male partner. You were married so I thought it might take a while for you to get used to it."
"I admit it is strange but I don't mind. It's not strange for you?"
"No. I'm bisexual Danny. It wouldn't be my first time with a man."
Danny nodded and tighten his grip a little before relaxing against Steve as he could hear Steve's own breathing start to even out but his grip remained firm. Danny closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep along with Steve.
