Disclaimer: see chapter 1, yet like always I'm still not hanging out with Alex and Scott.

Author's Note: I'm warning you right now this chapter has some sex in it, it's nothing too graphic but still it requires an M rating *if only to be completely safe*. Thank you so so much for those of you that have reviewed this story, they always bring a smile to my face to read your kind words.

Warning: Yet again this has sex in it, Male-on-Male sex at that, so if you're not insanely comfortable either don't read or just skip that part. You have been warned so don't review complaining about the sex and whatnot I let you know.

"Well Steve, I think you'll be happy to hear that all your injuries seemed to be completely healed. Your ribs show no signs of bruising and your mobility is much better." Steve smiles broadly at the doctor as they look at his x-rays of his ribs and shoulders. "It seems as if the extra time was all you needed to get back 100%, of course you are at a higher risk of shoulder dislocation than before. But you seem to know how to deal with those."

"So I'm cleared for active duty again?" Steve asked wanting to make sure that when Danny asked he could answer truthfully and if need by the doctor can back him up.

"I don't see why you would need to take it easy anymore. I would suggest that maybe you be careful in the future, but I think that's falling deaf ears." Steve chuckled nodding his head because careful and his job didn't work all that well together, plus Steve's a tough Navy SEAL so he can handle himself.

"Thank you doctor, I know I haven't been the easier patient to deal with." The doctor nodded smiling as he signed the paperwork needed for Steve to go back on active duty. With the last flourish of his pen the longest month of Steve's life was over. He could now actually go out with his team on cases and not worry about hurting himself even more and more importantly he could finally give Danno the proper date he's been waiting for. Smiling as he exited the office, Steve pulled out his phone hoping to brighten the day of a certain detective.

Danny sat in his office anxiously bouncing his leg up and down watching for any sign of Steve. He hopes that all his injuries are healed because if he has to wait another week Danny's going to go crazy. And Steve is completely to blame for Danny's anxious frustrated state. He's been slowly driving him crazy for the past month, kissing him with just enough to make him tingle all over than completely pulling away or using just enough foreplay to get Danny right there and then back off leaving Danny to take care of himself, neither of which Danny was happy about in the least. Jumping at the sudden ringing of his phone Danny quickly picks it up, having a feeling that Steve was about to make his day a ton better. "Steve?" Danny asks resisting the urge to bite on his finger nails.

"I'm good Danny. Everything's healed and I'm back to as close to 100% as I'm going to get." Danny smiles brightly and throws a fist up in the air.

"That's great babe!" Steve smiled hearing the relief and joy laced in his partner's tone.

"So you know what that means right?" Steve asked as he made his way towards his truck keys already in hand. He can't waste a single moment.

"Of course I know what that means, Steve. It's kind of hard to forget." Danny whines still smiling like a kid on Christmas morning. "So what's the plan?"

"All you need to know is that you need to be at my place at 6:30 on the dot and you need to be dressed in your nicest suit. The rest babe is for me to know and for you to find out."

"I can't have anything else? Not even a little hint?" Danny asks his mind already flooding with all the possibilities of what tonight could bring for them.

"Do you still have extra clothes at my place?" Steve asks as he pulls up to the stop sign where he could easily swing by Danny's place if he needed to.

"Yeah I think so. So I'm spending the night huh?" Danny asks trying to be as flirtatious as possible. He really hopes that they end up back at Steve's place by the end of the night.

"That's classified at the moment. Just remember be ready by 6:30 dressed in your best suit. Call me if you need me, otherwise I'll see you later." Quickly hanging up Steve sets out completely his long list of things that need to be done before Danny arrives and after everything he's put Danny through tonight needs to be perfect.

To say Danny is nervous is an understatement. He has no idea what Steven could possibly have planned for them tonight, but there's a small part of Danny that is scared as to what it could be. Steven, when left to his own devices, could be a little bit a menace to society. But Danny trusts Steven; he wouldn't do anything that could potentially wrong tonight, since they both need tonight. After everything they've been through this past year they need a night with just the two of them without any interruptions. Danny just hopes that they finally take that final step into intimacy that Steve's been dangling in front of him for so long now to only then rip away from him. If Danny has his way he'll be getting back at Steve for all those cold shoulders and nights with his right hand that have been caused by him.

When Steve first began thinking of how to give Danny the perfect first proper date and thank him for, well, everything he had thought about taking him out to dinner at the fanciest restaurant he could find. But then that meant he would have to keep his hands to himself, since they weren't exactly broadcasting their relationship, nor were they planning to at least not now. So that meant that the safest place for them to be completely open would be his house, so Steve had made dinner for them. After some careful digging Steve was able to find out what one of Danny's favorite meals was and after a very pleasant conversation with Mrs. Williams one afternoon while Danny was off spending quality father daughter time with Grace, she had offered to send him the recipe for her famous lasagna. Steve just hoped that he didn't screw it up.

The lasagna was in the oven cooking which made the whole house smell delicious, the table was set for two, Steve had the stereo cued up with Frank Sinatra and some of Danny's favorite artists (except Bon Jovi, Steve was not ready for that), and the most important part was that Steve had put fresh sheets on his bed. If tonight went the way that Steve hoped, they would christen their bed. With everything going according to plan Steve quickly rushed upstairs to take a quick shower and get dressed before Danny would be here.

Pulling up to Steve's house, Danny felt a little nervous. He had no clue what was waiting for him behind the door. He only hoped that for once their usual bad luck that followed on them on the job wouldn't be an issue tonight. Taking one last deep breath Danny got out of the Camaro and fixed his suit before quickly making his way towards the house. Pausing outside the door Danny hesitated not knowing if he should just go in or knock. Deciding to use his manners, Danny raised his fist and knocked three times. Steve quickly opened the door and smiled at the sight in front of him. When he had told Danny to dress nicely he didn't think that he would wear a suit that seemed to fit him like a second skin. "Wow Danny." Steve breathed out speechless at just how good his partner looked. Danny blushed slightly and fidgeted pulling at his jacket. "Come in." Steve coughed out moments later motioning for Danny to enter. This was not going well, Steve was tempted to forget about dinner and go straight for desert.

Danny walked in and turned inhaling the sweet aroma coming from Steve's kitchen. He knew that smell. "How did you…?" Danny asked trailing off at the end when he finally looked at Steve. His mind went blank taking in Steve in his James Bond suit, who knew Steve could look so good in a monkey suit? Danny did of course and he thought of himself as a very lucky man.

"I might have called your mom and got her to send me the recipe. She thought it was very sweet of me to try and bring home to you." Danny smiled and crashed his lips against Steve's in a hot demanding kiss. Steve's arms immediately went around Danny's pulling their bodies flush against each other as he pushed his tongue into Danny's mouth. "Mhm." Steve moaned when Danny pulled away his cheeks flushed and panting slightly from their intense kiss.

"Thank you." He whispered resting his forehead against Steve's.

"It's the least I could do for you. You've done so much for me that I can never really thank you enough." Danny smiled kissing Steve gently.

"You'd do the same for me, so really you don't need to thank me." Steve sighed and tightened his grip on Danny.

"I should probably go pull the lasagna out before it burns." Danny nods and steps back giving Steve room to move into the kitchen before following him. "Can I get you something to drink? I have beer and wine." Steve asks pulling on his oven mitts and pulling the lasagna out of the oven. Danny inhales the delicious smell and moans in anticipation.

"I'll have whatever you're having." Danny asks his eyes never leaving Steve as he moves about the kitchen with such ease and grace. Steve pulls two wine glasses down and uncorks the red wine he's had chilling in the fridge. Passing Danny a glass he motions for Danny to take a seat at the table while he gets everything else ready for dinner.

Danny smiles when Steve finally sits down across from him. Steve looks even more breathtakingly gorgeous in the soft glow of the candles and the way that Steve's arm muscles ripple as he cuts a piece of lasagna for Danny makes Danny want to skip dinner and get onto desert.

"I hope that it turned out alright. I was a bit nervous that I wouldn't follow the recipe correctly, so I apologize if it doesn't taste good." Danny chuckles and cuts a small piece and slowly (to torture Steve) bringing it from his plate to his mouth. Judging by the way that Steve's eyes follow his fork from his plate to his mouth and the way his eyes glaze over with lust, Danny's knows that tonight is going to end in a happy ending. Steve watches Danny finally taste it and he hopes that he didn't screw it up too badly.

"Mhm babe, it's just like mom used to make. You did great." Danny compliments using his free hand to reach across the table and grab Steve's hand. "It's delicious." Steve grins and sighs in relief.

"So how's this for a proper date?" Steve asks after a few moments of silence have passed between them.

"You couldn't have done better." Danny replies washing down the last bit of his lasagna with more wine. Steve smiles for the umpteenth time that night and can't help but feel complete. "What do you say we put the food away and leave the dishes for later? I don't think I can wait for desert any longer." Danny suggests reaching his foot and rubbing it lightly up Steve's leg. Steve gasps as Danny's foot gets closer to his erection. He's been hard through most of dinner, what with Danny's pure sexual sounds as he ate and drank. Danny smirks in satisfaction as his foot rubs against Steve's hard cock a few times and Steve grabs his fork so tight his knuckles turn white.

"Sounds good Danno." Steve breathes out pushing away from the table and blowing out the candles. Danny watches as Steve makes quick work of putting the food away and suddenly appears in front of him his hand outstretches ready to pull Danny up from his chair. Danny grabs Steve's hand and lets Steve pull him up and towards his hard chest his mouth devouring Danny's. Danny moans at the sudden fiction against his hard cock and immediately his hands find purchase in Steve's hair. Danny pushes back against Steve with everything he has as Steve tries to swallow Danny whole.

"Bed." Danny pants pulling his mouth from Steve's moaning when Steve's lips attack Danny's neck. "Steven, bed." Danny moans again pushing Steve away from him and pushing him towards the stairs. Steve finally gets the hint and grabs Danny's hand pulling him behind him. Danny chuckles at Steve's impatience and speeds up so that he's right behind Steve his hands coming around his waist and rubbing Steve's stomach making him moan loudly and almost stop halfway up the stairs. Danny smirks and rubs lower inches away from where Steve wants him to touch and groans when Danny suddenly pulls away and inching past him and up the stairs. He stops at top and pulls his shirt out of his pants, half of the buttons already done. Steve watches transfixed as Danny pulls the shirt from his shoulders and lets it fall to the ground. He snaps back when Danny has his belt unbuckled and out of the loops joining his shirt on the floor.

Quickly rushing up the rest of the stairs Steve quickly shucks his jacket and pulls his shirt up and over his head not even bothering with the buttons before tackling Danny into the wall. Danny grunts as he hits the wall before Steve kisses him roughly. He loses himself in the kiss his tongue battling with Steve's for control before he submits and let Steve plunder his mouth. Steve smiles when he feels Danny give up control and pulls his leg up rubbing their clothed erections. Ripping his mouth away from Steve's Danny moans loudly clutching at his shoulders trying to stay upright. Steve's lips kiss their way down Danny's neck before settling on the junction between his collar bone and neck and biting. Danny gasps at the pain laced pleasure and bucks his hips up into Steve's as he thrusts down.

"Mhm Steve." Danny groans as Steve increases his thrusts pushing harder against Danny. "God Steve. I have to touch you babe. I need you naked." Danny manages to gasp out groaning as Steve pulls away allowing Danny to lead the short way into the bedroom. Steve waits until Danny's naked before tackling him to the bed and thrusting against him again. "Oh God!" Danny cries arching his back, therefore molding his body even more to Steve's.

"Danny." Steve whispers reaching down nibbling on Danny's jaw as Danny thrusts even faster up against him. The friction's delicious to Steve's overheated skin and after a few more thrusts both Steve and Danny come exploding against each other.

"Oh fuck." Danny whimpers as Steve rides out the last of his orgasm his chest rapidly rising and falling as he tries to catch his breath. Steve smiles lazily too tired to even lift his head up and rests his forehead against Danny's chest. They stay like that for a few moments both trying to catch their breath before Steve pushes his tired body up from the bed and disappears in the bathroom. Danny watches through half lidded eyes as he disappears and lets his head fall back.

Once Steve's cleaned both of them up he pulls down the covers of the bed and climbs in wrapping his arms around Danny whose head has found its way on Steve's chest. "So Danno." Steve starts his fingers toying with Danny's hair.

"Mhm?" He responds content to just lay there and let Steve's heartbeat lull him into a peaceful slumber.

"Does this mean you're moving in with me now?" Steve asks looking hopeful when Danny raises his head locking eyes with Steve. "I mean you did say that all I had to do was give you a proper date." Danny chuckles shaking his head before reaching up and kissing the smirk right off of Steven's face.

"Yes." Steve smiles as if he's just won the lottery and pumps his fists in the air. Danny can't help but laugh at just how happy Steve is about it, which causes Steve to kiss the laughter right out of him. Danny moans at the heat of the kiss and shifts so that he's completely covering Steve's body intensifying their passionate kiss. Steve lets him back control for about three seconds before he's flipping them over and showing Danny again and again just how thankful he is.

The next morning Danny wakes up alone feeling aches in places he's never felt before, yet he's hoping to feel this ache deep in his bones for many, many years to come. He's not even surprised that he woke up alone since he knew that Steve would be back to his insane wakeup time and exercise routine, he wouldn't expect anything less. What he doesn't expect is a note on Steve's pillow and a steaming cup of coffee on his nightstand.

Drink your coffee and get your sweet ass out of bed. We've got some moving to do.

-Steve

Danny chuckles to himself as he takes a sip of the still warm coffee. He's content to just sit there with his coffee and the ever present ache in his backside, but he's slightly afraid of what would happen if Steve came back and Danny wasn't ready to go. Plus the sooner they get started the sooner they can end up right back in this very bed making up for all the lost time they spent skirting around their feelings.

Hours later Danny puts the last of his stuff in the bedroom and falls down on the bed. It took them all day to move what little Danny had in his apartment and Danny's exhausted. Steve enters the room and takes a seat next to Danny wrapping his arm around his shoulder hugging him tight to his body. "Best thank you ever." Danny murmurs kissing underneath Steve's jaw. Steve smiles falling back on the bed pulling Danny down on top of him, he has so much more thanks to show his partner to make it the best thank you ever.

A/N 2: Well that's all folks, at least for this story. I hope that you liked this chapter. Thank you so much for your reviews and alerts; they really do make me insanely happy. I hope I didn't completely screw up the sex scene, it's the first time I've actively wrote one and I'm a little nervous about how it's going to play out. Plus with these two characters it was hard not to be completely graphic, since they are both amazingly dominant characters. Let me know how I did! Until next time, ~thatredheadgirl~
