Hey, guys. So, I was sitting in a class tonight and this just came to me. A cute little oneshot that I had to write. No whump or anything and there's not much Chin and Kono either, but there's a lot of Steve and Danny. No idea if it's good or not, just decided to go with it.

Disclaimer: do not own Hawaii Five O.

Enjoy!

Steve crept throughout the darkened room, clutching his weapon in his hands. His base was just around the corner, and, if he could make it there, he could defend it and gather his forces.

A small figure lept down from a platform above Steve and he dove to the side, barely avoiding the tackle. He and the figure popped up at the same time and Steve smiled in the midst of the war zone. He'd recognize the shorter man anywhere. "Danno."

"Hey, babe," Danny whispered. He was ecstatic to have a friend in this mad house. "Just clarifying. Was this your idea?"

Steve's smile grew, if that was even possible. "Why?"

Danny stood and straightened his vest. "Knew it," he mumbled. Grabbing his own weapon, he gestured with his head. "Let's go."

They silently moved for a few moments, clearing the area like they would a house. Danny was at Steve's back when he saw the flash of color. He knew that there was no time to aim and fire, so he simply dove, covering Steve. The report of a weapon sounded and Steve and drug Danny to cover. Looking around the corner and checking his weapon at the same time, Steve asked, "Danny? You ok?" No response. "Danny?"

As his eyes found his partner, his vision became tainted with red. A cry of rage and loss was torn from his throat as he fought for control, the knowledge of Danny's sacrifice pushing him towards the edge. Touching his partners neck, he said, "I'll get them, Danny. Don't worry. They'll pay."

Charging off, he used all of his SEAL training and took down one of his foes in a matter of seconds. He caught the second on the floor above him, flinging himself over the rail and catching them unaware. Going back to his fallen partner, he sat down in front of him and took a deep breath as the lights flicked back on and the lights on all the vests reset.

"You know, Danno, in another life, you could've been an actor."

Danny's eyes opened as his vest reset from red to green and the laser tag course was illuminated. His body stiffened and the contrast was night and day between the previous limp rag he was. "Really?"

"Really, buddy. For a moment there, I forgot the guns were fake." Steve waved his plastic laser gun in the air to emphasize his point.

"That must be why I'm so good at undercover work," Danny conceded, extending his hand for Steve to hoist him up. "We'd better catch up with Chin and Kono. Make sure you didn't kill them."

Steve nodded and grabbed Danny's hand,pulling him up and into a firemans carry, like there was nothing to it and it was completely normal, and headed towards the door.

Danny didn't struggle, limply hanging as he asked, "Umm, Steve? You do know that I wasn't actually short, right, babe? Steve?"

how was it? Good? Bad? Kinda funny? Let me know with a review. I'll try and get to my other stories soon, but I have to write three pages of material tomorrow for school, so I may or may not get to it.

Thanks for reading! Have a great week!
