Chapter 19

Steve hadn't felt this way in a very long time. Nausea was roiling in his stomach relentlessly. All the emotions from just barely the prior hours of the hellish day were taking a toll. He had long stopped trying to reason with himself that what he did was forgivable. He had come to terms with the fact that maybe Danny would never forgive him but maybe he would. The sentimental side that Danny only reserved for human beings would. That would all be very good.

He could faintly hear Danny's laughs from inside the room. It rung warmly in his head despite the pounding that was beginning because of all the thinking he had done. He rubbed his hands together feeling the vessels that had almost taken away Danny from this life. He rubbed his head, also an empty vessel that had almost done the same. This had all dug a big hole and affected him more than he had expected it would. The man lying on the bed in the next room meant a lot to him. He needed to speak to him.

He heard footsteps and Rachel soon came into his line of sight. He looked up. Her eyes were glossy from unshed tears but she didn't look sad.

"He wants to talk to you, Steve." He shook his head at the statement. She smiled sympathetically, no longer cold as before she had walked into the room.

"I'm going to pick up Grace." She said as though it was a second thought and she walked away and around the corner of the end of the hall and left.

"Go talk to him brah." Kono added in.

Steve nodded his head and licked his lips and stepped inside. Danny was serious. There was no sarcastic robustness that he always carried with him.

"Hey Danny." Steve said trying to swat away the awkward air in the room.

Danny blinked.

Steve stepped a little closer; getting a better visual of Danny's bruised face. He rung his hands timidly.

"Partner- Danny. I don't know how to say this. Just- I'm sorry. I'm so fucking sorry. I fucked up. And it almost cost you your life. I almost killed you for God-sake's and just. I understand if you feel like we can't be friends-or partners. Dammit. I'm sorry." Steve said. NO he was not about to cry.

What Steve didn't know was that Danny had been thinking a lot before this moment too. And the truth was, that the fact that Steve had been drugged and led to almost kill him wasn't the part that bothered him. What bothered him was the fact that he himself would think that Steve would try to do that on his own terms. He was disappointed in himself for being disappointed in Steve.

This was Steve. And if their partnership had taught him anything was that Steve would never betray him. And now Steve stood here in front of him with the guilt eating away like same old Steve and Danny felt terrible. He needed to say sorry but Steve kept talking like the maniac he was and this tube thing was still stuck down his throat. And maybe someone heard because just then a nurse walked in.

"Alright Detective looks like we can take that tube out. I'm just gonna need you to cough when I tell you." She took off the tape that attached the tube to his cheek and put a firm grasp on the thing.

"Cough." So he coughed and she pulled it out. He gagged and the sensation. And after a few moments of questions and tests she was gone.

He laid back on his pillow and closed his eyes.

"Danny? I know you don't want to talk to me but just give me something to leave with. Please Danny."

Steve was really beating himself up about this. He took a deep breath and whispered:

"It's okay, you Neanderthal animal."

Steve looked up at him astonished by that words that just had come out of his mouth. It had been more than 24 hours since he last talked to him and through those hours they had been through hell. So he wasn't really expecting anything like that to happen.

"Uhm, what?" Steve said dazedly.

"I said. It's okay you Neanderthal animal. Now please stop saying sorry you're making my head hurt." There was a long silence.

"Listen Steve, I'm sorry too. I don't want you to feel bad even though I know your stubborn ass won't let you not feel bad. But there is nothing that I need to forgive you for. I don't blame you. I don't blame you. I'm sorry."

Their eyes met and their hearts were beating.

They were on the same grounds.

Danny coughed. He was way over using his sore throat but it didn't really matter to him.

Steve smiled and he pulled Danny into an embrace and he knew that they were brothers again.

No, they had always been.

3 WEEKS LATER

Danny was sweating. Damn these islands, always so freakishly hot all year long. Danny grumbled to himself. It wasn't helping his headache either. It had been a week since he was released from the hospital and he was told he would have reoccurring headaches. He hated them, he hated them so much. Coming up from his daily walk on the beach he was ready to sit down. The beach house was welcoming, after all he had been staying there for that past week being kept under the watchful eye of the owner, Commander Steven J. Mcgarret.

Just as he walked in and slipped off his shoes and dizzy spell washed over him.

Danny wobbled and lost his footing and before he knew it he was flying toward the floor but a strong hand caught him by the chest. Bringing him back up on his two feet.

"Whoa Danno are you feeling okay?" Steve said, concern practically written in his eyes.

"Yeah, I'm good just a little dizzy. Where did you come from anyway? Freakin Bruce Lee."

"Bruce Lee?"

"Yeah Bruce Lee, ninja or whatever!" Danny retorted.

Steve smiled but once again took on a semi-serious stance.

"You sure you're feeling okay?" Danny nodded his head, and seemingly dusted himself off as if nothing had happened.

"See, I'm okay." Danny proved standing up straighter than usual.

"Yeah, you are." Steve said.
