Chapter One
Danny sits in his office staring at Steve as he is laughing on his cell. It was probably Catherine Rollins, his little ramboette girlfriend. He could feel the resentment eat up at him. Danny hated feeling like this, it wasn't him. Catherine had helped them out a lot, and she made Steve happy. That was all that mattered, wasn't it?
He sighs and looks down at his paperwork, when a knock on his door makes him look up. Standing there is Chin looking at him sadly.
"What's up?" Danny grins brightly at him.
Chin just shakes his head, shuts the door and sits down in front of him.
"How are you doing?" Chin asks his voice always kind.
"I'm fine, why?"
"Steve?"
Just by the way his team-mate says that name tells Danny that he knows about his embarrassing little crush.
"What about him? If you're asking does he drive me crazy? Does he believe that violence is the answer and does he love explosions, then the answer is yes to all of them?" Danny stands up and walks to the filing cabinet and manages to keep his back to Chin. He hates being backed into a corner. It always makes him come out fighting and sometimes not in a fair way. At the end of their marriage, it was what Rachel would do, and that is how they ended up in court about Grace.
"It's written all over your face how you feel about him."
Danny turns and stares at Chin, shock and horror on his face. He sees movement in the corner of his eye and watches as Steve looks over at them. The smile leaving the navy Seals face as he can see the panic on Danny's face.
A quick grin and wave of his hand stops Steve from coming over, but doesn't stop him from staring in their direction.
"I don't know what you mean." Danny grabs a pen and starts to write.
"Danny…"
"No Chin, you have no idea what you are talking about. Even if, you did, do you think this is the best place for this discussion?"
"We'll talk about it later." Chin stands up to leave.
"No, no, no there will be not talking of this later or, in fact, anytime." Danny and Chin stare at each other until Kono walks past tapping on the window with their lunches in a bag.
Chin shakes his head, opens the door and walks out. Danny knows that he is not going to leave this alone.
"Everything ok Danny?" Steve leaves his office and walks straight over to him, putting his hand on Danny's shoulder.
Danny forces himself not to moan at that single touch and looks up at his best friend. His devilishly attractive and unattainable best friend.
"Great I'm back in high school, shoot me now." He mutters to himself.
"Danny, what?"
"Nothing Steve, nothing at all."
"Are you sure because…" Steve stops as Danny holds up his hand.
"Please stop talking,"
"But…"
"Why are you still talking?" Danny's voice gets louder.
Steve shuts his mouth and waves a hand at Danny, who storms past him grabs his lunch and goes back to his office.
Chin looks at him sadly, and Steve looks confused and determined to find out what is going on. Kono knew that her cousin was going to talk to the little blonde tornado, but it obviously hadn't gone very well.
"Chin, what's going on?" Steve stares at him
"About what?"
Steve growls. "About Danny, what is going on with Danny? What's his problem?"
"Well, you should actually ask Danny that."
Steve throws his hands up in annoyance. He heads to Danny's office and stands at the door watching.
"Hey, monkey. No, you're Danno just missed you. How is school?" Danny's voice was warm and tender.
Steve continued to watch for a little longer and smiled as the other man continued to talk. He loved to hear that sound in Danny's voice. Whatever the problem was, he would find out later. There was no way he was going to interrupt that phone call.
As Steve walked away, Danny looked up. He could feel his heart breaking again. It did this a lot with Steve he didn't know how long he could keep this up. Danny loved Five-0, but it was getting more and more difficult to hide his feelings. Chin already knew, which he guessed meant so did Kono. How long before Steve realised and then what? Danny didn't want to lose his best friend, but he couldn't help the way he felt.

The day seems to be extraordinarily long for Danny and every time he looks up, there Steve is looking at him. Somehow Danny has to get past him and escape to his shithole of an apartment and pray that a certain mental seal doesn't come looking for him.
His cell makes him jump as it starts to vibrate across the table. Danny reaches over and picks it.
"Yes." He says as soon as he answers it. "Of course I will, straight away." Danny frowns as he is cut off.
He grabs his coat and pokes his head into Steve's office.
"What is it Danny?" Steve asks politely.
Danny hates that tone; it means that Steve is getting majorly slowly pissed off with him.
"The governor wants to see me." He watches as Steve stands up. "No, Steve just me, it has nothing to do with Five-0."
Steve frowns and doesn't like the sound of this. Danny is keeping things from him and he hates it.
Danny clenches his hands into fists by his sides. Every time Steve makes that face, he wants to go over and kiss those lines away. Which is something he can't do, he truly can't do.
"Keep me updated."
"Will do."
"Danny, if you need me for anything just call ok." Steve gives him a small smile.
"Yeah Steve I will." Danny pushes away the dirty thoughts that run through his mind. The scenarios in where he does call Steve for what he wants. Sex. With that he heads out still feeling the weight of a pair of captivating eyes on his back.
XXXXX
Steve was on his feet as soon as Danny walks back into the office. Chin and Kono stand and watching, hoping that they find out what was going on. Steve was driving them up the wall.
"Danny what's going on?"
Danny sighs. "I have to go back to New Jersey."
