PL: Danny and Steve | Backdated

Backdated to after Danny is released from quarantine but before Grace arrives.


Danny being brought here was both a blessing and a curse in Steve's mind.

The blessing was purely selfish in that Steve felt better having his partner here with him. It wasn't that he wished Danny to be here, rather he wished they were both back in Hawaii, but he wasn't completely upset that Danny was here now with him either. Yeah, he was a selfish bastard and he hated himself for it, but he couldn’t deny the relief he felt to no longer being here alone. The gnawing ache of missing his home and ohana had been a bit of a surprise, but then he’d realized he’d never had a family to go home to before.

And there’s where lied the curse. Danny not only had Five-O, he also had Grace and in some extent Rachel. After Danny had travelled half way across the world to be with his daughter, he couldn’t imagine what the other man must be feeling now being so completely separated from her.

After Danny had been released from quarantine, Steve took him for a walk around the ship. Showing his partner where everything was and how to use the futuristic technology. It served more than the obvious purpose, it was a way for Steve to try to assess how Danny was doing.

It was a lot to take in - one moment being in Hawaii carrying on with every day life and the next moment having been kidnapped by an powerful yet immature alien and dumped in the future, on a space ship, possibly in a different dimension, all instantaneously, with no way of returning home for the sole purpose of that said alien to annoy a certain captain of a starship – neither of which Steve had met yet.

Yeah. It was a bit much. Steve was still trying to fully wrap his mind around it all.

The side-glances in Danny’s direction though weren’t telling him enough. When they reached the Arboretum and found an area they pretty much had to themselves, Steve decided just to come right out and ask.

“So uh, Danno, how are you adjusting to all this?”
