*Summary: Things have been not so good for Steve & Danny's relationship, They
are in a rut, Everything seemed too comfortable, Will they get out of it?, Stay

*Author's Note: This is part of my series!!!!*
 
Things seemed a little tense around Five-O, The Cases always gets bigger, & so
does it's load, that comes with. Commander Steve McGarrett feels guilty for not
putting any quality time, & effort into his relationship with his partner, &
lover, Detective Danny "Danno" Williams, It's not like things are bad between
them, It's just they don't get to see the other much, "Well, That's gonna
change, Right now", The Former Seal vowed to himself, as he looked over at his
blond lover, who looks like he was miserable, as he poured over his paperwork.
 
Lieutenant Chin-Ho Kelly made sure to have Danny's favorite pastries on hand, &
also his coffee, He saw that his friend was miserable lately, & it gotten
worse, when his brother, Matt had been killed. He went to see his cousin,
Officer Kono Kalakaua, & friend, Captain Lou Grover, "I think we should do
something to help them along", "We could offer suggestions, if Steve wants
them", The Former Pro Surfer offered, Lou said agreeing, "I agree, Let's wait
til the seal comes to us", & they went to do their own paperwork.
 
Danny was almost done with the last report, that he has on his desk, He
couldn't believe that it is almost a year, since he found out that he had a
son, & he is loving fatherhood again, But at what cost ?, He also feels the
rut, that is between him, & his super seal, "I am gonna do my best to reassure
him, that I am in this for the long haul, & I am not leaving", he thought to
himself vowing, He finished the report, & decided to an errand, that would help
prove himself to his lover. He found Steve's grandfather's old pocket watch, &
decided to surprise him by having restored, He found a shop, that deals with
this kind of stuff, & he wants to surprise Steve on their 6 year anniversary.
 
Steve was done with his reports, & was staring out of his office window from
his chair, He was trying to figure out the best place to take Danny for their
anniversary, It's just amazing on how well they knew each other, & really
connected. He sighed, as he silently smashed the last idea to bits in his head,
He looked at the door, & saw his friends at the door. "Hey, Guys, Howzit ?", he
asked, as he gave them his trademark grin. "I think we have a suggestion, if
you want to hear it ?", The Former SWAT Commander offered, as he took a chair,
Kono took the other, & Chin was leaning against a wall.
 
"Please, What is it ?, I will listen to anything you guys have to say", Steve
said pleading, The Others saw that he looked desperate, so they took pity on
him, & Chin said, "Well, Don't go overboard with the romance, Just be yourself,
& plan it in an location, that makes you comfortable", Lou said, "Always have
your comfort foods on hand, if your original food goes to hell", Kono added
lastly, "Always make the effort, The Tux, Wear that, It should make quite an
impression on our favorite blond", Steve took the words to heart, "Thanks,
Guys, That is a big help", & he suddenly remembered, He didn't have a dessert
planned, "Shit, Dessert, What am I gonna do about dessert ?", Lou said taking
the reins, "Why don't you give us the keys to your place ?, We can take care of
everything, Renee would love to help too", Steve said, as he tossed the keys to
him, "Can you guys have it done in an hour ?", They nodded, & they all went
back to finishing up the day's work.
 
They took a break for lunch, & Steve said, "Danno, Can you get our lunch ?,
Also, Will you please come over tonight ?, There are some things we need to
discuss", Danny was intrigued by it, & nodded, saying, "Sure". He immediately
left the office, so he wouldn't be stuck in traffic, & went to their favorite
lunch spot, so he could pick up their order. As soon as he was out of hearing
range, "Okay, Guys, This is what I want to do", The Seal said, & they hurried
to go over the plan, before the blond detective comes back with their food.
Steve was certain, that if this goes off right, He & Danny will be getting out
of their rut, & their relationship will be saved.
 
Danny came back in no time at all, & he was suspicious about his love ones are
acting, "What are you guys up to ?", "Nothing", They answered in unison, Not
gonna let go for a second, Danny decided to investigate when they are not
around, He passed everyone their lunches, & they all were talking about their
weekend plans, Danny was excited to get some time with Charlie, & his mood has
been even brighter, since Rachel told him, They are working everything out for
the kids' sake, & it has been going good so far. Danny realized that he has to
go to the lab, so they all finished up their lunches, & got back to the case at
hand.
 
Thanks to the lab's rush job, & Danny's quick thinking, they were able to solve
the case right away, & it made the Five-O happy for once, Also the Governor
gave them some time off, as a bonus. Danny was smiling the brightest smile,
that he could muster, & Steve thought to himself, "That is a great look on
him", Everyone gathered up their things, & said their "goodbyes", Danny was
looking forward to some time with his kids, while Steve had something to take
care of, The Others are heading over to the McGarrett Household.
 
The Others got to the house, & they made sure that everything was perfect,
Renee came over & took care of the cooking, "It's a simple dish, I rely on,
when I need it, Especially on the tough days", she told everyone, as she
preparing it, & everyone was doing their thing, When they were finished,
Everything looked so beautiful, "Great job, Everyone, Steve will be so happy",
"Yeah, Let's make sure that things go perfectly for him", Chin said, Lou said
agreeing, "They are great guys", Kono said, "They deserve this", Once they
double checked everything, They left to do their thing.
 
Steve came home with Danny's present, & hid away, so he could get to it, when
it's present time, He smiled, as he found dinner in the warmer, & a Chocolate
Chip Peanut Butter Cake in the fridge, all set up to be served. He added his
own personal touches, like rose petals leading towards the bedroom, & bathroom,
It was gonna be one hot night, He definitely did want Danny to forget it, He
smiled, & said thinking to himself, "Danno, Look out, You haven't seen anything
yet", & he went to shower up, & set the mood for it. Then, He dressed in his
tux, like Kono suggested, & waited in the living room, posing seductively,
hoping that Danny would notice, as soon as he comes in.
 
Danny smiled, as he dropped his kids off to Rachel's, Even though it was
suppose to be his night, They understood, & so did his ex. "I think it's
wonderful, You found the one you are suppose to be & cherish that person
forever", The Blond smiled, & said, "Thanks, Rachel, I think I found the one
too". They kissed each other on the cheek, & he kissed his kids "goodbye", &
embraced them with big hugs. He pulled into the McGarrett Driveway, & noticed
that house was lightly dimmed inside, Peaking his interest now, He put the key,
& unlocked the door, & his mouth dropped at the sight in front of him.
