PSL: Sentinel AU

[dann_0]

Danny is Steve's guide. He is still pretty new at it and working with a Sentinel who has some bad experiences. To top if off, while working a case in Portland he finds out that a guide can have more than one Sentinel who is their perfect match.

Danny blinks and smiles at the kiss and then once again at Steve's question. "I don't know. I mean if it is just sleeping..." He looks towards the door to see if Eliot was coming back. "I think I'll have to ask him for what he'd feel more comfortable with." Normally he'd want to wait with having people over before Grace got to know them better but things were too damn perfect with Eliot that he didn't want to spend another night apart.

"And I'd hate to chase you out of the bed. You deserve a good night's sleep as much as we do."

"You're not chasing me out. I'm offering." And really the more he thinks about it, the more he thinks he might do that regardless.

"We hadn't talked about how long he's here for. I was hoping he'd stay to tell you on Sunday night after you took Grace home at least..." He offers Danny a smile. "He's welcome as long as you can convince him to."

"I hope so too. A day or two to hang out all three of us would be good. I bet he would love to go fishing with you." Danny, on the other hand, is not so sure he will ever set foot on a boat again. "I will ask him what he wants to do."

Steve frowns slightly, but doesn't comment. The idea was more for Eliot and Danny to spend time together not for Eliot and Steve. Instead he nods. "Whatever you guys decide, I'm good with." Then after a pause he adds, "When you guys want some alone time, I'll make myself scarce. If you decide to plan something just give me a head's up." He expects they are going to want some intimate time and as much as Steve supports their relationship, he really doesn't want to be within his hearing range for that. That's best supported by him being elsewhere.

Danny glances over at him. "We'll keep it out of the house. I know how good your sense of smell is. Wouldn't want you to have to smell it all. We can grab a hotel for a night or something." He smiles softly.

"I'll still smell it on you when you return anyway." Steve shakes his head. "It's fine, Danny. It's your house too and really, if this is going to be a thing I'm going to have to get used to it when he's here. I just... I'm not ready to be there when it's going on. Give me some time, I'm positive that will change."

Danny smiles a little as he glances over at Steve. "Not if you're not comfortable with it. Heck, it would be kind of weird knowing you can hear everything." He shakes his head. "Besides, he might be more comfortable in a hotel too."

Them renting a hotel translates to Steve that they will mostly, if not completely, be gone instead of mostly around. He's disappointed. He had thought... Well, it didn't matter what he had thought. Reminding himself this is what he wants, he forces a smile and nods at Danny. "Whatever works best."

Giving Danny's arm a squeeze he lets go. "Why don't you go see what's taking him? See if he needs any help or has forgotten anything that we might need." Closing his eyes, he leans his head back on the headrest. That he doesn't need to force, he really is tired.

Eliot makes the trip a compromise between his need to get back to Danny as soon as possible, and what he's sure is Steve's desire for some time alone with him. It's hard, but he's absolutely sure that nothing good will come of getting between the two of them. So he doesn't dawdle over his choices, but he doesn't race through either, and when he comes back about ten minutes later it's with a couple fairly full bags plus two six packs of beer that will go well with the pizzas and salad he's planning to make. There's also a jug of fuice and the makings for a fruit tart that can go on the grill after the pizzas, but that's up to Danny and his preferences for Grace's diet.

He grins at the pair of them as he approaches, still consciously avoiding eavesdropping while still letting himself track the sound of Danny's voice and heartbeat. Once Danny pops the trunk he settles everything in place, the brushes another kiss to his cheek as he clambers past him to get into the back. "All set, let's go see this private beach of yours." He smiles easily, even if he's still not quite sure how this is all going to work, and sets a hand back on Danny's shoulder for the drive.
