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 and Steve: Phone call

[super_seal]

Steve wouldn't send Danny without back-up, especially after what happened here, but he was thinking more of sending Chin or Kono. If Danny and Eliot are only getting a few days together a month, he thinks they'd likely prefer the alone time without Steve there as a distraction. After all, he has Danny most of the time. And honestly he's not sure about watching another sentinel be as close to Danny as he is.

"I'm sure we can figure something out to work there. Have it lead into a weekend, or out of one." Whoever goes with can leave early or arrive late. If he knew more about Eliot's background he'd be tempted to hire him on as a special consultant and then he could just work with Danny, but hiring a chef as a consultant would be a hard sell to the governor, even if the military career fifteen years ago was associated to Eliot's name.

"Good ideas. Not much we can do about it, we kind of need to wait until a case comes up and until then it is weekends and when it is slow." Danny shifts so he is sitting closer to Eliot and leans slightly on him.

He is less worried than his two Sentinels but he is also the one who knows both of them. "So the case... I told them to email you the file, there are some ties back to Hawaii, but nothing that needs immediate attention. Especially with the head of the operation here taken out."

Eliot had been trying to keep his distance, to not intrude too much on the conversation even if he can't bring himself to actually leave, but when Danny leans into him he gives it up and just settles solidly in next to him, turning a little to press his nose into his hair and curl one arm around his shoulders. He doesn't have anything else to contribute to the conversation, though, so he keeps quiet.

"Alright. I'll keep my eyes open for it and we'll take care of the stuff on this end. Is there anything I should know? Stuff that won't be in the file?" When Danny returns home he's hoping the other man will share all the details of what happened and Eliot's involvement but there's no need to go into all that over the phone. Steve will want and need to touch Danny to confirm that the other man is alright and since he can't the next three days will be hell.

Sometimes having sentinel hearing is a curse. He can hear Eliot's heartbeat and the sound of his breathing get louder, like Danny is closer to the other man. He can hear the brushing of fabric, the inhale of a breath and the brush of skin on skin. It doesn't take much for the picture to come to develop in his mind's eye. Danny is highly tactile and it only makes sense that he'll be just as tactile with Eliot. Eliot likely needs the touch just as much. He doesn't begrudge them of it, but it's not something he's quite ready to face head on. Knowing it is happening is one thing, hearing makes it all too real. His support is unwavering, but he needs more time to fully wrap his mind and heart around this change and addition to his life.

Clearing his throat, he forces a smile into his voice. "Alright, I should let you guys go. I'm sure you have a lot you want to discuss and work through, and I've got a couple things here I need to wrap up before I head out for the night."

"Nothing as far as I know. We can go over it on Friday. Unless Chin's upgrades mean the table won't listen to me again." He had grumbled a bit about that last time, though the rest of the team had just laughed and smiled.

"Alright. Take care babe, alright? I don't want to come there on Thursday and hear that you've gotten shot again or something." But he smiles fondly. "I'll be there soon. Miss you."

Steve laughs at that. "I don't know what you're talking about, I always take care. You guys too alright, take care of each other. Miss you too, Buddy. Talk to you later." And with that Steve hangs up the phone.
