PSL: Sentinel AU

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.

"For the most part, it seems it will be visiting him as often as I can. Or meet somewhere in the middle. Hawaii isn't really a good option." Besides the military presence, it is also Steve's turf. And right now Danny is not going to push anything there. Not until he is home and has made damn sure Steve knows he isn't letting him go.

"I sent you a copy of the whole case file, you should already have it. Have Chin go over it and we can talk about it on Friday. Because I am coming back to you." He smiles softly. "You have my car keys after all." More than that, he loves Steve, Steve is his partner, best friend, and Sentinel.

"No, I guess it wouldn't be." They've already talked about the military presence being an issue but he suspects it's also his presence. The urge is there to tease Danny that there is nothing but ocean in the middle but he's not in the mood for it and he knows what he means.

"We do and he has." Steve's voice has gone mostly flat and introspective. It feels like a loss, even if it's not immediate. Danny is just delaying the inevitable. He's not losing Danny completely though, he just needs to keep reminding himself of that. "You still coming home on Thursday or waiting till Friday morning?" It would make sense to Steve for him to have changed his mind to stay for the extra time.

"I'll be home on Thursday. That is still the same. You going to pick me up?" He hopes so. He'd like the car ride to talk to Steve, get close to him and get his thoughts on things before they are in the house and Steve can find ways to avoid him. Not that he thinks the guy will but he is worried.

"We can grab a late dinner or something."

"Of course I'll be there." He says it like there's no question about it but the thought had crossed his mind to send Chin or Kono. With them living and working together, there's no way he can truly avoid Danny, and it's not that he really wants to either. It's just that he needs a bit of time to adjust, wrap his head around this new information and be in the right mindset to support Danny.

"We can grab take-out on the way home... Unless you want me to pick up something to make?"

Danny smiles and you can hear it in his voice when he speaks. He is happy Steve isn't going to try to avoid him. "Take out sounds good. Worst case we can ask Kamekona to bring something by but I was hoping to just spend the evening with the two of us. Isn't there that place you've been wanting to try?"

"Yeah that Indian place that's out by the airport." Usually it's too far out of their way but since they'll be right there. "You ever have Indian food, Buddy?" Steve doesn't need to avoid Danny to avoid the subject and he will attempt to avoid that as much as possible. The evening together sounds good but Steve is already preparing himself for the changes he knows are coming.

Danny laughs at that. "Yeah, there are a couple of decent places in Jersey. I should take you some time. Alright. I should let you get back to work. I just wanted to let you know everything so it wouldn't be a surprise on Thursday. Alright. I love you, buddy."

"Thanks, I appreciate that." Very much so. It at least gives Steve a chance to prepare for the change in scent and time to adapt on his own to the new information. "Say hi to Eliot. Enjoy the rest of your time there." There's a pause as the lump in his throat forms. Clearing his throat he forces a smile. "Love you too, Buddy, travel safe." With that he hangs up his phone but he doesn't move off the couch for a very long time.
