Tfw you are Steve Mcgarrett and you've spent in the closet so long you still get nervous about your husband intimately touching you in public while in uniform.

the face of someone who came so close to losing everything. initially i thought 'how nice that we got a happy celebration hug instead of the previous danny-just-nearly-died hugs', but then I realised that, for steve? it was both a celebration AND a near-death experience, because if danny had lost the custody battle he would have likely followed grace to vegas and steve would have lost them both. there's a reason he always reacts like someone stabbed him in the heart when danny expresses how he doesn't like hawaii, because at this point without grace and danny, it's not home for steve.

naturally, steve doesn't want to cast any shadows on the celebration with his personal angst (this victory isn't about him), which is why he only lets his façade crack when danny can't see. if he holds onto his partner's neck for dear life that's a little indulgence he can't resist.
