ANONYMOUS NIGHTMARE: Steve did propose to Catherine, she said yes, and they are happily on their way to being married, having kids, the whole works.

It’s not the kind of nightmare he wakes up from with a start, or a cold sweat, or tears, or a yell. Those, he’s used to, accepts them as a regular, if unsettling, side effect of his job and life.

This is different.

This is worse.

This is the kind that’s settled so deep in his bones and gut when he wakes up, that he’s sure, for a few seconds after, that it’s true. That when the sun comes up, he’ll have to go into work and grin and congratulate Steve and tease Cath and in a few months he’ll have to stand up there as best man and smile like he’s not cracking apart, piece by piece.

It’s the kind that feels so real, he’s off-kilter when he wakes up, wondering how that could all be true, but certain it is.

Making him turn to the warm weight next to him. Slide a hand, followed by the rest of his arm, across Steve’s stomach, and tug himself closer. Mouth and nose against the side of Steve’s neck, until he can breathe again.

He doesn’t even care if it wakes him up. He just needs the reminder.

[ text ] see i can type i am in control [* -- Maybe sent to the wrong Williams in the middle of this drunk proof? ]

Matt looks at the text on his phone and almost ignores it, figuring it’s none of his business after all. Then he remembers that Danny is out of town, and that he’d kill him if he heard he left Steve alone while he was hopefully drunk off his ass and not getting kidnapped by norwegian ninjas or something worse.

[text: Danny’s seal] kudos. that’s great! 

[text: Danny’s seal] where are you exactly? and why the trouble typing?

06: How do you want to die? 19: Would you go back in time if you were given the chance? 33: Do you have trust issues? 68: Who’s the last person you had a deep conversation with?

06: How do you want to die? Definitely not by starvation, Nahele knows that. He’s been familiar with the way the hunger gnaws at you until it’s all you can think about, until you would literally do anything to get food. Like say, steal a car and strip it for parts. And even then Nahele was acutely aware that, even though it felt like it, he wasn’t even close to actual starvation. So Nahele may not be sure how he wants to die, but he definitely knows how he DOESNT want to.

19: Would you go back in time if you were given the chance?

No. It wouldn’t erase all the hurt, all the pain he’d had to deal with. Those were the cards that he had been dealt in life. Nothing could change that. But now, now Nahele has an ohana. Or he’s starting too at least. He’s got Steve and that means he’s got the whole 5-0 Ohana by proxy. Things are better now; brighter. The past hasn’t been erased, but the future is finally starting to look pretty damn good.

33: Do you have trust issues?

“No of course not.” That rolls off Nahele’s tongue too fast, too harsh and they both know it’s not true. Nahele sighs; looks away. “Yeah, I don’t know, maybe. I just….I didn’t have such a good childhood, you know. My dad….well he wasn’t who he was supposed to be.”

(Oh god does Nahele ever have trust issues. He has them a mile long and doesn’t let anyone in. Ever. Even Steve is still relatively on the outside.)

68: Who’s the last person you had a deep conversation with?

Nahele has to think long and hard about that one. He tells Steve things, sure, but it mostly surface level. School, football, how things are going at the group home he’s living at. He knows Steve would be there for the deeper stuff, but hasn’t ever actually talked about any of it with him. How much he misses his mom. How scared he is of what’s going to happen when he turns 18 and ages out of the system. How worried he is he’s going to turn into his dad. It’s all there, buried deep inside him. He won’t tell anyone though, doesn’t want anyone to think of him as weak. …..“Pass.”

“The only girl who’d love him is his mother.”

“I’m not sure what that means… Is he supposed to get boys to love him now?” She asks the man in front of her, with a quirk of her eyebrow.

“‘Cause I don’t think he has too much trouble with that one.”

Let me do you, then! @thebesteverseen

Well, we played together a while ago, on another blog of mine. I always appreciate your writing and it’s always nice to see you around my dash. You Steve is very, very much in character and I always hear his voice in your writing, which makes you that much more enjoyable. :D I really admire you and you just seem like a very nice person in general :D

[ From here ]

It’s hard to say if he wakes up just before his phone goes off, or just after – all he knows is, all of a sudden, he’s blinking awake with eyes that feel like sandpaper, eyelids trying to stick together with sleep.

But there’s no question about letting it ring through, or silencing it: too many years of too many late- and middle-of-the-night emergencies send his hand fumbling in the dark towards that lit rectangle.

Grinding the heel of his hand into one eye, and catching a bleary look at the caller ID, before thumbing ACCEPT. “Steve?”

Voice drowsy, feeling three registers lower than usual. “It’s four in the morning.”

Which Steve knows. Probably. But Danny will never pass up a chance to remind him when he’s forgotten basic civilities, like please and thank you and not murdering their suspects or calling him at four in the fucking morning. “Is everything okay?”
