H50 drabble

Drabble written for the 1_million_words word of the day prompt: Capitulate.

The last straw

Kono lays a sympathetic hand on his arm.

"It's going to have to be you, brah," she says. "You know that his pride won't let him back down. You're going to have to be the one to capitulate, or..."

She lets it go unspoken, but Danny understands. If he doesn't make peace with his stubborn, pig-headed partner then their relationship is doomed, wrecked on the rocks of Steve's emotional illiteracy.

It's always the same, though. However sorry Steve is afterwards, it's always Danny who has to make the first move.

Danny wonders if it's really worth the effort any more.

Danny needs to be patient with Steve. Very, very patient. Lovely drabble.

In his less world-weary moments Danny knows that, it's just that sometimes he gets so very tired of always having to be the reasonable one :(
