Danny is a man of experience, he's done this before, he knows how it goes. Or how it should go, anyway. Plus, he's followed this guy into firefights and off cliffs (well at least one cliff), worries constantly about his lack of concern for his own personal safety, and endures his bitching about what Danny eats and wears with a fortitude that proves that what he's feeling for the big idiot must be love.
And the sex is amazing. There is that, too.
Add to that the fact that Danny is not a coward, not yellow, not lily-livered, and no Williams ever shirked doing something that really, truly mattered, and this should not be so fucking hard to do.
Except, of course, that the object of his affections is Steve. And the words 'romantic gesture' and 'Steve McGarrett' clearly do not belong together, Danny thinks, as he surveys the wreckage of the fancy restaurant he'd booked for the occasion. Although maybe it's not really Steve's fault that the gunmen decided to relieve the clientele of their valuables just as Danny was about to go down on one knee.
Asking Rachel to marry him was one hell of a lot easier.
