Williams Family Home - Newark, NJ, Friday Night
The funeral for Matty had, of course, been closed casket. And it had been full of cops (all former coworker's of Danny's) and firefighters (all former coworker's of his father) so it was easy to not have to address anything emotionally at the time.
Though Grace being there with him had caused more than a few cracks to come through as he just tried to get through this period.
Which was possibly why he was laying in one of bedrooms in the home that he and his siblings had grown up in, staring at the ceiling, trying to will himself to sleep. Even though he knew he'd have nightmares there.

Danny was always going on about those kinds of emotions were better out than in, so Steve was going to trust him on that and just hope what he was doing was helping. The McGarrett family tradition of ignoring it until it stopped hurting had certainly done Steve no favors.

So this? This right here? This was what he'd needed to not lose his goddamn mind.

Steve held on just as tightly with one arm, and moved the other up to toy with the soft hair at the nape of Danny's head.
"This isn't your fault," he said firmly.

Not after what had happened in Colombia.
"I should have done more."

Was that way he was so invested in getting his sisters and Mary to be friends maybe?

Danny let out a sigh, pulling back enough to look Steve in the eye to see the truth in his words.

"You know I'm right," he said quietly.

"Doesn't make it easier," Danny replied, just as quiet.

"Want to talk about it?" he asked.
