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.

Though the location didn't help.
Danny sighed and tilted his face into that touch.

Messy, Steve. You mean messy.

"Still here," he murmured.
And if that could be taken a couple ways, well.

"Yeah, you are," Danny sighed, resting his forehead on Steve's shoulder for a moment.

But right now it was Steve and he definitely wanted it before.
"We're good," Danny agreed, making it more like he was still checking.

Because he just needed to hold onto him for a little bit longer.

Because just because Danny's mood had been thoroughly killed, didn't mean Steve's was, right?
no subject
It was poor bro etiquette to point stuff like that out, right? Maybe?
no subject
Danny probably didn't help anything by gesturing vaguely between them either. So. There was that.

"You sure? I can--"

But now it was the principle of the matter.
"I'm offering."
no subject
But, but, but.
He scratched his fingers along Danny's backbone. "Only if you're sure."
