Chapter 14
Steve decided to take a chance and move slowly for his spare hand gun in his side pocket but unfortunately his movement wasn't slow enough and their suspect caught it;
"You idiot I said don't move!" he yelled, he moved the gun to aim for Steve's head and in that moment all that could be heard was a loud "BANG" echoing all around the house.
Danny and Chin quickly made their way towards the commotion as soon as they heard it but they were coming up from the basement at the other end of the house so they knew Kono would get there before them. This house was probably too big for just the 4 of them to search but they could deal with it. They reached the bottom of the staircase where the sound had come from above but by this point all was quiet. They had just made it half way up the stairs when a bang echoed all through the house. Quickly ducking at the sudden noise they both looked at each other concern all over their face;
"Steve? Kono?" Danny asked but all he got was static in response.
"We've lost connection" Chin said sighing, nodding to Danny they two quickly rushed up the rest of the stairs but quickly came to a stop as they came face to face with Kono's back, her gun pointed in a doorway.
Steve closed his eyes the minute he seen the gun being raised to his head, if this was the moment he died then he was glad he'd told Kono that he loved her. Steve heard the bang go off but when he opened his eyes the perp was lying on the floor in front of him with a bullet hole right between the eyes. Steve released a breathe he didn't realise he was holding, there was only one other person apart from himself that could pull off a shot like that and that was Kono. The squeaking of the door opening behind him caused Steve to turn around and there standing in the doorway was Kono, Chin and Danny.
When Kono seen their suspect point the gun towards Steve's head she didn't even need to think twice as she pulled the trigger, she thanked god that Steve had taught her everything about sniper shooting and that she was lucky she could pull off a good shot because if she was a few inches wide Steve would have been the one on the ground and that thought just didn't bare thinking about. Seeing Danny and Chin walk towards her she nodded her head at them before entering the room, the door squeaked letting Steve know of their presence as he turned to face them. For the first time since early hours of the morning Kono and Steve locked eyes, every emotion running past each other's eyes but Steve said the only thing he could say in that moment;
"Thanks" he said softly as he continued to look at him. Kono still watched him as if she was making sure he was actually alive and that she hadn't miss but gave him a small smile as a response before looking away. Danny and Chin watched the two of them and wondered what was wrong but thought better than to question it the now, Chin cleared his throat;
"I'll get HPD down here and then I think we could call it a day, maybe a few drinks and paperwork can wait until tomorrow" he said watching Steve who still had his eyes on Kono.
"Sounds good" he said before walking past them and leaving the house.
Nearly 5 hours had passed since she killed the perp to save Steve, nearly 5 hours since she saw the love of her life being held at gun point and nearly 5 hours since she took a shot that could have easily hit Steve if she had aimed wrong. But 5 hours since then she found herself going round the side of Steve's house heading towards the back that looked out over the ocean and that is where she found him. He was sitting out in the sand looking out over the ocean and just from sitting she could tell he had everything about them going round and round in his head just like her.
Steve felt her presence from behind him before she sat down next to him on the sand, the silence between them was comfortable which Steve thought was strange after everything that had happened but he was more than grateful that it wasn't awkward. The silence didn't last long though as Steve decided to break it;
"Thanks again for today, I got distracted again and you saved me so thanks" he said as he looked out over the ocean to scared to look at her for now. Kono sighed at hearing him thanking her again but was slightly confused by his comment of "distracted again" meant;
"It's my job Steve you know that but you're welcome, I know you would have done the same for me. But what do you mean by distracted again?" Kono asked, she knew he didn't normally open up but she hoped that he would again like in the early hours of the morning. Steve grabbed her hand for support and he was pleased when Kono squeezed his hand back;
"When I got hit with the car, I was distracted because I was thinking about you in the hospital and the fact that I had overheard the conversation which turned out to be something I misunderstood" he said sighing before turning to finally look at her. She was sitting watching him intently, urging him to continue with her eyes "And then today when I ended up being at gun point because I couldn't get the fact that I had probably screwed up what we could possibly have. When I saw that gun being pointed at my head the only thing I could think of was that if I was to die right there then at least I was able to tell you that I love you" he whispered the last part and hung his head but Kono had heard it. As Steve lifted his head to look at her, Kono had tears running freely down her face.
"I've never been so scared in my whole life like I was today Steve, I had to stand there and watch the person I love be held at gun point. If I've learned anything from today it's that this time and space thing isn't going to work for me" she said letting everything just come out in the open since she knew that she wanted nothing more than Steve. Steve's eyes quickly locked with hers after her confession;
"You..you love me?" Steve stuttered out which got a giggle from Kono.
"Really Steve I thought it was obvious but yes I love you and today I realised that in this line of job time and space won't work for us and I don't want it either. So what do you say, willing to give us a go?" Kono asked with a huge smile on her face and hoping with everything that Steve would say yes. Steve couldn't believe what he was hearing; Kono loved him and wanted to be with him. He couldn't stop the smile that took over his face and Kono noticed it too;
"I love you Kono more than anything and being with you would make me the happiest man alive" Steve quickly said but before Kono had a chance to say anything Steve's lips was on hers and they finally made love for the first time under the stars.
And there you have it, the very last chapter. But you are all probably going to hate me now as this is my last 50 story for a few weeks as I go away on holiday on Monday for 5 days. But don't worry I will be back with more 50 fic's and it will be a sequel to this story!
