As he's slipping to the side, letting Steve by, stepping with the push at his chest and breathing out relief. At least Steve isn't fighting him on it. Well. Not really. Steve isn't still trying to drag it out of him, which is nice, which Danny doesn't expect to last, but which is nice. A nice reprieve. "There are at least three different forms to file against you if you did, you maniac. I'd want them done right."
Actually, there's probably a decent amount of paperwork that should be involved with them going to bed together, too, that neither of them has actually brought up. Which Danny's not sure how to feel about on the best days, and which is doomed to failure and paranoia on an evening like this, after the shock of opening the door and finding Cath there.
Cath who knows. Who is the only one who knows. When they haven't told the Governor, or the rest of the team. Like it's.
Except that way lies madness. It's not that it's a secret because either of them are ashamed of it. Right? They are keeping it to themselves because it is an extremely complicated situation and they want to get a handle on it before inviting anyone else into their private lives.
At least, Danny does. He doesn't know what Steve thinks. Isn't even sure what Steve told Cath, aside from that he couldn't be with her. Doesn't have the first clue what Steve thinks of all this, except that it isn't a joke to him.
Doesn't know if Steve would ever tell anyone else, without forcing his hand. Or what he would say.
And absolutely none of this is actually helpful, at all, or conducive to forcing himself to relax.
The bed is good, though, when he gets in, sheets cool and mattress soft, even with Steve's less-than-threatening finger pointing at him, even when he still can't or won't deny that there was something, doesn't disagree with Steve's first statement, which is definitely all true.
Just gets in the bed, and slides one hand under his head, between hair and the pillow, and waits for Steve to do the same, his back aching where it won't relax, stubbornly, into the mattress below. "But this is definitely preferable."
