The months passed.Steve was doing his physio and water exercises but nothing,no improvement.He started his old "I wanna get up by myself" trick.One night he's sitting at the beach staring at the ocean while Danny was at work.He tries to get up but obviously he can't and he falls into the water.He just stays there,he doesn't want to move.After 5 minutes Danny comes home.
Danny-Steve
He doesn't see Steve anywhere,he looks at the beach were he sees Steve's chair.He approaches
Danny-Hey Steve why don't you answer to...
When he gets closer he sees Steve laying infront of the chair and into the water.He pulls him out.He checks for pulse but it's weak.He starts CPR and after a few seconds Steve starts coughing water out.
Danny-Steve,Steve are you ok?
Steve-Wha-What happened?
Danny-You almost drowned
Steve looks at Danny,Danny helps him get back on his chair
Danny-You tried to get up and you fell right?
Steve-I can't Danny,I don't wanna do this anymore,I'm never gonna walk again
Danny-Steve don't do that, don't say that again,you'll walk
Steve-I'm not Danny,we should accept it and move on
Danny-I can't stand watching you doing this to yourself again,it doesn't only hurt you,it hurts me too
Steve-Why?
Danny-Don't do that please, don't
Steve-Do what
Danny-Ask why
Steve-Danny I don't wanna hurt you,tell me why are you hurting
Danny goes inside the house,Steve follows him inside,he grabs Danny's arm
Steve-Danny tell me
Danny-I can't
Steve-Please Danny,you can tell me anything
Danny-I'll lose you if I do and I don't want that
Steve-Please Danny,yoy won't lose me
Danny-No
Steve-Danny
Danny looks at him,after along minute Danny kneels in front of Steve
Danny-I can't stand watching the man I love being in pain and me being unable to help
Steve-What?
Danny-I love you and I can't watch you doing this to yourself, being in pain and me not being able to help
Steve pulls Danny into a kiss
Steve-I love you too and I won't do this again if that means I am hurting you and you help me,you help me a lot,more than you imagine,I wouldn't be gere without your help
They kiss again
Steve-If I knew you felt the same I would have told you long ago
Danny-Why didn't you?
Steve-Because I didn't wanted to lose you
They hug,Steve starts crying.Danny looks him in the eyes
Danny-What happened Steve?Why are you crying?
Steve-Because you deserve better than me,I'm just a useless man on a wheelchair
Danny hugs him
Danny-No,no,you are the best and we'll get rid of this thing,I promise
