It's another one of those nights. Halfway through trying to get to sleep, Danny inches closer to Steve and realizes that he's about to go out of his mind considering the whole 'Steve is right here and I can't touch him'. He equips himself with a jacket, boots, and trudges in his comfortable pajamas until he's at Neil's home (carrying a lantern as he goes). He breathes out small puffs of air into his fist, giddy at the sight of winter, not so giddy at the fact that Steve is still putting a Chinese wall between them, so to speak.
He knocks, quietly, just in case the girls are asleep, and rubs a hand over his arm to keep the blood flowing. One night away won't net him much sleep, but it'll preserve Steve's goddamn honor.
