Author's Notes: Written for the prompt 'Burn' for my 10_hurt_comfort table, located here. I don't know much personally about burns and burn treatments, so most of what is here I found online. Forgive me if I've gotten anything wrong. This fic is complete, so there won't be much waiting in between each chapter. I do need to leave a little suspense though. :D

Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
Grace had fallen asleep by the time Kono and Chin got to Danny’s room. A nurse was in the room, replacing the oxygen mask with a nasal cannula. Rachel was the first one to see them when they walked into the room.
“Danny, the others are here.”
The nurse finished and left, walking around Chin and Kono as they walked toward the bed. They both had solemn looks on their faces.
“I think it’s time I take Grace home. She’s had a long day.”
Danny nodded. Rachel woke her so she could say goodnight to her father.
“Goodnight, Monkey. Danno loves you.”
“Goodnight, Daddy.”
They left the room and then Chin and Kono each took a chair.
“How’s Steve?”
Chin hesitated briefly. “His doctor thinks he’ll be okay. It’s going to take some time though. He has some deep burns on his arm they had to clean and apply skin grafts to. The doctor also said he had a mild concussion.”
“Have you seen him yet?”
“No. The doctor said they’d send someone here to let us know when he can have visitors.”
Danny nodded, but didn’t say anything. Kono decided to try and get him talking. A quiet Danny was not a good thing.
“Danny, what happened in there?”
“It’s all my fault. If I’d paid better attention, I wouldn’t have stepped on the pressure plate and activated the bomb. He wouldn’t have taken a stupid risk to save my life. I knew it wouldn’t work, but I let him do it anyway.”
“Hey, Danny, you should know by now that you don’t let Steve do anything. Once he’s made up his mind, there’s no changing it.”
“She’s right, Danny. He would have done it no matter what you tried to say or do.”
Danny couldn’t help the small grin that crossed his face. “You’re right. That’s one of the things that really infuriates me about him.”
All three of them were laughing when a nurse walked in, followed by Dr. Marcus. Chin saw him first.
“Hi, Dr. Marcus. Danny, this is Steve’s doctor.”
“So this is the Danny that my patient keeps asking about?”
“How is he?”
“I was just coming to let you know that he can have visitors now. I also wanted to find out firsthand how you were doing. He was quite insistent.”
“Of course he was.” They all laughed.
“Everything is looking good so far. It’s still early though. He was awake when I left him a few minutes ago. He probably wishes he wasn’t.”
Danny looked at him anxiously. “What do you mean?”
“Well, as you probably know, burns are painful. Well, his are considerably worse and more widespread than yours. I’ve given him some pain meds, but I’m reluctant to give him anything stronger because of the concussion.”
“And I bet he’s telling you that he’s fine, through gritted teeth, no less.”
The doctor smiled. “He can have one visitor at a time.”
Chin stood. “I’ll go first.” Kono gave him the go ahead, so he followed the doctor to Steve’s room. As he was leaving the room, he could have sworn he heard Danny say, “Tell him this is all his fault.”
------------------------------
Dr. Marcus stopped Chin just outside the door to Steve’s room.
“I just want to let you know what to expect when you go in there. We’ve got most of the burns covered. The grafted area is uncovered at the moment, but we’ll be covering it once we are sure the graft has taken. He’s in a lot of pain, although he’s denying it.”
“Thanks for the warning.”
They walked in. Steve had his eyes closed, but Chin could tell he was awake.
“You can open your eyes. I know you’re awake.”
Steve opened his eyes slowly. He was in more pain than he could ever remember being in. The pain medicine was barely doing anything. He lifted his right hand and pulled the oxygen mask down.
“Hey, Chin, doctor. How’s Danny?”
“He’s worried about you.”
“Is he mad?”
The doctor gave them both a look. “I think I’ll leave you two to talk. Ten minutes, then the mask goes back on.” He left the room.
“He’s blaming himself.”
“I need to talk to him.” Steve started to move, but thought better of it when the pain in his arm spiked.
“Yeah, um, neither one of you is going anywhere for the time being.”
“How is he, really?”
“He’s got burns on both hands. He hasn’t said anything about how, but the doctor is pretty sure that he used his shirt and hands to put out the fire on your arm.”
Steve didn’t say anything. He squeezed his eyes shut; the pain was spiking again.
The doctor walked in at that point. “Time’s up.” He walked over to Steve. “I’m going to give you some more pain meds. Your arm’s looking good so far.” He put the mask back on Steve’s face.
“I’m going back to Danny’s room. Oh, yeah, he wanted me to tell you that this is all your fault.”
Chin could see the smile under the mask. With his good hand, Steve gave him a thumbs up. Chin chuckled. Yeah, it may take awhile, but they were both going to be just fine.
