MCA #0, Sunday Afternoon

Well, yesterday was a thing. A whole entire thing. And Danny was not happy about any of it.

So, after doing the thing he'd done for weeks when he first arrived, he spent his morning trying the causeway to follow after Steve again to no avail. Hence being back at the apartment to stress bake.

It was this or have an anxiety attack over the level of unknowns and he thought his shrink would prefer this, honestly.

"It's very admirable," Annie agreed. "But I think I've given my mom literally all her gray hairs doing exactly that, myself. It's not easy not knowing what's happening."

Danny made a face because, well, Steve's parents. Ugh.

"He'll tell everyone that he's done missions worse than this before, but he had actual back up then. Not this--off the books whatever this is."

Also, he had his team coming to rescue his ass in Korea.
defenderofdesmoines: (annie - thinking)

"It also doesn't matter if he's done worse - it doesn't change that this is still dangerous," Annie pointed out with a firm little shake of her head. "Though the lack of back-up is...especially not great."
hatesparadise: (eyeroll so hard)

"Well, you'll get your cookies today, I guess." Because Danny needed a goddamn distraction.
defenderofdesmoines: (annie - looking off)

"Can I help?" Annie was not usually great in a kitchen, but it seemed like the hard part was done. And plus it seemed like the more distractions, the better.

Which was sweet of her to offer, really, judging by the relieved expression he was trying to hide. And he was used to a pre-teen, so it couldn't be worse than that level of skill, right?

"We got anginetti or rugelach." Which both probably sounded fancy, though the Jersey accent brought it down to normal. "I promised mice cookies and I'm worried what'll happen if I renege on that."
defenderofdesmoines: (annie - considering)

[personal profile] defenderofdesmoines 2020-12-14 12:32 pm (UTC)(link)
They did sound fancy, but part of that was also that Annie's cookie education was pretty sorely lacking. Blame her mother and her fear of all things sugar and butter.

"You make all these different types of cookies every year?" she asked, already dutifully rolling up her sleeves. "I usually count myself lucky if I find someone who made those peanut butter things with the Hershey's kiss in the middle."

Danny snorted quietly at that and shook his head as he defaulted to grabbing the rugelach as his 'taking care of other people' comfort food of choice.

Steve was going to get so much goddamn matzo ball soup shoved at him.

"I didn't have a kitchen for a couple years there. Between the divorce and the housing market in Hawaii--its kind of a luxury I'm not about to take for granted again. And I like baking for other people."

"I like being 'other people,' then," Annie decided with a smile. "What kind is Grace's favorite?"

"Anything she can grab," he replied dryly. "Honestly, she shares her dad's love of these pastries on the islands, coco puffs? Amazing. Would sell my soul to make as good as them."
defenderofdesmoines: (annie - midsentence)

[personal profile] defenderofdesmoines 2020-12-14 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"Coco like chocolate or coco like coconut?" Annie had to ask, being a huge fan of both.
hatesparadise: (let me explain it again)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2020-12-14 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"Chocolate. Think cream puffs, but filled with chocolate pudding." Best part of Hawaii.
defenderofdesmoines: i can't take it anymore (annie - hypodermics on the shore)

[personal profile] defenderofdesmoines 2020-12-14 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"That sounds like it should be illegal." Also seriously yes, getting added to Annie's Big List of Reasons to Visit Hawaii. "I can count on one hand the number of times I've had a cream puff and I really need to increase my quota, especially if there's potential for chocolate pudding."

Her mother would have a fit, wouldn't she?

"There's also malasadas, which are donuts, but better."

He was gonna make everyone fat. It was his goal.

defenderofdesmoines: (annie - real talk)

[personal profile] defenderofdesmoines 2020-12-14 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"Okay, donuts are like, my weakness. Don't tell anyone." Annie was only half-kidding. "How can they possibly be better?"

Poor girl had also never had a beignet.
hatesparadise: (talking with his hands)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2020-12-14 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"You just need to try and see," he replied with a broad sweep of his hand. "I say this as a someone who has been a cop coming up fast on twenty years. Best I've had."

Soon he'd be giving Steve panic attacks over potential retirement plans.

"When I was a kid, there was like, absolutely no junk food allowed in our house - my mom's kind of a tyrant about weight gain. But my dad would sneak me out and take me to Dunkin' just about every week," Annie shared, just slightly wistful. "So, like, I'm not gonna call myself a donut connoisseur or anything but - big fan of all things fried dough, at least."

Danny's expression was one of someone who felt the need to also make up for that sort of thing.

"Well, don't tell your mom about this. Dough's made with cream cheese on top the butter because ma's grandma wanted to make everyone fat and happy."
defenderofdesmoines: (annie - smiling up at you)

[personal profile] defenderofdesmoines 2020-12-14 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"There's already a whole list of things I don't tell my mom about this place, but cream cheese dough might have to go to the top." Though Annie was pretty sure that was the greatest thing she'd ever heard of, and it showed.
