MCA #0, Tuesday Morning

Whelp. It was turning out to be quite an annoying week so far. And they were only a few days in!

Steve was working out like a very distracting madman, which meant Danny was forced to avoid him if he went to the gym to hit a heavy bag until the itch along his spine faded to a manageable level. And once that stopped working, he was in the kitchen, aggressively cooking and baking enough to feed half the apartment complex.

He was doing just fine, though. Just fine.

[for the guy who lives there!]

Steve came through the kitchen, shirtless, with a laundry hamper full of clothes. "I'm out of stuff," he said. "Need me to toss yours in too?"
hatesparadise: (showing off that ample bosom)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-06 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Which was why Danny had the most pinched face look ever, turning a bit red. You know what? Normally he could just power on through Steve's casual nudity and attractiveness.

Normally.

"Because you've sweated through all of yours," he replied like he didn't have food splatter on his own shirt and a splotch of red sauce on his neck from cooking literally everything.
grenadesandohana: (neg: whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-06 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"Being healthy is important!" Steve said.
hatesparadise: (were you dropped as a child?)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-06 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"Are some of those mine already?" Was Danny already missing shirts to feed Steve's exercise habits?
grenadesandohana: (neg: are you damaged or something)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-06 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Steve looked shirty. "Maybe."
hatesparadise: (eyeroll so hard)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-06 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Danny sighed and looked at the ceiling because it was better than Steve's chest.

It wasn't, but it was less problematic.

"Fine. Let me change," he grumbled.

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-06 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"Put some stain stick on that, too!" Steve said because being stupidly domestic might help with inappropriate thought.
hatesparadise: (shirtless for reasons)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-06 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Danny waved him off, going to grab whatever shirt was still clean. Which wasn't much, really.

Or anything. He coulda sworn there was more this past weekend.

"Jesus, what in there is slightly clean?" he asked, coming back with the shirt he'd been wearing before in hand.
grenadesandohana: (mcdanno: partners)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-06 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"Think there's another laundry problem?" Steve asked, definitely not staring at Danny's chest.
hatesparadise: (Default)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-06 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"Better not be," Danny said, trying to find a shirt in there that wasn't as bad as the rest. Which mostly involved the sniff test. Downside, they mostly smelled like Steve.

Which wasn't that bad of a smell. Also something he could easily identify after spending to much time with the man.

Did it help that he settled on a Navy shirt?
grenadesandohana: (pos: grinning)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-06 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
It depends what you meant as "help," Danny. It was definitely making Steve's stomach do a thing? "We should call the super," he said. "Oh, wait."
hatesparadise: (trying not to hear your stupidity)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-06 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, now one of them had a shirt and the other didn't. And Danny was trying his level best to not let his gaze linger too long on those tattoos or biceps.

Wasn't doing great at it, though.

"Ha ha."
grenadesandohana: (pos: dipping head smile)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-06 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"Good looking and funny," Steve said, grinning. "Plus I do laundry. I'm the total package."
hatesparadise: (waiting for you to say something stupid)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-06 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"You're something alright," Danny shot back, resisting the urge to touch him as he shoved his dirty shirt into the basket.
grenadesandohana: (neu: blue shirt)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-06 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"Thank you," Steve said, balancing the basket on one arm so he could poke Danny in the bicep.
hatesparadise: (talking about feelings)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-06 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Damn it, Steve.

Danny glanced down at his arm where Steve had poked him. "You done with your workout for the morning?"
grenadesandohana: (neu: stupidly pretty)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-06 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Steve nodded. "That's when I needed a new shirt and realized I was out."
hatesparadise: (just bros being bros)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-06 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"You good?" Danny asked with a look that was the same amount of intense as normal, but maybe this week was a little too much.
grenadesandohana: (Default)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-06 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
So, so far from good. Steve kept his eyes locked onto Danny's for a good couple heartbeats longer than could be dismissed as good friends, then nodded. "You?"
hatesparadise: (shit that's not good)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-06 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
"Pretty awful, actually," Danny replied dryly, giving into the urge to give Steve's bicep a perfectly normal, perfectly bro-friendly squeeze.
grenadesandohana: (Default)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-06 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Steve definitely didn't flex right then, how dare you imply such a thing. "Jaye said this week gets a little weird."
hatesparadise: (talking about feelings)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-06 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"Don't work yourself to death because of it," Danny said, not moving his hand. You know. Just keeping it there.

For Steve's sake.
grenadesandohana: (neg: think face)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-06 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Steve appreciated it! Danny could tell by how Steve moved closer. "I'm not gonna work myself to death."
hatesparadise: (trying not to hear your stupidity)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-06 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"Babe, I've met you," Danny replied dryly.
grenadesandohana: (neu: how so pretty)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-06 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not to death," Steve repeated. "To...not want to get off from the couch."

And now that he heard himself say "get off" things had gotten a little awkward.
hatesparadise: (trying to explain procedure)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-06 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that one phrase took on a whole different meaning right about now. Danny blinked his way right on through it, though. Maybe with just a little bit of red showing up on his face.

"I'm feeding you and you're gonna not pass out from exhaustion."
grenadesandohana: (pos: dipping head smile)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-06 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"How would I pass out, Daniel?" Steve asked, smirking.
hatesparadise: (waiting for you to say something stupid)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-06 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"From exhaustion, Steven," Danny replied giving him a look that was grudgingly charmed by that anyway.
grenadesandohana: (pos: grinning)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-06 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
"I smell what you're cooking," Steve said. "I might pass out from calories."
hatesparadise: (they've got a point)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-06 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"You turnin' down my food?" Wow, that could sound like something else.
grenadesandohana: (Default)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-07 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
"When have I ever turned you down?" Steve asked.

Well. That's certainly a question.
hatesparadise: (feelin' smug)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-07 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, yes it was. One that had Danny reflexively rolling his shoulders like his body was gearing up for some sort of fight or flight reaction there. Because look at that charged moment happening once again!

"You're answering my questions with more questions, babe."
hatesparadise: (trying not to hear your stupidity)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-07 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Which was why Danny responded with his eyebrows instead of words. Because Steve could read it just as well, thanks.
grenadesandohana: (neg: sad puppy)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-07 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Steve had the grace to blush, at least?
hatesparadise: (fond smile)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-07 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Which normally might not illicit a grin and a quick glance at Steve's lips before he caught himself. But it did this time around.
grenadesandohana: (mcdanno: longing)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-07 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Probably didn't help that Steve licked his lips right then, either. This freaking week.
hatesparadise: (just bros being bros)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-07 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
It super did not help. Because Danny was letting out a little sigh and shifting forward a little bit.

They were just dragging out this tense, silent moment as long as they could, weren't they?
grenadesandohana: (neg: wait what)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-07 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
At least they had that thing of smelly laundry between them, breaking up the whatever this was turning into?

Because the silence was kind of killing Steve.
hatesparadise: (shit that's not good)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-07 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Thank god for that laundry! Because it kept Danny was swaying a little further into Steve's space. Bumping into that basket sent him stepping back and smoothing his hair like something had messed it up.

"You should get started on that."

The laundry, he meant.
grenadesandohana: (neu: how so pretty)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-07 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, the laundry, right!" Steve stammered. "Do you have something burning?"
hatesparadise: (objection!)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-07 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
"Shit!" Danny opened his mouth to say something more before immediately closing it and making a beeline for the kitchen. "I'll make you a plate!"

While they got their act together in separate corners of the ring.
grenadesandohana: (Default)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-07 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
The thunking from the laundry was definitely Steve's head against the dryer. "Get it together, McGarrett," he muttered to himself.
hatesparadise: (every time you speak my head hurts)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-07 11:22 am (UTC)(link)
If it helped, Danny was cursing under his breath and having a whole conversation with himself, hand gestures and everything, in the kitchen.

And the amount if food he'd piled on the plate for Steve was... something.
grenadesandohana: (pos: this is my danny smile)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-07 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Steve gradually emerged from the laundry closet...thing...looking a little sheepish. Then he saw the plate. "How hungry do you think I am, Danno?"
hatesparadise: (they've got a point)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-07 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
"You complaining about my portion sizes?" Danny asked, jabbing a finger in his direction.
grenadesandohana: (neu: thinky think think)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-07 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Steve thought of and rejected a half dozen size jokes because no. Just no.

"I'm not complaining."
hatesparadise: (it's a spicy meatball)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-07 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
It would end in a fight that would get a little too close to something else.

"Sit. Eat."
grenadesandohana: (Default)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-07 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Steve shot him a disgruntled look, but sat and ate.
hatesparadise: (thinking thoughtful thoughts)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-07 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Thank you," Danny said, ignoring how that made something warm bloom in his chest.
grenadesandohana: (pos: smile)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-07 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"You're welcome," Steve said, smiling genuinely. "This is really good."

Stress baking really did something for the quality.
hatesparadise: (talking about feelings)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-07 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
The secret ingredient was sexual frustration!

"Damn right it is." They were gonna have so many leftovers.
grenadesandohana: (neg: are you damaged or something)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-07 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"Were you making this for the office?" Steve asked.

Or maybe the entire HPD?
hatesparadise: (you wanna listen to THAT guy?)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-07 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"Look, you exercise, I cook," Danny replied.
grenadesandohana: (Default)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-07 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"And you cook very well," Steve said. "Enough here for a restaurant."
hatesparadise: (ehhhh)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-07 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'll probably bring some to the station," he admitted. "And drop it off for some of the people in the building."

And still have so much left.
grenadesandohana: (pos: dipping head smile)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-07 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"They might need the energy," Steve said dryly as something thumped upstairs.
hatesparadise: (were you dropped as a child?)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-07 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Danny looked up and just sighed. Sighed so loud.

"Young love," he grumbled.
grenadesandohana: (neu: blue shirt)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-08 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
"It's very athletic," Steve commented.

By Wednesday he'd be tempted to yell scores.
hatesparadise: (let me explain it again)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-08 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Or smack the ceiling with a broom!

"Maybe they'll wear themselves out."
grenadesandohana: (pos: smiiiiiirk)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-08 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
"That's uncharacteristically optimistic of you, Danno," Steve teased.
hatesparadise: (feelin' smug)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-08 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
"It's that or threatening them with a noise complaint," Danny shot back.
grenadesandohana: (pos: smile)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-08 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
"That seems like psyop warfare that will end in her throwing another huge party, me having another confetti gun, and you losing," Steve mused.
hatesparadise: (trying not to hear your stupidity)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-08 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oh sure, indirectly bring up the first time he kissed you, Steven.

Danny looked down at Steve's lips again for that memory. "What, you not on my side for this 'op'?"
grenadesandohana: (neg: wait what)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-08 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm always on your side, Danno," Steve said, "but you're picking a fight you'd lose."

And then bit his lower lip for no damn reason.
hatesparadise: (talking about feelings)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-08 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
You little shit!

"Oh, am I stepping on toes?"
grenadesandohana: (neg: finger waggling)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-08 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
"If you were having a lot of athletic sex and a neighbor banged on the wall, what would you, as a twenty-something and not a mid-30s, do?" Steve asked.
hatesparadise: (lecturing your dumb ass)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2021-04-08 11:06 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, he'd just be louder. Which Steve did not need to know.

"I meant yours," Danny replied. "Since you're all about bad plans."

"My plan to make them stop having very loud sex?" Steve replied. "Not being in the apartment."
grenadesandohana: (neg: wait what)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2021-04-08 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"I like Rey and Silver and would like to be able to look them in the eyes again sometime," Steve said, nodding.
