MCA #0, Saturday Morning

Without the air conditioning working, the only vaguely comfortable place to sleep last night had been out on the lanai. Because of course Danny ended up in a an apartment with a lanai.

His luck was just that good.

The only reason he was vaguely conscious now was the fact that the heat was picking right back up as the sun started to rise, making things uncomfortably hot and muggy. Now was trying to decide if the coffee shop still had power and could provide him with the amount of coffee it would take to deal with the bullshit of the day.

Choices, choices.

"If I say I'm fine will you calm down?" Steve asked.

He wasn't fine but he wasn't, you know, bleeding out, so on a scale of McGarrett he was a solid A-.
hatesparadise: (it's a spicy meatball)

"No, then I'll assume you're lying and have a gut wound you're hiding from me."

Well. That was true.
grenadesandohana: (why are you like this)

"I only went to space," Steve said, "I didn't get shot at while I was there!"
hatesparadise: (eyeroll so hard)

"Yeah, those pictures were actually pretty great and I'm upset you can never show them to Grace." He meant to say something sarcastic there. Honestly he did. "Even if it was dumb of you to do."
grenadesandohana: (smiiiiiirk)

"I've got a new job at the station, too," Steve said, smiling, "so you can stop fretting. And we'll see Gracie again, I'll show her when we do."
hatesparadise: (judging you so hard)

That sort of did loosen up something in Danny's chest to hear. Both of those things.

"And just how do you plan on explaining them?"

"This is me in space," Steve said. "The island where your dad and I got trapped is kind of nuts."

And that was before he met the actual Devil at a party.
hatesparadise: (you wanna listen to THAT guy?)

"Sure, if you want to get us committed." Because it was well beyond Jerry level weird.

"I'm not gonna lie to your daughter, Daniel," Steve said.
hatesparadise: (expressing himself via hand gestures)

"It sounds nuts," Danny repeated.
grenadesandohana: (look i have feelings)

"Well, I went to Jupiter yesterday and came home for dinner, so you're not wrong," Steve said.
hatesparadise: (let me explain it again)

Danny spread his hands wide, presenting his case there. "I'd rather my kid not think I'm nuts. Or that her uncle Steve is too."
grenadesandohana: (this is how i look at all my friends wha)

"I'd say that ship has sailed, but you're not actually crazy," Steve said with a fond smile. "You just worry."
hatesparadise: (listening to some bullshit)

"Of course I worry, my anxiety is off the charts here!" Danny said, searching for his wallet.

"Take a few deep breaths and tell me why," Steve said.
hatesparadise: (you're a putz)

"Why wouldn't it be? I'm stuck on an island that refuses to let me leave."

"And you'd rather be in Hawai'i with Grace," Steve said. "Have you tried again recently?"
hatesparadise: (pursed lips)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2020-07-13 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"I try every morning." Oh, that was just sad.
grenadesandohana: (look i have feelings)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2020-07-13 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, Danno," Steve said, forehead wrinkling. "I'm sorry."
hatesparadise: (babbling as per usual)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2020-07-13 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"And now you're here, which makes it a little better," Danny continued to just word vomit out. "Because you've indoctrinated me into just expecting you to show up in my life."
grenadesandohana: (look i have feelings)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2020-07-13 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, I'm glad me being here makes it a little better," Steve said, trying to sound dry and coming out sincere instead.
hatesparadise: (babbling as per usual)

"Well, the only thing better is Grace," Danny muttered, finally finding his wallet so he could escape this weird conversation.

Because admitting Steve was high up there on his hierarchy of needs was deeply embarrassing.
grenadesandohana: (smiiiiiirk)

Steve beamed, completely misunderstanding. "I'm better than Jersey? Than malasadas?"
hatesparadise: (were you dropped as a child?)

[personal profile] hatesparadise 2020-07-13 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," was what came out instead of the insistence that Steve not go crazy there.

Which was why Danny was fleeing like he was on fire. Steve, why you do him this way?
grenadesandohana: (talking with my hands like danny)

[personal profile] grenadesandohana 2020-07-13 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"Huh," Steve said, nonplussed. "Guess I'll sit here and do some crunches."
