MCA #0, Thursday Evening

[grenadesandohana]

In Steve's opinion, it was never too cold to grill, and so he was out on the lanai with his giant puffy coat and a pair of flip flops, flipping steak. (He was also grilling vegetables, but it was the steak he was actually excited about.)

"Danno!" he called back into the house, keeping his voice loud enough to be heard through the glass door, "two minutes!"

"She can't be that bad," Steve said because he hadn't met her yet.

[hatesparadise]

"You lucked out in the mother-in-law category," Danny replied blandly. "Is all I'm saying."

[grenadesandohana]

"You...maybe hitting 0 for 2," Steve admitted.

[hatesparadise]

"I might be cursed there," he replied with a little sigh.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve leaned in for a kiss. "Mine never shows up?" he offered.

[hatesparadise]

"I'll take that," Danny muttered, kissing him back.

[grenadesandohana]

"No breaking her out of a Moroccan black site again," Steve said firmly. "Especially not at Christmas."

[hatesparadise]

"A very practical rule," Danny agreed readily. "Maybe not even on Thanksgiving either."

Mostly because Steve now had trauma thanks to Mary.

[grenadesandohana]

"Or Halloween," Steve added.

[hatesparadise]

"Let's say holidays in general? Off the table."

[grenadesandohana]

"I completely agree," Steve said a little vehemently.

[hatesparadise]

"Birthdays too!" Guys, you were being ridiculous.

[grenadesandohana]

"I'm not answering my phone on your birthday if it isn't Chin, Kono, Grover, or the governor," Steve promised.

[hatesparadise]

Danny grinned before leaning over to kiss him for that. "Thanks, babe. In return, I'll make sure to..." Oh, the sigh. "Book a camping trip for yours."

[grenadesandohana]

Steve's entire face lit up. "You mean it?"

[hatesparadise]

"We're splitting the week between a place with actual beds and your weird need to sleep on the ground, but yes."

It was true love, Steve. True love.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve leaned in and gave him a soft, lingering kiss. "Love you, Danno."

[hatesparadise]

"Love you too, babe," Danny murmured. He better enjoy the clingy moping after Christmas with the kids leaving the country.

[grenadesandohana]

"I like you better when you're not a cat," Steve added.

[hatesparadise]

"Pretty sure I slept on your neck half the time I was one," Danny said with a snort. "So I get that."

And just aggressively purred there.

[grenadesandohana]

"I'll be getting cat hair out of the bed for a month," he teased.

[hatesparadise]

"It's barely noticeable!" Said the guy who didn't clean as much as Steve.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve snorted. "Sure it is."

[hatesparadise]

"I'll do the laundry, alright?" Did that help?

[grenadesandohana]

"You should do the laundry anyway," Steve told him.
