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!"

Comments

"Steak's just better from the grill," Steve said.

[hatesparadise]

"And made by you," he drawled.

[grenadesandohana]

"Well, you call me a control freak, so...yes," Stee agreed.

[hatesparadise]

"I do because you are," Danny replied, grinning over at him. "Which I guess is something I'm into."

[grenadesandohana]

Steve grinned back. "Love you, too."

[hatesparadise]

Danny snorted. "Thank you, babe."

[grenadesandohana]

"I like being something you're into," Steve said with a little smirk.

[hatesparadise]

Danny snorted and gave him a little kick. "Well, congrats on that."

[grenadesandohana]

"And maybe later, you can be a different kind of into me--"

Steven. No.

[hatesparadise]

That caused him to burst out into a laugh. "Oh, you're so smooth."

[grenadesandohana]

"I have a nickname about it and everything," Steve said proudly.

[hatesparadise]

"So very into you," he said dryly. "So charmed."

[grenadesandohana]

Steve laughed. "I can tell by that slightly repulsed look on your face."

[hatesparadise]

"No, no, this is my turned on face. As you well know." Right, Steven?

[grenadesandohana]

Steve grinned. "Well, you have a lot of different faces," he teased.

[hatesparadise]

"And knowing them is all part of bein' my partner." Danny paused. "Husband? We gonna say that or partner still?"

[grenadesandohana]

"I think it depends on where we are," Steve said. "I'm not introducing you to perps as my husband."

[hatesparadise]

"Well, of course. Obviously. But we said partner and people got a different impression before." Well. "Other than that dumb couples counsellor at the hotel."

[grenadesandohana]

"None of that was my fault," Steve protested.

[hatesparadise]

"I'm not blaming you!" This time.

[grenadesandohana]

"Good, because it wasn't my fault." That time.

[hatesparadise]

Danny rolled his eyes again. "You're ridiculous."

[grenadesandohana]

"Finish your dinner so we can sit on the couch as two people and not one person and one yowling monster bent on chaos," Steve said.

[hatesparadise]

Danny eyed him.

"You better be talkin' about yourself," he muttered.

[grenadesandohana]

"Sure," Steve said. "I also spent a week sitting in a Christmas bag and hissing."
