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

[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."

[hatesparadise]

"I was a cat!" This was clearly revenge for taking so many pictures of Steve as an otter.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve grinned and finished his steak. "Yes, you were."

[hatesparadise]

"This better be an amazing steak, is all I'm saying," Danny grumbled, cutting into it dramatically.

[grenadesandohana]

"Have I ever made you a bad steak?" Steve asked.

[hatesparadise]

Danny didn't have a smart comeback for that, but he did have a surly look instead. "I guess."

Always good on the steaks, Steve. Somehow always good.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve smirked. "I knew it."

[hatesparadise]

"Shaddap," Danny muttered. "No one likes a smug person. No one."

Danny apparently did.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve continued to smirk as he drank his beer.

[hatesparadise]

Danny kicked him gently again, digging in. "Mary mention any plans to visit for Christmas?"

So they could be aware of it. And not get caught again.

[grenadesandohana]

"No," Steve said, shaking his head. "She also mentioned buying me locks for my gift. She's the worst."

[hatesparadise]

Danny snorted at that. "Well, maybe she needs to learn not to wander in if it's apparently a habit for you."

Don't think he didn't remember that comment, Steve.

[grenadesandohana]

"It's not a habit!" Steve said. "It's my sister never says when she's showing up!"

[hatesparadise]

"Uh huh," Danny replied, definitely teasing him now. "Well, we'll be sure to get something to send to Joanie then."

Way to wifey it up, Daniel.

[grenadesandohana]

"Flak jacket," Steve said, nodding.

[hatesparadise]

"Flak jacket," Danny repeated.

[grenadesandohana]

"Are you worried they don't come that small?" Steve asked.

[hatesparadise]

"I am worried about why you are giving a toddler a flak jacket," Danny countered.

[grenadesandohana]

"Safety first," Steve said. "Maybe they come in pink."

[hatesparadise]

"Let's go with something less military themed for now and work into that later." Never. He meant never.
