MCA #0, Thursday morning

[grenadesandohana]

Steve had woken up this morning being squashed under a military-issue duffel bag with "NAVY OBLIGATIONS" stenciled neatly on the side, tripped over a matching one labeled "BULLFROG" and careened into "FREDDY," and fell onto "AFGHANISTAN."

"Fucking fuck," he muttered from the ground. "Danny?"

Comments

"Found the milk," Steve said, dodging the "AVOIDANCE ISSUES" as it landed.

[hatesparadise]

"You can cook the eggs," Danny said, giving the newest box a look because, well, yeah. He knew that about Steve. It was a family trait.

[grenadesandohana]

"Because you make terrible eggs," Steve said, ignoring the 'PICKS FIGHTS FOR FUN' wallet. It was small and ignorable.

[hatesparadise]

"...that you or me?" Because. Well.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve shrugged. "Could be either," he admitted.

[hatesparadise]

"Well, at least we got that in common," he said, bumping into Steve's side as he passed to pour their coffees.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve smiled. "Is it a good sign when our baggage agrees?"

[hatesparadise]

"Eh, case by case basis."

'SUCKER FOR AN UNDERDOG' dropped in the form of a grocery bag.

[grenadesandohana]

"I'm not an underdog," Steve mutttered.

[hatesparadise]

"Babe, it's a magic grocery bag." Clearly it didn't always tell the truth. Even if it kind of did here.

[grenadesandohana]

"And being mad at a magic grocery bag is dumb," Steve said.

[hatesparadise]

"Got it in one," he agreed.

[grenadesandohana]

"But I'm kind of annoyed at a magic grocery bag," Steve said, glaring at it.

[hatesparadise]

"How's that going for you?" Danny asked, offering Steve his terrible butter coffee.

[grenadesandohana]

"It's doing nothing," Steve said with a dry smile.

[hatesparadise]

"Weird, huh?" Danny replied with a smile that said Steve was a goof, but he was Danny's goof.

[grenadesandohana]

"I'll keep trying," Steve said, smiling back. "Want fruit with breakfast? There's some pineapple in the fridge."

[hatesparadise]

"I hate you so much," Danny informed him.

'PICKS FIGHTS FOR FUN' plopped down again!

[grenadesandohana]

"That one yours?" Steve asked, pointing. "It feels like yours."

[hatesparadise]

"Probably," Danny said, putting a hand on the small of Steve's back for a kiss.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve kissed him back. "I like that you pick fights for fun."

[hatesparadise]

"Syncs us up," Danny agreed

[grenadesandohana]

Steve kissed him again. "It's good when our baggage understands each other."

[hatesparadise]

"What, you think we wouldn't know these things after this long?"

[grenadesandohana]

"I like to pretend I have some secrets," Steve admitted.
