MCA #0, Friday evening

Steve had been gritting his teeth and pushing through pain all week, nourished only by bland, terrible food, decaf coffee, and stubbornness.

(He was also fueled by his transplant anti-rejection pills, which he'd take for the rest of his life. He hated that.)

He wasn't running, but he was definitely walking up and down the steps of the island until his calves burned, and then did it for another half hour.

(His body had betrayed him after decades of work making it a finely oiled machine. He was punishing it just a little.)

And now he was back in the apartment, looking for something interesting to eat. There was nothing interesting to eat, but he was looking anyway.

[OOC: For Danno.]

"The hell have you been?" Steve, you had to know he'd get annoyed by the running off to attempt exercise. Or was it the point in some way?

"For that long?" Danny asked, moving closer to see he was all sweaty. "Seriously?"
hatesparadise: (let me explain it again)

"Can you not push yourself here?" Danny asked, sighing as he went to shove a towel at him. "For a week?"
hatesparadise: (oh he's got jokes now)

"This? This is pushing," danny pointed out.
hatesparadise: (it's a spicy meatball)

"...so?" He didn't end up stinky! It was a win in Danny's book.
hatesparadise: (eyeroll so hard)

"Well, you got at least two more weeks on the sidelines." Bold to think you could stop him, Daniel.

"I'm trying to get you better," Danny countered.
hatesparadise: (were you dropped as a child?)

"Oh, because you're so good at listening to me otherwise," Danny grumbled.
hatesparadise: (trying to explain procedure)

"Because what I want is the sane thing." Boys, this was getting a little real for bickering.
hatesparadise: (let me explain it again)

"Do you?" Danny asked. "They've changed since the plane crash."
hatesparadise: (talking about feelings)

"I get that you wanna get back at it, but it's gonna be slower. You're not young."

Wrong thing to say?
hatesparadise: (eyeroll so hard)

"You're not fine, you have my liver in you!"

"What the hell does that mean?" Because that was leaning a weird place.
