MCA#0, Thursday late evening

[grenadesandohana]

For so many reasons, honestly whatever reason, Steve was unable to sleep, so he was back in front of the television with a glass of water, watching the British show about restoring antiques.

But the soothing British biceps accents weren't doing their usual magic.

Steve wasn't sure why, but he was going to stay sitting there just in case it started working.

[OOC: For the roommate!]

Comments

"It fills me with terror that they all text each other," Steve admitted.

[hatesparadise]

"I know your sister has her friends out there in L.A., but with your Aunt and... Doris." He didn't think he needed to elaborate on that. "I thought some extra family, even if they're on the east coast, it couldn't hurt."

[grenadesandohana]

Steve's smile was decidedly soft when Danny framed it that way. "Thanks, Danno."

[hatesparadise]

"She's your sister," Danny said like that explained it all, bumping his shoulder into Steve's.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve's smile widened. "Yeah, she is."

[hatesparadise]

"They'll like you. Just be your normal, charming self."

But not too charming. Stella was single.

[grenadesandohana]

"You think I'm charming?" Steve asked.

[hatesparadise]

"You know I do," Danny said, rolling his eyes.

[grenadesandohana]

"It's just nice to hear," Steve said, snuggling into the sofa a little smugly.

[hatesparadise]

"Schmuck," Danny said, smacking him on the arm.

[grenadesandohana]

"See?" Steve teased. "That's the follow up that could give a guy a complex."

[hatesparadise]

"I just don't want you getting too big a head," Danny replied, glancing at him with a grin.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve poked him in the shoulder. "I never have to worry about that with you around."

[hatesparadise]

"It's why you keep me around," he teased.

[grenadesandohana]

"And your lasagna," Steve said.

[hatesparadise]

"That's a given," Danny replied, able to relax in their normal level of cuddling bro sitting.

[grenadesandohana]

"The rest of you I could take or leave," Steve teased.

[hatesparadise]

"Uh huh." You said you loved him, you little jerk. No take backs.

[grenadesandohana]

It definitely wasn't why Steve was holding onto Danny's shoulder a little tighter. Don't be ridiculous.

[hatesparadise]

Of course not! Or why Danny reached up to give Steve's wrist a little squeeze. Because they were both fine and normal.

[grenadesandohana]

Very, very normal. "Dunno about this show," Steve finally admitted.

[hatesparadise]

"Maybe it grows on you." Because Danny was also concerned about the amount of time saying 'glory hole'.

[grenadesandohana]

"Maybe," Steve agreed.

[hatesparadise]

Which was, of course, when one of the contestants went on and on about how hard it was to work in the glory hole.

And Danny just struggled to not laugh like some idiot teenager.

[grenadesandohana]

That's okay because Steve was absolutely losing it.
