MCA #0, Way Too Early Monday Morning

[hatesparadise]

Well, that had certainly been a weekend. Grace being there had been great as per usual, while Doris had been... Doris.

Which was why Danny hasn't just fallen back asleep with a grumpy huff when Steve had gotten up for his usual level of exercise. Instead, he padded on out to make coffee, but found it already started by Steve. The good stuff again too.

That was what led Danny to taking his coffee to sit on the lanai to do something so cliché as to watch the sunrise as he waited for Steve to join him there.

"What are you sorry for? You didn't do it," Danny replied.

[grenadesandohana]

"I'm still sorry," Steve sighed.

[hatesparadise]

Danny reached over to cup his cheek for a very coffee-y kiss. "Your mother hasn't scared me off. I've already met her."

[grenadesandohana]

"That's true," Steve murmured, kissing him back.

[hatesparadise]

"More worried about the toll that's takin' on you," Danny replied with another kiss.

[grenadesandohana]

"I'll be fine," Steve said. "It's just taking a minute."

[hatesparadise]

"You don't need to be fine," Danny replied, tilting Steve's face up to look him in the eye.

[grenadesandohana]

"I really do, Danno," Steve murmured.

[hatesparadise]

"C'mere," Danny said, putting his coffee to the side so he could pull Steve back to lay on the daybed with him.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve went with only a little reluctance, settling in against Danny again. "I really am sorry I missed out on Grace time," he murmured.

[hatesparadise]

"You and me both," Danny replied, sighing as he relaxed slowly. Now that Hurricane Doris was gone, he could. "We'll make it up to her, yeah?"

[grenadesandohana]

Now that Steve was sure that the recording devices were gone, he was too. He pressed a barely-there kiss to the top of Danny's head. "Back to Hawai'i soon?" he suggested.

[hatesparadise]

"Yeah," Danny agreed. "You get to figure out what we tell the team. Or if we do yet."

Oh please, Lou would take one look at them and go hid in his office while Chin and Kono pounced.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve let out a little sigh. "We'll see what disasters are already waiting for us."

[hatesparadise]

Danny snorted before pressing a kiss to the nearest bit of Steve next to him. "Thought you loved those disasters."

[grenadesandohana]

"Sometimes," Steve had to admit, smiling. "It would be nice to have an non-raccoon disaster to deal with."

[hatesparadise]

"Well, as raccoons are not a native species to the islands, I think you'll be safe, " Danny teased.

[grenadesandohana]

"With our luck, there'll be an illegal rodent smuggling operation to break up," Steve said.

[hatesparadise]

"We can give that case to HPD." You know. Graciously.

[grenadesandohana]

"And they say we're case hogs," Steve said, snickering. "Look how hypothetically generous we can be."

[hatesparadise]

"We are case hogs," Danny replied dryly.

[grenadesandohana]

"Well, they don't do it as well as we do," Steve said.

[hatesparadise]

Danny laughed again and kissed his cheek. "You keep tellin' yourself that, babe."

[grenadesandohana]

Steve, exercised, caffeinated, and showered, was actually starting to relax now.

He dropped his head to rest against Danny's and breathed in his solid, comforting presence.

[hatesparadise]

"You gonna be okay?" Dany asked quietly.
