MCA #0, Monday Evening

[hatesparadise]

Steve lost a bet. Which he didn't often do, so Danny was going to just enjoy the moment. Possibly by taking pictures to share back home.

It was the simple things in life, you know?

But, luckily for Steve, the parameters of the bet were met and he no longer had to wear the suit once he got back from the station.

"Better not have destroyed that tie," Danny muttered to himself, checking the time.

[for the guy!]

Steve had not destroyed the tie, but he had put it in the corner to think about its choices. He had changed into nothing but board shorts despite it being much too cold for nothing but board shorts because it was the principle of the thing.

The principle of what thing? Didn't matter.

[hatesparadise]

"Seriously." STEVE, WHY.

[grenadesandohana]

"It's the anti-suit," Steve said, gesturing.

Even his toes were bare. He'd gone full Hawai'i.

[hatesparadise]

"Did you bring that with you to the office out of spite?" Because it felt spiteful.

[grenadesandohana]

"I always have board shorts at the office."

So...60/40 yes.

[hatesparadise]

"You know, I'd hoped to go out to a fancy place for dinner, but I guess it's delivery pizza instead."

This poor, poor, fancy boy.

[grenadesandohana]

"I only had to wear it to work!"

But if you kept looking like that, he'd put it back on, Danny. Just wait him out.

[hatesparadise]

"A nice steak house on the mainland or something..." Laying it on a little thick there, Williams.

[grenadesandohana]

It was almost working, though. "How nice a steak?"

[hatesparadise]

"A very nice steak," Danny assured him with a grin. Because he was going to get a fancy date out of this, damn it.

Especially if Steve was gonna get a tie-based reward tonight.

[grenadesandohana]

"And potatoes?" Steve checked.

[hatesparadise]

"Of course with potatoes, what kind of place do you think I'm takin' you?"

He had class, Steven!

[grenadesandohana]

"And creamed spinach?" Steve asked.

[hatesparadise]

"Go put your suit back on, you putz," Danny said with a shove. "I'll even request one of those ridiculous gas guzzling trucks for you to drive."

[grenadesandohana]

Steve never said "eeee" but his face kinda said "eee."

"Okay. Give me five."

[hatesparadise]

It was basically an all stops pulled out romantic night out for them, wasn't it?

"Lemme call the rental place."

[grenadesandohana]

Steve would pack his formal grenades!

Steve gave him a grin. "Good plan."

[hatesparadise]

He's what now?

Danny rolled his eyes and leaned in for a kiss before Steve could take off.

[grenadesandohana]

Everyone had some, right?

Steve leaned in and lingered in the kiss. "My favorite part is how you were rolling your eyes at me," he teased.

[hatesparadise]

"Still am, babe," Danny replied, taking advantage of Steve only wearing board shorts by running his hands along his sides.

[grenadesandohana]

"Amazing multitasking, Daniel," Steve teased.

[hatesparadise]

"Steak," Danny reminded him with another distracting kiss. "Then you can tell me in detail what you've been planning for my tie."

[grenadesandohana]

"Tie you to the bed," Steve said promptly. "Oh. That was for later."

[hatesparadise]

"Really?" How had Danny not immediately gone to that conclusion? He looked surprised, but not entirely disapproving.

Which was something for him.

[grenadesandohana]

"Well, the first thought was to stuff it your mouth, but that was years ago," Steve murmured in Danny's ear. "I like the talking now."
