Doki Toki Dessert Shop - Gaithersburg, MD - Thursday Afternoon

[hatesparadise]

It was hot out. And it wasn't the Hawaii hot, it was the kind of hot that Danny had definitely willfully forgotten about back in New Jersey.

Which was why he was more than willing to let Steve talk him into traveling way too far to get ice cream on the mainland as a sort of date night. While trying desperately to not melt the entire time.

"I can't believe I'm saying that I miss the summer in Hawaii," he grumbled as they got to the shop.

[for the guy!]

"I'm watching you try right now," Steve said, lifting the glass above Danny's head like a very mature adult.

[hatesparadise]

Danny dug his fingers into Steve's unprotected sides for that. Because this was their love. This right here.

[grenadesandohana]

"Did you learn that move from Charlie?" Steve yelped, wriggling out of the way. "Are you four?"

[hatesparadise]

"Bold statement from someone acting like a four year old," Danny countered, giving chase.

You are in public, guys.

[grenadesandohana]

"I'm at least 10, thank you," Steve said.

[hatesparadise]

"Is that a SEAL thing?" Danny asked, offering a quick apology to someone as he chased after Steve.

[grenadesandohana]

"Yes," Steve decided arbitrarily.

[hatesparadise]

"Sit down, you giraffe," Danny ordered like Steve would listen at all.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve took an obnoxiously loud slurp from the drink.

[hatesparadise]

"I will abandon you here and go find air conditioning for just me," Danny replied.

[grenadesandohana]

"I have the keys to the truck so you can't use that," Steve countered.

[hatesparadise]

"I can get a taxi. Or one of those ubers." Look at him knowing a thing!

[grenadesandohana]

"You're not taking an Uber," Steve said, snorting and handing over the drink. "Take a sip and stop being a baby."

[hatesparadise]

"Thank you," Danny said, taking a sip. "I'm buying me one."

Because it was damn good.

[grenadesandohana]

"Told you it would be worth coming all the way out here," Steve said with a pleased smirk.

[hatesparadise]

"You got lucky." Or Steve was good at recon. One of those two.

[grenadesandohana]

"Or I'm an intel officer who knows how to research," Steve offered.

[hatesparadise]

"And your naval skills translate to desserts?"

[grenadesandohana]

"Of course they do," Steve said.

[hatesparadise]

Danny snorted and reached for Steve's wallet. Like a little shit.

[grenadesandohana]

"It's a joint account, Daniel," Steve said.

[hatesparadise]

Danny paused for a moment like he hadn't heard Steve the first time. "What?"

[grenadesandohana]

"I told you about that."

Hadn't he? Maybe Danny had been a cat.

[hatesparadise]

"No, you most certainly didn't tell me that," Danny replied. "Did you close my account while I was a cat, Steven?"

[grenadesandohana]

"Not so much closed as moved," Steve said. "The money's still there!"

Next to Steve's money!
