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!]

Comments

"...and you just loved that, didn't you." HE KNEW YOU, STEVE.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve grinned at him. "Maybe a little. Want to go to an escape room or something? I think there's one nearby."

And maybe move right past this bank account thing?

[hatesparadise]

"Uh huh," Danny replied dryly, knowing what he was doing there and contemplating if he wanted to allow it.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve smiled winningly at him.

[hatesparadise]

"You're not allowed to threaten the employees with intensive background checks to solve the puzzles," Danny settled on.

[grenadesandohana]

"You take away all of my fun," Steve told him, pouting.

[hatesparadise]

"They're poor college students, babe," Danny replied. "Save it for the bad guys."

[grenadesandohana]

"I miss running background checks, Danno," Steve said.

[hatesparadise]

"You can always practice with the Naval Academy," Danny suggested.

[grenadesandohana]

"I could," Steve mused. "I think I'm off of their shit list finally after the ship thing last year."

[hatesparadise]

"See? You can traumatized baby sailors instead." Danny, no.

[grenadesandohana]

"I do like doing that," Steve admitted with a grin.

[hatesparadise]

"Get them acclimated for real life."

No, Danny. No.

[grenadesandohana]

"Exactly!" Steve agreed.

They were the worst.

[hatesparadise]

Danny snorted and bumped into Steve's side. "Don't get sued."

[grenadesandohana]

"I'm a superior officer," Steve said with a smirk. "They can't sue me."

Probably.

[hatesparadise]

"Refrain from any lasting damage to be safe," Danny suggested, placing a hand on Steve's chest.

[grenadesandohana]

"Yes, sir," Steve said.

[hatesparadise]

Danny's smile turned a little more fond for a moment. "I'm melting, by the way."

[grenadesandohana]

"For me?" Steve said with a grin. "I knew it."

[hatesparadise]

"You're impossible," Danny said, kissing him anyway. Because it was pretty smooth for Steve at least.

[grenadesandohana]

"Yeah, but it works for me," Steve said with another smile as he pulled away from the kiss.

[hatesparadise]

"Somehow it does, yeah."

You got lucky, McGarrett!

[grenadesandohana]

He was 100 percent resting on pretty. "So. Escape room?" he said. "We can set a record."

[hatesparadise]

"Yeah, yeah. You break something, you're paying for it."

Because they'd either bust down a door or discover a murder there.
