McGarrett House, Honolulu, HI - Friday

[hatesparadise]

Yesterday was Steve's first holiday with the extended Williams clan in New Jersey and the only reason he wasn't dead was probably because Charlie was also there to split the attention of everyone. At least that was Danny's assumption.

But they were back in Hawaii now and the kids back with Rachel. Well. Charlie was. Grace had immediately run off to spend the day with her friends at a mall somewhere.

"You good, babe? Need a hand?"

He was just being a jerk to poor, traumatized Steve.

[for the guy!]

Danny sighed and rolled his eyes. "Fine. Congee. But we're also getting teriyaki beef."

[grenadesandohana]

"I don't need teri beef, but you can have it," Steve said magnanimously.

[hatesparadise]

"Oh, thank you," he shot back dryly.

[grenadesandohana]

"You're very welcome," Steve said sunnily, winking.

[hatesparadise]

"Get the towels," Danny grumbled. They'd need them once they were out of the water.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve leaned in for a quick kiss. "Yes, dear."

[hatesparadise]

"Yeah, yeah," he murmured, kissing him back.

[grenadesandohana]

"It's good to be home," Steve murmured. In the quiet with just the waves for company.

[hatesparadise]

"Not surrounded by a million family members?" Danny teased.

[grenadesandohana]

"There were a lot," Steve admitted, smiling a little shyly.

[hatesparadise]

"We really don't need to go that often," Danny assured him. "Plus you'll be old news soon enough."

[grenadesandohana]

"That's very reassuring," Steve said with a teasing grin. "I won't get pinched as much the next time?"

[hatesparadise]

"Can't promise you that one, babe," Danny had to admit.

[grenadesandohana]

"Will they keep pinching all my cheeks?" Steve asked.

[hatesparadise]

"I can yell at them for harassing my husband," Danny promised. Then got weird, goofy grin at that.

[grenadesandohana]

And that smile made Steve grin like a goof, too. "Will you?"

[hatesparadise]

"Sure will." God, you two were gross.

[grenadesandohana]

"Will they listen?" Steve asked.

[hatesparadise]

"I'll make sure they do," Danny promised.

[grenadesandohana]

"My hero," Steve teased softly, cupping Danny's face between his hands and leaning in for a kiss.

[hatesparadise]

"You're not talking me out of teri beef," Danny murmured into that kiss.

[grenadesandohana]

"I don't want to talk you out of teri beef," Steve said, kissing him again.

[hatesparadise]

"Good," Danny said, tugging on Steve's shirt. They were going to end up shamelessly making out on the lanai at this rate.

[grenadesandohana]

That was 100 percent happening. Steve hummed happily and pulled Danny in even closer. "No one's interrupting us right now."

[hatesparadise]

"No rickety beds," Danny added.
