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!]

"Oh yeah, Mary has mentioned." Oh no. Danny getting along with your sister was a bad choice.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve paused in kissing Danny's neck. "...she has?"

Oh no.

[hatesparadise]

"Uh huh." That was an ominous thing for just two sounds.

[grenadesandohana]

"Well," Steve said after a long pause. "Mary exaggerates."

[hatesparadise]

"Oh, does she?" Danny asked, tugging on Steve's shirt playfully.

[grenadesandohana]

"A lot," Steve said with a nod, then shrugged out of his shirt like the secret nudist Danny accused him of being.

[hatesparadise]

Danny laughed and ran his fingers over the now exposed ink. Because he was predictable like that, okay? He was predictable.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve grinned. "I can go back and add more," he said, "since you like it so much."

[hatesparadise]

"Don't think this gets me out of making fun of your supposed game," Danny said, scratching a nail along some of the more colorful ink.

[grenadesandohana]

"I had game!" Steve protested, shivering slight where Danny's fingers passed. "For 16, I did."

[hatesparadise]

"Uh huh," Danny replied, laughing quietly as he leaned in to suck a mark, hidden in there. Because, hey, he could and no one would notice even if Steve whipped his shirt off again.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve moaned softly. "Have I told you how much I love when you sneak a mark in there?"

[hatesparadise]

"Good to hear," Danny said, definitely sounding smug as he nipped a little harder. "I'll be sure to do it more often."

A real hardship for Danny.

[grenadesandohana]

"I will never stop you," Steve said, closing his eyes and concentrating on how good that felt.

[hatesparadise]

"Well then... maybe I'll encourage another tattoo next time you hang out with your navy buddies," he teased, blowing over the spot he'd been working on.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve chuckled. "Where would you want it?"

[hatesparadise]

"I dunno... lower down," Danny murmured.

[grenadesandohana]

"Maybe somewhere only you'd see it?" Steve replied, smiling.

He knew Danny had a possessive streak too.

[hatesparadise]

"I wouldn't be opposed to that."

So, yes. Emphatically yes.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve chuckled softly. "I'm not tattooing 'property of Danny Williams' anywhere, though," he teased.

[hatesparadise]

"Already did," Danny replied, tapping on Steve's ring finger.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve smiled. "Guess that's true," he said with another smile. "But in a classy way."

[hatesparadise]

"Why thank you for thinking that." They didn't get names tattooed, ergo... classy. Sure.

[grenadesandohana]

"You disagree?" Steve asked, tugging at Danny's shirt.

[hatesparadise]

"No, no. But some folks might." Wrong folks.
