MCA #0, Friday Evening

[hatesparadise]

Steve wasn't an otter anymore, but that didn't stop Danny from ordering him a specialty seafood pizza. Because it was how they expressed their love an affection for each other through constant bickering and teasing.

That and it actually kind of sounded good.

No one back in Jersey could know he did this. No one.

"Back with the pizzas, babe," Danny called once he was through the door.

Steve glanced up from where he was cleaning the kitchen from top to bottom (look, he'd been an otter. Some things had not been scrubbed to his standards.) and grinned. "Those smell good."

[hatesparadise]

"Got you one special." Danny, don't grin like that. It was unbecoming.

[grenadesandohana]

"I've known you long enough to not trust that look in your eyes," Steve said.

[hatesparadise]

"What look? There's no look." There was for sure a look.

[grenadesandohana]

"There's a look," Steve insisted, stealing a kiss.

[hatesparadise]

"Liar," Danny murmured, kissing him back. Because it was very nice to have a partner who wasn't an otter anymore.

[grenadesandohana]

"You have a look and a tone," Steve said, kissing him again.

[hatesparadise]

"So do you," Danny replied, laughing into that kiss.

[grenadesandohana]

"I'm not using either of them right now," Steve said.

[hatesparadise]

Danny kissed him one more time. "Grab a slice. I'll get use the beers."

[grenadesandohana]

Steve opened the first box. "Daniel, love of my life, why does this pizza smell like seafood?"

[hatesparadise]

"To help you recover," he replied with a grin.

[grenadesandohana]

"I hate you so, so much," Steve said, shaking his head.

[hatesparadise]

"You love me," Danny said, bumping his hip into Steve's. "And it... didn't look terrible."

The highest praise possible.

[grenadesandohana]

"You're gonna eat this with me?" Steve asked, surprised. "I thought I was getting punished for being an otter."

[hatesparadise]

"I'll try it," Danny replied. "Don't look so shocked. I branch out."

When Steve made him.

[grenadesandohana]

"Not normally without me asking you to," Steve said, looking a little touched despite himself. "Thank you, man."

[hatesparadise]

"Try it before you thank me. Maybe it's awful," Danny replied, obviously pleased with that kind of reaction.

[grenadesandohana]

"Oh, so I'm still going first in trying it?" Steve teased.

[hatesparadise]

"Yes. Yes, you are."

And he loved you for it!

[grenadesandohana]

"Suuuch a pain in my ass," Steve said, stealing another kiss.

[hatesparadise]

"You wouldn't have it any other way, babe," Danny replied. And, honestly, neither would Danny.

[grenadesandohana]

"I really wouldn't," Steve admitted, smiling. "I like you as a pain in my ass."

[hatesparadise]

"Damn right," Danny replied, offering him a beer and a kiss.

[grenadesandohana]

"Missed you too," Steve murmured, pulling back.
