MCA #0, Monday Evening

[hatesparadise]

Well, it was that week again. And sometimes you just had to take advantage of it. Which was why he'd shoved Steve out to pick up enough groceries to get them through the week and maybe a good amount of Gatorade for hydration purposes.

This wasn't their first rodeo, thanks.

Look, when you're mid-aged, you sort of had to latch onto the fun things when they happened. Which was why Danny was doing some agitated reorganizing of the bedroom while he waited for Steve to return.

[for the partner! all that slow play]

Did you know you could buy enough Gatorade powder to make seven liters of the stuff? Because Steve learned that at the store and now he was making it part of your education, Danny.

"I'm back!" he said. "How do you feel about beef jerky?"

Truly the sexiest of the meat in stick form, Steve.

[hatesparadise]

"...What?" Danny shouted from the bedroom. Oh, the romance of marriage.

[grenadesandohana]

"You want some beefy jerky?" Steve bellowed in a voice intended to carry over crashing waves.

Sorry, Rey.

[hatesparadise]

"Why would I want beef jerky?" Danny demanded, still in the bedroom. Because why go find him when Steve needed to come here? For reasons. Dick related reasons.

[grenadesandohana]

"Well, you get mad when I microwave eggs," Steve said. "This was a quicker protein option."

[hatesparadise]

They were saved from MRE's only because it would have been an off island purchase, huh Steve?

"It always smells bad!"

[grenadesandohana]

"Eggs always smell bad!" Steve countered.

This is very sexy, Steven.

[hatesparadise]

Not even sex pollen could stop this ridiculous conversation.

"Poorly cooked eggs smell bad!" Danny shouted back.

[grenadesandohana]

"You'd know," Steve said teasingly.

[hatesparadise]

"Come over here so I can flip you off for that."

And not because there was a bed there. Nooooo.

[grenadesandohana]

"Hold on, let me take off my shirt," Steve said, coming in from the kitchen.

[hatesparadise]

Danny, whose pants were already off, rolled his eyes.

"C'mere."

[grenadesandohana]

Steve let out a low whistle. "Hi there."

[hatesparadise]

"Get over here, sailor," Danny ordered, pulling him onto a kiss.

And was even nice enough to not call him 'soldier' to tease him!

[grenadesandohana]

Steve smiled and kissed him back. "Did you stretch while I was gone?"

Middle aged problems.

[hatesparadise]

"Yes," Danny grumbled. "Still gotta be careful with the knee. You good?"

[grenadesandohana]

"I came home to a man wearing no clothing," Steve said. "I'm amazing."

[hatesparadise]

"You pull a muscle in your groin again, I'm gonna laugh at you."

[grenadesandohana]

"That's fair," Steve admitted, chuckling and leaning in for a long kiss.
