MCA #0, Sunday Morning

[hatesparadise]

Well, yesterday had been a thing all around. And to say Danny wasn't exactly pleased to get brainwashed into attacked his already injured partner would be an understatement. He was upset enough that glancing at the bandages over his knuckles had him going into the kitchen to make chocolate chip and banana pancakes without any prompting.

Because healthy people expressed themselves via food until the could figure out the right words to say 'I'm sorry I tried to knock your head off because of an evil Rudolph'.

They didn't even make a card for it.

"You're just upset I found the better flavor." False!

[grenadesandohana]

"Booberry is not a flavor," Steve told him.

[hatesparadise]

"Ha ha," Danny said, kicking him gently under the table.

[grenadesandohana]

"More of a Count Chocula guy, personally," Steve continued.

[hatesparadise]

"You were not. I'm almost certain you were a whole wheat kid even back then," Danny shot back with a laugh.

[grenadesandohana]

"There's nothing weird about loving Grape Nuts!"

Steven. Steven.

[hatesparadise]

"Uh huh." Judging you so much, Steve. "No wonder you like my pancakes so much."

[grenadesandohana]

"Maybe," Steve admitted.

[hatesparadise]

Danny snorted and glanced away, trying to settle into the equilibrium of their conversations. "Should I start stockin' up on Grape Nuts for you?"

[grenadesandohana]

"I'm more of an egg white omelet kind of guy these days," Steve said, "but thanks."

[hatesparadise]

"So long as you're not tryin' to convince me that a protein shake is an actual meal..."

[grenadesandohana]

"It can be," Steve argued, "but not every day."

[hatesparadise]

"No, not even then." He had opinions here.

[grenadesandohana]

"Why not then?" Steve asked, kind of desperate for a Danny rant.

[hatesparadise]

"It's not food!" Who was Danny to refuse him that? "It's just goo with veggies added to it."

[grenadesandohana]

"Sometimes I add pineapple," Steve said, just chucking another log onto the fire of rantiness.

[hatesparadise]

Danny didn't disappoint, tossing his hands up in the air and making a noise of disgust. "And don't try to tell me you actually like it. Because that'd be a lie."

[grenadesandohana]

"I love pineapple. It's part of my cultural tradition," Steve said oh-so-piously.

[hatesparadise]

"You are so full of it," Danny said, pointing an accusatory finger in his direction.

[grenadesandohana]

"Are you disparaging the cultural mores of Hawai'i?" Steve asked. "I'll tell Chin and you'll have to sit through a Powerpoint."

[hatesparadise]

"I'll just bribe him with coco puffs and he'll say he did," Danny countered.

[grenadesandohana]

"He would never!"

[hatesparadise]

Danny just raised his eyebrows on a challenging fashion.

[grenadesandohana]

Steve made a face at him in return.

[hatesparadise]

Danny looked smug and just gestured silently at him. Because they could and would have an entire argument via facial expressions.
