MCA #0, Sunday Afternoon

[hatesparadise]

Danny had done a perfectly normal, reasonable thing for a coworker and friend and purchased that new X-Box thing for Steve's Christmas gift. And now he was being dragged into playing a game with him.

It wasn't going terrible well for him.

"I don't understand the controller," he grumbled. "Arcade games were better, you know."

That was loser talk there.

[For the housemate!]

"Think you set your controller down funny," Danny said, breaking into the pizza immediately

[grenadesandohana]

Steve made a face at him. "Yeah, okay."

[hatesparadise]

Danny's innocent face was about as good as Steve's was. Or maybe it was just that both of them knew each other too well for it to work.

[grenadesandohana]

"Cheater," Steve huffed, sitting down on the sofa and trying to distract Danny as he did so.

[hatesparadise]

Danny rolled his eyes and made sure the pizza was in a location that would be easier for Steve to grab with his arm still messed up. Which turned into trying to elbow Steve for being a little shit. "I'd never cheat."

[grenadesandohana]

Steve missed being able to throw Danny into a headlock right now so much. Stupid regular human healing.

"Since when?" he asked.

[hatesparadise]

He wasn't allowed to get super powers. Danny would have a nervous breakdown.

"Since always."

[grenadesandohana]

"There's no way you're that good a poker player," Steve complained.

[hatesparadise]

"Beat your ass, didn't I?" Danny wasn't allowed to gamble in Vegas because he'd get into trouble with the same skills he passed onto Grace.

Also because reasons.

[grenadesandohana]

The guy with the thing and the Chinese circus performer? And Don Cheadle, maybe?

"That's why you have to be cheating."

Obviously, Danny.

[hatesparadise]

THEY DIDN'T TALK ABOUT THAT.

"Oh, just because I beat you, I'm cheating."

[grenadesandohana]

"Seems like a pretty reasonable assumption."

STEVEN.

[hatesparadise]

"Oh, is that you asking for a rematch?" So he could beat him again.

[grenadesandohana]

"After I finish kicking your ass here, sure," Steve said.

[hatesparadise]

"Deal," Danny shot back, nudging his knee into Steve's as he took a sip of his beer.

[grenadesandohana]

"Shouldn't take too much longer after I un-die from this cliff," he said, shooting Danny a dry look.

[hatesparadise]

"Technology," Danny replied, ignoring the look with a smirk. "It's tricky."

[grenadesandohana]

"More when someone's losing," Steve commented.

[hatesparadise]

"I have no idea what you mean." They had a unique relationship, you see.

[grenadesandohana]

"Sure you don't," Steve said, kicking his ankle gently.

[hatesparadise]

"Don't distract me, you cheater," Danny said, doing the exact same thing back.

[grenadesandohana]

"You started it," Steve said, sitting on Danny to block his view.

[hatesparadise]

"You are such a brat!" He couldn't even shove Steve like normal because he was still recovering. Uuuugh.

[grenadesandohana]

"You're just jealous of my skills," Steve said, trying to complete the level.

[hatesparadise]

"Oh yeah, your skills at acting like a toddler," he grumbled, squirming out from under Steve. "Move. You're cutting off circulation in my legs."
