The McGarrett Household And On - O'ahu, HI - Sunday Afternoon

So, you could make all the plans you wanted, but the island--no, not the one in the Pacific--would do whatever the hell it wanted. But in this once instance, it all worked out. Probably because there were other people involved.

Which didn't annoy Danny at all.

No, don't be silly. He was just glad to be home--don't anyone tell Steve that he called it that--and able to see his daughter again.

Steve probably ate what Diego and Annie ate when left to their own devices. A lot of protein shakes.

"It's so weird," Diego said. "I thought they'd be, like, next door neighbors at the least."

"But did you catch that Danny has a candy stash at Steve's place?" Annie noted, sneaking a light kiss by his ear. "So, like, they're still them about it."

And honestly Annie thought it was a pretty good idea. She was going to have to find somewhere to store emergency Almond Joys at Diego's place, obviously.

As if Diego would have that abomination of a candy in his home!

He would change his mind about it after the Black Noir thing.

"Best part about staying at Danny's? He kind of has to feed us."

"He's obligated," Annie agreed, gently rubbing a little sunscreen into his neck and carefully getting his ears, like someone who cared about your skin for you, Diego, before shifting around to sit back on her towel. "Do you think they flipped a coin or whatever, or that Danny chose us 'cause you're his favorite?"

Favorite.

"More like you're his favorite," Diego said, turning to lay on his stomach now that his back was all protected. "I'm just benefitting from it."

"I don't know, I've never decorated his desk for him," Annie pointed out, smiling as she put her gigantic hat back on. "Or helped with desk security."

She was awfully good at spin, though.

"Is that what we're calling it?" he asked. "I think he would disagree."

"Probably, but I'm a lot more positive than either of you," Annie decided, stretching out on her stomach beside him and angling out her phone in a way that was probably pretty familiar. "Say 'Aloha.'"

Or, like, don't, but she would at least insist on a smile.

He did not, but he did at least smile for the selfie. "You sure your phone has enough space for all these pictures you're going to take?"

"I'll delete some apps if I have to, but also there's the cloud," Annie told him helpfully, setting her phone down and moving her hat out of the way so she could lean over for a kiss. "I just want to remember everything."

"This is nice. I never really got the whole vacation thing before--" Namely because it had been instilled in him to work constantly since birth. "--but I like this."

"Thought you might. And this is just the first day," Annie pointed out, sighing happily as she rested her cheek on her crossed arms. "We're not going to want to go home."

Home, where it was probably currently snowing or raining or a terrible combination of the two.

"I wouldn't go that far," Diego said. "I would miss my bed eventually."

"I like your bed, but I don't know if I like it more than Hawaii," Annie teased. "There are other beds. Hawaiian beds."

"Yeah, well, currently the Hawaiian bed we do have is going to be in Danny's house." Which was just so weird to him. "So that automatically makes my bed better."

"Remember, we're creative," Annie murmured, nudging one of her feet into one of his. At least it was just Danny, who Annie trusted to pretend he heard nothing at all, ever, from their room. "Another important part of vacation is sleeping in, by the way. Like, I don't know about you, but I'm not getting up at six to go out and train tomorrow."

She was pretty sure she could provide a compelling (read: cuddly) argument in the moment if he was determined to go, anyway.

"That's okay, I'm sure Steve will go for a run with me." Look, it was a habit!

But yeah he probably could be easily convinced to stay in bed.

"You can run at home," Annie pointed out, "but vacation is finite. Do you really think you'll look back on this trip and think, 'Man, I really wish I hadn't done all that nice relaxing with Annie and instead had run more'?"

Annie did not allow herself many breaks, but vacation in Hawaii seemed like a fine enough opportunity to make such an allowance.

"I can do both," he assured her. "I like working out."
