Steve, you are ridiculous...

[zinnith]

I assume (heh, ass-ume... Shut up, it's early, okay?) you've all seen the butt-hugging climbing harness pics from 1x20 already, but I must admit that the one that really tickled my brain was this one.

So, more on the subject of 'what the hell is he doing?' Most interesting theory wins a drabble!

I have no idea! LOL But I love the way he's doing it so intently - that adorable think-y face! - & the way that Danny is totally going 'WTF, Steve? Stop poking the damn fish!'. *g*

[zinfic.livejournal.com]

More specifically: "Stop poking the damn fish and poke me instead! No, not with the chopsticks, are you simple?" :D

Plus, I love the expressions of the staff. "Who is this strange, fish-poking man and what is he doing in our kitchen?"

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Poor Danny. Subtle so doesn't work with Steve... *g*

[zinfic.livejournal.com]

Danny is probably going to have to explain exactly how and with what he wants to be poked. Steve will have to make notes...

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

But Steve is a very fast learner, so it won't take long until Danny entirely runs out of words & is reduced to moans & variations of 'Oh, fuck, Steeeeeeevvvvve...'.
*g*

I like the sound of that! *g* I'm pretty sure Steve does too...

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Heh. Me, three! ;)

I think it's like that fairy tale/myth about the person losing a ring and then finding it in a fish. I this case Steve's lost the class ring Danny gave him and while invesitgating a case he thinks he's spotted it in the fish. Danny thinks he's mad but fairytales made a big impression on Steve as a kid.

[zinfic.livejournal.com]

Haha! I like that one *g*

Possibly Steve lost it while doing something crazy in the ocean and now he has to search every fish in Hawaii until he finds the ring again. It's a sacred quest!

[anyanka-eg.livejournal.com]

Ha ha, yes. And he would. He'd get Chin to build him a metal detector so he could check live fish in the ocean.

[zinfic.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! He'd be swimming around, chasing after every little fishie he could see! Meanwhile, on the shore, Danny is stomping around, going, "Oh, for chrissakes, McGarrett, it's not the end of the world! It's not like it was an engagement ring or anything!" (Because the engagement ring is still resting in its little box in Danny's pocket and he's just waiting for Steve to get a clue and come out of the water already so he can present it to his boyfriend.)

[anyanka-eg.livejournal.com]

Poor Danny, losing out to the fish. He'll be forced to do something really drastic to get Steve's attention.

[zinfic.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. So he takes off shoes and socks and rolls up his pant legs and wades out into the water, shouting and waving his arms for Steve to come back, only Steve has his head under the surface and can't hear him. And then Danny steps on a flounder or something and loses his balance and falls into the water with a big wet splash. And that's when Steve finally notices and comes to the conclusion that maybe he should forget about the fish and save his boyfriend from drowning instead.

But when he gets there, Danny has already kind of saved himself and is standing in the knee-deep water, spitting mad and ranting about the lethal fauna of Hawaii, and he's completely soaked, his white dress shirt wet and transparent and there are droplets of water in his eyelashes and Steve's mouth gets a little dry and his heart starts doing that jumpy thing that he doesn't quite know how to interpret.

And Danny sees that he finally has Steve's full attention, so he takes out the little velvet box and says, "Hey babe, here's something to replace that old thing."

And then there is kissing and there might also be a beautiful picturesque Hawaiian sunset and possibly fireworks, the end.

Then of course, they're celebrating in a fancy restaurant and Steve orders a fish. When the chef is preparing it he finds the ring inside. Knowing that Steve's been looking for a ring (he's been in every kitchen on the island) the chef cooks the fish and then sends the plate out with the ring on top.

[zinfic.livejournal.com]

Yes! Perfect! :D

[sgamadison.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's that Japanese fish that kills you if not prepared properly? And look, it's one of the Iron Chefs!

[zinfic.livejournal.com]

Haha, yes of course. And naturally, Steve just happens to know how to prepare fugu because he's just that awesome *g*

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Interrupts to squee all over your icon!!!!!!

Thanks! *g* I'm no you or anything, but it just begged to be made... feel free to use it if you want!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I'm no you or anything
LOL I wouldn't wish that on anyone! *g*

LOL I wouldn't wish that on anyone! *g*

Obviously this is from the AU where Steve is the much feared food critic and Danny the renowned restaurant owner. Cue banter and sexy times!

[zinfic.livejournal.com]

I like the thought of that! Steve practically all day at the restaurant and Danny's like, "You know that most food critics don't usually come out into the kitchen to poke the damn fish before it's cooked, right? What the hell is your problem?"

And Steve does his very best blank!face and patiently explains that he's very thorough.

(Really, the only reason he did it was so that he'd get to spend a little more time around that hot short guy with the amazing ass.)

[ladyoflisquill.livejournal.com]

And of course, Danny keeps getting mistaken for a waiter in his own goddamed restaurant! :D

[zinfic.livejournal.com]

It makes him all red in the face, so angry that he can barely form words so all he can do is stand there and sputter and wave his hands and then he has to run and hide in the kitchen until he's calmed down because he's found that yelling at customers is very bad for business.

And Steve is in there, poking around in the pantry (seriously, Danny's not even going to ask anymore, it's like he's acquired his very own very nosy stalker or something). And Steve notices how very upset Danny is, so he puts his hand on his back, right between his shoulderblads, his palm big and warm and soothing, and Danny finds to his great surprise that he's relaxing, just like that.
