McDanno - Camp 5O

Chapter 17

"Two. What? One. We're out." Steve and Danny's voices died out as the screen with their faces went to white and the camp erupted into claps and whistles.

Kono walked up to the stage and stood in front of the white backdrop.

"I think that is definitely my favorite piece of advertising we have done at this camp." She stated with a serious expression. Many of the camp counselors cheered in agreement.

"Let's give another round of applause to Danny and Steve everybody." Chin shouted from the foot of the stage.

Danny nodded politely as people turned back to face him and once again started clapping and cheering. Steve's smile was that of a five year olds who just conned his parents into giving him cake for dinner. He nodded in welcome and understanding.

"I really think we hit it big." Steve whispered into Danny's ear.

"You're a schmuck." Danny answered rolling his eyes, yet unable to hold in the fond smile he ended up giving Steve.

"No, I'm not kidding! I had five different officers come up and ask me about camp. And I'm pretty sure at least two of them were being serious." Danny said as he watched a bird dip down towards the ocean, swooping up last second to glide barely an inch above the water.

"See I told you! We did great on that commercial." Steve smiled.

"Hey look, dolphins." Danny said nodding to the ocean.

"Can't believe you made me run five miles. I ran soo much at work." Danny said a little while later.

"Aw, I'm keeping you in shape Danno." Steve smirked.

"What are you implying Steven?" Danny said, or at least that's what he wanted to say but he ended up just giving Steve a tight smile, he was too tired to do anything else.

"C'mere." Steve said, softly pulling Danny's arm towards him. Danny readily complied, letting his upper body follow suit, swinging his feet up onto the ledge, and resting his head on Steve's lap.

"Don't let fall me off the cliff." Danny warned Steve with as much energy as he could muster.

"I've got you." Steve assured him as he rested a firm arm on Danny's waist. Danny placed his arm atop Steve's and interlaced their fingers.

"You two are doing Thanksgiving with us right?" Steve asked quietly, knowing that Halloween had only just happened but wanting to make sure anyways.

"Mmhmm." Danny hummed, his eyes feeling heavier and heavier. He forced them open long enough to watch the sunset with Steve.

** A few weeks later **

"I told you we needed to buy an extra placemat!" Danny said as he set the fifth plate. "We only have five, we're short one."

Steve turned away from the stove to look at Danny, "no we're not," he said as he moved to a drawer and pulled out a laminated hand drawn placemat.

"Guess who's this is going to be?" Steve smirked as he wiggled it and his eyebrows.

"Gracie's food pyramid." Danny acknowledged with a faux delighted smile. The two men stared at each other in contest as Danny grabbed it from Steve's grip.

"Oh no yeah, don't worry about it, I'll get the ringing doorbell, you two just keep staring at eachother." Mary said as she came out of her old room/Gracie's unofficially official room, Gracie was close behind her.

"Loving those french braids!" Steve called out to her, noting the two perfect braids running vertically along her head. He knew Grace had been practicing hard on her barbies and, at more than one point, had given it her best at braiding clumps of Steve's hair.

Mary did a model turn to show off her hair before going to open the door. Grace beamed with pride and gave Steve and Danny a quick smile before racing after Mary to open the door, Steve and Danny met her gaze with big thumbs up and proud smiles.

"Hi! You must be Rachel and Stan!" Mary greeted the couple holding trays of food.

"Yes, hello. You must be Mary!" Rachel greeted with a smile.

"Yes! Steve's younger sister and currently the model of these amazing french braids done by the talented Miss Gracie!" Mary said, once again showing off the braids. Grace giggled beside her.
