Tougher Than The Rest – Bruce Springsteen ~ Hawaii Five 0, D/K/b
~ Well it's Saturday night/ You're all dressed up in blue/ I been watching you awhile/ Maybe you been watching me too
Neither Danny nor Kono had been much luck in the romance department. Both were too willing to give their hearts to partners who would hurt them. Steve and Chin didn't understand and it became something of a tradition for the two of them to commiserate and share a drink at a local dive.
One night, after a few beers, a song came on the jukebox and Danny had grinned, pulling Kono off of her bar stool and onto the tiny always empty area that was (ostensibly) allocated for dancing. She laughed slightly, but settled into his arms as they swayed to the music, warm and safe together.
It was a nice contrast to the rest of their hectic lives, to work and family drama and heartache.
A moment of peace shared in a grungy bar. Sure, it might not have been for everyone, but it worked for them.
