Kayla sat with Gracie on the living room floor, a half-eaten pizza separating them and surrounded by nail polish and hair accessories. Danny walked into the room stopping just short of the two girls.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's this?"
"What's what, Danno?" Gracie asked innocently.
He bent down to pick up a bottle of nail polish and a glittery hair tie. "This."
"Danny, I knew you were a little slow and all, but you had two sisters growing up and you picked up NOTHING?"
"You think you're smart don't you? I mean why is this," he shook the bottle of nail polish closer to Kayla's face, "garbage scattered all over my living room floor?"
She snatched the bottle from his hands, "That's not garbage Danno, that's the starting of a fantastic sleepover."
"Oh, so we're going to do hair and paint nails? Perfect. Just perfect."
"We won't paint your nails if you don't want us to Danno."
He bent down in front of his daughter, "Why thank you monkey." He kissed the top of her head and glared over at his sister.
"Hey, don't glare at me!"
"You're corrupting my innocent little monkey."
"I think Rachel started that a while ago, half of this is hers."
He looked around at all of it it sadly, and when he looked back up, Kayla was sticking her tongue out at him.
"I'm glad to see that old habits really do die hard."
"And I'm glad to see that your hair never gets any smaller."
"Oh, with the hair jokes? Well you-" He was cut off by a knock on the door.
Gracie popped up off the floor. "Is that uncle Steve?"
Danny pointed at Kayla, "You're lucky squirt."
Grace beat Danny to the door and when he turned around he saw Steve walking through the front door.
"Danno, uncle Steve's here!"
"Uncle Steve!" He clapped once, "Welcome to my humble abode, turned beauty parlor." He gestured to the nail polish and hair accessories on the floor.
"Well this looks fun." He spotted the pizza sitting on the floor beside Kayla. "What, you guys started without me?"
Kayla chuckled, "No, there's a manly pizza in the kitchen for Danno and uncle Steve. We figured you didn't want the girly cheese pizza."
He smirked at Kayla. "Aren't you girls considerate?"
Kayla pulled Grace over to her and hugged her from behind, bringing her face down beside Grace's. "Of course we are, look at these faces!"
Both girls smiled innocent, cute smiles as Danny snorted. "Ha. Two biggest trouble makers I know!"
Kayla smirked as she and Grace went back to their previous activities as Steve followed Danny into the kitchen.
"You sure it's cool if I'm here, brah?"
Danny turned to look at Steve as he was opening the pizza box. "As long as you do not call me 'brah' for the rest of this evening, yes, it's cool."
"Alright, I think I can handle that."
Danny was walking around the kitchen grabbing napkins and drinks so the boys could go join the girls in the living room, he stopped setting the beers down on the counter. "I know that I overreacted about the whole you and my sister thing the other day, but I won't attack you every time you're around her."
"That's good to hear, I don't always have to have my guard up."
"Just don't hurt my squirt and we won't have any problems."
"I'm not going hurt her." He picked up one of the beers, "I don't even know what's going on with us right now."
"That's not exactly what brother's like to hear, you know."
Steve smirked at him slightly as they both made their way into the living room. Steve took his place on the couch, strategically placing himself behind where Kayla sat on the floor. When Kayla noticed, she turned and gave him a small smirk, turning her attention back to Gracie's nails. Danny took the spot on the other end of the couch, but didn't let the little glance between his partner and his sister go unnoticed.
"From the tone of that look, you better figure out what's going on." Danny whispered as he leaned across the couch subtly towards Steve.
Four hours later the second movie they had watched was over.
"So, what do we watch-" Danny was cut off by Steve shushing him. He looked over at Steve in confusion, but found him pointing at the two girls who had fallen asleep on each other under the blanket on the floor.
"I don't think they'd be very friendly if you woke them up right now."
Danny chuckled to himself. "You have no idea, Steven. No idea." Looking over at the clock, he yawned and looked down at the girls again. "We should probably just leave them here, safest bet for all involved." Steve stood, nodding in agreement with Danny. "Well, since I don't think that you want to share a bed with me, and I don't think that you're going to want to sleep on the couch, you can take Kayla's bed for the night." Danny started to walk down the hall, showing Steve where it was, but he stopped and turned to look at Steve. "As long as there'll be no funny business in there, weird rituals to make her fall in love with you, any of that."
Steve cocked his eyebrow at Danny. "What do you think of me, Danny? You've worked with me for how long and you still peg me as the voodoo spell kinda guy?"
Danny held up his hands in defense. "I donno, Steven. I'm just saying!"
"Yeah, yeah. Baby sister and all, I get it. I'm just messing with you. But I promise no voodoo if that makes you feel any better."
"It does, thank you." Danny kept walking down the hall and pointed to the last room on the left. "That's hers, bathrooms right across the hall, you know where everything else is."
"Thanks, Danno."
A couple hours later, Kayla woke up looking around. She saw Grace sleeping beside her and smiled to herself noticing how much she looked like Danny when he was a kid. Sitting up, she noticed that Danny and Steve were nowhere to be found. Getting up she wandered down the hall glancing in Danny's room seeing him asleep. Curious, she traveled the few steps more and peered into her room. Steve was asleep in her bed. She smirked to herself and peeked back into Danny's room before heading into hers.
With Steve sleeping on his stomach, it made it easier for her to devise her plan to wake him up. Standing beside his side of the bed, she started massaging his shoulders as she gently got onto the bed, straddling his legs. She felt Steve twitch under her and smirked to herself, leaning to kiss his neck.
He let out a small moan and she chuckled. "I thought you were supposed to be having a sleepover with Gracie."
"And Gracie invited uncle Steve, it would be rude not to include all guests." She smirked, moving her legs slightly so Steve could flip over.
"What a gracious hostess." His husky voice was almost getting to be too much for her.
"I do what I can." She smirked as she leaned down, kissing him. He pulled her down closer to him and deepened the kiss.
Breaking away he smirked as he looked up at her. "I've wanted to do that all night."
"Oh really? Cause I've wanted to do a little more," she tugged at the hem of his pajama pants, "ever since you got into these. They define all the right assets." She tugged a little more on each of the last words she said. She leaned down to kiss him again, but this one was more intense than the last time. But this time, she pulled herself away and rolled off of him. She curled herself into his side and sighed looking up at him. "It kinda sucks Gracie and Danny are here."
Steve groaned when she rolled off of him, but moved so his arm was around her instead. "I agree 100%, beautiful. Which is why we'll have to arrange that sleepover of our own very soon."
"That sounds fantastic." Kayla said through a stifled yawn as Steve pulled her closer. "I should probably go back out there. If I fall asleep here Danny's likely to shoot you." She leaned up and kissed him again, Steve hanging on as long as he could keep her there. When she finally managed to pull away, she chuckled slightly. "Night." She quickly hopped out of the bed before he could grab her again.
"Night beautiful."
She headed back out to the living room smiling to herself at Steve's little nickname for her. She laid back down beside Gracie, looking up at the ceiling wondering to herself what exactly she was getting herself into with Steve McGarrett.
