For some unknown reason, Danny was hyper. He was literally bouncing where he stood.
"Danny would you stop jumping around?" Mac asked when Danny hopped his way across the living room.
Apparently Danny was in a strange mood, especially when he rattled off, "Battle me, that's a sin!"
"Danny, you need to calm down before you hurt yourself more," Don said.
Mac and Don were sitting at the kitchen table working on their taxes since they actually had some free time to do so.
Danny flopped down on the couch with a pout firmly in place.
Without even looking, since he was facing the opposite direction, Mac said, "Get that lip back in before I pull it off!"
"How do you do that?" Danny and Don asked simultaneously.
"I'm older and more responsible than you, it comes built in," Mac answered.
Don and Danny just looked at him skeptically.
"Ok, I don't know how I do it, I just do," Mac caved.
All three of them laughed. It was just more proof of how well they worked together.
Once they'd all calmed down Mac and Don got back to work and Danny turned on the TV. House would be coming on soon anyway. He could entertain himself until bed time. He had to take his meds at 10 if he wanted to be able to get up in the morning.
Soon enough House was ending and Danny got up to go to bed. Mac and Don waved from the table, wanting to get more done before they went to bed.
When Mac and Don finally got to the bedroom they smiled at the sight of Danny curled up in the middle of the bed, sound asleep.
