Senior Year in Pineapple Hell

by Shinsei Tonbo

An After Holiday Prompt Fest story for the stevedannoslash community. High school AU. There was so much I wanted to do that I will add bits and pieces over time. Snippets into the story extrapolating on what I already have and after.

6. Daddy and Danno

Three year old Grace didn't know a whole lot about life, except that Danno was Danno and he'd always be there.

Daddy was only one who left all the time.

She knew that Daddy made Danno mad and sad, that he hurt him.

So while she was playing with Auntie Mary and Auntie Kono, she saw Daddy standing next to Papa Jack she couldn't help but wonder why he was there.

Daddy was never there, why was he there now?

But then she saw Danno and Steve talking to them and she could see the hurt on Danno's face turn into something . . . she didn't know.

But then they shook hands and it was the first time she had ever seen them touch. Daddy had never hugged or played with Danno's hair like Danno did hers, he had never even patted him on the back.

It made her grin and start playing with her Aunties some more.

This was the best birthday she'd ever had, she had all of her family there with her, that's what made it the best.
