Here is the next chapter! I think that Danny's hatred of cats is really just birn out of his love for dogs, but this gives him maybe a little more reasoning.

Also, I forgot to mention it, but that nod to our very own Scott 'Mad Skillz' Caan in 8x01 had me laughing for about ten minutes.

One last thing, has anyone seen the quick bromance clip @plenkov posted on his Insta? It was awesome.

Anyway... enjoy!

By the time Danny had managed to check on Eric and get himself taken care of, it was late in the afternoon. Since Danny's house was still getting worked on, he asked Steve if he could spend one more night at his house. Turned out that Steve's house was now being worked on, so now they both were out of luck.

Danny and Steve were discussing their options over the phone. Right about this time, Kono walked in on Steve's side of the conversation and invited them both to stay at her and Adam's house. Both Danny and Steve instantly protested saying that they could find a hotel, and then Kono scowled at Steve and told him to get himself and Danny over.

So that was how Danny and Steve found themselves both at Kono's door with their luggage in their hands. Both of them frowned at each other as they set their bags down and waited for the door to be answered.

"I feel bad." Danny stated looking at Steve.

"Me too." Steve replied.

Danny turned to Steve. "They have their own family to check on, we should not be sleeping over."

Steve turned to him. "You don't have to argue with me, but I was not about to argue with Kono when she goes all mom on us."

Danny sighed. "That is a smart decision, Steven."

He turned to the door as he heard it open. Adam smiled at them. "Welcome, gentlemen to casa Noshimuri." He said holding the door open and gesturing them in.

Kono greeted them from the kitchen as the three of them walked inside. "Hey guys! Adam will show you to your room while I finish dinner."

Danny and Steve looked at each other with eyes wide. Then they both looked back at Kono. "Uh... are we sharing a room, Kono?" Steve asked hesitantly.

Kono and Adam laughed, and Kono clarified. "Don't worry Steve, there is a bed and a comfy pull out sofa. One of you takes the bed, the other the sofa."

Both Steve and Danny were relieved. "Thank God." Danny said. "Steve kicks in his sleep."

Steve frowned at him and Adam chuckled. "I don't want to know how you know that. Follow me, guys."

A little while later they were all gathered around the Noshimuri table eating a delicious diner Kono had prepared. Turned out, her and Adam had never lost power during the storm. The four of them were talking about this when Danny suddenly jumped back from the table.

"What the hell was that?" He yelled rubbing his leg and standing in a defensive position.

"What?" Steve asked perplexed.

But his question was soon answered as he saw a tiny furry critter come from underneath the table. Steve grinned, Danny frowned, and Kono and Adam looked confused. "That's our cat. His name is Elvis." Kono explained looking between Steve and Danny for some explanation.

"Danny hates cats." Steve explained.

Meanwhile, Danny had sat back down at the table, adjusted his seat, and attempted to make up for his embarrassing outburst.

"I do not hate cats, Steven." He said looking at Adam and Kono who were glaring at him. "I just... don't prefer them to dogs."

Steve looked at him, amazed. "You hate cats." He said.

Danny cleared his throat and nodded his head towards where Adam and Kono were sitting. Danny also may have kicked Steve under the table, signaling for him to shut up.

Kono and Adam had invited him into their home. The worst possible thing he could do would be to start complaining now.

Kono spoke up, "I do recall you saying something about hating cats on a stakeout a,while a go." Kono was now gazing at him threateningly. Danny was not sure if her holding her meat knife in front of her and scraping it with her fork was to help her eat or to make her look intimidating. Either way, it was scaring the crap out of Danny.

Adam saw this, smiled and gestured to Danny, "but you like our cat right Danny?"

Danny grinned, thankful someone was on his side. "Of course. Who wouldn't love a cat named Elvis?" Danny asked chuckling nervously.

He was very thankful that the conversation then drifted off, but Steve was not about to let it go that easily.

When they both lay in Kono's extra room, Danny on the sofa and Steve on the bed, Steve thought that it would be a great time to bring it up again. "So Danno, why do you hate cats?"

Danny sighed as he lifted the cover of the blanket from his face so he could talk to Steve. "I think we have had this conversation before, Steven."

Steve now sat up in his bed. "Come on, Danny. There has got to be a story behind this, like the other ones."

Danny now also sat up. "Well... I mean, I guess there is a story, but let the record show that I hated cats before this particular incident. It just cemented my belief that cats were demons."

"Do tell."

"Well when I was a kid in Jersey we had this neighbor, Mrs. Donatello. Well, she was like, the sweetest old lady, but her cat was certifiable. So she asked me and Matty to cat sit and when we did, the cat bit me on the face, right here." Danny said pointing to a spot between his forehead and hairline.

Steve squinted. "I don't see anything." He said.

"There is nothing to see Steve, since it was over twenty years ago."

"Right but the way that you complain about it, I thought that you maybe were scarred or something. " Steve shrugged.

"No, it was not that bad, but it was traumatizing having a hissing and frightened cat jump up and bite your face." Danny said. "At the time I thought it was going to bite my face off."

"So that is why you don't like cats?"

"Well, that and every other numerous reason that I have told you over the years. Plus I was working a homicide in Jersey and I saw this guy and his whole fact," Danny gestured to his own face with an open hand and then viciously closed it,"eaten by stray cats."

"Yeah but Danny," Steve said," dogs can do the same thing."

Now it was Danny who shrugged. "Eh."

"I still got to admit, Danno. I don't get it."

"Yeah, well you wouldn't. You're Steve McGarrett, lover of all things feline. Now shut up and let me sleep."

Steve grinned. "Night Danno."

All he got was an "Ugh" in response as Danny flipped the blanket back over his eyes and turned around with his back to Steve.

Looking back, Danny thinks that it was the fact that he had just spent a very exhausting day volunteering and that was what made him snap at Steve.

Either way, the two of them found themselves driving back to Danny's house in silence, both fuming at one another.
