[Homeplot - Kono]

Danny is not having the best fucking morning. First of all, his knee hurts. It hurts worse than it has hurt since the first minute of injury when he'd twisted it and the ACL just tore. Second of all, his back hurts. And it's no surprise given that he wakes up on his shitty pull-out bed.

Then he realizes: shitty pull-out bed and actually experiences a moment of sheer glee. He is home, he is back. And then he gets right back to being pissy because he just got happy about Hawaii.

He fumbles for his cell phone and habit tells him to call Steve.

He calls Kono instead, willing her to pick-up. "Hey," he greets, when she does. "I know it's crazy early, but you feel like shave-ice on the beach? And yes, it really is Danny. Danny Williams, I just, I could use a friendly face right now." Just to make sure he's not insane.

[Homeplot - Steve]

There is one giddy thing about being home. Two, actually. One, he got to call Gracie and hear her voice, promise her that he'd be there as soon as school was out. And two, he has his pain meds. He's been sitting on the beach since Kono left him, toying with his phone and well-aware that he needs to talk to Steve.

Steve might not remember a damn thing. And then Danny will be right back to square one and he hates square one. Square one is frustrating and annoying.

In the end, he sucks it up and gets out the phone, flipping it sideways to write: GOOD MORNING, BABE before sending it to Steve, and that's all. He tucks the phone away and just waits for his fate.
