let's be honest, I've never met a cliche I didn't like
Because there is no such thing as too much of a good thing, especially if you live in paradise:

Fake boyfriends, accidental marriages, and amnesia, OH MY!

Chin pulls open a search on his phone and started looking through myths and legends, and as much as Danny wanted to protest that this in no way counted as research, he found that it was the only thing that even made sense. That didn’t keep him from griping, “What, so we stick a pea under him, and if he feels it, than he turns back into a real boy?”
Kono blinks and shakes her head. “That’s-never mind. Let’s stick to things more closely related to our problem, first, okay?”
“Okay, sleeping curses. What do we do for those?” Danny claps his hands together, and can’t believe the words coming out of his mouth.
Chin shrugs. “Well, I would say it sounds like we’re dealing with an island spirit, but I don’t know any legends that fit this description. And there is nothing about appearing out of coconuts. The only thing I could think of would be the work of Kupua?”
“Great, and what does that tell us?” Danny asks.
The slump of Chin’s shoulder doesn’t look promising. “Sorry, brah, I don’t think we’re going to find anything helpful through this.”
Danny makes a frustrated sound and tries to think of something, anything that could fix this mess. A hand comes to rest on his shoulder.
“Maybe he’ll wake up on his own,” Kono suggests, trying to smile reassuringly.
Danny responds with a hollow, “Maybe”.
They move Steve into his bedroom, partly because it’s more comfortably and a little bit because Danny isn’t sure how long that poor tale could hold up under Steve’s gargantuan frame.
Chin and Kono head out for the night, making him promise to call them if the situation changes, and also to get some sleep because he looks like shit. There are few things Danny would love more right now than to get some sleep, but yeah. He’s pretty sure that isn’t happening tonight. In fact, he’s pretty sure he’s going to be up all night watching every fairy tale movie he can pull up on this stupid phone with the internet and that Tube website. WeTube or something.
By the time morning comes and Chin and Kono return, Danny had passed out in a chair by Steve’s bed, his phone forgotten on the phone.
Danny startles awake as the alarm on Steve’s phone goes off. Steve doesn’t so much as stir. That’s when yesterday’s events sink back in and Danny contemplates going back to sleep to see if this time he’d wake up from this bizarre dream.
Kono slips into the room, carrying a cup of coffee she hands to Danny and he accepts with a small smile. “Still snoring away, huh?”
“Yeah, like a freighter.” Danny shakes his head.
Chin comes in a few minutes later, with a bunch of malasadas and ensemadas from Liliha Bakery. Honestly, Danny has never loved them more, even if this reeks like some sort of diversion tactic. He doesn’t even know. Sleeping next to his cursed partner is probably making him paranoid.

The problem is that, it’s been three days, and Steve’s still doing a spot-on impersonation of Sleeping Beauty, Danny’s pretty much moved into his place, and nothing is working. No, really.
Attempts to break the curse to date:
1. The previously mentioned slapping, shaking, and Springsteen-blaring wake-up call.
2. A collection of good luck charms, ranging from rabbit’s feet to a penny Danny found outside.
3. Dunking Steve in the ocean outside at dusk, attributed to the first site Kono found when searching “ways to break curses”
4. A goddamn pea stuffed under Steve’s mattress. Turns out, he’s not a real princess seeing as he’s still napping like a baby after bottle time.
5. Continual burning of incense. The bright side is that, Steve’s place smells less like dust and fresh spackle.
6. Danny will deny this one if ever asked, but, he did try putting every pair of shoes Steve owned on his feet, in a fit of desperation on the second night.
Pretty much, at this point, Danny was thinking of calling up one of them Potter actor kids or whoever and seeing if any of them were actually wizards, because well, crazier things had already happened.
