(no subject)
So I was thinking how hilarious it would be if someone, say Danny's doctor, who is concerned about his blood pressure told him he should maybe do something about that. Like pick up a hobby. Something soothing. Calming.
Danny is all, "...I. What?" And then there is this whole rant about how there is a reason, a very specific reason his bloods pressure is so high, and his initials are S.J.M. >:(
But then Grace is all sadface at him because she loves her Danno and doesn't want anything to happen to him and gives him the puppy-dog eyes and there is just no saying no to that, so Danny goes and gets his knitting needles or his crochet hooks and yarn and other such materials. He's kind of awful at it at first and convinced that this so-called soothing hobby is what will actually kill him because he just can't figure out how to cast on or chain stitch and it's all very aggravating, but after a while he gets the hang of it and it's not all that bad, really? And then he starts bringing his knitting/crocheting projects everywhere. (Five-0 HQ, stakeouts, etc., etc., etc.)
He brings them to Five-0 HQ and will be working on whatever project while he's taking a break, or waiting for news back from the crime lab or for whatever reason. Steve or Kono or Chin will come in to ask him a question and he'll be knitting or crocheting away and they get this look on their face that he sees - don't think he doesn't! - but he's busy, okay, and a dropped stitch can be a bitch, so he doesn't look up until he's at a good stopping point, and then!
And then he raises an eyebrow and is just, "Is there some way that I might possibly be of help to you?" And whoever has interrupted him this time is clearly dying to ask all about the knitting or crocheting, but Danny is damned if he's going to volunteer that information. If they want to know, they will have to use their words and not the juvenile, badly disguised snickering from earlier, or the "Really? Really?" looks they've been giving him, or, and this is kind of a favorite, the "...What is this? I cannot even?" expression Steve had before slowly backing out of the room that one time.
Still, no one actually asks, and after a while they get used to it. Sure, he's well aware of the, "We're in Hawaii. Hawaii. Where knitted/crocheted items of clothing such as scarves/sweaters/warmers of various kinds aren't actually necessary," looks he gets from time to time, but the knitting/crocheting actually is soothing and calming and his blood pressure is so much better.
After weeks/months, who knows how long, he presents Steve with these. Danny's all smiling and pleased with himself and is just, "Because I know you are a psycho who has a disturbing fondness for explosive ordinance and whatnot, I made you these, :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD"
Steve just kind of stares because he's not actually a psycho? But he does love him some explosive ordinance after all, and also, they're kind of awesome (and Danno made them just for him) and he doesn't know if he should hang them in his truck like fuzzy dice or what? (He ends up sleeping with them like they are tiny little teddy bears, a fact that Danny doesn't learn until later. When there is kissing and such involved, and so he's a little distracted.)
...I kind of love the internet right now because I did a Google search for knitted/crocheted hand grenade patterns after this idea popped into my head just to see if such a thing existed? Only to find that someone actually made crocheted hand grenades. (He's also made other things that explode!) Oh, internets. ♥!
P.S. Sorry if this ends up being posted a billion times on LJ or IJ because I am lame. /o\
