Tuesday - Ties

[carinascott.livejournal.com]

Happy Tuesday everyone! And for all you from NOLA, happy Fat Tuesday! carinascott here once again, with today's theme: Ties.

Here's a quick reminder of the rules:
- Only 3 prompts in one fandom.
- Only 5 prompts in a row (but if one of your prompts is filled, feel free to prompt again)
- No spoilers in your prompts for at least a week after the airdate/release.
- Warn for any spoilers in your fic using BOLD text and leave at least three spaces before the text.

And to keep our codemonkeys sane and happy, please remember:
- Prompts and the inspired fics are to be comment sized. If the prompt is too long, it's hard to record properly in the archive. Also, long and detailed prompts usually lead to long and detailed fics. If you get inspired to write something longer, that's ok, please just post a snippet in response to the prompt and a link to where we can find the rest of the fic.

- Adhere to the proper prompt formatting. For example:
Leverage, Eliot/Hardison, Eliot looked great in a tailor made suit, but something was missing....

Hawaii Five-O, Steve/Danny, Watching Danny loosen the knot of his tie always made Steve lose his train of thought. Unfortunately, this didn't go unnoticed by Chin and Kono.

White Collar, Peter/Elizabeth/Neal, Neal hated Peter's ties, but he didn't mind so much when Elizabeth chose to wear them.

However, if none of the prompts you see today strike your fancy, hop on over to take a look at the Lonely Prompts and see if anything there catches your eye.

Knots and Crosses

Danny is all but bouncing off the walls as he waits for Steve to get to the office. He hates going to court, but sometimes it's just part of the job. He's wearing his "serious" tie; the one Rachel had brought in London because Grace liked it. He figured if a tie from Harrods of London wouldn't impress the jury, at least he'd look good going down in flames.

Finally, finally, Steve comes through the door. Holy crap! McGarrett wearing a suit and tie that wasn't his Commanders uniform. The silvery-gray shirt and moss green and silver patterned tie looks expensive. The darker gray suit had been custom-tailored to fit his fine body. Danny feels weak and hot and a little overwhelmed all at the same time.

"What?" McGarrett says. He looks down. "Do I have a spot on my tie or something?"

"You clean up good," Danny manages to say. "You should ... you know.... do it more often."

"I don't like to wear ties," is all Steve says. He looks at his watch. "Close your mouth and let's get going before we're late."

They're in the car driving to the courthouse and Danny is still casting sideways glances at McGarrett. "Someday, Mr. Casual, you're gonna tell me what you've got against looking like a professional."

"A professional?"

"Yeah ... polished. Responsible."

"My gun is always polished and that makes me very responsible."

"Yeah, yeah." He would have continued but they were pulling into a parking place and there wasn't time to continue this fascinating train of thought.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^

"Funerals." Steve said.

"What?" Danny blinked at the non-sequitur. "How do we go from talking about Bobby Ho's plea bargain -- which made this whole thing a total waste of my tie from Harrod's of London that Gracie picked out --"

"God, you are a babbling idiot."

"Really? Good. Because that makes as much sense as Bobby Ho copping a plea."

"I'm hungry. Are you hungry?"

"Yeah ..."

"Good. We're off the clock. How about steaks and a beer?"

"I like a man with a plan." Then he remembers. "Wait, wait, wait ... you said wearing a tie reminds you of funerals?" He's missed his chance. Steve is pulling into his driveway and knowing his partner, he won't get back to it until he's good and ready.

By the time Danny cleans up before dinner, Steve is chopping veggies for a salad. His sleeves are rolled to the elbows, showing off the muscles in his forearms. He tie is looser, but still pretty much knotted around his throat. Danny comes over to him, carefully stills the knife and turns Steve to face him. His arms are linked loosely around Steve's waist. "So."

"So?"

"Funerals, babe. Funerals."

Steve sighs and slumps against the counter. "Ninety percent of the time I've worn ties in the last few years, I've been at funerals. For friends, for fellow officers, for fallen colleagues ... for my dad." He isn't looking at Danny. He's looking out at the ocean.

"C'mon," Danny says. "Salad can wait. Beers can't." He stretches up to kiss Steve's chin. Not what he was aiming for, but it makes Steve smile.

He puts his arm around Danny's shoulders and they go outside and stand on the beach. The surf is calm here in this sheltered bay, and the heat of the day has dissipated. Danny reaches up and loosens the knot on Steve's tie. He works it out, then pulls Steve, unresisting, down for a kiss.

"Nice tie, but I like this better." His lips feather down to the hollow of Steve's throat. "This is life, babe."

Steve sighs, tips his head back a bit and feels Danny's warm breath on his skin.

The End

Hawaii Five-0, Steve/Danny, for their wedding, Steve wore a tie just for Danny. And on their honeymoon too.

Dance: Steve/Danny, for their wedding, Steve wore a tie just for Danny. And on their honeymoon too.

[somehowunbroken]

The wedding is small, private, kind of beautiful in a way his first one wasn't. Danny and Steve are both in tuxes; Chin stands with Danny in a dark gray suit, and Kono stands with Steve in a matching dress. Grace holds one of Danny's hands and one of Steve's through the entire ceremony, looking up at them with a smile on her face that rivals the sun, and Danny has Steve's other hand as they stand on the beach. Mary's there, and Danny's sisters Em and Lindsey had been able to fly out. The most surprising guest is Rachel, but she's smiling at Danny like she hasn't in years, soft and affectionate and happy, and it seems fitting in a way he can't quite describe.

When the ceremony is over, Kono drags everyone back up to the house and puts her iPod into the speaker dock that Steve had installed. There's music and food and it feels really, really nice. Mary's dancing with her date, a guy Danny's never met, and Em's swaying with her husband Mark. Danny's got a mouthful of God-knows-what - Kono had put it on his plate with a wide smile when he had asked what it was - when he feels a warm hand on his neck. Steve smiles down at him when he turns his face.

"Dance with me," he says softly, and it's that tone of voice that Danny will never be able to say no to, kind of vulnerable in a way that Steve rarely is. Danny swallows and puts his plate down and follows Steve to the lanai.

It's a little awkward - they're both guys, for one, so there's the issue of where their hands are supposed to go - but they figure it out and start to move to the music. Danny leans his head on Steve's chest and smiles as one of Steve's hands wanders up his back and rests against his shoulderblade. It's somewhere between dancing and hugging, and Danny kind of likes it.

And speaking of things he likes- "Nice tie," Danny says, not bothering to tilt his head up. It's not that loud, and Steve can hear a tree falling in the woods on the mainland anyway.

Steve chuckles softly into Danny's hair. "Wore that just for you, Danno."

"I figured," Danny grins against Steve's chest. "Now, if I could just convince you to wear it more often-"

"Hmm," Steve says, like he's actually thinking about it. "Maybe I'll wear it on our honeymoon, huh? You and me and a hotel room, wearing a tie and nothing else-"

"Jesus," Danny mutters, pulling back to look up at his husband. "Are you trying to kill me here?"

Danny can pretty much feel it to his feet, the way Steve smiles at him, goofy and ridiculous and totally, totally hot. Steve leans in and Danny leans up and their lips meet, slow and sweet, again and again.

They're not dancing any more, but neither of them care.
