Summary: Danny's not very pleased with Steve's idea of appropriate dinner conversation.
Author's Note: I wrote this for Week 1 of the [livejournal.com profile] sd_ldws Lighting Round. The prompt was Jealousy and the genre was Romance. Thankfully it got me through the first round. :D



Danny threw open the front door and rushed in, slamming it in Steve’s face before he could follow. Steve frowned at the door before swinging it open. “What’s your problem?”

“Me?” Danny asked, leaning over to tug angrily at his shoes. “I don’t have a problem. What could I possibly have a problem with? Certainly not the way you spent the entire dinner talking about all of your sexual exploits in the Navy.”

“Are you jealous?” Steve asked. “Seriously, it was more than ten years ago.”

“I am in no way jealous,” Danny said indignantly. He abandoned his shoes, standing up and glaring at Steve. “There is absolutely no jealousy here. I could care less how many blow jobs you got before shipping out or how many times the CO almost caught you with your dick out.”

“That!” Steve said, pointing at Danny. “That’s jealousy.” Steve couldn’t help the laugh that escaped as he stepped closer to Danny, reaching out to touch his arm.

“Don’t touch me,” Danny muttered, stepping back and crossing his arms.

Steve’s laughter died. “Danny, it was a long time ago.”

“Yeah, whatever.” Danny shrugged. “I don’t give a flying fuck how you spent your twenties, but what I don’t like is hearing all about it at dinner.”

“Danny, I’m sorry it upset you,” Steve tried to explain. “But that’s just what it’s like when my old Navy buddies are in town. We talk about all that stupid stuff. It doesn’t mean anything.”

“Then why bother inviting me out with you in the first place?” Danny asked. “I looked like an idiot sitting there trying to smile while you talked about which ports have the easiest women.”

Steve’s heart dropped. The last thing he’d been trying to do was make Danny feel out of place. That wasn’t what tonight had been about. “I wanted you there because I wanted them to meet you. Now that Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell is gone, I wanted to formally introduce you to the closest thing I have to a family.”

Danny’s face softened slightly. “Steve, would you have talked like that in front of a girlfriend? I mean, I’m no blushing virgin, but it wasn’t comfortable. Think about how you would have felt if I’d told the story about that time Rachel and I snuck under the boardwalk and—“

“Okay, okay,” Steve said holding up a hand. “When you put it that way, I see your point. I’m sorry, I wasn’t thinking.”

“You weren’t,” Danny agreed.

He dropped his arms to his side and Steve stepped hesitantly closer. This time when he reached out Danny didn’t pull away. Steve slid his hand around Danny’s waist and pulled him close. He dropped a kiss to the top of Danny’s head. “I am sorry. But if it makes you feel better, they liked you.”

“Of course they did,” Danny mumbled. “I’m a very likable person.”

Steve chuckled. He tilted Danny’s head up and leaned down, brushing their lips together. “Yes you are.”

Man, I love Steve but how could he not realize that talking about his past exploits would upset Danny?

Good for Danny for telling Steve exactly what was bothering him and of course Steve's Navy buddies would like Danny--he's awesome--great work on this :)

I think he's still figuring out the line between his best buddy Danny and his boyfriend Danny.

Thanks for reading!

This felt very real! Steve laughing and then realizing Danny is serious. And I like that Danny doesn't come off as really emotional and insecure, it's just a normal and justified reaction. And then end was sweet and really in character, I think. ♥

Thank you! I'm glad it came off so real and believable. I was definitely trying for a very real and down to earth moment. :D

Jealous!Danny makes a nice change from jealous!Steve which seems to be much more common in this fandom usually. I wouldn't put it past Steve to talk about all this stuff in front of Danny *pokes him*

LOL. Steve is maybe a little too comfortable with Danny.

Thanks for reading!

Yes. Steve can be an idiot, but at least he realized it and how it came across. He didn't mean to upset Danny. I liked how he told Danny why he wanted him to meet his Navy buddies.
So adorkable!

*faccepalms* oh, Steve. I love the moment when he realizes he messed up. he didn't mean no harm but come on *slaps his arm*. And I do like that Danny is just pissed Steve didn't see the problem and not actually insecure.

I'm glad you liked it! I didn't want to do a cliche jealous/insecure thing so I'm glad you enjoyed this take.

Thanks for reading!

Not that sexual exploits from Steve should have been a big surprise. : P Great work.
