The Hawaii Five-0 Cliche Meme
Fake boyfriends, accidental marriages, and amnesia, OH MY! Whatever your poison, whatever you favorite cliche, it's open and allowed here. Want to see Steve and Danny make out for cover and discover their ~true feelings? What about when they have to pretend to be boyfriends to keep cover? When they're forced to share a bed all ~platonic-like for weeks and keep waking up cuddling and then can't sleep without each other? Maybe Grace playing matchmaker? The one where everyone but them realizes they're married? Danny gets de-aged to six and Steve has to take care of him? Steve gets magicked into a tiny, angry kitten and/or dragon? They one where they must cuddle for warmth to survive?
Maybe that isn't your flavor. Maybe you want the one where Kono is a punk rock princess that keeps getting into trouble? Or where Chin loses his memory and thinks he's back on the HPD force. Maybe the one where Kono is secretly a criminal mastermind, working the team from the inside. Or where she has the chance return to her pro surfing career and must choose. How about one where Chin goes on an epic road trip?
There is no bad cliche! Whatever your favorite, I promise I want to read/see it, too.

Re: The one where Danny can't sleep without Steve, 4/5
Well, that's sorted, then.
He walks up to Steve's front door and almost doesn't end up knocking anyway when he gets a good look at his reflection in the glass for the first time in several days. He's appalled at the state Steve has reduced him to -- the bags under his eyes are bruised, and the lines at the corners are way more pronounced than usually. He's pale, too, underneath the tan that has sneaked up on him when he wasn't looking. No wonder Kono was worried. He can only imagine what Steve thinks about all this.
The door flies open even before Danny has a chance to knock; Steve hulks over him, Aneurysm face firmly in place.
"What is it, Danny? Something wrong?" he says in a rush, looking behind Danny's shoulder for any possible danger. "And if you say 'I'm fine', I'm going to kick your Jersey ass all the way inside, you know I will. Come on, get in. You ready to tell me what the hell's going on with you?"
Danny follows Steve in, doesn't even have it in him to argue. When he walks through the door, the smell of it hits him so hard that his knees fold up right under him -- it smells like Steve, warm, safe, familiar, somewhere where he can let go at last.
Steve catches him before he tries to do it himself, pinning him to the wall to keep him upright.
"Jesus, Danny," he says, eyes roaming over him worriedly, hesitating over the blood-shot eyes, the grey tinge to his skin, the lax mouth, from up close and personal. "How long's it been since you last slept?"
Danny's anger catches up at last; he pushes Steve off, even if he sways when he steps away from the wall. Steve makes an aborted motion forward again, but Danny's glare stops him in his tracks.
"You wanna talk about that, huh? You wanna talk about how it's been two weeks since I last slept? You wanna talk about what the hell that was back in that tent? What did you do, McGarrett, blast me with pheromones or something? Is there a drug in your SEAL DNA make-up that enables you to forgo sleep, and you passed it on to me somehow? Because unlike you, normal people need sleep to function, and I can't get any. Do you know how pissed off that makes me feel?
"I'm getting some idea," Steve says dryly -- which is a mistake, because Danny's fed up with this bullshit, he's so tired he could spit, and he just wants to sleep for a goddamn week; but he can't do it without this--this--6'5'', 200 lb of muscle there at his back. What has his life come to?
"You. Get upstairs right now. Right. Now," he reiterates, jabbing a finger at him when Steve's mouth hangs open and he starts to protest. "I've spent the last two hundred and eighty hours more or less awake, and I am not shitting you when I say that I will kick your ass if you don't get into your bed right now and let me sleep!"
Steve stares at him for a few moments, speechless and blinking.
"So what you're saying is, you can't sleep without me," he states, and he looks like he doesn't know whether he should laugh or believe this is really happening to him. A small smile starts the long trek across his face; by the time Danny's glaring mulishly at him, Steve is positively beaming. "You should have said something, Danno!" he says happily, looking against all evidence to the contrary like it's Christmas morning.
Danny is going to kill him, he really is.
Re: The one where Danny can't sleep without Steve, 5/5
Danny trudges up the endless steps, tugging his tie off half-way. He hadn't even thought to change before he'd been out the door and into his car, all nervous energy and exhaustion, driven by his need to either kill Steve or tie him to the bed so he'd stay there and Danny could finally sleep.
He ropes the undone tie over his shoulders as he tugs his shirt buttons undone with clumsy fingers, feeling the longed-for oblivion lapping at the edges of his awareness. He finds the bedroom, walks inside without even checking for any possible threats, he's that tired, and drops his shirt and tie on the floor by the perfectly-made bed, all hospital corners and fluffy white sheets. He thinks he moans in relief.
The footsteps padding up the stairs falter for a second before quickening. Danny unbuttons his pants and pushes them down his hips, kicking off his shoes and leaving everything in a heap on the floor. His socks quickly follow before he crawls between the sheets and falls face-first into soft pillows that smell like Steve. He breathes the scent open-mouthed, desperate. If he wasn't so drained, he swears he'd get hard just from that. As it is, he barely has the strength to flop to the side, so his back is facing the centre of the bed, and waits for that final thing to push him under.
Steve walks into the room at last, staring at Danny sprawled in his bed for a moment too long.
"McGarrett, get your ass over here. Don't make me get up, now," Danny threatens; though in the state he's in, a kitten could take him on and win.
He feels rather than sees Steve tug off his shirt and walk over. The bed dips under his weight, rolling Danny closer towards the middle. Steve stretches his freakishly tall body down, shifting so his bare chest is pressed to Danny's back; the warmth of his skin is like an instant hit of some soporific drug, every muscle in his body relaxes at once and Danny can only sigh in relief. Then Steve's arm is around him again, and he's settled more comfortably against his front.
"Sleep, Danno," Steve murmurs into the nape of his neck, stirring the soft hairs. Danny thinks he feels the touch of lips pressing a kiss into his skin; but by that time he's falling, falling, safe in Steve's arms, and his last thought is that he'll figure out a way to thank him in the morning.

And yeah, I was mostly being a smartarse about the height/weight thing. I guess I should have exaggerated it further to make it work -- and I think I did in the cleaned-up version.
