[teruel-a-witch]

Having never been wise with his choice of words, Steve wasn't about to start now

[thewanderingace]

I just wanna say that this whole exchange makes me smile and not just because Danny blatantly asks his partner what he’s wearing in a flirty manner but because of Steve’s face the whole time Danny is explaining the situation at home and then while he’s ranting. Steve is smiling the entire time. This big goofy grin while he listens to his partner rant and be Danny-ish. It’s adorable and he’s so fucking smitten it makes my heart explode. I miss this. When Steve was infatuated by Danny’s rants instead of annoyed by them.

Awkward...

Or how Steve needed the ohana to be more natural with Danno

McDanno meta. 2x22 meta. The reunion.

Okay, I just wanted to point things I already talked in these two metas here and here.

But... I will repeat, the woman in quarantine episode 2x20 saying her husband disappeared two week and didn't return her calls, is a mcdanno mirror, which placed us in the fact that Danny and Steve current separation was taken with romantic subtext.

Then... Remember the "I'll think about you the whole time" quote? Adding the whole flirting, and the 'Surf Buddies', something that could be seen normal, but Steve's little sister made it look like very gay? And that was the sensation in Danny's and Steve's reaction?

Keep all of that in mind, because episode 2x22 was the awkward reunion between them, why? Because it was written and shown with homoerotic subtext and sexual tension, lowered thanks to the presence of the supportive ohana.

And let me just stop a little over this idea... What is the supportive ohana? Well...

The supportive ohana will be there when you will try to make something hard, and you need their presence to encourage yourself to do it... Example? Okay...

Episode 2x17... Yes, the flirting show...

Danny was able to introduce Gaby to Gracie, thanks to the ohana support over there. Right?

He invited all his friends because it was very important to him and very hard, a huge change.

With the ohana there, Everything is lighter and easier, and normal.

Now... Steve will make use of it...

Awkward 1

I won't avoid the fact that Steve was terrified to call Danny once he captured Wu Fat.

His body language is screaming he needs to encourage himself in doing that call.

He wouldn't feel the struggle of it was Chin or Kono' who he was about to call. And he could avoid Danny and make it easier, and call one of them. But no, he knew he had to call him.

Go check this post here, @kozuszek is the creator, I'm so agreed with the appreciation of Steve's behavior, because look...

Gif set credit @kozuszek 👇

Steve searches for a private place, he's a focused man, he wrote in the letter he needed to find Wu Fat, so he planned in his head (as an excuse to resist the will to call Dany everyday, because he was thinking about him the whole time, thank you writers) and after capture Wu Fat he told himself that just then, he would call Danny.

So focused soldier Steve has Wu Fat, now is time to call Danny, and yes he needs to know about that number, but he could call Chin for that, right?

He stares at the phone and sighs, the time has come. (I will bet his heart is racing and not just because he finished the first part of his mission). He looks up, then back at the phone, dimples of discontent. Is really hard for him to face Danny after knowing he left him without a word and two week without answering his calls.

And again looking back and forward and okay, is calling... Calling... Calling...

Danno picks up "Detective Williams" ... But Steve didn't!!!! He didn't answer at first! And the camera wasn't showing us Steve but Danny, so imagine Steve frozen, with the phone on his ear, hearing Danny's voice after two weeks, after missing him badly, and think about him, and knowing Danny should feel very mad at him. So yes, not just heart racing but speechless!!! And everyone who was in love once will perfectly understand what Steve is feeling now.

Insert random no homo usual quote a bro would say to his bro, when they were apart for so long. Because that is what Steve answers here.

Awkward 2

Let's strike another awkward moment... Okay, not so awkward because this is what happens when these two are flirting in their own world...

When flirting with your crush by phone in a one to one call is okay, and funny, and even Steve felt amused... Smiles giggling... Oh yes is perfect bc is the two of them...

But... This...

Okay, Steve is on the speaker, so everyone is hearing, and Danno first of all calls him babe, but is okay because he use to use that word very often... But then... He engaged with the "six", second meaning, and why is he talking like that? Is a sexual reference, to Steve's male reproductive organs hahahahaaha, and Kono's face in the second gif, even Chin looks at him like 'Did you just asked Steve to take care of his balls/penis?'

Did you just flirt in front of our salade?

And Steve would react differently for sure if they weren't on speaker, because the writers showed us how Steve reacted to a sexual joke, right?

But is different when the ohana is present... So it seems like Danny is aware of his big mouth, and he just went 'F...ck!'

So Steve is in no homo mode, because ohana is there. And Danny is just asking for the end of the world to come right in that moment.

Awkward 3

The reunion. I rewatched three more times the reunion. And is full of body language to read.

But, again, remember the concept of supportive ohana.

I couldn't find the clip of the scene, but I will say go rewatch and come. First, Steve's watching Danny approaching him...

His face is priceless, he can't speak, and he doesn't know what to say, and mostly, because Wu Fat is there with them. But he is like looking at him after two weeks. That face is screaming 'I missed you so much, did you miss me?'

You know when people says that distance is good because it makes you realize how much you miss the person you love? This is the same here.

But then, Steve just says BOOK HIM DANNO. And Danny is, feeling is an awkward moment too, but he goes with the easy joke, to brake the ice. Not hug here, even if they want to. And Danny wants to say a lot of things too... A lot of things he has in his tongue...

Then Kono comes, and for her is easy to say YOU DIDN'T CALL, NOT MESSAGES. WE MISS YOU. And the hug comes easy and natural.

Then Chin, another natural hug.

And Danny turns around in that moment from the police car to watch them. And is a longing stare. He wants a hug too, he wants to know what happened.

And Steve jokes with Chin : Did you think about me? So natural, because is Chin.

So, Kono says the things Danny wanted to say, but he didn't, because the relationship is different.

And Steve asked Chin the question he wanted to make Danny, because the relationship is not the same.

When Danny comes back, he has that stare again, a mix between relief, and sadness, and longing, and so many unanswered questions. But mostly, relief, to see him alive. Because he thought maybe he lost him when the CIA guy said it. He was thinking he wouldn't see Steve again, and the remembrance of that pain is still running through his veins... That's why that face...

And Steve is able to hug him, because the supportive ohana is there, and Wu Fat is not.

Steve is able to act normal, because the ohana is surrounding him, so, he goes and really just for a second time his Danno. Is not awkward if we make it natural when the supportive ohana is there.

I would love to know how this reunion would've go if there were just Steve and Danny... Hehe.

Awkward silence.

Sexual tension.

Loving the rewatch of the firsts seasons.

See you soon!

Tag list, just one! But if you want to be added, just let me know! @lonelysoul50

[kozuszek]

It is just me or Steve "I don't afraid of anything/anyone" McGarrett is afraid to call to Danny, after he left him only a letter and didn't give a sign of life for a long time.

(Yes he already knew that this conversation with his boyfriend will not be so easy!)

[bisexualstokes-archive]

now there is some episodes of H50 that Alex is not in due to him going to rehab maybe want to skip those all together and watch 2x22 and 2x23 he's back in seasons 3 to season 9 looking so good and sexy as hell

i typically don’t like skipping episodes on my first watch through of anything, even if my fav isn’t in it lol (if i was able to sit through those five episodes of season 14 without nick stokes I can get through anything) but i saw the preview image for 2x22 and i’m excited as hell for that one!

[cowboybuckleys]

h50 + gif an ep        —> 2x22

[teruel-a-witch]

remember when Steve left Danny an actual hand-written letter like a soldier shipping off to war who couldn't say goodbye to his secret sweetheart in person?

and Danny called said letter 'dear Danny' – a play on 'dear John' i.e. a letter you send to break up with your military bf, - therefore essentially comparing them to wartorn lovers???

and while Steve was away everyone tiptoed around Danny and threw him sympathetic looks like he'd just lost a spouse?

and after Steve came back none-the-wiser Danny acted like a jilted lover who got broken up with in a text and gave Steve the cold shoulder

(which in his case was just being quiet but Steve can't stand Danny being quiet and not sharing his thoughts and feelings with him)

and that, in turn, made Steve understand how he had made Danny feel left out in the cold by refusing to include him in something so important

— so he course corrected because the prospect of Danny never speaking to him again was unbearable and and ...

these two basically had the shortest divorce arc in history because they really can't stand to be apart. break up to vow renewal speedrun in 3 episodes.

there's no my own in friendship marriage

Hawaii Five-0, Season 2, Episode 22 - Ua Hopu (Caught)
