Hey guys, this is my new story Dyeing Easter Eggs! This is my first McKono story from Hawaii Five-O. I love this couple, and I soooo want them to get together! I don't anything :( I hope you enjoy!

NO ONE'S POV

Ever since she was a little girl, Kono has loved Easter.

Mainly, the dyeing of the eggs.

It's just something about the different colors that decorate the bowl after the project is finally done.

It is Good Friday, and Kono has the next three days off. Well, unless duty calls.

This morning she went out to the beach to surf, and after three hours of nonstop waves, she ran out of the ocean, sticking her board in the sand.

She grabs her towel and stretches out on the sand.

She lays down on it, hoping to catch a few rays while dozing in the sun.

At some point, she falls asleep because the next thing she knows, the sun is almost directly overhead.

She takes out her phone and sees that it's quarter to eleven.

She slowly rises and gathers her belongings, heading back home.

When Kono gets home, she looks for some food. Preferably, any Easter candy she might have left from her last shopping trip.

Nothing.

Great, looks like she's going shopping.

Again.

She throws on some clothes not really caring about what she actually has on and heads toward the door.

Grabbing her keys, she runs outside, hopping into her car, and driving out.

H5O

There is only so much a Navy SEAL can do three days before Easter.

Catherine shipped off yesterday for who knows how long, and there is no work unless some idiot decides to piss someone off and get themselves killed.

The only thing he could think of doing is to invite Danny and Grace for a day of Easter fun.

He picks up his phone and calls his number one speed dial.

"Hello?" He hears Danny on the other end.

"Hey, Danno!" Steve replies cheerily.

He hears what sounds like a groan and then, "What have I said about that, Steven? Exactly. I said no usage of that nickname!"

Danny continues to rant as Steve spaces out and rolls his eyes.

"Danny."

There's really no stopping him.

"Danny," Steve says again.

Still no response.

"DETECTIVE FREAKING DANNY WILLIAMS!" Steve screams into the phone.

Suddenly, Danny stops mid-rant.

"What? What do you want on one of my only days off that I have Grace?"

Steve sighs. Sometimes Danny is so stubborn.

"I was wondering if you and Gracie wanted to come over to my place to dye Easter eggs."

"Oh," Danny seems shocked. It's actually something normal people do. "Yeah, we'd love to come over and dye Easter eggs with you. Right Gracie?"

Steve could hear Grace on the other end reply teasingly, "Yeah, Danno!"

"Ugh. See what you do? You even have MY daughter on YOUR side! She was innocent, and now you have her calling me that teasingly! We'll see you at noon."

The line goes dead.

Now all Steve needs are some more eggs and some dye.

Grabbing his keys, he runs out the door.

KONO'S POV

I am walking around the market looking for the best candy possible.

There's just so much!

I'm starting to reach for some when I hear a familiar voice behind me.

"Kono?"

I turn around to see Steve's bright smile.

"Hey, Boss! What are you doing?"

He chuckles, "Really, Kono? No work means no 'Boss.'"

I just roll my eyes. "Fine, Steve, what are you doing here on your day off?"

"Well, I am here to buy some Easter egg dye and eggs."

"Wow! My boss has a holiday-loving side."

"Cute," Steve smirks. "I'm actually buying for when Danny brings Grace over this afternoon."

"Aww, how nice is that! You're going soft," I tease him.

"Uh-huh," Steve says, rolling his eyes. "So, what's your excuse, Kalakaua?"

"Excuse? I need an excuse for being in the chocolate aisle of a store?"

Steve looks me up and down. "Where do you put it all?"

"The joys of a high metabolism, Honey."

Steve's eyebrows shoot up.

"Oh, God! Sorry, I didn't mean-"

"It's fine, Kono. Just a figure of speech."

I just nod my head and turn back to my food.

I can feel Steve's eyes on the back of my head.

Finally, he clears his throat.

"Would you like to join us? You know, if you aren't doing anything today."

My eyes widen, and I turn to him.

"Um, yeah, I'd love to join you guys if that's okay."

Steve laughs at my reaction. "Well, Grace does need to see her Auntie Kono."

"Yeah, she does." I nod my head in agreement.

"Well, then let's go," Steve says pulling me along with him.

"Wait!" I say breaking free from his grasp.

He turns to me, confused as I jog back to the candy and grab a back of assorted chocolates.

I start to walk back to him but abruptly stop and quickly grab a second bag.

When I get back to Steve, he's giving me that "Seriously?" look.

"What?" I say smiling and shrugging my shoulders. "Grace needs some, too."

He laughs and starts to push me towards the eggs. "I'll make sure to tell Danny that his daughter's sugar high was completely your fault."

I whip around to look at him and gasp, "You wouldn't."

He seems to consider it for a while. Then he replies, "You and I both know I will."

Steve walks around me to pick up the eggs and head toward the dye.

The worst part is, I know for a fact he would.

"Hey! Make sure to get some glittery stuff!" I call sprinting after him.

STEVE'S POV

I am surprised, for no reason because everybody has to shop, to see Kono in the market but thrilled that she agreed to join our little Easter party.

I text Chin to see if he wants to come too, but his response is: Sorry, brah, but I spend enough time with you maniacs at work. I think I'll just enjoy my day off today.

Well, we didn't want him there anyway...

Kono meets me at my house after we get done shopping.

She gets out of the car, and I can't help but notice that she left the candy in her car.

As she catches up to me, I call her out on it.

"So, uh, where's the candy for Grace?"

"Oh," she replies thinking for a second. "I don't want to get blamed for Grace being high-wired."

"Uh-huh," I reply through slitted eyes.

"What?!" She exclaims.

"So, you're going to leave it to melt?" I ask crossing my arms over my chest.

"Well, you certainly won't take the blame!"

"Let's go," I say, placing my hand on the small of her back, pushing her toward the door. "You're just lucky I have plenty of candy in my stock pile."

"Oh yeah, that's right! You don't eat ANYTHING unhealthy."

I scoff at her remark as I close the door behind us. "Hello? I eat pizza."

She raises her eyebrows.

"Sometimes."

"You eat it with pineapple! Which is healthy!"

"So do you," I simply state.

"We both know that I eat plenty of chocolate though."

I have absolutely nothing to say to that.

She rolls her eyes, "Anyway, what time are Danny and Grace coming?"

I glance at my watch. "About twelve so we got like, twenty-five minutes."

"Here, I'll start boiling the eggs, and you can go get your stock pile of goodies out and ready to make Danny's life a living hell."

"Sounds like a plan. Just don't burn the water. Again," I say smirking at her.

I walk out of the kitchen, but I can still hear her mumble, "I'm gonna kill Chin."

Coming back with my pantry supply of junk food, I pile it on the table and start to sort it.

Kono walks away from the stove but stops dead in her tracks when she catches sight of the table.

She puts one hand on her hip and the other on her forehead.

"Seriously? Please, please tell me this is NOT your stock pile," she says, looking from the table to me and back again. "Your version of junk food is low-fat granola bars?"

"What?" I ask her, confused. "They're low-fat not non-fat."

"Oh. My. Dear. God," Kono replies, face-palming herself.

"Careful there. You night damage something in that pretty little head of yours," I tease until I actually realize what I just said.

"Sorry, Kono, I-"

"It's okay, Steve. Figure of speech remember?"

"Yeah," I say nodding my head.

"Well, I'm going to go get my real candy so that Grace can get hyper with some of the food she eats today."

"You wound me, Kalakaua," I call after her.

"Well, just as long as I don't kill ya," she calls back throwing a wink over her shoulder.

When she gets back, we put her candy in a bowl filled with that basket grass stuff.

Then, I hear it.

"Really, Kono? You're burning the water, again?" I yell running to the kitchen to turn off the stove.

Kono is hot on my heels and stops right behind me.

I can see the embarrassment in her eyes so I turn this event into a joke.

"Does Chin keep a tally of how many times you manage to burn water? If he doesn't, well, he should really start."

"Shut up!" She cries, swatting my chest. "You distracted me with your inaccurate views of junk food!"

I just shake my head, "This is all on you, Sweetheart."

I don't even try to take my words back.

She doesn't deny them either.

Just as I put more water on the stove, the doorbell rings.

I turn to Kono, "You stay here to do two things. One, surprise Grace. Two, watch the water."

I start to walk away but double back.

"By watch the water, I mean, do NOT take your eyes off of it."

She just rolls her eyes as the doorbell rings again.

"Just hold on a second, will you?!"

There's the first chapter! I'm really excited to write this story. Please review so I know how it was! Thanks for reading!
