The Beach, Monday afternoon

After classes were over (or roughly, it wasn't like he kept track like some kind of creeper), he put on his favorite Hawaiian shirt from the Shenanigans--the Hot Dog Bigfoots--and headed down to the beach.

In a little while, there were four fires roaring merrily: three on different grills with a variety of meats, one sequestered just for pork products, and one for vegetarian options. Steve'd even sourced some fresh ahi again and was feeling particularly pleased with himself about that.

The fourth fire was a cute little bonfire with neatly stacked rejected Shenanigan shirts placed a safe distance from it, along with buckets of water and sand for fire safety (and because McGarrett had 100 percent been a Boy Scout).

There were coolers of drinks including one of beer with a sign--"If you are from the HS and take a beer at a cop party, you're dumber than we thought and are v sad for you"--as the only disincentive.

Come on down, Fandom! Say goodbye to the summer. Eat food, drink beer, get rid of polyblend if that's your thing...

"Told you," Will said.

Not that he ever would ignore his own shit and focus on helping others. Noooo. Never.

"You did," Stark agreed. "And so did Summer. And Lana. And Rey's friend." And probably other people.

"Other people needed help more than I did. I wasn't going to die, it just hurt."

"Yeah, but when you're hurt you're not at the top of your game for helping other people out," Will said, and once again could probably stand to take his own damned advice.

"But I wasn't in the way," Stark pointed out. "If other people needed help from someone else." Being somewhere he wasn't wanted or of any use was always a concern.

"And you had people worried about you," Will pointed out. "Taking care of yourself helped them."

"I wasn't thinking about that." Because sometimes Stark was ridiculous.

"I was just trying not to be a problem."

Think about how outraged Travis had been on your behalf when he thought you hadn't received proper care, Stark! Think about that!

"You're not a problem, man, I promise."

Travis had been outraged. This is true.

"I try not to be. But I shouldn't have gotten hit and...maybe I wasn't thinking well. At the time."
