[ Mmmm Hank tries very hard not to stare when Gavin licks his fingers... He'll just turn his attention on his own burger. He's pretty hungry too. Yeah, it's definitely hunger. ]
Right, right.
[ Hank smirks. Yes, he's going to focus on his burger now and not his cute mate. That should be easy. ]
[ Yep, that's pretty much it. Hank grabs a couple fries in between bites, enjoying the delicious, way-too-meaty-burger. For a werewolf he manages to not make a huge mess. But he is listening, honest. ]
[ Yeah, Hank's still gonna stare as Gavin licks his fingers. Hm, he definitely doesn't realize he's doing it. It's fine! ]
Yeah, I remember.
[ He smirks, finishing off his burger and taking a sip of his gross soda. Gavin was so bright-eyed and pushy-tailed. It had been adorable... especially given his little confession. ]
Oh, yeah? [ That seems to make something light up in Hank's eyes. Had a crush, huh? ] What, cause of my big red ice bust?
[ (Gary definitely does, oh my god you two get a room.)
Gav goes back to munching on the fries, glad at least that little confession didn't turn embarrassing right off the bat. His cheekbones still get a little pink though. ]
Yeah. [ Mouthful of potato! Swallow. ] That was part of it. Dunno, you just didn't treat me like an idiot for asking questions.
[ He's not gonna make fun of you for it -- half the precinct had a crush on him back then. Hank's lived long enough to take a confession without totally destroying the confessor. Lucky you, Gavin. ]
Asking stuff just means you wanna learn. [ Hank shrugs, stuffing several fries into his mouth. ] You've always been a smart kid. Wasn't just the test scores, either. Your record speaks for itself.
[ Ah... he gets a little more flushed, hunching up his shoulders a little. Look at those happy beta vibes wafting from him. ]
Thanks. [ He takes another long drink of his soda. ] I actually thought I was pretty stupid, when I was first on my own. I'd been compared to Eli all my life, made me think I was some drooling idiot.
[ Yes, good. Hank may not necessarily be doing it on purpose, but he is happy to know his beta is happy. It makes him smile with something like pride. Maybe. ]
Jesus, no kidding. How the fuck are you supposed to follow up an asshole like him?
[ Gavin shrugs a shoulder. ] It wasn't... entirely Eli's fault. At least when we were kids, y'know? It was all we knew. I skipped grades and tested out of most of high school but because I didn't do it as fast as Eli, well, clearly meant I was the idiot child.
[ He finishes up his fries, licking more salt off of his fingers. ] I figured out real quick how wrong my folks were, though. And Gran helped give me perspective.
[ Of course talking about parents at least keeps Hank distracted through the... licking. Which is happening. Time to stuff his face with fries, yeah. ]
But it makes sense -- your brother, I mean. Kids internalize what they hear, and if your parents kept that shit up, he'd believe it whether he was even aware of it or not.
[ Yeah, they both know how to profile people, Hank knows Kamski had to be pretty messed up to be like he is... He's just also a dick. ]
Yeah. Real case of projecting your own inadequacies and living through your kids' accomplishments.
[ Soooo much licking. Look at him lick. Mm, tongue. ]
Yeah, exactly. I hope that we can be around each other as adults now, after all of that. I know he's barely been seen in public since he left CyberLife. [ He huffs. ] But he's always gonna be a dick, that's for sure.
Well if I ever meet 'em, I'll give them a piece of my mind. [ He scoffs. ] Plus hey, at least you're twins. I'm sure he's missed you. Even if he sees you in the mirror every day.
[ The licking though.... Hank's getting a little too distracted. ]
Okay, let's go.
[ He's gonna keep staring until he can actually do something so he might as well cut to the chase and get them back to the car. Hank offers Gavin the rest of his fries and starts cleaning up. ]
[ That gets a laugh. ] God, I'd pay money to see that. They probably wouldn't even react though.
[ Ooh, more fries...! He really hasn't been licking his fingers to get Hank going this time, too busy thinking about his brother. Thinking of Eli lately makes his chest clench a little, a little pain appearing between his eyes.
He watches Hank pick up as he eats the fries. ]
I hope he did, or I'm gonna look like a real dumbass. And yeah, I'm ready. [ He rolls up the empty fry bag and tosses it into the garbage. ]
[ At least Hank can kinda feel that Gavin's just... unaware. Which is fine. He looks happy with his fries. They can worry about easing the tension in his eyes later.
Uh, you know, by talking. Hank picks up the rest of their trash and tosses it, leading them back to the car. ]
He seems like the kinda guy who needs somebody in his life to tell him he's a dumbass. Someone he'll actually listen to. Like say, his twin brother.
[ Hank smirks, proud of his beta. Ah yes, before he starts the car there's something he really wants to do. It involves checking to see if anyone's looking and then leaning over to lick the corner of Gavin's lips. He, uh, definitely licks for longer than he needs to, but it just feels right?? ok?? And he couldn't really resist after Gavin bared his neck like that. ]
[ He's about to quip something when oh... that's Hank. Coming right for him. He gasps gently when he licks, fluttering his eyes a little at the lingering feeling of his tongue.
Uh oh, it's all coming back now. The temporary distraction of food is all done and the Puppy Beta Mate I Want You feeling is back in full force, slamming into his rib cage. He whimpers a little.
And surges forward and kisses Hank square on the lips. ]
[ Hank feels the same pull towards Gavin, only his is the urge to protect and keep him close. Now that he's fed and sheltered his mate, it's only natural he enjoy the closeness and warmth he provides isn't it? Hank tries not to think as he kisses back, indulging in what he knows is just instinct but it feels so good he doesn't care.
His beta is here and he's safe and they're going to be okay. He'll make sure of that. ]
[ The purring starts right away. Gavin practically climbs into Hank's lap, kissing him hotly. He opens his mouth and moans softly, resting his hands on Hank's chest.
He's riding that high too, of being provided for but... it's Hank. Hank, who at every turn and every little reveal about himself doesn't run away or judge him. His heart aches with this feeling that he doesn't want to name for fear of ruining it.
[ They can't do this at work but they can do it here, right? Hank isn't worried about that, not when Gavin is moaning his name like that. The purring sends his instincts into overdrive. He growls and pulls him into his lap properly, grabbing him by the waist and holding him while he deepens the kiss.
It's definitely not platonic but it's all instinct. Which is fine. This feels good. Hank ]
[ Yes, please, touch him all over... When they part he sighs and tilts his head, exposing his neck with another moan. His thighs are trembling a little. He's on the same wavelength. ]
[ Yeah, ok, Hank slides his hands down and grabs Gavin's ass, squeezing him with a growl. Yep, they're gonna have to be called into work at this rate because they might just never come back. Hank moves his kisses down Gavin's chin and jaw, mouthing his way over to his neck and licking the skin there. He probably shouldn't bite him here, they're practically in public. ]

I'm closer to forty now, y'know. I know I was like mid twenties the last time we really ever talked, but.
[ Look at him gobble up that burger all cutely. ]
no subject
Damn. Time sure flies, huh?
no subject
Sure does. Remember when I was all bright eyed and naive? How adorable.
[ He takes a big drink from his soda, licking his lips. It comes out before he has a chance to think about it: ]
Did you know I had the biggest goddamn crush on you when I first started?
no subject
Yeah, I remember.
[ He smirks, finishing off his burger and taking a sip of his gross soda. Gavin was so bright-eyed and pushy-tailed. It had been adorable... especially given his little confession. ]

You're not wrong. And I plan on doing that. But I'm sure he'll have a few choice words for me too.

It'll be fun [ hot? ] to see you two duke it out.

He hops into the car and leans back, stretching some. Look at that lovely, lovely neck~! ]
Hopefully not literally. He's taller than me but I could definitely kick his pasty, nerdy ass.
