Can't speak for anybody else, but most of the stuff we think is just stories... usually isn't.
[ Hank shrugs. He's seen a lot of weird shit since he wound up being forced into this life. It's pretty shitty, though hey, maybe it won't be as bad now that he's not alone?
He has a partner, but this is different. No offense to Connor, but he's a little too mechanical for the supernatural stuff. ]
I couldn't do that to you, man. [ Hank smirks, flashing Gavin some fang. ] I'm your alpha. Might not have this all figured out, but I'm not gonna mess it all up.
[ He has things to look out for now, at least... and maybe call his grandma.
Yeah, a partner. Just a partner in like, a work and werewolf sense!! Yup!! Totally! And oh no, a toothy grin... he gets goosebumps, heart giving a flutter. Shit. He's so fucked.
But he manages a smile in return. ] You would've had ever right to, the way I've acted. But... thanks. Really, I mean it. This is my one moment of sincerity a day, so you better pay attention.
[ That's totally it!!! Just. Werewolf partners. Packmates. Just. You know. Alpha things. This is normal. Definitely. Hank smiles. He knows Gavin talking about his emotions is about as rare as it is for him. Maybe that's why they kinda work together. As friends. Yep. ]
Alright, I'll make sure I remember that. [ Friends who blush and think the other is super cute. Yeah. ] And don't sweat it, it's the least I could do.
[ good thing they're almost at work and Hank is driving or he'd go for that neck offer, mister. Instead he just focuses real hard on the road. So hard. Yep. Not licking his lips or anything. ]
Yeah, don't tell anybody. Only you and Connor know my deep, dark secret.
[ Gavin's #1 fantasy at the moment is Hank just lovingly biting his neck until he trembles. Jesus, you turned him into a werewolf and made him super fucking kinky, Hank. ]
Don't worry, I'm good at keeping secrets. [ Obviously. ] 'Sides, it's fun being one of the only ones who knows something about you.
[ He's definitely saving that Real Name stuff for later. That is, if Connor wasn't waiting for them in the parking lot because He's Extra. Hank spots him and sighs, undoing his seatbelt and rolling his eyes. He wanted to enjoy Gavin's cute smile for a little bit, god!! ]
Looks like my parole officer's already holding the door for us. Better hurry up before he sicks the dogs on us.
[ it's definitely an android skill. Connor's way too direct, unlike your smooth, smooth moves, Gavin. ]
Sure, kid.
[ Hank smiles, bright and honest even as he watched Gavin get the fuck out of his car. Fuck, he's cute!! Fuck!! Oh, well, Hank does get out of the car and sighs. Connor greets Gavin as he runs past and waits for Hank to approach. ]
Captain Fowler wishes to speak to you about your behavior and absence. I explained that you and Gavin had... matters you needed to attend to, but that did not dissuade him.
[ Hank rolls his eyes and shrugs. It's fine. ]
Don't worry, I'll deal with Jeff. Thanks for the warning.
[ Connor smiles brightly, speaking under his breath for the next part. ]
I am glad you and Detective Reed have sorted out your boundaries. Your pheromone levels are at a much more normal level now.
[ Hank mumbles something like a "jesus, Connor" but just beelines it to Fowler's. No point in making him wait. ]

So he huffs and leans back into the seat. The little peak of his neck is genuinely unintentional this time. ]
Can't believe Hank Anderson is actually a huge softie.

Yeah, don't tell anybody. Only you and Connor know my deep, dark secret.

no subject
Right. You would know, Ezra.
[ Hank smiles. They've made it to the precinct, but Hank feels like lingering a bit. Too bad his phone is bound to start ringing again soon. ]
Gonna have plenty of secrets between us now.
no subject
Yes, he's definitely lingering too. He undoes his seat belt and scratches the back of his neck. ]
Yeah... [ He's giving you a cute smile, Hank. ] Seems like it. I'm okay with that.

Yeah, yeah. Back to the grind. [ Then, before they get out of the car. ] I'll bring dinner over tonight to repay you for lunch.
[ Oh wow look at him rush off into the precinct in record time!! ]
no subject
Sure, kid.
