Funny how Kamski went and made CyberLife blue.

[ Hank smiles, warm and bright as Gavin scrolls through each page of photos. It reminds him of Cole's own photos, hidden and gathering dust somewhere in his garage.

Yeah, let's not go there. Focus on how embarrassing this is for Gavin instead. ]

Aw, I think they're cute. You look so adorable.

[coffeedipshit]

Probably an act of defiance or something. [ He doesn't want to think too hard about what that could mean...

Ugh god, he's so embarrassed. But Hank calling him cute is... nice. ]

Yeah, probably the only time I ever was. [ There they are posing with some science fair trophies. Aaaand there's the point when they started cutting Ezra's hair short, keeping Eli's long.

Suddenly there are two separate class photos, both boys not in the same one anymore. Gavin sighs a little. ]

[donotlick]

[ Sure, buddy. Sure. ]

Eh, I dunno about that.

[ Which is as close to calling Gavin "cute" as Hank feels comfortable getting, what with the two of them being in Elijah Kamski's house and Hank Definitely Not Having A Feelings for Gavin. Besides platonic ones.

The split and the difference is pretty obvious, though. ]

Aw, what happened? This when they pushed your brother ahead or something?

[coffeedipshit]

[ Totally. It's all platonic!! Gavin still isn't putting a name to what he feels, haha! It's good he's already flustered though so it's not obvious. (Hold him and tell him he's pretty, Hank.) ]

Yeah. And I dunno who started it, if it was them or a teacher, but they started thinking I was cheating off of Eli or something. So they split us up.

[ Yet amazingly, he was still doing just as well. He ended up getting kind of... forgotten for a few years. Until his acting out from boredom couldn't be ignored anymore.

More pictures, a little older. Eli in a graduation gown with Ezra's arm around him, grinning brightly. They definitely both have braces. ]

[donotlick]

Buncha assholes.

[ Hank shakes his head. He obviously thinks Gavin's parents are assholes, but at least Gavin still manages to look happy in the pictures he has with his brother. ]

Shit, look at you guys. You must've really missed him, huh?

[coffeedipshit]

Yeah... things might have been different if we weren't separated like that.

[ Another picture, them sitting at a table with a lot of wires and circuit boards and other tech things strewn about. Ezra's the one with his feet on the table, so at least that hasn't changed. ]

I was just humoring him at first. Robots, right?

[donotlick]

Eh, don't worry about it now. It's in the past.

[ Hank shrugs, poring over this latest picture. Yep, it's easy to see where Kamski got started. Though Hank's never been huge on technology, it's pretty crazy to think that these are the baby pictures for the richest man on earth. And Gavin. ]

Yeah. Robots. Who would've thought?

[coffeedipshit]

[ He takes a deep breath and sighs. The pictures aren't much now, since Ezra avoided his family even before he left. But there's one right at the end, surprisingly of Gran. His dear Gran. It's obvious she was a classy and artsy lady, all dressed to the nines with her hair and nails done.

She's got an arm around Ezra's shoulders, resting her chin there. He's probably around thirteen at the time, beaming. Gran looks very cheeky, like she just said something that made his parents look pissed. ]

Aw, Gran. I'm surprised Mom had any pictures of her.

[donotlick]

That's her, huh?

[ Hank rests a hand on Gavin's leg, giving him the comfort he no doubt needs. It's clear Gavin's grandmother was important to him. By the sound of it, she gave him his own life outside of his brother. She looks like the kind of badass grandma anyone would be lucky to have. ]

You must've been her favorite grandkid.

[coffeedipshit]

[ He laughs and closes the book. ] Definitely. She let me move in with her overnight, after all. I think she was just waiting for me to decide to leave.

[ He turns to look over at Hank... they're awfully close. Ah. He wants to kiss him. So he bites his lip instead. ]

[donotlick]

Family's good like that.

[ They are awfully close, aren't they. And Chloe seems to have given them some privacy. Hm. Suspicious.

Shit but Gavin looks nice, biting his lip like that. ]

The family that actually gives a shit, I mean.

[coffeedipshit]

[ Very suspicious... Gavin just. Leans in a little more. Y'know for science and stuff. ]

Yeah... who knows where I would have ended up. Probably been a CyberLife drone and hated my life.

[donotlick]

[ Hmmm, Hank is looking down at Gavin's lips. The urge to take him is starting to get louder and hard to ignore... ]

You would've been fucking miserable.

[ And he never would've met Hank! ]

[coffeedipshit]

[ Maybe if he like... bites then and licks them... gets them all plump and shiny. You know. For reasons. ]

Yup. And missed out on all this fun.

[ His heart hurts at the thought of never meeting Hank, it's true. And Connor. And Chris and Tina. Fuck, when did he get so sentimental? ]

[donotlick]

That's one way to put it, yeah.

[ Fuck!! Fuck. Hank can't stop staring. The pull to just kiss Gavin is too strong. because kissing is definitely what he wants right? Oh, yeah. Sure. He leans in and reaches over to cradle his jaw, kissing him.

Hank's weak!! And alpha instincts are strong!! That's definitely all it is. ]

[coffeedipshit]

[ Oh baby!! He leans in, fluttering his eyes closed and humming sweetly. Gavin shifts a little and rests a hand on his chest.

Wow, making out on his brother's couch. Gotta make up for all the typical high school things he didn't get to do, he guesses. He sneaks his hand up to Hank's collar, finding the little peek of chest hair... Hank you're so hot, god. ]

[yourmaker]

[ Damn, feeling him up and everything? Hank can't say he minds it. He just leans in further, tilting Gavin's head to get a better angle and--

And Elijah Kamski steps into the room. With snacks. ]

Really, Ezra? Really? In my own home?

[coffeedipshit]

[ ...oh right his brother's couch means his brother is there. With a startled little noise he pulls away, although his lips are very obviously kiss bruised. ]

I uh. Well, you were taking too long...!

[ Yeah that's an excuse. ]

[yourmaker]

[ Hank coughs, sitting up straight and turning a little pink but thankfully he's not the one making out at his brother's house. ]

I was, very graciously, going to see how you were doing. But the two of you need a bit more privacy you could at least have dimmed the lights.

[ Because now he has the mental image of Hank Anderson kissing his brother!!! It's never going to leave his brain! ]

[coffeedipshit]

[ He stands up and heads over to his brother. ]

No, we're fine. It's fine. Here, let me help you with that.

[ He grabs for the snacks just as his stomach makes a noise. Damn werewolf appetites. ]

[yourmaker]

[ Hmm, yeah he read about you being hungry since you just got turned. Elijah Kamski works fast. ]

I'm sure you are.

[ He hands the food over, smirking. He knows what's up now, it's clear by the grin on his face. ]

I was going to ask how you've been doing, seeing as how the Lieutenant was your alpha, but I can see for myself now.

[coffeedipshit]

[ God, his attraction to Hank overrides any common sense of his. He's never gonna hear the end of this. He makes a grumpy face and heads back over to the couch with the food. ]

So you're a werewolf encyclopedia after thirty minutes, huh?

[yourmaker]

I've worked out the basics.

[ He smiles, still so happy to know Everything. Even the way Hank grabs a snack off the plate seems to make him grin.

Man, if Elijah knew that he knew more than even Hank, he'd never shit up. ]

It helps having the real thing to compare it to. Though you'll have to tell me if you turn into a wolf on the full moon.

[coffeedipshit]

[ That's definitely good... That's gonna be a trip, huh? He snorts. ]

I haven't, thankfully. [ ...then he looks at Hank. ] Wait, have you?

[donotlick]

[ Hank rolls his eyes. Leave it to the Kamskis to make everything so dramatic. ]

No. That's not a thing, as far as I know.

[ Hank doesn't know much but at least he sounds confident? He's gotten used to bullshitting I guess. ]
