[ Gavin takes a swig of coffee and looks at him over the edge. He puts it down, a little pink on his cheeks. He bites his warm lips cutely. ]

I mean... I could. If I can bring the cat too.

[ He's not giving up Mordy for anything, werewolf be damned. ]

[donotlick]

[ Fucking cute, jesus. Hank is blushing just looking at him. ]

I mean, I was kidding...

[ Was he? He's not really sure anymore either. He'll just take another bite to swallow the awkward pause. ]

But you could bring your cat if you wanted. I'm not gonna make you get rid of your pet, cat or not.

[coffeedipshit]

[ Yeah he doesn't buy that for a second but he's not gonna call you on it... yet. Gavin just sort of smirks and goes back to eating, spreading the egg yolk all over his meat. ]

It'd make things easier. [ He chews on a piece of meat for a moment as he looks into the living room. ] Could we fit a piano in here, y'think?

[donotlick]

Yeah. It would, huh?

[ Hank considers it. It sounds too good to be true, almost. Almost. Gavin's been a dream this whole time. He can almost believe he can have this. ]

Hm. Might take some rearranging, but... it's not like I have that much shit.

[ He'd make room for you, Gavin. ]

[coffeedipshit]

[ Isn't that what love is, in a certain way? Hank, you softie. Gavin just smiles and goes back to eating his eggs. ]

Shouldn't be hard. Your bed is big enough anyway. [ Chew, chew. ] Can have Eli donate some of my stuff I don't need.

[ He wonders what he'll think of it. Gavin knows his brother isn't Hank's biggest fan but... he knows how much he loves him. Even without their little twin connection shit. ]

[donotlick]

The bed thing clearly ain't a problem.

[ Considering... yeah. They were fine sleeping together last night. It feels a little ridiculous to think Elijah Kamski could be helping his brother move in with Hank. Is this real?

Hank pinches himself. Ow. Yeah, okay. He takes another bite of steak and nods. ]

Speaking of Kamski, I think I had a dream about him?

[coffeedipshit]

[ It's nice to not sleep alone, that's for sure. In Hank's arms, all warm and safe...

He snickers when he pinches himself. You're so cute Hank. Then looks up as he chews and raising a brow, swallowing. ]

So we're mated and then you dream about my brother, huh? I see how it is. [ He's clearly teasing though... and a curious look crosses his face. ] I had an interesting dream myself.

[donotlick]

It wasn't that kind of dream, don't get too excited.

[ Hank chuckles, shaking his head. God, he'd have considered it a nightmare if he ever dreamt of Elijah Kamski in that way. Sure, he and Gavin look a lot alike, but......

Wow, hearing Gavin just say "we're mated" sure made him smile. ]

What was it?

[coffeedipshit]

[ Ah, there it is. He loves that smile with all its gap toothed glory. He smiles back and picks up his mug—

—but sort of hesitates. He thinks... it was about Cole. He doesn't want to bring up any wounds; with all they've talked about, he's still never brought up his son much. ]

A bridge with a nice view. I know where it is but I haven't really been there much...

[donotlick]

[ Don't think Hank didn't miss that hesitation. Gavin's clearly lying but it's way too early to be calling shit out. It's cool, Hank can give him a little space. ]

Huh. So was it a bad dream or a good one?

[coffeedipshit]

[ He works his jaw a little bit... Hank's not made of glass, he knows this. He shouldn't treat him like he's fragile, even though he loves him so much.

So he exhales through his nose, rolling his shoulders. Looks down at his mug then back up. ]

Yeah, it was good. Happy. I think... it was about Cole. [ A pause. ] Like, is this a mate thing? You think? This can't be coincidence.

[donotlick]

Oh.

[ Hank stares at Gavin with some undiscerinable look in his eye. It's pain, yes, but it's older now. It isn't as raw.

And it was a good memory. That's... that's good. He looks down at his coffee, then back at Gavin, taking a deep breath. This kind of reminder would have ruined him before, but he's stronger now. Happier. Cole would want him to be happy, wouldn't he? Connor always said shit like that. ]

Must be. I don't usually have dreams about Kamski—much less when you guys were kids.

[coffeedipshit]

[ He doesn't have to have a supernatural connection to him to figure what he's feeling right then. Gavin has his own grief but he wouldn't ever claim to understand a fraction of Hank's.

Cole was a good kid. He deserved to grow up to be a good man. It's cruel.

But he smiles and takes another big swig of his coffee. ]

There are much easier ways to get at my brother's fortune anyway. [ Tease, tease. He looks back up though, a brow raised. ] Kids? What were we doing?

[donotlick]

[ Better to just move past it. Well, not that he's ignoring it, but he doesn't want to dwell, either. Gavin's childhood will be way less traumatic to talk about. ]

Putting together some kinda puzzle. Looked really fucking complicated for how small you were, but you know.

[coffeedipshit]

[ Gavin manages a little snicker at that, around a mouthful of egg. ]

I've been told we were pretty smart kids. [ He swallows and looks back down at his food, then up at Hank. ] So... I guess this is part of it?

[donotlick]

Guess so.

[ Hank shakes his head, taking another bite of his steak. It should freak him out more than a little bit, but he trusts Gavin. They're already keeping each other's biggest secrets. What're a few more? ]

It's a good thing I love you, because this shit could get awkward quick.

[ Uh, well, there it is! ]

[coffeedipshit]

[ He's taking another big swig of his coffee when Hank says it. He almost chokes but instead ends up with chipmunk cheeks full of coffee... Gavin stares at him wide eyed.

Then swallows slowly and wipes at his mouth. And then breaks out into a face splitting grin. ]

Aw. You love me!

[donotlick]

[ Hank chokes, turning bright red. He should know better than to fall for Gavin's dickishness but jesud christ, he didn't mean to just blurt it out like that. ]

Sh-shut up, asshole, like you didn't say the same shit to me a dozen times last night!

[coffeedipshit]

Yep, I did. [ He's grinning, but he's elated. So elated. His heart wants to burst. Gavin's expression softens and he gently touches his mark, so Hank knows how he really feels. ]

I was hoping you'd say it. I love you too.

[donotlick]

Oh. Well, yeah... I mean. Obviously.

[ Obviously, Hank says, still breathing a sigh of relief when he feels that rush of affection through their bond. ]

I love you, you jerk.

[coffeedipshit]

[ Hank, you're so cute. And he loves you so fucking much. Gavin can't stop smiling as he goes back to his food. ]

Good. Now let's finish eating so you can pin me to the wall for a while, yeah?

[ He's acting silly but he's so elated. Hank loves him! Hank Anderson loves him. Someone pinch him. ]

[donotlick]

[ Hank smiles. Fuck, it's great seeing how happy Gavin is. He doubts he's ever made anyone this happy before -- Beth doesn't even cross his mind with how sweetly Gavin looks at him. ]

Alright. [ Hank chuckles. He takes a large bite of his egg at that. ] Sounds good to me.

[coffeedipshit]

[ Gavin just grins at him and works on finishing his food. He may be noticeably doing it a little faster than he had previously. Look, he's naked except for Hank's shirt right then... he's Prepared.

So he shovels the rest of his egg into his mouth and swallows. ]

I'll need to go check on Mordy but I can stay for a few days. If you'd like.

[donotlick]

[ Yeah, Hank scarfs his down pretty quick. He's got one thing on his mind right now and it's not food. ]

Uh, yeah. I mean... [ Shit, okay, that's one more thing to think about. Does he actually want Gavin to leave? No. Is it mostly instinct? Yes. ]

You don't have to stay. I'm really not gonna force you, or use my influence or whatever.

[coffeedipshit]

[ Wink, wink.

He finishes off his food and wipes at his mouth, going to finish off the last of his coffee. Having bone shattering werewolf sex certainly makes a guy starving. But he looks back at Hank when he's done, raising a brow. ]

You haven't forced me to do a goddamn thing, Hank. [ He puts his elbows on the table, resting his chin on his folded hands. ] Newsflash dumbass, I've been in love with you the entire time. Of course I've wanted to be close to you.
