[ Gonna be stuck together figuratively and literally quite a lot, it seems. He grins and dips a foot daintily into the water when he prompts, nodding. ]
Feels great. Now where are the bubbles, candles and mood music huh? [ He's being a shit. Dunk him, Hank. ]
[ Hank snorts, easing Gavin into the tub without stopping to let Gavin get used to it. And his head? Yeah, it's going underwater. Yeah, get used to a couple hundred years like this, Ezra. ]
There you go, princess. Now scoot -- make some room.
[ He laughs until he's dunked, although he looks thoroughly amused under the water. He surges up and wipes at his eyes, grinning. ]
Of course, your majesty. [ He scoots up so Hank can get behind him... you know he wants to lean into that big chest and soft tum. They both can probably just barely fit in here, two fully grown men broad in different areas. (Even though Hank has more leg than he does.) ]
[ Yeah, it's gonna be a tight squeeze no matter what, but Gavin makes Hank feel less embarrassed about this kind of thing. He seems to enjoy it, and for once, Hank doesn't have to disagree. He scoots in behind Gavin and sits down, legs and arms spread to envelop his beta. His legs barely fit but he's used to that. ]
[ He's still just grinning like a loon. Once Hank settles in, he scoots back and leans against his chest. Yes... good. Very good. He turns his head and shifts a little so he can kiss him proper. ]
Super comfy. [ With that, he dunks his hands in the water and brings them up to start rubbing at some of the blood still in Hank's beard. Something about helping clean his alpha... ]
[ Hank grins right back, enjoying the warm weight of Gavin's back and the sweet view of his neck. It's nice. Gavin's not exactly super short, but Hank is a big dude. The size difference really makes him feel like he can keep gavin safe with his body if he needed to.
Although he'd rather do other things with it, but he's no spring chicken. Even werewolves need a breather, and he's very much enjoying Gavin's hands in his beard. He starts to purr -- I mean, who doesn't love scritches? ]
[ Gavin's got a pretty good back, he'd definitely agree. Good definition, muscles and that tattoo making it something worth staring at. But Hank is Big and Gavin's been high key to low key quaking about it for literally years. Yet here he is... believe in your dreams.
He chuckles and keeps it up, unable to stop himself for leaning in and planting a smooch on his lips. ]
Maybe sometime I can give you one of those full body massages. Happy ending and everything.
[ Gavin's solid and strong and good for giving full-body hugs to. Hank's eyes flutter shut as Gavin keeps up the attention. Shit, he loves this. Who knew he could ever actually feel happy? Without intrusive thoughts to fuck with him? Incredible.
Hank wraps his arms around Gavin's midsection, leaning into him and smiling. He chuckles, that same rumbling in his chest deepening with the sound. ]
[ It's amazing, isn't it? He's got Hank and his brother back in his life... things are good. The best they've been since Gran died. And, yeah, he's a werewolf but semantics... it'll be fine. He's enjoying it, actually.
He scoots closer, goosebumps rising as he rumbles. Ah, he loves that sound. ]
Next day off. 'Cause we do have to go to work at some point, y'know.
[ The werewolf thing sucks way less when you don't have to do it alone, apparently. Who knew? ]
Jeff's gonna keep us both strapped to our desks for taking this much sick leave.
[ Hank snorts though. Fowler knows werewolf shit is a special case. He'd give them as much sick days as they needed, but Hank knows better than to push it too much. Plus, he respects Fowler.
He doesn't respect Elijah Kamski though, much as he might feel weirdly drawn to him what with being his mate's twin and all. ]
You think he'll send an android after us if you just never pick up?
Chloe's gonna come haul our naked asses out of the tub, probably. [ He's joking but... she might. Chloe's strong.
He goes back to scritching and smooching at Hank. He drags his hands down to his chest, tracing at his tattoo. ]
Take it from the guy who grew up with him, if you ignore him enough he gets bored and goes away. Wind gets taken outta his sails if he doesn't have an audience.
Yep. That's what happens when you're a lazy, spoiled crybaby. [ Yes that is Ezra's view of Elijah, the crybaby part is the most important. Oh the things little brothers know...
He reaches for some shampoo and since his own hair is wet, he starts to soap himself up. ]
Dunk your head, unless you want me to to turn the shower head on.
[ Hank laughs as soon as Gavin dunks him -- wow, they are such adults. But god, if it isn't the lightest Hank has felt in years. Hank shakes his head, splashing water everywhere (and on gavin, which is the goal here.) He doesn't even care that they're making more of a mess than Sumo usually does at bath time. Whatever!! He's spending time with his mate, it's all good.
The phone goes on ignored. Elijah must be pissed. ]
Yep. [ God they're insatiable... he starts to scoop up some water and run it through Hank's hair, humming a little. This is perfect...
...and then the phone rings again and it's an entirely different (and new) ringtone. Gavin's eyes shoot open and he dunks his head into the water like he was just told to watch out for flying bullets. He emerges and runs his hands through his wet hair. ]
Oh for fuck's sake, Eli— [ He climbs out of the bath, grabs a towel for his waist, and rushes back into Hank's room and answers the phone.
In Polish. ] Grandma! It's not too late for you, is it?
[ Well, that's sure a lot. Hank went from awesome head massage to -- well, he's not sure who or what Gavin's talking to, but it must be pretty serious. A family member, maybe?
Family. Hank knows what that's like. He just shakes his head and finishes rinsing off his hair. He has a feeling this phone call could get long. ]
Yeah, it's fine. Grandma. [ He heads back into the bathroom and settles down on the toilet, figuring this will take a bit and he doesn't wanna just drip in Hank's room. ]
So Elijah tells me you two finally believe our family's twin connections!!
[ Gavin sighs and rubs between his eyes. ]
Yes, Grandma, I've been meaning to call you... wait, is Eli on the line too?
I am. Since someone couldn't wait to stop having sex with his werewolf husband, I had to take matters into my own hands.
[ He sounds very pleased with himself, but there's a tell-tale edge of frustration to his voice that Ezra should recognize easily. ]
That Kamski? Damn, you got roped into a family conference call, huh?
[ Hank chuckles. Maybe he should get out of here and get dressed. Lord knows, his senses are definitely gonna pick up on everything being said, even if it is in Polish. ]
[ That makes Ezra (he's not Gavin right now) turn bright red. ]
Eli, for crying out— Grandma, I was gonna tell you! You know how Eli likes to butt in.
[ He looks at Hank and gives him an apologetic look. ]
Yeah, sorry. You finish up.
[ He hears babcia chuckle. ]
It's fine, my love! You know I'm not scandalized by anything. And there's no shame in being a werewolf, your great-great-great-uncle got bitten and he was the nicest man! Now, I know this is all about poor little Eli getting riled up when you're having fun—
[ Goodness she's a talker, but he loves his dear babcia. He just snickers. ]
I will not, thank you. I called specifically to avoid this.
[ Elijah groans on the line, clearly not wanting to dwell on the last 24 hours of his life. ]
Does the the connection get stronger? It was only this bad on the full moon before, but...
[ Eli groans, clearly not wanting to elaborate. Their grandmother laughs. Glad to hear someone is enjoying herself. ]
Werewolves are well-known for strong emotions, Eli dear. Your brother found himself a nice man and I'm sure you're feeling left out but that's okay. Perfectly normal, though you may want to ask this Hank fellow how he feels about...
[ Elijah cuts in. He doesn't need this!! He is the richest man in the world!! ]
[ Ezra laughs, tossing his head back. That's the thing about this side of their family, Eli's not 'man of the century' to them. Just Eli, one of the kids. He loves it. ]
I mean, I could see if he'd be up for taking you on a date for your birthday or something. Y'know, anything for his mate's family~
[ He's teasing, but what babcia says makes sense. He really has been feeling A Lot since Hank bit him, that combined with their enhanced connection. ]
Well, we didn't know we were mated at first. That probably has something to do with it.
[ Babcia makes a sound like she's horribly aghast. ]
Did your man not have an alpha of his own to teach him? How dreadful!

If Gavin's not worried, then he won't be. Gavin knows Kamski best, after all. ]
