[ 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!
[ Elijah rolls his eyes, it's somehow almost audible. ]
I'm glad you two are getting along again. I was worried about you, you know.
[ She's happy to hear from them both though. They're going to get calls from her. ]
Yes, babcia, I know... I'm sorry we haven't been in touch.
It's alright dear, I'm sure you've both been very busy. And Ezra, if your man ever has any questions, you can have him call me. I'm just glad to hear you're finally taking some interest in your family history. I always knew you and your brother were special.
Well, then I owe him a thank you, don't I? Your brother does too—have you thanked the man, Eli?
[ Elijah tries very hard to sound put out. He doesn't quite manage it, though. ]
Yes, I thanked him, Babcia. I saved Ezra's life just yesterday as well.
[ Yeah, he's gotta gloat. Of course he does, he's a Kamski. ]
Good, good! I'm glad my knowledge is being put to good use. You live quite the dangerous life, it's a wonder you haven't had to ask me for help sooner.
[ That's the Eli he knows and loves, never missing a chance to grandstand. He'll throw him a bone this time though. ]
Yeah, he did save me. I'm gonna have to help him sometime to make up for it. [ He laughs a little. ] And this is really the first time this kinda stuff has ever come up for us. I wish I'd listened better when I was a kid.
[ She tuts again. ] You had no way of knowing, I know you were told they were just my bedtime stories. Now, I'll send you both some care packages to help you out. And some notes for your love, Ezra. You'll have to send me a picture, he sounds quite dashing!
[ Ezra flushes a little. ] I uh, sure. Yeah, he is. Really handsome. Right, Eli~?
[ Both of them laugh. Ezra knows Eli only stutters when he's genuinely embarrassed... enjoy your mandatory crush on Hank Anderson, everyone gets one!! ]
I've missed how funny you two are together!
Yes, thank you Babcia. You're the best. I know Hank will appreciate it too.
[ Eli groans by way of a response. You're a horrible influence, Gavin!! Eli has no interest in embracing this crush that he knows is Ezra's fault! Pining for a married man, who do you think he is?? (You know that wouldn't stop him, though.) ]
Yes, hilarious. We love you too, Babcia.
[ He's clearly ready to hang up. But then Eli and phones have never gone together all that well, so he's probably about at his limit.
Meanwhile Hank has finished cleaning up and dried himself off, wrapping a tower around his waist. He's heard his name once or twice, but that's all he can make out. ]
You and your grandma roasting Kamski? Damn, wish I could understand it.
[ Ooh look at that handsome hubby. Gavin grins and nods, answering in English. ]
Absolutely. Say to Eli, Hank~ [ He's so obviously teasing.
And he's realizing now he definitely needs to finish cleaning himself up as well. ]
I'm gonna hang up now Babcia. You go ahead and send whatever you'd like, I'll pay for expedited shipping.
Oh don't worry about that, sweetheart! Babcia will take care of you all now. You go rest up and try to hold off until I can get you some things that will stop Eli from getting so frustrated! Ta!
[ And then she hangs up, Gavin just laughing. He scratches at his damp hair. ]
Please rest. You nearly died. Please give me one day to breathe, Ezra.
[ Maybe Eli sounds extra tired because of the sexual frustration but he finds he really does mean it. His brother goes from scaring the shit out of him to sending him uncomfortable sex vibes for Hank. A guy could get whiplash like this!! But he hangs up with that ominous message and a scoff. ]
Family, huh?
[ Hank snorts, smiling fondly as he watches Gavin. Or Ezra, really. He really lights up when he talks to his family. It's sweet. ]
[ Look at that tender expression on his face. He really did miss this. Gavin hangs up his phone and sighs, running his hands down his face and pulling it every which way for a moment. ]
Yep. Just as long as it's not my folks I'm fine with it. [ He huffs and gets up, putting his phone down on the back of the toilet. ] So Grandma's gonna send us some stuff, sounds like a werewolf care package. And she said if you ever have any questions you can call her.
[ He peels off his towel and starts heading back into the tub, this time for a proper shower. ] She knows English, for the record, she just refuses to speak it to us.
[ Hank had heard about this stuff but he was laying low for so long that it... never really pinged his radar to go looking. Were there even any witches in Detroit? Maybe he'll keep her in mind.
It's weirdly nice, feeling like he can reach out to Gavin's family. It makes it all feel real. Oh, yeah, they're definitely married. ]
That'll help, though. I don't wanna keep fucking up, not now that I've got you to take care of.
Guess she is. I just thought all grandmas were like that when I was a kid.
[ Before he turns on the shower head he tugs Hank over for a quick little smooch. ] Temporary hiatus on the ass touching until we get whatever she'd sending to keep Eli from having a nervous breakdown, alas. At least he can't say we've never done anything for him
[ He closes the curtain and then peeks his head right back out. ] And you haven't been fucking up, babe. It's fine.
[ All grandmas are witches? What kind of childhood did you have, Gavin? Hank laughs, shoulders slumping a bit at the ban on getting busy. To be fair, he can kinda get it. He might not like Elijah Kamski all that much, but the guy did save Gavin's life. Probably the least they can do is take it easy for a bit. ]
He oughta be sending us a care package, in that case.
[ Hank makes his way to the mirror and grabs some shaving cream. Gotta keep the look fresh for his hubby, ok? ]
Glad you think so. [ He smirks. Can't totally work out the self-deprecation overnight, sadly. ] It'd help if I knew what the fuck I was doing.
[ He turns the shower on and laughs. ] Yeah, send us a PlayStation or something.
[ Ooh, he smells that shaving cream... rude to shave when he can't watch, Hank. So rude. Meanwhile Gavin finishes cleaning himself up from their little escapades and gives himself a good scrub with the soap. He's gotten pretty good at fast showers over the years.
He finishes up and shuts it all off, opening the curtain back up and grabbing the towel. ]
Well, sounds like she's gonna send you a werewolf handbook or something. She's always obnoxiously thorough. You should've seen these sweaters she knitted for us when we were kids.
[ Hank snorts. A PlayStation? See, Gavin you're a kid. Just admit it.
But look, okay, a man's gotta shave and Hank's become pretty meticulous about his appearance now that he has someone to look nice for. He smiles from the sink, wiping his his face and looking much more trimmed. Hey, at least being mated has done wonders for his skin. ]
I bet you were fucking adorable in your grandma's sweaters.
[ Like the millennial has any room to judge!! He wraps the towel around his waist and climbs out of the shower.
Aw, look at that handsome guy. Gavin heads over and runs a hand across his bearded cheek, grinning. ]
I was super fucking cute. I'm sure she'll send some pictures. [ With that, he leans up to smooch him sweetly. ] Since we're in naked timeout, I think I'll head to my place and pick up some things.
[ He's gonna judge because he's a millennial, rest assured. He loves Gavin for all his stupid gen-Zness. And for his cute touch and tight ass. ]
Can't wait to see that. [ Hank leans into that smooch, grinning like he hasn't grinned in the last couple years. ] Sounds like a plan. Want me to drive you to the station, or give you a ride? Your car's still on the lot, but I could probably have Connor grab it for you.
Ah, that smile... enough to make him really feel like he's gonna live forever. He's leaning in to plant a few more on him before... oh right. His eyes widen a little. ]
Oh shit, my car, you're right. Wow, yesterday was a fucking blur. [ He rubs between his eyes as if he's suddenly fully remembering. ] Yeah, uh, should probably go get it. Be easier that way.
[ Connor's a good friend. And apparently their up and coming pack witch? Who knew.
He looks at the hand on his shoulder then back up at Hank, a genuinely soft and tender expression pulling at his face. Shit... he's really happy. Gavin leans in and wraps his arms around Hank's neck, pulling him in for a hug. ]

Yeah... we were lost for a bit, but it's fine now. I know I've been bad about calling.
[ She seems to affectionately tut. ] I know losing Miss Kathleen was very hard on you, Ezra. Babcia understands.

I know. Thank you. And I'll tell him. He didn't really have a chance to learn anything about being a werewolf. He just... saved my life.
