I'd hope not, after you turned me into a blood keg.
[ He watches his brother twirl and rolls his eyes. It's definitely weird: twin brother, full of his blood, smells like him, faintly smells like his mate. Weird!! That's not him, brain!! You're not looking in a mirror! ]
Yeah, she tried so hard to get me to wear sweaters. Just not my thing. You can keep 'em, they don't really fit me anymore anyway.
[ Since he's gotten a little broader since becoming a werewolf. Y'know, no shade. Or maybe just a little. Vampire bro with his skinny swimmers body. ]
[ Werewolves are extremely simple-minded, I'm sorry to say. Instincts can be fooled pretty easy when it comes to smells, and the three of them smell like home and safe and mate and it's making Hank's head spin.
Elijah cocks a smirk. He's not looking to look like a bro, Gavin. He's totally fine with the swimmer bod. ]
I'll take you up on that. I'm going to need more long sleeves from now on.
[ If nobody's gonna talk about it, Eli will. ]
By the way, was it a good idea for me to drink your blood, with the whole mate business? Because while I doubt it'll make me want to sleep with your alpha, I know I felt him in your head when I spoke to you, so it's becoming somewhat disorienting to make sense of whose thoughts are whose.
[ Gavin gets a little red and grinds his teeth together a little. ]
Look, I'd rather you feed on me and deal with this awkwardness than any alternatives, alright? I don't think it'd be a good idea to try to feed on Hank anyway. [ Pause. ] Not that I'd let you. [ Wow, that was some Wolfiness that just dropped out of his mouth there.
He clears his throat. ] Look, when my blood gets out of your system we'll see how it goes. I didn't exactly have the chance to research when you were passed out and I was worried about you.
[ Yeah, he'll just come out and say it whatever!! He was worried!! He loves you, Ellie. ]
[ Hank snorts. He's happy to hear that possessiveness in his tone. Of he'd known how confusing things were going to get with Elijah drinking from Gavin, he would've kept him from taking so much. ]
Just take it easy, Twilight. You might smell like Ezra, but you're not getting any of this.
[ Setting some ground rules that his alpha brain doesn't really agree with but, you know. He's trying. It makes Elijah laugh, though he's maybe even more jealous than ever. He can hide it. It's fine. They have more important matters to work on. Like, yes, his brother was worried. And he did survive quite the ordeal. ]
And I would have died there, without you.
[ Eli knows it too. He can feel it in their blood. He lays a hand on his brother's shoulder, smiling softly. Hey look, Hank is family now, he gets to see Elijah have feelings. ]
I can take care of things, if you'd like to spend some time with Hank. I will need your phone though. And some ear plugs.
[ Hands and fangs off his man!! This is his human brain saying this though even though the animal hind brain is still not seeing any problems with it. Ugh. Is there some fucking meditation he can do to get a better handle on this? They really need to make more werewolf friends.
He can feel that jealousy and for a second he doesn't know who felt it first. Fuck. This is gonna be weird until Eli needs to feed again, whenever that will be. A few days? A week? But aw. He smiles and puts his hand over Eli's, squeezing it. ]
You never have to do anything alone, Eli. What're twins for anyway? [ But then he winces and makes a face. ] No, that's okay, I think the mood's gone now. Probably for the best with all... this... in the air. [ He just makes a vague hand gesture between all three of them. ]
[ Yeah, it's getting really hard to tell who's who, Eli wasn't wrong. Mate bonds and twin bonds were not meant to intersect, clearly. It's a little much, at least for Hank. Elijah's dealing with so much new shit that he's just taking it all in stride. ]
To steal your husband and clothes, obviously. [ He grins. He's joking, obviously. ] Still, I can tell you're both quite tired. Why don't you leave me your phone and WiFi password and you can both go to sleep? I promise I won't run off. The sun should be coming up soon, anyway
[ Vampire senses, man. Hank can kinda get it—just like they can feel when the full moon is coming, Elijah can probably tell when it's about to be sunrise. ]
[ Gavin snorts. ] I have a laptop too, y'know, I'll let you have both. C'mon.
[ He gestures for Eli to follow him, heading into the living room. It had been rearranged to make room for Gran's piano. Sitting on the couch is his laptop which he gestures at. ]
You can figure out my password. [ 'elijahisaloser42069' ] And the password shit is on the router in the corner.
[ Then he turns to Hank, expression softening. ] Bed now, then?
[ He'd almost forgotten people still used those. But he won't complain (much) since all he needs is an internet connection to connect to his servers at home. He follows and sits down on the couch, masterfully ignoring how good it smells because it smells so much like Hank. It's fine. Elijah grabs the computer and sets it on his lap, crossing his legs and making himself at home. His brother's password should be easy enough to guess. He'll figure out the rest and be a pro by morning.]
Thank you. Sleep well and all that.
[ Hank takes Gavin's hand and smiles just as soft. Elijah tries not to let the jealousy show. ]
[ Eli waves them off and murmurs something like "try not to fuck" before the both of them are in their bedroom, closing the door behind them. Hank should probably be concerned that there's a vampire in his house but right now he really wants to kiss his husband so he does, leaning down to lay a nice solid smooch on Gavin's forehead. ]
[ Gavin rolls his eyes again. God, it's like being fourteen again and sharing a room.
It's nice to be back in the bedroom, around familiar and comfortable scents. Sumo and Mordy have been waiting for them and Mordy lets out a few honks in greeting. Gavin smiles up at Hank after he smooches him, slipping his arms around his husband's waist. ]
Much better than when this all started. If he's being annoying than he can't be feeling that bad. [ He leans in to nuzzle at Hank's chest with a little purr. ]
[ Hank rumbles a laugh and rests his arms over Gavin's shoulders, smiling even as Sumo steps up and joins in on the group hug. It's cute. They're a good pack. Everyone is safe now. His alpha hindbrain is at least happy about that. (Even if it's convinced that there's another mate of his outside the room.) ]
He'll turn this into a venture and make money off of it somehow. [ That's Elijah, alright. Though speaking of instincts... ] Maybe he can figure out a way to stop having to drink from you.
[ Aw, they're all so cute. Look at this happy family. Mordy peeps a little. ]
Yeah, I bet that's what he's working on right now. [ He pulls away and slips his hands to Hank's, bringing them up so his big palms are resting on both sides of his neck. Where Hank bit him and the healed over spot where Eli fed on him. ]
I know it's making everything feel all fucky but... until we work something out, I want him to feed on me. He doesn't want to hurt anyone, despite how he acts. He's always been more sensitive than me.
[ Ah, that's always comforting. It's a little weird to know someone else was biting on his mate, but to his nose it may as well have been the same person, so he's not upset or anything. ]
Well, he sure likes to play it tough. Reminds me of a certain somebody.
[ Hank presses against the mark and smiles. Nothing's going to get between them, certainly not something as ridiculous as his own brother-in-law. ]
You know I won't stop you. He's your twin and he needs you.
[ Gavin chuckles. ] He's always been the brains and I've been the brawn, pretty much.
[ He shivers a little at the press, welcoming the warmth after such a goddamn ordeal of a night. Sigh. Sorry Eli, he's indulging just for a second. ]
Yeah. It's better if it's me anyway. It shouldn't be for much longer, considering how fast he works. I'm sure he'll have a solution by next week. [ He turns to nuzzle his nose against Hank's palm. ] Now let's get into bed, I'm feeling like a little spoon tonight.
[ He snorts. ] I know. He smells like me. It's fucking trippy.
[ He's happily guided towards the bed, leaning into those warm and calloused hands he loves so much. Gavin hums and grins. ]
You know bed is a no shirt zone. [ He's teasing but serious. He reaches out to start fiddling with Hank's buttons. No sex but he still wants to touch!! ]
[ Hank smirks, sitting down on the edge of the bed and pulling Gavin down with him. He's not saying you smell weird, obviously. He loves the way you smell and taste and feel, Gavin. He happily lets Gavin undress him, even leans into his touch for good measure. If they can't have sex, at least they can cuddle skin-to-skin. ]
That rule applies to you too, buddy. [ Hank reaches over and grabs the hem of Gavin's shirt, ready to pull it over his head. ]
[ He's undone Hank's buttons by then, running his hands across his torso. Gavin grins. ]
I was gettin' to it. [ He lifts his arms up as his shirt is pulled off, sighing. He tugs at Hank's sleeves and peels it off of him. ]
Ugh, you're so hot. Not fair. [ He quickly shimmies out of his jeans and tosses them away before flopping onto the bed, beckoning his husband with a finger. ]
[ Hank shivers under the touch, releasing a soft sigh as Gavin runs his hands over him. Fuck, he's a lucky guy, marrying this. ]
I was kinda thinkin' the same thing.
[ He pulls his pants off and leaves them at the foot of the bed, following Gavin as requested. Yeah, so much for being the big, strong, alpha husband. ]
[ They're both super lucky. Gavin getting to wake up next to this hot guy every morning for the rest of forever, hnngh. ]
Just hold me tonight. [ He rolls into Hank's chest, pressing himself close. ] I'm gettin' the feeling I'm gonna have some weird dreams tonight, since Eli's creeping around in my head now. Just keep an eye on me.
[ Hank pulls him close nuzzling into the top of his head and purring softly. ]
I'll be here. [ Alpha will keep you safe. Even if it's from himself. And even if Eli smells like him and it's tripping him up. ] He might smell like you, but you're the one I married.
[ Hank happily cuddles up closer, wrapping an arm around Gavin to hold him in place. Hey, it's what he asked for. And Hank isn't about to give him up. He'll fall asleep like that, without a care in the world. ]
[ And it's a good thing he does because Gavin's dreams are absolutely wild. He fidgets and jerks around a few times, only subdued by Hank's arms and alpha aura. Dreams of their childhood, but from Eli's perspective. Wires, wires, thirium everywhere, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Chloe, funeral, Chloe, staying up for days making her AI...
Huh.
He eventually wakes up, utterly confused for a moment. He isn't sure if he's Elijah or Ezra for a few good moments, blinking the sleep out of his eyes. He remembers something Babcia said about grounding yourself and he clenches a fist so tight his nails press into his palm.
Right. He's Ezra. Gavin. Fell asleep in his husband's arms. He sighs and presses himself into whatever warmth is in front of him. ]
