[ Really, Hank is the true winner in this whole thing. How come they let you have two mates, Hank?? One would die for you and the other has more money than god?? ]
Pretty much. Just take it as it comes. Don't sweat it, Eli.
[ wow, okay, Hank using a nickname on Elijah sure makes him blush. Maybe now's a good chance to break out of the group hug and work on that coffee!! ]
Yes, you should eat. I'll help you if it really is too much trouble.
[ Please, Elijah can barely cook, don't let him touch the stove. Everything in his house is Smart and cooks things perfectly so he'd fuck it up here. ]
[ Hank Anderson you're so spoiled!! After all you've been through you deserve it for sure.
Gavin snickers as Eli tries so hard to hide how cutely he blushes. Aw, bro. Well, the cuddle pile had to end eventually. So he just leans into Hank's chest and wraps his arms around his middle. Soft, fuzzy husband...
[ Sorry, can't hear you over the sound of making coffee, Ezra!! Elijah puts way too much effort into the simple action while he just scoffs at Ezra's completely factual accusation. Whatever, bro!! Shit, he is kinda cute though. Even Hank is starting to think so. Fuck. Elijah Kamski is not supposed to be cute.
Instead Hank wraps his arms around Gavin and kisses the top of his head, smiling down at him. You're cute too, buddy. ]
[ Mwaha, now more people know you're cute Eli. You can't hide from the truth forever. Gavin lifts a leg up as Hank smooches his head, leaning into him. ]
I was thinkin' a big bacon-y omelette. And watch out for Eli's coffee, it's more like syrup.
[ Elijah starts the coffee machine and rolls his eyes. At least now that he's had a fair share of cuddles he isn't deeply jealous or weirdly wounded to see Hank give Ezra more attention. ]
Bacon and eggs're my favorite.
[ Hank is totally just going to grab Gavin under his arms and pick him up like he weighs nothing at all. This is a move at a hug, obviously, but he also carries him to the fridge because it kinda looks like he needs the help. Once he has carefully deposited Gavin there, he kisses his head and turns his head toward Elijah. I guess he's just juggling both of them now. Life's good. ]
[ Oh baby, he loves it when you grab him and pick him up. He just grins up at him after he deposits him in front of the fridge. ]
I'll get right on it then.
[ The eggs are already out, abandoned on the counter, so he gets the bacon out and heads back over. Time to crack a bunch of eggs and whisk them the hell up. Now go give Eli some attention, hubby, he'll like that. Whisk, whisk. ]
[ Yep, Hank knows Gavin's a big fan of being man-handled. Probably helps that it reminds him just how strong his husband is. You're so transparent, Ezra.
Elijah rolls his eyes and serves them both coffee -- making sure Hank's is extra strong, of course. ]
I don't usually make coffee for anyone besides myself.
[ Which is both a brag and also a caveat. He's suddenly nervous about whether or not Hank will like it? Hank's honestly not that picky. Coffee always tastes better when someone else is making it. He grabs his mug and takes a sip, sighing contentedly. ]
Don't sweat it, Eli. That's good shit.
[ Elijah smiles, turning around to hide his obvious blush. He's a grown man. This is ridiculous. ]
[ So very~ Gavin accepts the coffee as he starts to pour the eggs into the pan to start making omelettes. And bro... you're so cute, what the fuck. He can sense your adorable flusteredness and it's the cutest thing he's ever seen.
He takes a swig of his and nods. ]
Yeah, it's good stuff. [ Now he's tossing a ton of bacon into the eggs. ]
[ Elijah is a grown man!! He's definitely not cute!! But Hank's smile makes him smile and he seems to have no problem stimaching coffee so far so that's a win. Meanwhile Hank is observing that bacon with some serious intent. He's good. Food's good. The coffee's good. Honestly, maybe having two mates could be pretty nice. It doesn't have to make people sense if it makes werewolf sense.
Elijah takes another sip of his coffee. It occurs to him that it's strange to wake up with his brother and husband as opposed to Chloe's calm, even tone. He makes a mental note to call Connor later as well. ]
We likely should. This isn't something she should hear over text.
[ Is it weird to be okay with sharing your husband with your brother? Because he's growing increasingly more okay with it... maybe not threesome okay with it but like. If Eli needs a cuddle he won't have a problem with it. Hell, their bed is plenty big enough.
He sees you eyeing the bacon, Hank. Gavin grins and tosses him a piece with the spatula to tide him over. ]
Yeah. It's gonna be a conversation, that's for sure.
[ They are definitely too close to each other, but once you've shared your blood and your soul, what else is there besides your husband, really? Hank doesn't mind and Elijah will take what he can get.
I mean, Hank's easy to please. He grabs the bacon and chomps it down in two big bites, licking his lips and fingers for the yummy grease. Hey, being a werewolf means he can eat as unhealthy as he wants! Luckily for Elijah, the smell of the food doesn't do much for him anymore. He's still too full to be hungry, and as good as Hank smells, he knows he's off-limits. So he'll just drink his coffee and sit down at the table to watch them eat. ]
Please tell her this wasn't some ploy of me trying to follow you. Somehow I'm sure that'll be the first thing she assumes.
[ Maybe after they've all lived a real long time and gotten bored... who knows what will happen. For now, Eli is free to cuddle and snuffle and maaaaybe kiss his husband on the cheek.
Gavin finishes up the food and brings over both plates to the table, for Hank and himself. He settles down and starts to munch away. He's!! So hungry!! This is definitely leftovers from being a blood snack.
He snorts. ] I will, I will. And to be fair, you might have done that. [ Pause as he shovels eggy bacon into his mouth. ] Having any trouble drinking coffee?
[ Please only spew into the sink, not the table, if you need to bro. ]
[ He'll settle for playing footsie and rubbing his foot up against Hank's ankle. Scandalous. Hank can tell it's not Gavin but you know what?? Food. Food is here and it's great. Hank may not have given any blood yesterday but he's an alpha and he kinda needs to eat. A lot. ]
I would have done a better job than this. [ He would've done way more research first, for one thing. ] And vampires have tons of drawbacks, it certainly wasn't my first choice.
[ But yeah he thought about it. Obviously. He rolls his eyes. ]
Nothing yet. If I start bouncing off the walls, I suppose we'll know what to blame.
[ Yeah, wow, Hank could get used to this. He gives them each a look but ends up smiling as he takes another bite. He's definitely getting spoiled so he's got no idea what this is supposed to feel like but it's... nice. Weirdly nice. Gavin doesn't seem to mind and Elijah's clearly just hungry for any kind of attention so. This is pretty sweet.
Plus, given that he's the alpha, he could probably put either of them in their place if things got out of hand so it's all good. ]
I would have figured something out.
[ Elijah scoffs, taking another sip of his coffee. He really hopes it doesn't make him sick. Please, just give him this... ]
I wonder which of us is faster now? Is that a thing, "are vampires faster than werewolves?"
[ Too bad Hank doesn't have Alexa or they'd know. ]
Gavin is still grinning. ] You would have. At least now you don't have to upload your brain into an android body, right?
[ He goes back to munching on his breakfast, very glad that his hunger is being satiated. It uses up a lot of energy having to replace half of your blood in an evening!! ]
We're definitely gonna have to practice and figure out what you can do. Like, since you showered I'm guessin' the 'vampires can't be around water' thing is crap.
[ He might, if you kids can't keep it in check. We'll see!! ]
In about three more years, I could have.
[ Eli's not missing a beat, even as he keeps stroking Hank's legs with his toes. He doesn't even look up from his coffee. Of course he was planning to upload himself into a robot, he's Elijah Kamski. ]
We should consider creating list -- especially while I have you, in case I get injured by anything. I'm not exactly a fan of live tests but I doubt anything too scientific will yield different results.
[ Though he'd way rather put a sample in a slide and stick it under the sun, the magic probably stops working as soon as it leaves his body. He'll have plenty of time for that in his own home. ]
Crossing bodies of water will be the biggest one. I'd hate to be land-locked for the rest of my... however long.
[ Well, needing to be invited in but that's probably not a thing right? ]
[ See, Gavin's not even surprised. He's expected his brother to do something like that since they were like nine years old. ]
Yeah, good idea. You haven't felt the urge to count shit, have you? Or feeling like you wanna turn into a bat? [ He's mostly kidding, but still, you never know. ] We're definitely not testing a stake through the heart just in case though.
That might be more Hank's area than mine. At least, that's how it seems. [ So far all he's managed is big teeth, a slightly distorted face with lots of extra hair all around and some massive claws.
Aw... it is. Ezra drops his hands and looks over at him all sweetly. It's the way it is... but that's also romantic as shit. ]
Makes sense. That's how it feels to me too. [ Forever bound. He leans forward and smooches his husband on the cheek just because. ]
[ Hank makes a face. Gavin's grandmother did say something like that was possible, but he hasn't tried it out or anything. There hasn't really been any need to -- it's not like he can travel somewhere faster on foot than he can by car. ]
Not really interested in being a furry, thanks.
[ Hank....... no. You can't say shit like that and the say serious shit and get kisses and just -- well. It's Hank. What can you do? He smiles as Ezra kisses him, closing his eyes to purr (very softly.) ]
Might be I'm gettin' stronger as we nail down this pack thing but it's not like I'm super interested in starting a gang or anything. Just you guys and Connor is enough for me.
[ That makes him cackle. ] You mean you don't have a hidden FurAffinity account? I'm shocked.
[ Have another nuzzle and smooch before he pulls away and goes back to his food. ]
Yeah, I think we just need to make sure no bad shit happens in the city. Which, I mean, we already do anyway. We just gotta figure how the fuck you find out about the spooky underworld or whatever you wanna call it. We're painfully out of the loop.

At this point, it'd be pretty ridiculous to be freaked out by much of anything.
[ And then Gavin's stomach gurgles again and he sighs. ] But I also really need breakfast apparently.

Can't really see you as a werewolf either. Too much hair, you'd hate it. [ He grins a him, leaning his elbow on the table as he eats. ]
Yeah, please don't get too hyper. I don't wanna have to chase you around the house.
[ He's totally getting in on that footsie action, rubbing a foot against Hank's other ankle. Prepare to be so very spoiled, Hank. ]

[ Is a bat really that weird? Hmm? He shakes his head though. ]
I'm fairly sure anyone would die from a stake through the heart. Except perhaps Hank.
[ Hank shrugs, agreeing through a bite of bacon-omelette. Don't ask him how he knows this -- it's an alpha thing. ]
Ezra too. He'd survive.
no subject
[ He takes a few sips of his coffee as they talk about stakes through the heart. Aw. He puts down the mug then puts both his hands over his heart. ]
Because my love for you just makes me that strong, huh~? [ He's being a shit. ]
no subject
[ Elijah rolls his eyes. ]
I doubt garlic will do much. But we can try if you're really determined about it.
[ Hank nods. This is definitely some deep breakfast talk, but, yeah. ]
You're my mate. Long as I'm alive, you're alive. That's... kind of just the sense I get.
