[ Ezra has nice dreams, mostly memories. Some from his perspective and others from Eli's. A sprinkling of Hank's for good measure. He just stays curled up, eventually tangling their legs together and holding him closer. Their hearts are beating in tandem.
When Hank walks in, it tugs at something in him and he starts to stir. He pries open his eyes sleepily and turns to look at his husband. Ezra smiles. ]
[ Elijah adds, scooting to give Hank some room to come cuddle in between both of them. Awful bold of Eli to assume Hank wants to cuddle him, but Hank's nose can fall for anything when Eli's fresh off of his brother's blood. Once again, it's two mates for the price of one. Hank shakes his head. He's too endeared to care. He didn't marry Gavin for nothing. He'll take him even like this, weird brother attached and all. Speaking of weird brothers, his just happens to be sporting a bite mark on his neck. Huh. ]
Looks like you guys had more than just a brotherly argument. Everything alright?
[ Hubby!! He reaches for Hank, wanting to press close. His instincts are already purring at the thought of having his mate and brother here while he's healing. So safe, so warm. ]
And he needed more blood after. But it's all good now.
[ Hank hums, somehow understanding exactly what Gavin means. I mean, sometimes you have to bite someone to calm them down. Thankfully Gavin's just a beta so he's not about to accidentally cross the streams more than they've already done, but like... they're sharing a soul so it's not like they can get any more entwined at this point. The whole thing makes Hank's head hurt a little bit when he thinks about it, so he doesn't.
Hank lays down between them, pulling Ezra into his arms and cuddling him close enough to kiss his mark. Yep, that's his mate. And he's safe, even if he probably lost a fair amount of blood. Hank's alpha instincts are very pleased. Especially when Elijah scoots in closer and cuddles in from behind. Hank purrs softly, relaxing into his mate(s?). This is exactly what he needed after a long day at work. ]
Long as you too aren't causing any trouble. I'm not against grounding you kids.
[ Just gotta bite your ridiculous vampire bro and get his head back on straight. Now he's officially part of the Pack and everything.
Once Hank is in bed, he eagerly snuffles into his chest and starts to purr loudly. Yes, perfect. He listens to his steady heartbeat and sighs. Something about proximity to the alpha makes his healing kicking up a notch in speed and he instantly feels a little less groggy. ]
Us, causing trouble? Never. [ The bite wounds on his neck are starting to finish healing over. Is it weird that he almost wishes they'd leave a permanent mark? ]
[ Guess that's the new pack initiation now. Get those teeth ready for Connor, Gavin. Elijah really does feel more connected to them now though. Hank could probably sense him anywhere if he tried. Man, those alpha powers get weirder and weirder.
Still, Hank smiles and starts to pet Gavin's back, soothing slow circles as he purrs so sweetly. Wow, he's just the best mate ever?? And his brother is purring too and Hank loves them so much?? Even Elijah, with Ezra's blood, feels a little better now that Hank is here. His bite wound has all but healed, leaving a light scar in its wake. Oh, people are gonna talk. ]
Surely you know us better than that, Hank.
[ Elijah grins, wrapping an arm around Hank's middle and staying just as close. Hey, if Ezra wants a scar maybe he'll just have to keep biting him. That's not a problem. ]
I'll just bet. You boys are too good for that, is that right?
[ Why aren't Gavin's arms big enough that he can hold both of them??? Rude. But Hank's warm hands on his back are very nice and he just sighs. Color is starting to return to his cheeks, as he'd gotten a little pale after losing all that blood. ]
We've always been lil' angels, ever since we were kids. Never done one thing wrong.
[ So obviously full of shit. Gavin finally turns his head up to look at Hank, smiling. ]
Hey. Sorry I bailed like that but Eli was like ten minutes away from having a meltdown.
[ Hank leans down and kisses the top of Gavin's head, rumbling deep in his chest as he feels him heal under his touch. Hank would give him blood if it would make him feel better. He'll do anything for his mate. ]
Right. Not even once.
[ But Hank is smiling too, staring down at Gavin like he's the best thing he's ever seen. ]
I know. Your brother's fragile. [ Eli mutters an "excuse me" from behind Hank. ] Family comes first.
[ He preens at the attention, his smile turning into one of his usual grins. His eyes swirl with amber for a moment. ]
So fragile. I always gotta look out for him. [ He's teasing, obvious. But the sentiment is true, he will always be there for him. He'll never make the mistake to not again. ]
Eli was figuring out his powers, he can do some cool shit.
Please. I'm the one who's supposed to be looking out for you.
[ They both know that's bullshit though, Gavin gets seniority by virtue of being a beta. Which is rude, in Elijah's opinion. Hank just chuckles, cuddling closer to Gavin and pulling Elijah's arm in closer too for good measure. They're both invited, he's not missing out on a free mate tbh. ]
Yes, I was giving the malleability of smoke a try. It seems I don't have to keep a physical form to fight, so that's rather interesting.
[ Gavin laughs at that. ] Yeah, as our plumber. We discussed this.
[ He's being a shit and he sobers quickly, looking back up at Hank. He brings a hand up to gently run through his beard. ]
I know biting is more your thing but I figured it'd be better if I did it? It just seemed like the right thing to do... I think he'll have an easier time getting a handle on himself too.
[ Elijah grumbles again, rolling his eyes like "we will definitely argue about this more later, rest assured." He figures Hank and Ezra's talk is a little more important, so he won't be a little bitch like he'd like to. ]
Yeah, I know. [ Hank leans into Gavin's touch, calm and reassuring. It's hard to worry about anything when he's being held and surrounded by his two mates. Mate and a half? Whatever. ] It's not like we're going with whatever 'rules' we're supposed to be following for pack shit, so don't worry about it. You're my mate. We're part of each other. Your brother's part of you, too.
[ Hank can feel the connection, too. Then again he and his husband aren't exactly known for thinking things through here. ]
[ They're definitely a leap before they look kind of pair. It's probably why they work so well together.
Gavin leans in to smooch Hank softly, purring under his breath. ]
I'm sure we're the most scandalous pack in the country, but who gives a shit? This is better anyway. At least another coven won't try to steal him away now.
[ Can't be thralled if you've got a mark... probably. Hopefully. It feels like something he instinctively Knows, even if he's never been taught it. Mark what's yours, what you want to protect. ]
[ Hank smirks, soaking up those purrs and kisses that his mate is sweet enough to give him. ]
We're the best pack. Anyone thinks otherwise, they can fuck off.
[ That's an Alpha Promise, alright. Elijah nods along, raising a hand to brush the fresh scar on his neck. He feels safer now. Grounded. He may be a vampire, but he has his pack. ]
[ Ezra feels Eli touch his mark and he closes his eyes, sighing. Ah, that must be what Hank feels... or at least something similar. He's not an alpha so the connection probably isn't quite as strong. Still, now they really won't ever have to worry about Eli getting in trouble again. Good.
Gavin snickers at that, still lovingly looking at his husband's face. ]
Yep. You're stuck with us forever now. I think you'll manage.
[ Yep, sharing the same soul just wasn't enough. Now big bro can check in whenever he wants. Elijah doesn't need wolf-senses to know that connection is there, he can feel it deep in his soul, for all that his heart's only beating thanks to his brother's blood.
It's how things should be. He cuddles closer, letting himself relax and lean into his alpha, his brother's mate, and just the sound and smell and feel of them here, in his home. He will be fine. He won't hurt anyone.
Neither Ezra nor Hank would let him. Hank chuckles. ]
One Kamski wasn't good enough, I just had to lock in both.
[ All of this Alpha Affection has sped up his healing and he's suddenly full of energy again. And hungry, but he's always hungry at this point. He perks up more and leans in, smooching Hank again, this time a little more intensely. He nips at his bottom lip when he pulls away. ]
Yup. Richest man in the world and the one with the nice ass. [ Shut up Ezra. ]
[ Hank can definitely feel the way Gavin's all healed up. It's nice to know that it's thanks to him -- he could have taken the pain and healed him faster, but he also really likes cuddling with his mate so it seems like an even trade-off. The loss of blood wasn't life-threatening, it looks like Eli's getting better at that too. ]
Can't argue with that.
[ Elijah scoffs. Don't deny it, bro, you got no figure. Hank kisses back, reaching over to stroke the mark on Gavin's neck. This is getting a little dangerous considering his husband's brother is like, right there. The threesome dreams are one thing, but they probably shouldn't try anything while laying in Eli's panic basement.
Elijah meanwhile has the weirdest urge to just... watch them make out because that's what happens when you're full of your twin brother's blood, your body kind of goes "hey Hank kissing Ezra is pretty much the same as getting kissed, isn't that great?" Instincts are weird. Of course he's still Elijah Kamski so he has to be a shit about it. ]
[ Eli's always been twiggy and now he's got a permanent, slim swimmer's bod. It's what happens when you steal your twin's height in the womb!! Which is totally what happened, shut up.
He purrs at the touch and leans into it. Very dangerous... Eli can probably get a wave of it from their connection. His blood is singing with his love for his mate and said blood is also in his brother's veins.
So.
Gavin snickers and kisses Hank, nuzzling. ]
Sorry Eli, you're not getting a free show. You'd like it too much.
Trust me, it makes everything very confusing when you've got all this thirst for Hank. He was already feeling it before, certainly, but it's more now. A lot more. He wouldn't mind a show, truth be told. But he's apparently not getting one so he'll just pout and cuddle Hank's back some more. Hank isn't going to complain. ]
Shame. I was so looking forward to it.
[ Hank can't even be weirded out at this point, his instincts like them both just fine. His pack is here. Ezra and Eli are basically the same. He's probably get carried away if he wasn't careful. ]
It's nice to know you're still super weird, bro. Wouldn't want anything to change too much.
[ Said teasingly, of course. If it was right around a full moon they might forgo any sense of propriety and just go at it with Eli there but... not quite there yet. Give it a couple more decades when they're all super bored and done it all by that point. ]
You're every bit as strange as I am and you know it, dear brother.
[ He smiles. Yeah, he's gonna wear them both down somehow. But given that it's not too close to the full moon, at least Hank has enough control to maybe try and get his ass out of the bed. But it's so hard and he's so comfy... ]
You two wanna lay around all day, or are we getting outta here? Chloe was pretty fucking worried, you know.
[ At least Elijah has the decency to look guilty at that. He owes her an apology. But the bed is so nice... ]
[ Oh right. Gavin grumbles as he shifts and lifts himself up on an elbow. If there's one thing that gets him going, it's the thought of worrying or disappointing Chloe. ]
Yeah, I think it's time to get out of the apocalypse bunker. And uh, get me a new shirt. I'm not gonna have any clothes at this rate...
