[ 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...
[ See, Chloe is the real alpha in this scenario. Maybe they oughta make her part of the pack, too. Hank sits up and gives Gavin a nice long look at his chest. ]
I ain't complainin'.
[ He loves that you're ripped and he loves being reminded of it, too. He's about to reach over and run a hand down Gavin's abs when Elijah speaks up. ]
I should have some shirts that fit you. Or at least a jacket or two, considering your bulk.
[ Considering you're buff and small when Eli's lithe and lean. But he stands up too, the spell somewhat broken now that the cuddle session is over. ]
[ They really should. She could be Queen of Detroit in about a week if she really wanted to.
Gavin's about to purr and preen under his husband's attention, ripping off the last little bits of scrappy clothing and now just totally shirtless. He's been built since he became a cop but the Werewolf Glow Up definitely helped some. ]
Thanks, anything that works.
[ The spell is indeed broken but... Hank can touch his abs if he wants. ]
[ Yeah, Hank's gonna go for it. God, his husband's hot. He presses a hand against his stomach and drags it down. Elijah's gonna have to split them up or they'll go right back at it. ]
Right, then. Let's get moving, shall we? [ He holds out a hand to help Ezra off the bed. ] Chloe is waiting.
[ Oh baby... Gavin grins in that slow, syrupy way of his as Hank touches him. He's just about to rip Hank's shirt off and touch him all over when Eli's hand pops into his vision.
Oh. Right. He puts a hand over Hank's for a moment, leaning in to peck him on the lips, before he reaches up to take his brother's hand. ]
Right, can't keep her waiting. We can have fun once we get home.
[ Hank returns the smile with a warm grin, following them both up and off the bed. He doesn't let himself linger on the kiss but he keeps his hold on Gavin's hand and flashes some amber at him. He's more than ready to take his mate up on that. ]
Got that right.
[ Well, maybe after some food. Taking care of Ezra comes first. Elijah rolls his eyes and leads the two of them out of the panic room -- he's disabled the security and finds Chloe waiting for them outside. Though she's never been the most emotive, her eyes look somewhat glassy with concern. Elijah isn't going to bother putting on a strong face for this. He steps forward and pulls her into a warm embrace. ]
[ Hubba, hubba. Toss him on the bed and have your way with him later, husband!!
His stomach gurgles in hunger as if on cue as they get up though. Yup, food. Body wants iron to help replenish all that blood loss. As they head back up to greet Chloe, Gavin hangs back and watches them.
Aw. He's glad that slowly but surely Eli is getting more comfortable showing his emotions and expression affection. ]
Sorry we worried you, but I got him sorted out for you.
[ Gavin's so fucking cute when he's hungry, christ. Hank might just steal Eli's kitchen and make him food himself. Later. Right now they're giving Elijah his space to make up with Chloe. They probably have a lot that's going unsaid. ]
Thank you, Ezra. Thank you, Hank.
[ Chloe hugs Eli back, her grip tight and solid and probably far too strong but Elijah's a vampire now, he can take it. They don't appear to say much, but Elijah grips her just as tightly -- but carefully, too. He knows how breakable she could be, but she's also strong. And he won't lose control and he won't hurt her. He knows that. ]
I know it's part of your "job" but I won't be powerless anymore. If anyone tries to hurt you, I will protect you, Chloe.
[ Chloe smiles very sweetly. They're having a moment. ]
I know, Elijah. I was never afraid. I know you will always care for me.
[ Don't go telling people he has emotions, okay, you'll ruin his rap. Of course Elijah is doing a good job of that by holding Chloe and nodding to his brother's words. He knows Ezra will be there for him. And Hank. They are ever tied together now, even if they're apart, they won't be caught unawares again. ]
We're lucky to have your support.
[ Chloe smiles, patting Elijah on the shoulder as she pulls away after a while. If it were up to Eli, they'd stay like this for hours -- especially now that he's a vampire and doesn't have to do things like breathe, but she can hear Ezra's stomach grumbling and Hank's ansty to make sure his mate is taken care of as well. ]
I can have food prepared shortly. Elijah keeps meat in stock in case the two of you ever come to visit. [ Eli blushes!! Which is actually possible now thanks to all that blood he drank. ] Chloe! I have to keep some of my mystique, please.
[ Gavin laughs at that, snorting as he brushes his hair back. It's getting longer and he and Eli are looking more and more alike lately. Eli's so cute when he blushes. ]
You've never had any mystique, you dweeb. We all know you're a softie beneath all the bullshit.
[ But he turns and smiles to Chloe. ] But that sounds good, thank you. [ He looks down. ] And a shirt.
[ Even going public with the "Ezra 'Gavin Reed' Anderson née Kamski" shit, it's impossible to deny the resemblance now. People at work know Gavin as Gavin and he might not be the asshole he used to be, but he'll always be Gavin to them, even if he showed up with glasses and pulled his hair back like his brother. To Hank, he's Ezra or Gavin or whatever the fuck he wants to be, honestly. Hank loves Ezra. He loves Gavin. He'd love him whether he was a Kamski or a Reed. Plus, Hank likes the longer hair -- it gives him something to hold and run his hands through. Which he does, now that Gavin's doing it. They're sweet for a couple of bratty twins. ]
I'm extremely mysterious, just ask your husband.
[ Hank snorts loud. That's a good joke. ]
Yeah, being an asshole isn't being "mysterious," Eli.
[ It's pretty crazy how far they've come from then. Now Hank's spending his time in Elijah Kamski's house like he practically lives there. Chloe smiles back and directs them back upstairs. 'I'll have a change of clothes brought to you shortly,' she smiles. She knows Gavin can't fit into Eli's shirts but maybe that's part of the fun. There's certainly some mischief to her eyes. ]
[ Chris had evidently figured it out long ago and was just waiting for Gavin to mention it. Somehow he's not surprised... but it's been nice that no one has treated him any different. His fears of being rejected if anyone knew who he 'really' was seem kind of silly now. Funny how you're happier when you're true to yourself.
He purrs when Hank runs his fingers through his hair, closing his eyes happily. Gavin leans into his husband happily. ]
We shared a room until we were sixteen, you're not mysterious. You ironed your socks.
[ Chloe's gonna do Something, he knows it. He already loved Chloe dearly, but having Eli's affections connected to him intensifies it. Protect Chloe!! Make her pack!! ]
[ It's nice to feel at home, surrounded by his mate and his family. Hank's always going to appreciate that. He loves Gavin, from his cute purrs to his dumb hair. He even loves Elijah, for all his obnoxiousness. It's endearing. ]
They don't feel right once they're folded the wrong way and you know it.
[ He pouts. He has all his clothes pressed now of course. By Chloe most of the time, though she has no problem doing it. She leads to the kitchen then motions for them to sit at the bar. ]
Elijah, please start the food while I go grab Gavin some clothes.
[ Eli nods and goes to do just that. See? He can learn! Incredible. Hank's surprised to be honest. ]
