After the festival Hank and Connor hang around the Graveyard a bit longer. Connor's helping Markus wrap things up. Markus' interaction with the fellow vampire's playful and easy-going. They seem to talk a lot, must've had many years to catch up on each other.
Hank sees it all from a distance. He still doesn't feel completely at ease around other vampires so he's fine minding his own business. Suddenly the blond vampire, Simon, approaches the werewolf. Not sure what to say, Hank remains silent and tries to ignore him until the vampire speaks up.
"I'm Simon. You must be Hank Anderson."
"You bet I am," Hank chuckles. He ogles the other man. Simon is also a tall man, has blue eyes as well yet they seem to have more grey in them. And of course, a hint of red.
"I guess this must be your first time attending a vampire festival, huh?" Simon guesses and Hank nods.
"Yep. If it weren't for Connor I don't think I'd ever have the guts to be in a nest full of bloodsuckers," the werewolf admits. The comment makes Simon chuckle.
"No doubt about it. You know, I don't really mind werewolves. After all, my partner is one." Now Simon throws an admirable look at Markus who's seen carrying a few wooden poles together with the VMPD detective.
"Well, but he's also a vampire," Hank then claims and crosses his arms.
"I knew him before he became a vampire," Simon counters.
"So... Did you turn him into one of your own kind or?" Hank snickers. Much to his surprise Simon nods.
"Yes. It's a long story but in short, the idiot and I got in a some conflict with another vampire. Markus tried to sacrifice himself for me and he basically did. But I couldn't let him die like that. So I turned him before he'd be dead forever," the blond vampire explains.
"Well that's fucking sappy and kind of egoistical," Hank smirks at the story. It almost sounds too unreal.
"Maybe. I was desperate and it might've been a stupid thing to do. But we're not complaining anymore," Simon turns his attention back to his lover and now Hank watches with him.
The werewolf's heart suddenly starts to beat faster when he sees Markus lean into Connor and whisper something in Connor's ear. Whatever the werewolf-vampire said, it makes Connor laugh and even blush. Somehow it makes Hank's blood boil and he tenses up.
Simon notices and lets out a laugh: "Don't worry, Hank. Markus has always had a flirtatious side to him but he doesn't really mean it."
"How can I know for sure?" Hank snaps back, too fast.
"Because," Simon's smile turns into a smug one, "Because I know how he is around people he really is in love with. Hey may be a confident leader-type but when it comes to love, he can become a nervous goofy wreck."
Hank hums. That sounds reasonable. After all, Simon and Markus must've been lovers for a long, long time so Simon must be right.
Luckily now Connor joins Hank again.
"Looks like most work is done, Connor. If you two want, you could stay longer or-," Markus starts but Hank doesn't let him finish.
"I'm afraid my partner and I have to go back to Detroit. It was real fun and all but I'm afraid we've got cases to solve," Hank basically growls.
"Oh, I thought we weren't assigned a case until next week," Connor stammers confused but Hank takes the vampire's hand in his own and already starts walking away.
"Hopefully see you next century or sooner!" Connor quickly says and Simon and Markus wave them goodbye.
Once they're back in Hank's car Connor confronts the werewolf about his behaviour.
