Raina was really regretting her decision to not bring a sweater with her, because it got colder and colder the later it got. There were plenty of booths with coffee and hot chocolate, but none of them smelled right (which of course made Raina sound crazy, but hot chocolate was sacred and it had to be right). She was about to give up when she finally walked past the right booth. Raina listened to the boy talk and smiled at him, “I wouldn’t mind both, honestly. My friends ditched me a while ago, because no one had hot chocolate that smelled right, but I told them I’d find it and I did. Congrats, by the way. And, your costume is really cool. I was trying to go for a Posh Spice look but I think my hair’s too long,” she laughed and handed him money for the hot chocolate.

“Seriously? That’s kinda crummy,” His mouth twisted into a brief pout at the thought, even as he went through the motions of spooning a generous serving of hot chocolate into the largest cup he could get his hands on. (He had a weakness for people he found even remotely cute, that much more of one when they were equally as nice). “It’s on the house, don’t sweat it. I’ll put a dollar in at some point and it’ll be solid. Consider it a thank you for putting up with me, the King of the Dorks.” He laughed brightly, hoping to convey that he was half joking— though he was keenly aware that not many of his friends had taken the same pains with a costume they’d wear for a few days and then toss into the backs of their respective closets. “I think you look great but I’ve gotta be real and say it’s been a million years since I’ve seen anything Spice Girls related, so I might be a little misinformed.” He passed her the hot chocolate with a sheepish tilt of his head.

     “I can’t believe I just tried pumpkin carving. It’s a lot harder than it looks, honestly. I thought I could make an amazing, spooky one, but it turned out to be mush instead. I guess that’s the last time I ever try to do such a thing.”

[gavinshq]

“Mine always end up looking way weirder than I meant for them to— no matter how cool the drawing is before I carve them, they always look wonky. So I just stick for the happy looking designs— at least then no one thinks it’s lame if they come out a little derpy looking.”

Pushing his glasses further up his nose, Gavin surveyed the ever growing crowd around the booth his dad had him managing at the Autumn festival— he’d spent most of his time there chatting with passersby, complimenting the kids on their costumes and taking pictures with them when they insisted that their parents let them stand next to Spider-Man. “Pretty good, huh? I know Peter Parker’s probably makin’ a Halloween costume comeback, but I’ve been workin’ on it for like, a year. You want a hot chocolate or just a chat? Dad’ll kill me if I don’t make half an attempt to do my job.” He grinned brightly, dragging his fingers through his hair.

░ ☼ ° — [ shawn mendes ] meet gavin fonseca, the nineteen year old bisexual male that is a resident in arcata and has been in town for his entire life. an english literature student, they call him the bibliophile, because he is studious & brilliant but also naive & flighty. i was told that his mark is a wolf silhouette on the inside of his right bicep and that his soulmate looks like any fc & any poc fc and that he is neutral to the marks. [ kierstin, she/her, 22, pst. ]

hello, friends, ‘tis I— your local trash can. anywho, this is gavin~! gavin is a smol bean of a boy and he’s lived in arcata his whole life, as it says above. i’m still very much in the process of developing him so this is kinda all of the information i could get outta my head and onto a page in one go. 

his parents have lived in arcata their whole lives as well, and their parents before them and theirs before them, etc. because they’ve been in town for such a long time, they’re very involved in the community and gav’s parents have always made it a big thing for him to be really present in the community as long as he lives there. 

in the interest of doing that, gav is pretty well known around town bc he’s always volunteering to work events and organize shit for the high school (when he was there) and now for the community college. 

he doesn’t mind doing stuff like that but his parents also put a lot of pressure on him to be the perfect son and he’s really terrified of letting them down in any way so he doesn’t do much that they’re not okay with. (i’d love for him to have a few friends that aren’t very good influences on him but he’s like, enamored with them). 

they expected him to be the all-american boy so in high school he was a straight-A student, member of the football team, involved in a shit ton of clubs and community outreach projects— basically the perfect son. 

he blew out his knee his senior year of high school when he took a hard tackle at the wrong angle and he’s been really resentful about that ever since bc he’d planned to use football to get through college without having to put stress on his parents.

instead, he’s going to the community college and still recovering mentally from his injury and studying english literature (he’s literally the biggest lit nerd and he’d just read and own a little bookstore for the rest of his life if he could). he’s constantly arguing with his parents about what he wants to do because he doesn’t have the same plans for his life that they do. so it’s something he butts heads with them about. 

he is a smol ray of sunshine and just genuinely does his best to be kind and open with everyone he meets and he’s the sort of guy who literally falls a little bit in love with everyone he’s ever met as soon as he meets them so that gets to be pretty fun. 

he’s neutral to the marks because he’s never really seen an example of a really loving, functional couple who are soulmates in his life. his parents aren’t soulmates but their respective soulmates are occasionally in and out of gav’s life and he likes them but doesn’t put the relationship on a pedestal or anything like that. 

basically, he is a small baby and i would love to plot with him every which way.
