TOM/GAVIN

who starts putting up decorations in october? Gavin wouldn’t normally, but if Tom mentioned anything about hating how early people get into Christmas stuff, Gavin would go all out.

who buys the advent calendars? I feel like Tom would? If Gavin were put in charge of advent calendars, he’d get the vodka advent calendar.

who places mistletoes all around the house? Gavin would put up like one. Or not even put it up, but just hold it over his head. To which Tom would probably roll his eyes and like, bat it out of his hand. Maybe burn it. Unless he’s in one of those random alarmingly good moods, in which case he’d actually kiss him.

who wraps the presents for other people? Gavin is half decent at wrapping presents, but most of the time his thought process is “why not just put it in a bag?” Tom is hilariously bad at wrapping presents. When Willa was young, he always had Chuck do it (bc my boy is good at wrapping presents) and for Chuck, either got it somewhere where they do gift wrapping, put it in a gift bag, or decided to have Willa do it and that way if it’s badly wrapped, it’d be cute because it was a child who did it.

who puts the final star/angel on the top of the christmas tree? Gavin. And he’d point out that it’s because Tom is short. And probably get smacked.

who’s the one that hates eggnog? Tom. He makes that face. You know the one. Gavin has no qualms with it, as long as there’s alcohol in it.

who’s the one that bakes christmas cookies for guests? “”””””””Guests”””””” Please. But as much as Tom cooks and likes cooking and whatnot, I feel like Gavin would be way more into baking the cookies and decorating them with Willa. (Chuck would join in but he’s too busy blowing his husband before they leave the apartment so he misses out on the fun.)

who sends out the christmas cards? Gavin’s name and face are on his family Christmas cards, but he’s not really the Christmas card type. Unless he finds one with a really stupid joke on it to get for Dean.

who knows all the words to twelve days of christmas? I feel like either they both do and Tom pretends not to, or Tom actually doesn’t know all the words, despite how many times he must have heard it over the years with Chuck and Willa.

who’s the better snowman builder? They would both get a little competitive about it without flat out saying they were competing. But it would turn out Gavin is actually better. Tom would not admit it though.

who starts snowball fights? Tom. Because Gavin needs snow thrown at him for being better at building snowmen.

who’s the one that wakes the other on christmas morning by playing christmas songs really loudly? Gavin would think about it really hard and then go back to bed for another hour. Or it would be a non-issue and Willa would wake them up.

tom/gavin for the ship thing

Am I doing canon? I’m doing canon.

How did they they meet? Gavin decided to be dumb and not let go of the fact that ghosts and other shit exist and it landed him in some sticky situations. One of which ended up with Tom and Gavin trapped together for a few days. Oops.Who developed romantic feelings first? Gavin. He wasn’t completely over Kat yet at that point, so it was a little confusing, but they were definitely there.Who is their biggest “shipper?” Ha. Meg. She just finds the whole thing hilarious.When did they have their first kiss and under what circumstances? Tom kissed Gavin to shut him up while something that could easily kill them was hanging around.Who confessed their feelings first? Gavin. Tom hasn’t actually really admitted anything that resembles a feeling.What was their first official date? ...Date. Sure.How do they feel about double dates/group dates? Ha. Gavin wouldn’t mind too much, but he’d never bring up the idea.What do they do in their down time? Tom does demon stuff and Gavin tries to figure out what the hell he’s doing. Occasionally he can make out certain phrases in various incantations (thank you AP Latin) but there’s a lot in there that he clearly must be translating wrong.What was the first meeting of parents as an official couple like? Ha. Azazel probably found their...whatever they call it just as hilarious as Meg. Tom met Gavin’s parents once, but never told Gavin about it, and Gavin’s parents didn’t know who he was.What was their first fight over and how did they get past it? Their first fight? Probably about Tom’s failures at communicating. They got past it with Tom saying the longest string of words Gavin’s ever heard come out of his mouth, and then some aggressive sex, after which Gavin took a nap and woke up with very little memory of the conversation.Which one is more easily made jealous? Tom, actually. Tom gets attention from various parties on occasion, which Gavin often gets to witness, but Gavin never really gets jealous because Tom’s attempts at flirting are the funniest thing ever, and Tom barely tolerates him, and he’s his favorite human. The only reason Tom puts up with any other humans is if he needs them for demony things, and Tom doesn’t seem interested in spending time with other demons too. Gavin on the other hand is a shameless fucking flirt, and Tom hates it, even if he tries to hide how jealous they get.What is their favorite thing to get to eat? Tom, being a demon, doesn’t really need to eat. Gavin will eat pretty much anything, which honestly sort of alarms Tom sometimes. Gavin wasn’t aware Tom’s face could move that much.Who’s the cuddly one? What their favorite cuddling position? Gavin gets cuddly when he’s drunk and Tom is an extreme cuddle bug but only shows that side of himself when Gavin’s drunk and he’s pretty sure he won’t remember in the morning. And they don’t really have a favorite position. They cuddle in whatever position drunk Gavin falls into. They get really weird sometimes.Are they hand holders? Ha. No. Maybe if there’s something that likes preying on squishy humans and Tom is dragging Gavin away from it.How long do they wait before sleeping together for the first time? What’s the circumstances? They didn’t wait too long. Basically once Gavin got over the fact that holy shit demons exist and holy shit i want to fuck an angry looking demon, he jumped on that shit.Who tops? Tom, at first. Eventually, when they were more comfortable with each other, Tom let Gavin top, then eventually Gavin ended up topping most of the time.What’s the worst first they’ve ever gotten into? Something about killing people, and how Tom needs to be careful with all the demony shit or a hunter’s going to kill him or at least exorcise him.Who does the shopping and the cooking? Gavin, generally, because Tom has no reason to. But sometimes Tom will cook, and he’s actually pretty good at it.Which one is more organized and prone to tidiness? They’re both pretty tidy, but Gavin will sometimes purposely make a mess just to piss Tom off.Who proposes? Ha. Marriage. NEITHER. THEY GET DRUNK AND GET MARRIED IN VEGAS.Do they have joined Bachelor/Bacheloette parties or separate? They just don’t have one.Who is the best man/maid of honour? Any other groomsmen or bridesmaids? Gavin doesn’t really talk to any of his friends from school anymore, except for Kat, who, shockingly enough, has no interest in meeting Gavin’s demon paramour. But they didn’t really plan anything, so even if she would have been willing to go to the wedding, there wasn’t a chance for any grooms-people or whatnot.Big Ceremony or Small? Small. Like, the guy officiating and Meg, who managed to find her way there despite them not saying anything.Do they have a honeymoon? If so, where? NahDo they have children? How many? Gavin wants a fucking litter of children, man. Tom insists that demons don’t do...that. A few years later, they have like three children and somehow he’s turned into a super domestic stay at home demon. Meg continues to find it hilarious.

Who would be the one to randomly adopt a puppy without consultation: If I had to choose, I guess I would say Gavin? But I can’t really see either of them not talking to the other about it. Also I see them more as the type to adopt older dogs. Who would force the other to take aesthetic pictures of them: Gavin would probably do this from time to time, but he prefers having pictures of Tom rather than pictures of himself. o it’d be more like him forcing Tom to let him take aesthetic pictures of him. Who would do stuff they think is stupid just to make the other one happy: UGH. Tom does stupid stuff ALL THE TIME that would make Gavin SO HAPPY, but Gavin never sees it because Tom is a shit head. But tbh Gavin probably does his fair share of stupid things to get Tom to smile (or if he doesn’t smile, Gavin would probably be like “HA you thought about smiling”) Who picks out the horror movies to watch just so the other will cling to them: Gavin. Not that I can really see either of them getting scared and clingy, but Gavin probably tries to find the most disgusting, horrifying movies just to see if Tom will react. (But there are certain things he’ll avoid because he knows Tom is legit afraid of things like heights and water and small spaces. Okay, he’s afraid of a LOT of things, but Gavin probably geneally tries to avoi the big ones.) Who is constantly studying and who is constantly trying to distract them: Neither of them really constantly study because they don’t really need to. Though Gavin does spend a fair deal of time working on homework and papers for his metric butt ton of classes. But Tom understands how important school is to him, so he just lets him work. I’d imagine there’ll be nights where he’s immersed in a paper for a topic that fascinates him, and Tom will probably try to get him to come up for air at some point because he hasn’t actually eaten anything. If he’s too into it, Tom will get out the big guns and tell Alison to get her daddy to take a break. Who initiates the facetime calls whenever they’re separated: They have a tendency not to be separated for long, and unless it’s so the one that’s away can see the kids, I see them sticking to audio calls if anything. But Gavin is likely the one to initiate. (Like when he went on that trip to Hanover for Eve’s graduation and called Tom up while high and drunk and emotionally gross) Who is more likely to storm out after a fight and who is more likely to cry when they do: In the old days, they were both pretty likely to storm out. But I feel like Gavin, depending on his mood/the topic was more likely to try to stay and work things out, or at least not run out in the middle of a fight. But now there’s not really much storming out. It would have to something pretty big. And I can’t.........really see them..........crying.........It happens very rarely. Who stays up way too late binge-watching their favorite shows: Gavin doesn’t really watch much on his own. If he watches things, it’s generally with Alison or Tom. And they both stay up pretty late anyway. I can more see Tom waiting until Gavin leaves in the morning and binge watching things with Alison. (Though there would be nights where one of them has their head in the other’s lap while Tom watches things and Gavin reads or half pays attention to whatever’s on. Who bites the other’s ear when they’re feeling frisky: Gaaaaaaaaavinnnnnnnnnnnnn. He really likes biting Tom’s ear??? Who sprays the other with water when they’re washing the car: Tom doesn’t really like getting wet, so Gavin wouldn’t do that. (If it weren’t for that though, he probably would, let’s be real) And I can’t really see Tom being that playful while washing a car? Especially seeing as Gavin would retaliate and get him wet. Who has more fun decorating the house during holidays: I feel like now that they have Alison (and Hadley) they both have a lot more fun. Like, Gavin, beforehand, would have likely done the decorating to make his mother happy (although he probably had loads of fun on the occasions where they could do it together) And I don’t remember if Tom did that for his mom or not? I want to say yes? Though tbh Parker and Chuck probably tried to rope Tom into joining them in decorating. (Especially Chuck when his dad was working) But yeah, they probably both enjoy it more now that they have their own family. Who is more likely to give the silent treatment when they’re mad at the other: Tom. Tom tom tom. Tommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I mean, I think there were occasions where Gavin did it in the past, but it was really aided by Tom being a dirty little avoider. Who plays with the others’ hair more: Gavin. It’s not especially often, but in certain situations he’ll do it because he’s used to doing that with Casey and Tracy. Who is more likely to climb all over the other one when they’re bored: G a v i n. He also would tug Tom on top of him. Who tries to kiss the other as often as they can: Neither?? Considering how long it took them to get to the point where they actually kiss each other casually? Like the goodbye kisses, and the hello kisses, and other little random kisses during the day took a long time to actually happen. Who pouts when the other one tells them to shut the fuck up: Neither. Tom doesn’t pout and Gavin always responds with make me. Who initiates the sex and who walks away when the other is riled up: They’re more equal now with who initiates, but for a while there, it was generally Gavin initiating things. (Which he took issue with for a while there. It made him feel less wanted than he was used to, and it especially sucked because he wanted Tom to want him in a way he wasn’t used to) Who always forgets the umbrella and who holds it when they actually have one: See I can kind of see Tom being a grumpy butt at the prospect of using an umbrella??? Like ‘I don’t need that, I’m fine.’ And if Gavin’s on his own, he’ll usually forego an umbrella unless he has something with him that he wants to keep from getting wet, but if he’s with Tom and the kids he would be like WE ARE USING AN UMBRELLA. Because otherwise one of them will get a cold, and it will be hell for him. Who demands showering first in the mornings: I wouldn’t say demand, but Gavin usually showers first. He has to get up to head to classes, and he usually showers before he gets Alison up and starts breakfast. Who sneaks into the shower with the other one in the mornings: Gavin is usually hesitant to shower with Tom most of them time because he doesn’t want him to feel too crowded. That being said, he loves showering with Tom, regardless of whether things get sexual or not. Honestly, it’s one of his preferred little intimate moments. Who prefers riding the roller coasters and who prefers playing the games: Haaaaaaa Gavin definitely likes roller coasters more than Tom. Also I can see them getting all dumb and competitive with the games?? (Tom is better at the shooting ones, and Gavin is spectacular at the little basketball one, and they’re probably pretty on par with ring toss and the little balloon poppy dart game) Who will text the other one thirty times in a row until they respond: If Gavin is feeling particularly annoying, he’ll do it. But in general, he just doesn’t like texting. Who always forgets to charge their phone overnight: I feel like there are times when Gavin has to remind Tom. Because technology. Who comes up behind the other and slide their hands into their back pockets: Gavin l o v e s doing shit like that. It’s not something he ever thought he would love, but he does. He loves it even more when Tom relaxes against him. Who tries to get hugs from the other as often as they can: They’re not really very huggy people. But whenever Tom decides to hug Gavin, it makes him feel pretty great because Tom and hugs??? Like??? Though let’s be real, there are times where Tom just needs a hug from Gavin. ON A RELATED NOTE they are both gluttons for baby hugs. They will never turn away a hug from Alison (or whatever hug related thing Hadley is capable of. I don’t even remember how old she is, so I have no idea if she does the whole hugging thing much. Either way, they hug her all the time.) They may not be the most cuddly husbands, but they are super cuddly dads. Who is louder and who constantly has the tell the other to be quiet: You would think Gavin because he occasionally likes to be just generally obnoxious, but he’s not really that loud. Maybe it has to do with Nolan, or maybe he’s just that kind of person. But he pretty much saved all his loudness for cheer and bonding with team mates from the other teams he was on. If he was ever loud with anyone, it was probably Benny. Maybe Dean from time to time. But generally Benny was the only one to get him to let loose like that. And. Well. Tom. Being loud. P l e a s e. (Of course during sex, this is an entirely different story altogether.)

Secret Dating High School AU

Tom and Gavin have been dating for a few months now, not that anyone knows. Tom doesn’t want anyone to know, especially his father. His dad has never been an outright homophobe, but he hasn’t ever accepted the “lifestyle.” Gavin, on the other hand, wouldn’t mind if people knew. He wishes he could show off his boyfriend, but he would never push Tom out before he was ready.

Today is the day before homecoming so there’s another stupid pep rally. Gavin and Tom take this as a perfect opportunity to sneak off to an empty classroom. They’re getting pretty hot and heavy, meaning they are nude, screwing on a lab table. And then they hear the door open. It turns out, the chemistry teacher, whose classroom this is, left their class roster and had to come back so they could take attendence at the assembly. They both freeze. This cannot be good.

It’s about half an hour after they were caught. They’re sitting in the dean’s office, and their parents have been called. Great. Fantastic. Gavin’s mom is going to be pissed they didn’t tell her and they did this in school. And Tom’s dad. Ha. That’ll be interesting. Finally Gavin’s mom comes in and sits down next to him. Tom’s dad comes shortly after. It’s clear they don’t know why they’ve been called here. Wonderful.

Gavin's mom stayed calm. She made it clear that she won't tolerate being lied to and that they should be a little safer and more reserved (basically don't have sex in school). Other than that, she was actually happy that Tom and Gavin are together. Tom's dad, on the other hand, was silent. He didn't say anything. Nothing there, nothing on the ride home, and nothing when they got home- not right away anyway. His dad came to his room after an hour of radio silence. He starts out with questions.

 "How did you get like this? What did I do wrong that you became a homo? Was I too easy on you?" 

 "No dad, it's not your fault." 

 He starts to yell, "Something must have gone wrong for you too be a fag. This isn't okay. I won't accept this." With that, he stormed out slamming the door. 

After a week without any communication between Tom and his dad, he speaks at dinner. 

"I would like Gavin to come over for dinner tomorrow."

"Um sure." 

The three of them are sitting there quietly at the dinner table eating their food. Gavin finally breaks the silence. 

"This is really great, Mr. Masters. Thank you for having me over." "I'm glad you came. I wanted to talk to you boys."

Tom chimes in, "Oh?"

"Yes. I wanted to say that, while I don't really understand this, I know that you're my son, and I want you happy. If this is really something you're invested in, or whatever, then I'm not going to keep you two from each other."

After that day, Tom and Gavin didn't keep it a secret at all. Not a single person bothered them like Tom expected. It turns out people aren't always so bad.

Happy birthday maraparkers :)

#laken do you ever cry because these two are more affectionate than tom and gavin

i'm always crying about tom and gavin though.

[joelhammnd-blog]

remember the first time gavin and tom shared a bed and gavin woke up to tom wrapped around him like a damn koala on a eucalyptus tree

[joelhammnd-blog]

man.... i have rp feels right now

Tom just appreciates Gavin so much. He really does love him. Not that he's going to say it anytime soon (like I've said, he never once told his mother he loved her so). But he appreciates him. Because Gavin is so accepting and relatively understanding of the shit that happens, and continues to happen, and HAS happened in his life. 

It's why he was so quick to tell Gavin (first) that he had found his mother dead on the floor. Pre-Gavin Tom? He would have called 9 1 1 and then sat there in silence for a few days, not talking to anyone, or working, before finally telling Chuck his mother was dead. But for whatever reason, after he found his mother, he found himself talking to Gavin about it.

And it all went downhill from there on the "love" spectrum for him.

I've said before that if I had to label Tom's sexuality, it would probably be polysexual. Not that he would ever realize, or accept, that that's what it is. Tom views himself as straight, with a side of Gavin ("with a side of Gavin"). Because of the sexual abuse he endured as a child, it's very hard for him to accept that he enjoys sex with men. It's VERY hard.

But here he is, being an idiot and saying he loves Gavin's dick (stupid, Gavin). He's starting to open up more and be goofy, he's letting Gavin see sides of himself that normally only Chuck would see (MAYBE Bela, but generally only Chuck (and maybe Chuck's dad)). He's having fun. That's the most important detail because it's the one thing with Tom's life he's not good at achieving. Fun.

Before Gavin, he went out whenever Chuck invited him - but he never invited himself. He'd go to work things (only if required), and sometimes he'd get high with coworkers (though that seems to always end badly for him.....). Tom was really, not sheltered... but closeted? He kept himself in the dark a lot and didn't let people see him. But that's what happens when you live in a rich town and you're poor and there's nothing but judgy ass fucking people around you who think they know you.

Also, he was always taking care of someone (read: his mother). Tom didn't have the time for "fun". Which I'm sure him and Chuck bantered about at some point or another (I have some head canons I've never talked about in regards to their friendship).

But living with Gavin? It's the best thing that could have happened to him. Alison's come along and he doesn't feel obligated to help. No, he wants to help. And he really despises this whole "Mr. Grumpy Pants" bull shit. But he also kind of loves it and would melt pretty quick inside if Alison ever said that to him in the future. 

Saying Gavin was his when he was with Alan? That's pretty intense for Tom. When he was with Donna, it was "Yeah, we're dating, whatever." Not because he didn't care, but because it just wasn't the same. With Andrea? "She's there. It happened." He just dated people because he thought he was supposed to.

But then Gavin's in his face, telling him (while he's fucked up on god knows what and drunk) that he wants him to stop dating these people. To stop doing this shit (and to stop managing to find the most awful people ever). And to, technically speaking, be with him. 

Tom isn't used to people caring about him like this. Yeah, Chuck cares about him deeply. But Chuck doesn't know about everything he does (like some of his sexcapades), and he doesn't always try stopping him when he knows Tom is making poor decisions (though he did try to keep focused on school the best he could, I give Chuck props for that, heck yeah). 

Tom is used to people trying to "distract" him (read: outlets for sex (Bela, Gavin, others) and violence). Or people letting him avoid what's wrong. He's used to being able to face things on his own and just, in general, be alone.

Except with Gavin, he's forced to face the shit that's going on. He can't just drop off the face of the planet without it being noticed now. He can't just do whatever he wants, because someone is watching and taking notice. Gavin's being there for him. He's just not used to it. It's both comforting and weird. It freaks him out to some extent.

This whole thing with Meg has him so screwed up and the only time he's happy now, or close to it, or even normal, is when he's with Gavin. Gavin lights him up, makes him feel better about himself. He lets him know it's okay to feel things (I mean really, Tom's cried in front of him twice now (technically only a little) but yeah). 

Also, Tom is starting to open up about his sex life. Something he's SUPER private about. Mainly because of all the strange things he's done and participated in. Like the scene right now, Gavin putting makeup on him. Tom likes it. And he's letting Gavin know he likes it.

With Gavin, Tom's just... happy. He's different. But he also loses control.

When something bad happens to Chuck, Tom loses his shit. When Gavin gets roofied and tied to a bed and screwed without Gavin's consent, Tom beats the guy up and then stabs him a few times with the knife he keeps in his boot. Except with Valente. Tom panicked with Valente and didn't know what to do there. He was more ashamed with himself than anything over that.

Tom, without a doubt, loves Gavin.

He gets excited at the thought of being in bed with him at night just to sleep. It's a thought that helps him get through his shifts at work (not that he advertises it to people because he's a manly man who does manly things because man). The idea of spending time with Alison, whether or not Gavin is there, makes him inexplicably happy. And he's not really a fan of babies (even if they seem to be a fan of him). 

Tom told Gavin first about his father. Told Gavin what happened to him as a kid. Went to Gavin when he realized it was dad living in his house again. Went to Gavin when he was having plates thrown at him by his crazy ex, Andrea. Went to Gavin when he was upset in general, or confused, or anything. He just gravitates toward Gavin now.

He picks on Chuck for how he is with Castiel - but he should take a good, hard look at himself with Gavin. Because for a guy who likes being in solitude and avoiding people at all costs, he's with someone who's his polar opposite.

Ugh, Gavin and Tom, man.

And even though Gavin isn't in with the whole "boyfriend" thing, these two are still "boyfriends". They're just DUMB. SO PAINFULLY DUMB. They're committed to each other and it's gross and it makes me emotional. I think Tom's even referred to Gavin once as his boyfriend, and also his not-boyfriend, and then there was that weird explanation of their "relationship" to Chuck.

Ugh, Tom has come so far. But he still has a long way to go.

LIKE KISSING GAVIN IN PUBLIC AT THE GALA. That was monumental for him! Tom is not huge into PDAs or advertising that he likes guys (read: Gavin). But he kissed Gavin in front of everyone. He's called Gavin his. Gavin's just... Gavin has opened doors for Tom that Tom never thought could be opened. Gavin has done SO much for Tom, in mostly good ways.

Gavin did something for Tom that Tom never thought he'd believe in.

Family. Reliance. Acceptance. Financial Stability. Love.

It's all so cliche and dumb, but it's TRUE. Gavin has ruined Tom in all the right ways. And it makes me so happy to see how Tom has developed over the months of this role play, to see how far he's come. I'm so proud of his character. So proud of him and Gavin.

And hopefully we get a point in the rp where one of them accidentally, somehow, is maybe forced into it under a moment of duress, says I love you. Because THAT would be hysterical from either of these idiots.

au where gavin and tom meet at a bar during karaoke night. tom's on his own and gavin's with a bunch of friends. the two wind up talking and gavin convinces tom to do it, to do karaoke (after way too many shots of tequila and a piss poor performance of bohemian rhapsody from gavin). tom does it, and wow, it turns out he's not half bad.

then, you know, drunken sex in a bar bathroom. but shhh it's a secret.
