matthew wrapped his hand around the smoothie glass, nodding along to the other’s words. while the summer months were always a welcomed break from work for him, he could understand how busy it could get sometimes. “a vacation is always a good idea. take some time off, disconnect yourself from the work and enjoy yourself. you will feel much better afterwards, i’m sure.”

“I don’t think I can remember the last time I took a vacation.” Gavin said. After graduating high school, the accident, joining the academy, and taking classes; he was pretty busy. Although if he did take vacation, his coworkers and boss wouldn’t mind since Gavin is one of the most hard working members there. “The beach sounds nice.”

“Nice to meet you too,Gavin.”She said with a small smile,taking a sip of her drink.”Like a kid?Taking naps is a very grownup and truly underrated hobby if you ask me.”

Gavin chuckled. “Well it depends who you ask. Taking naps at work isn’t really professional but in my line of work, if you have time to take a nap and you finished everything you need to do then take a nap because there’s no telling when you can sleep.”

“thanks,” matthew told the man back as he pulled the chair out from the table and took a seat himself, setting the smoothie down on the table. “no need to worry. i had just arrived. it’s fine, really. we all get lost in our thoughts sometimes. i know i do,” he told the other in reassurance.

Gavin sighed and rubbed his eyes. “It’s just work. Work all day and all night and sometimes it’s just hard to sleep.” he said then took a few sips of his drink. “I think I should go on vacation or something. It would be nice to take a week to just relax.”

teaganalma​:

“I said, aren’t you the firefighter that came to my house a while back?” Teagan had been trying to place him for the past five minutes. If he hadn’t been clearly zoning out, Teagan would have been more bashful. “You stopped me from burning down my entire house over a piece of toast,” she recalled. Teagan was a notoriously horrendous cook. Gavin wasn’t the first firefighter who had been called over to respond to her cooking escapades, but he was probably Teagan’s favorite. “Y’know, it’s actually pretty chill that I’m running into you. You forgot something at my place the other night…” Teagan rooted around in her purse for a pen, grabbing a napkin and tilting it so the male couldn’t see what she was writing. “—…my number.” Smirking, Teagan slid the napkin over to him.

Gavin looked confused at first. Working as a firefighter, he comes into contact with people everyday so it’s hard to remember everyone. Once she mentioned why he was there, it clicked. “Oh yeah I was working that day. It was probably the most interesting call I had that day.” Gavin chuckled. When he was told that he forgot something at her place, he looked confused again. “What was--” He was cut off when she said her number. Gavin smirked and bit his bottom lip. “Well I’m glad I ran into you so I can get this.” Gavin said and pulled his phone out. “I’ll put it in my phone right now so I don’t forget.” he said as he put her number in his phone.

kngminjae​:

“um… sorry to bother you.” minjae spoke up once he got the other guy’s attention. “it’s just… there was this 10 dollar bill dropped on the ground right by your table, and i had to check if it was yours.”

“Oh?” Gavin remembered that one of his coworkers gave him a ten dollar bill since Gavin bought him lunch the other day. He reached in his pockets to not feel the ten dollars. “Seems like it is because I can’t feel it in my pocket. Should have put it in my wallet before. Thanks man.” Gavin said and took the ten dollar bill from him then took his wallet out to put it in there.

madxlxinxbrown​:

Sitting down,Madeleine placed her drink on top of the table and smiled softly.”No worries,I’m Madeleine by the way.”The female sipped on her drink quietly,listening to him.”I know what that feels like….want to talk about it?”

“Nice to meet you, I’m Gavin.” He sat up a little bit in his seat and leaned back some. “Nah it’s alright. I guess I just need sleep and take daily naps or something like I’m a little kid again.” he chuckled.

jacoblyons​:

Jacob laughed, shaking his head. “Well we all know there won’t be any noise coming from your tent.” He teased him, playfully shoving the other.

“Hey!” Gavin looked shocked then poured a little beer on him. “This is what you get for that. You know I can get any girl in my tent if I wanted. I’m just that charming.”

Charlie sighed when she heard his words of support. It was nice to know that someone had her back, despite them not knowing the real reason why she wasn’t drinking and why she was so distressed. “Thanks. You’re a nice guy.. We could use a few more like you around here.” she said with a small smile. She was defenitely feeling much better now. “Nice to meet you too, Gavin. That’s a funny name, by the way.”

“Well I try to be.” Gavin said with a smile then sat down on the ground next to Charlie, pulling up his knees towards his chest. “Gavin is a funny name?” he questioned. No one had ever told him that before but he figured it was probably a good thing. “Well I can be a funny guy from time to time so I guess it just all works out.” he chuckled.

jacoblyons​:

“Pace yourself, brother.” He smirked, cracking open his can. “Eh…the fun hasn’t really begun yet.” He shrugged, taking a sip of his drink. “Hopefully the night ends…well.” He said, cocking his eyebrow. “If you know what I mean.” He laughed, playfully nudging Gavin.

“It’s all good bro.” Gavin said then rolled his eyes by the comment. “You know, I’m glad we have separate tents but our tents are not far so if I hear you...lets just say I better not hear you and I know, same goes to me too.” he chuckled.

Charlotte quickly turned her head to face whoever had approached her. She didn’t want to come off as very alarmed or distressed, but in all honesty, she wasn’t really having a great time. “I’m sorry, I.. I’m f-fine. He just kept insisting and I hate it wh-when people don’t respect my decisions…” she half-lied trying not to choke on her tears. Charlie thought she would be ready to join larger social gatherings where alcohol would be present, but having met with her long lost brother made things even more difficult. “I.. I’m Charlotte by the way. Thanks for checking up on me.”

Gavin sighed a little. “You have nothing to be sorry for. You don’t need to be pushed or forced to drink if you don’t want to. You stood your ground, you should be proud of yourself. As for the dude, well he’s probably drunk and if he messes with you anymore then he will have to deal with me.” he said then put his hand out to shake it. “Nice to meet you Charlotte, I’m Gavin.”

Jacob walked over to the many coolers and grabbed two beers; one for him and one for Gavin. The two hadn’t gotten to spend a lot of time together lately because of Gavin’s work schedule, so he was super excited to get to see him at the bonfire. He walked around until he found his brother who was standing with a couple of his friends. “Sup, dude?” He said, chucking the second beer at his older brother. @thegavinlyons​

Gavin was talking work with a few of his buddies when he heard his brother’s voice. He turned around and caught the beer that his brother threw at him. “Hey bro. Thanks for the beer, I was just about to get me another one” he chuckled and opened his beer. “Having fun so far?” he asked his younger brother.

“I, uh, d-don’t dr-..” the blonde helplessly mumbled as the random guy handed her a beer despite her refusing, her fingers curling against the familar, yet cold glass bottle. Her eyes quickly darted from it to the ground, the sound of laughter and drunk people filling the air, making her dizzy. She used to be like this, she used to be “fun”. But now, everything was different. “I said, I didn’t order this! Take it back!” she insisted, her voice breaking and getting louder. The sound of glass shattering broke any other conversation and all eyes landed on Charlotte, who stood frozen in her place, no glass bottle in her hand now. “Goddammit..” she cursed under her breath as she slowly managed to walk and sit by a tree trunk. “For fuck’s sake, Charlie… just for tonight, make it work..” she said, not realizing someone would hear.

Gavin was into events like this, especially bonfires. Part of it is he likes fire but I guess the only reason for that is because he’s a firefighter. It’s good to have trained firefighters at a bonfire incase it got out of control. Others may panic but not firefighters. Gavin was standing with a few friends, drinking a beer. He turned around when he heard someone yelling then glass breaking. The girl seem embarrassed and something more was going on it. “Hey guys, I’ll be back later. I’m going to check on her.” Gavin walked over towards the girl and kneeled down next to her so he was at her level. “Hey, are you okay?” he asked softly.

It wasn’t every day that Madeleine put a happy ending to one of her cases but when it happened,she always celebrated,even if it was just by herself. Knowing she still had to work for a few more hours,she decided it was not safe to drink any alcohol and headed over to Real Smoothie. She got herself a mango smoothie before she spotted someone sitting alone. Usually,Madeleine wouldn’t just approach people but it was a special occasion and she didn’t feel like being alone. Standing by the table,the lawyer peered down at the man with a small smile.”Do you mind if I sit here?”She questioned but was met with no answer.”I was just asking if I could sit here.”The lawyer asked,now furrowing her eyebrows.

When finally giving her attention, he listened to her and nodded. “Yeah sure, that’s fine. Gavin said and rubbed his eyes. “Sorry I must have been day dreaming or something. I’ve been working a lot and not having a lot of rest to sleep.” Gavin said then took a few sips of his drink.

ezrabaldwins​:

deciding to stop at the smoothie place for a strawberry banana smoothie after his run, ezra figures he’ll walk his way back home, give him sometime to think. standing in line, eyes scanning over the menu as he listens to drake on full blast, he turns his head to see the outcome of the shop when he sees someone staring at him. ezra looks at the empty wall then back at the kid, “something wrong with your eyes?” he quirks a brow. the male’s words making him chuckle, “checking to make sure there isn’t a problem. gotta be pretty damn distracted, almost got your ass beat.” he laughs.

“No” Gavin let out a small laugh then rubbed his eyes. “I was just thinking, deep in thought. Been pretty tired but thanks for not beating my ass.” Gavin said before standing up from his chair and pushing in his chair. “So was you going to beat my ass for just looking at you? Sounds kinda harsh.”

jamesselroy​:

James was on his way home from another failed interview. Why he even attempted to look for jobs anymore was beyond him. Things always went fine with them until the subject of his injury was brought up and well, then there was always a curt nod, and a sudden end to the entire interview. Not that he was all that surprised. However, with the rising temperature as he walked long, he had stopped into the smoothie place, and ordered something. Not quite ready to go home and face his over bearing mother, James looked around the small cafe- Maybe he could sit for a while and just relax. However, there seemed to be no empty tables though there was an empty chair off to the side. The only problem? Someone was already sitting there. So with drink in hand, he had made his way over to them, head tilted to the side some. “Sorry- I was just wondering if that chair was taken? If not, do you mind if I sit? Everywhere else is full.”

“Yeah of course. It’s all yours.” Gavin stated before taking a few sips of his smoothie. He looked around to see every table was full, but that was normal of that time of day. It was a pretty popular place. “Um, I’m Gavin by the way.” Gavin said, trying to make some small talk.

”If that’s the case you can keep dropping off these kind of cards every week.” Rose teased him with a smile. Mentally making a note to when she returned to the party to drop off the card where the gift room was. As a thank you Rosalie decided she would buy and have someone deliver breakfast for the whole firehouse.  Her free hand came out to hug him back. “What do you mean?” Rose didn’t care about how much was in the card. If the last four years taught her anything it was that the people in her life mattered over anything else. “You coming by means more to me than anything that could be in that card. Lunch sounds lovely.” 

“Well I promise I will try to come by and check on you at least once a week. I’ve been pretty busy at work and we have been having training classes. It’s been exhausting but it’s worth it if it helps someone.” Gavin said with a smile. He leaned against the building and looked around. “Hey, how about we go back into the party? I think people may be wondering where you disappeared to.”
