gavin was normally alone on christmas. he didn’t have a lot of accepting family that’s want so see their relative- or the gay relative at least. sure, his mom was great but all of the joy of the holidays had been sucked away for him- and it was odd. he always acted nicer on the holidays. he always got his co-workers thoughtful gifts and sent them ‘merry christmas / happy hannuka!’ (depending on which they celebrated) messages on their social media’s. it was probably because he knew what it was like to feel alone on these holidays and he didn’t want anyone else to feel like he had.
but anyways, moving on from depression, there was a holiday party planned, with a secret santa type thing, and everyone had pulled from a hat. he had gotten hank that year, and had gotten him a very expensive bottle of whiskey because he was over heard him talking about it to connor, and had overheard he had wanted to try it. of course, he had gotten everyone else presents too- even connor and nines.. and sumo. he had gotten connor a really nice silky tie with a bunch of little cartoon sumos on it, on the back it said in silver, small print ‘custom made for connor anderson by: tie-co. he had gotten gotten stumped with nines present so.. he had gotten him.. a book. it was about a creature tying its hardest to fit in with the humans and to understand them, and finally making friends with a little misfit boy. he had just gotten a nice new squeaky toy for sumo and a new collar since he had noticed on the sumo instagram that his collar was beginning to fall apart somehow.
so, he was now sat at a table in the building that help the little christmas / hannuka party the dpd threw every year for the officers, wearing a nice button up and black dress pants with navy dress shoes. he was scrolling through twitter, buying his lip quietly.
