Dayvon leaned casually against the fire engine, listening to Marcus's ridiculous tales about his recent date, all while finishing a doughnut—a morning habit he couldn't shake. Even with all the usual activity happening at the fire station, there was something different in the air since December had approached.
Outside, the chilly weather was creeping in through the cracks of the door, combining with the warmth emanating from the heaters inside. The delicious smell of freshly brewed coffee and the sweetness of Krispy Kreme doughnuts could be smelled too.
And Inside the station, hints of the holiday season were also present—a sprinkle of decorations adorning the space, including garlands, twinkling lights, and a small Christmas tree tucked in the corner.
However, amidst their usual checks and drills, the firefighters prepared for another day on duty. December also brought a reminder on fire safety awareness, reminding them of the increased risks during this time of year—a responsibility they took seriously.
"Man, she was somethin' else. Bad as hell" Marcus said, shaking his head and chuckling. "We went to that new spot on 5th. Food was fire, but Ion' think she was feelin' me like that. Must've been gay"
Monica laughed as she adjusted her helmet, her hair pulled back in a neat bun. "Nobody wanna keep hearing about your hoe activities, Marcus. And you took the last banana pudding doughnut greedy ass" She softly smacked the back of his head, causing him to send her a harsh glare while licking the icing from his lips.
"Chris, please do something with this boy before I lose my mind"
Chris, who was busy checking the pressure gauges on one of the hoses, looked up and frowned. "Uh unt...don't drag me into this, Monica"
That's when Dayvon chuckled, taking the last few sips of his coffee and savoring the hot sensation it offered. He enjoyed watching their playful and childlike behavior—they were funny as hell and acted like badass siblings. Sometimes, being at the station felt like being at a second home, where he found friendship beyond just work.
"What's so funny? You laughing at me or something nigga?"
"I wasn't at first, but now I am cause you sound retarded. How she gay just because she wasn't feeling you? You be saying some dumb shit folks"
"Fuck you Von. Before I smack you like Monica just did to me"
"And I'll do it again, so hush up" The woman raised an eyebrow, and the man only kissed his teeth, knowing she never made empty threats. "Anyways, can y'all at least try to keep this place somewhat professional? I don't wanna get fired. And Trell you need to wake up"
"And Trell, you need to wake up" Marcus teased her with a squirrel-like voice, playfully suggesting he was about to grab her butt when she glanced away, only to retract his hands quickly when she caught him in the act.
