𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍.
a drifter by nature, beau has lived in many cities over the years, even countries but none of them have ever felt like home — not even england, where he was born. beau was born in oxford, where he was raised until the age of twelve years old when his parents marriage began to dissolve, leading to a messy divorce that ended with beau moving state side with his mother to her hometown of phoenix, arizona.
the bliss of his mother being a happy, single parent barely lasted for a year before the struggles of being a single parent became too much for her and she was forced to give her son up for closed adoption before she could do any real, lasting damage to the one good thing she had done in her life.
for her it was the kindest thing she could do for beau, but for him it was the cruelest. whatever cookie cutter life she had imagined he would find after being fostered or adopted was never to be. beau was too old to simply forget about his mother like she had him, and not a lot of couples looking to adop wanted a teenager who was a flight risk with resentment issues.
beau could never find a home or a family to settle down with, often refusing to accept them as his new family, picking fights until they had grew tired of him and even running away on several occassions and crossing several state lines to try and track down his mother.
it wasn’t until his early twenties that he would be reunited with his mother, when he would track her down to her final resting place back in her hometown of phoenix, arizona after learning of her death in an apartment fire. after reeling from the loss of one of the only family members he had left, he booked a train ticket back to oxford to search for his father. he was expecting to find a drunk, like his mother had always called him, but instead found a man who had sobered up, remarried, started a new family and wanted nothing to do with beau.
he moved around england for two years after that, working any cash-in-hand job he could find until he woke up one morning and was tired of chasing ghosts and booked a one way ticket back to america. once again he continued to bounce around states for a couple more years working bar and kitchen jobs, where he discovered he had a knack for cooking and it was something that he actually enjoyed. he would have stayed training to become a professional chef, had he not moved to san diego and applying to the fire academy to become a firefighter.
san diego is the closest thing he has to a home, but after a messy break-up with his ex-boyfriend drove him to re-evaluate his life in san diego, he requested a transfer to a firehouse in los angeles and booked a one way bus ticket. beau has been living in silver lake for the last year and a half, renting a place at oasis apartments.

aesthetics: calloused fingers, shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows, messages left unread on his phone, gym bag left by the front door, oil and grease stained clothes, flour smudges on his face, the smell of smoke and fire on his skin.
