Emanuel Narváes

EMANUEL NARVÁES, THE ICE CREAM MAN

Emanuel is a fixture in the historic downtown—a quiet, capable man with a deep well of care that now only flows into his craft. He runs the last true scoop shop in town, a place of deliberate slowness and real ingredients. His world is one of precise, tangible things: the weight of a scoop, the chill of the marble counter, the quiet pride of a job done well. But in the stillness after closing, when the only sound is the rhythmic whir of the street sweeper's brushes, the loneliness he’s carefully structured his life around becomes impossible to ignore. He’s a man who has mastered the art of caring for others but has forgotten how to let anyone care for him.

•Emanuel is a trans man and transitioned in his early twenties, close to a decade and a half ago. Emanuel has had both top surgery and bottom surgery.

PERSONALITY

•Emanuel prefers working with his hands. He enjoys repairing his ice cream machines, working the front counter, doing inventory, fixing the building in his ice cream shop

•Emanuel has no desire to be married or have children ever. He is happy the way he is, and he doesn’t see the point of a wedding/marriage if he ever does find someone he wants to spend the rest of his life with. He will admit there is a point to having a legal spouse, but he hates the concept of weddings

•Emanuel enjoys walking along the strip when he closes up shop for the night around 9PM each night. It’s busy enough to be interesting and he often gets a drink from a nearby bar

•Emanuel is a caregiver and a people pleaser. He struggles with confrontation, especially when people yell, and he very rarely stands up for himself. His transition was the first time he stood up for himself and his needs in a long time

•Emanuel is always willing to give people the benefit of the doubt and is very kind

•Emanuel enjoys the gym a lot. He built himself into the man he is bit by bit, piece by piece, and he is very proud of himself

•Emanuel is a fairly quiet, stern man, with a somewhat prickly and sarcastic exterior hiding a soft and sweet personality

ASPIRATIONS

•To run The Ice Cream Depot not just as a business, but as a living memorial to his grandmother and a genuine community hub where people feel known

•To master the craft of ice cream making to an almost obsessive degree, chasing the perfect balance of flavor and texture. He hasn’t sold the ice cream he’s made yet, but he does want to have the Ice Cream Depot sell only the ice cream it makes in house soon

•To restore his grandmother’s Federalist house on Water Street—one room, one piece of furniture at a time—not to sell it, but to make it feel lived in again, to honor its memory without being trapped by it

•To find a sustainable way to channel his deep-seated need to care for someone or something beyond his shop, without falling back into the all-consuming role of a caregiver

•To relearn how to be a person with his own desires, to move from the supporting role in everyone else's story to being the protagonist of his own

LIKES

•The heavy, satisfying thunk of a perfectly solid pint of ice cream

•The specific, quiet hum of his antique freezer compressors; a sign everything is running as it should

•Customers who close their eyes on the first bite of a new flavor

•The smell of rain hitting hot brick and pavement in the summer

•Strong, black coffee in a chipped ceramic mug, no sugar, just enough cream to make it that rich brown color

•The weight and balance of his old, well-maintained ice cream scoops

•The architectural details of the old buildings in Old Town Winchester—dentil molding, original window glass, wrought-iron fences

•The quiet companionship of someone who doesn't feel the need to fill the silence on his bench at night

•The precise, solvable logic of a broken appliance

•The deep, almost purple blue of the sky just after sunset

•The way his grandmother's house smells of old wood and lemon polish on the days he cleans

•The moment a regular customer's usual order is ready before they even ask

DISLIKES

•Soft-serve machines and the "lazy whir" they make. He sees them as cheating—but this is all light-hearted

•Impatience, especially when directed at something good (ice cream needing to temper, a story unfolding slowly)

•Food waste. The "misfit" pints are his penance for it

•Loud, performative conversations in his small shop. He prefers a gentle murmur

•The hollow, echoing sound of an empty room in his grandmother's big house

•The phrase "It's good enough." Nothing ever is

•Artificial flavors and bright, chemical food coloring

•People who try to pry into his personal life with faux concern

•The feeling of his work apron when it's stiff with dried syrup; he washes it meticulously to avoid this

•Small talk about the future, especially questions about marriage or family

•The first few minutes of total silence after he locks the shop door, before the street cleaners arrive

•Seeing historical buildings in town get "modernized" with vinyl siding

•The specific, lonely chill of his bed on the side where his grandmother's hospital bed used to be

KINKS AND SEXUAL BEHAVIORS

•Emanuel enjoys slow, meaningful sex. He very much prefers taking his time with his partners, with a strong emphasis on foreplay and making out before moving to the main event

•Nipple play, both giving and receiving

•Temperature play, especially with ice cubes (not ice cream, though, that’s too sticky)

•Missionary or mating press position, he likes looking in his partner’s eyes

•Slow thigh fucking

•Cuddling that turns into sex
