Sal puts his mask on and allows me to lead him through the apartments. I lead him up a set or stairs on the side of building that lead up to the rooftop. I sit down and Sal follows after.

" So.. Sal.. about last night. I feel really stupid."

" I feel stupid too.. I shouldnt have said what I said."

" You.. regret it?"

" I feel like i made you uncomfortable... upset.. something along those lines."

" I just feel stupid because i didn't understand what you meant at the time."

" So.. were you not rejecting me?" He asks

" No, I do like you.. I just never knew that talking about the moon was a confession ."

" You do like me?" He asks, his voice rising in excitement. I smile and nod my head, only to be brought by surprise when Sal pulls me into a hug.

" Please tell me you're being serious. You actually like me?"

" Of course I do, Sal. What's not to like?" I say. He tightens the grip on the hug.

" I- I really thought you brought me up here to let me  down easy"

" Definitely not." I say. He finally lets go, I'm a bit surprised to see that his mask is off. I glance down and see that it's in his left hand. His scars are so oddly beautiful.

" So are we.. dating?" He asks

" I think so" I say, awkwardly laughing.

" I'm so happy." He says.

" Me too.... Well, let's eat and then get to sleep. You can sleep over at my apartment. Alright?"
