The Angel Under the Mask

Thirty nine

Travis

Today was the day sal finally comes home. I was really excited. "Sal! You ready to leave?" I waited but realized he was still asleep. Oops. I chuckle at myself and get up. I leave the room to find one of the angel doctors. I quickly ran into the girl. Veronica? "Morning phelps!" She smiled at me. "Hey! Can I have clothes for sal? Since his other ones were bloody from the incident, I doubt you kept them." She nodded and walked off. I walked back into his room and he was awake. "Morning angel!" He smiled at me. "My ass hurts. Because of YOU!" I giggled. "Sorry angel. But are you ready to leave today?!" I smiled widely at him. "Yeah. I think so. Might have to stay another day because of my fucking ASS." I laughed as the doctor walked in with clothes. "Here, it was nice to finally meet you sal. Be more careful with your wings." He nodded and I grabbed the clothes and she walked out. I handed them to sal. "Don't worry, I won't look." Sal rolled his eyes. "Let's see, how many times have you seen my body?" I shrugged. "Over 10 times? But I still respect your privacy." He smiled at me and gets out of the bed. I smile and look away.

"Ready!" I turned around and he smiled. He grabbed his mask and put it on. "Let's go angel." He grabbed my hand and we walked out of the hospital room. Then out of the hospital. We get back to the apartments and walk in the elevator. "Everyone is hanging out with lar since we told them you're coming back." Sal looked at me and I could tell he was smiling. I insert the basement key card and we listen to the horrible music Todd hacked into the elevator. We waited for the doors to finally open and we walked out. Sal was holding my hand. God I love him, so much. I open the door and sal walks in first. I shut the door behind us and we walk to Larry's room. Sal opens the door as we walk in. "SAL!!!" Everyone screamed excitedly. Sal smiled widely. I could tell. He walked over to everyone and hugged them. I sat down next to Larry. "Damn, wish I got hugs." We said in sync. We both glanced at each other and laughed. Larry put his arm around me. "You know, I look at you as a brother. Just like Sal. I appreciate you a lot man." I smiled and sal walked over to us and crawled to sit in between us. Larry put his hand on sal's head. I leaned my head against sal's. Larry eventually did the same thing. Ash started to squeal. "Aww! You idiots look so cute!!!" She pulled out her camera and took a picture of us. Larry chuckled and so did sal.

I was hanging out with ash and Larry a few weeks later during winter break because I needed help finding a ring.. That sal would like. I realized a few months ago we never really asked each other to be boyfriends so I thought it was dumb and embarrassing that we didn't. So I was getting him a 'be my boyfriend?' Ring. We were looking at two different rings. One was black with a snake around the gem and designs and smaller gems on it, it was a beautiful blue gem that we knew sal would love. The other was another beautiful ring. It was black also, and a purple gem with some random designs. We all decided the snake one and I paid for it. We also wanted to do other shopping for everyone else. Ashley was shopping for her boyfriend leaving me and Larry to shop for everyone else. So we split up also to find things. I also wanted to get sal some more stuff. I did request a homemade gift so I had to get that while we were at the mall. Time to start shopping.
