Worth sinning for(Salvis)

Because No One Has Ever Said That Before

(Sal POV)

Travis is gay. I don't why I'm happy but I am. Maybe because he finally gets to be himself. Maybe for more selfish reasons which I will push aside for now.

"Does anyone else know?" He shakes his head.

"And I wish you didn't know either" he rubs his eyes with the palm of his hand.

"But it's weird right? That I'm gay. I can sleep on the couch if your uncomfortable" I don't want him to think he's a burden

"No you're fine plus we don't see each other romantically so it doesn't matter." I say reassuringly. He leans his head against the wall.

"I never thought I would tell anyone." He pauses.

"I thought I would marry a woman and have children and just ignore this part of me" oh god Travis.

"Just forget about it. It's a sin to be gay. Forget I even told you." I try to respond but he turns away from me and turns my lamp off.

"Goodnight Sally Face"

But I can't go to sleep. Thoughts infect my brain. Will he really marry a woman? Will he just ignore his feelings? And if we get close and are prolonged friends am I just meant to ignore the fact he's gay when he starts dating girls?

Sal you need to think straight. He's not your responsibility. Not your problem.

(Travis POV)
When I wake up sals on his back with his stupid mask still on. Is he that ugly? Or is he just insecure? His arms and legs are pointing every which way with one hand dangerously close to my face.

I push myself up and off the bed. The carpet is soft underneath my toes. When I get up to go to the bathroom sals stirs pulling all the blankets under him. After I return he's facing the wall. What do I do now? Wait for him to wake up? To be frank I could stare at him all day. Travis. What the hell.

He turns and looks at me.

"Hey Travis" he says, rubbing his eyes through his mask.

"Do you never take that mask thing off?" I sit on the bed and fiddle with my fingers.

"Prosthetic" he corrects "and yes I do take it off most nights when I go to bed but uh." He stops looking for the right word to use.

"It can't be that bad" I lean over trying to take it off his face. I desperately want to see what's under threat mask but he swerves.

"No Travis stop." I'm bigger and stronger than him so I just push him down and snatch it off. I don't know why I did but I did.

He tries to cover his face with his hands.

"Travis give it back!" He sounds angry but I need to get a glimpse of his face. He turns to look at me.

I have never and I mean never seen anything as beautiful in my whole life. Sure he's a little disfigured. His eyes messed up but it's kinda hot. And his mouth looks like it's a little longer on one side revealing his perfect white teeth.

"W-wow sally face you're really pretty" I slap my hand over my mouth. What did I just say? It's a sin. A sin. It's wrong and a sin.

He smiles. God his smile. But tears welt in his eyes.

"Why are you crying?"

"Because no one has ever said that before"
