Sal woke up on the Sunday morning will a headache from hell, he also noticed a pair of arms were wrapped around his waist. He grabbed his mask and put it on, then he cautiously turned around to see Larry basically spooning him. He would've happily lay back down if he didn't need to pee so badly. He carefully got up so not to wake up the sleeping boy next to him but after hearing a grunt he knew his efforts were wasted.

"Larry move I need a piss"

Larry laughed and moved so Sally could get up. Sally returned from the bathroom to see Larry sitting on the bed half naked with his head in his hands.

"Headache?" Sal asked

"You know it" Larry had probably the most sexy morning voice in existence and it was one of Sally's favourite things about him.

"Here," Sal handed him 2 painkillers that he'd gotten out of the bathroom, knowing Larry would need them. "It'll help"

Larry downed the pills with some water and lay back on the bed.

"Sal?" he asked

"Yeah?"

"Do you remember what happened last night?"

Sally remembered and felt his ears go red.

"Em... yeah I do"

There was silence. Sally sat down beside Larry.

"Shit Sal I'm sorry-"

"Don't apologise, it was just a kiss on the cheek, no big deal." Sal said.

"Yeah but I touched your mask without even asking"

"Listen, you didn't even see anything, it's fine. And you were also drunk, but I'd like to settle the score"

Sally had pushed his mask up and had planted a kiss on Larry's cheek. He wished he could kiss his lips but he knew he couldn't.

"Now we're even" he said with a smile.

For a moment he could've sworn he'd seen Larry go a bit pink but he convinced himself that his eyes were playing tricks on him.

"But still."  he began "I didn't know you were gay."

"Pan actually" Larry replied with a smile.

"Kissed lots of boys have you?"

Larry laughed. "Oh god no" "Not many, maybe 2 or 3, you?"

"I've only kissed a girl on the cheek and that was before this happened." he said pointing to his face. "And now there's you, I'm bi although I don't think many people would want to kiss me"

"Why would you say that?"

"Larry its obvious, the mask, the face underneath it. No-one would want to kiss that"

"Sal I don't even know what you look like under the mask but I'm positive that you look absolutely fine"

"You can't say that, you haven't seen it yet."

"And I'd love too but only when you're ready"

They heard a knock on the door, Sally had suddenly remembered he was half naked and grabbed a blanket to cover himself up. Larry walked over to open the door where his mother was standing, she asked them what they would like for breakfast which Sally replied with 'pancakes please'. Lisa smiled and left the room. Larry grabbed his Sanity Falls t-shirt and put it on while throwing Sally a pair of shorts.

"Hey these are mine!"

"I know, you left them here last time you spent the night"

They both walked into the kitchen to find Lisa scurrying around looking for something.

"Oh hello boys, I'm sorry but Mr Addison has asked me to fix a plumbing problem in one of the rooms so you'll have to make the pancakes yourself."

"Ok but we might just set the kitchen on fire" Larry said quietly.

"I doubt you will it's very easy Larry, even if cooking isn't one of your strong points. Anyways I've got you go, see you boys later."

She closed the door behind her while Sal walked over to the ingredients laying out on the counter.

"You're lucky." He said looking over to Larry. "I'm a master of pancakes"

"Good coz I'm shit"

30 minutes and many pancakes later both boys were at the sink washing the plates.

"You were right you know."

"About what?"

"You really are the master of pancakes. That was the best thing I've ever ate"

"Looks like I better come round more often then"

"Definitely"

>•<

It was dark. Sal couldn't see anything. The ground was hard and cold. He sat up and put a hand to his face. His mask was gone. Frantically he started searching the ground to find it. Instead his hand landed on something soft and wet. He turned to face it only to realise that it was a body. A corpse in fact. And it was someone he recognised. His mother. He screamed and got to his feet, looking around he suddenly saw a light and started to run towards it. He ended up outside. It was raining heavily, he looked around and saw Larry and his dad with their back to him. He walked over to see that they were standing over a very large pit. Suddenly and without warning, he was pushed in. He looked up to see Larry and his father looking at him with disgusted looks on their faces. He tried calling out to them but there was no answer. Then from behind him he heard a growl. He turned around to see a big brown dog. He started screaming again and tried calling for Larry and his dad but they were walking away from the pit, leaving him there. He turned around again to see the dog baring it's teeth. And then it pounced.

And he woke. At first Sally couldn't move, he was still in shock but when reality came back to him he started sobbing. Loudly too. Since his dad wasn't home it meant he could make a lot more noise without bothering anyone. Eventually he managed to control his sobs and reach over to his walkie talkie.

"Larry face?" He croaked into the device.

There was no answer at first and Sal thought he might start sobbing all over again but eventually there was some static and the sound of a familiar voice came through.

"What's up Sally face?"

"....nightmares again"

"Oh, do u want to come down here?"

"Yeah that would be nice"

"Wait don't actually"

"W-why not?"

"Sal you sound upset, I'll come up to you"

"Okay, see you in a bit then"

"C ya"
