It was a normal day at addison apartments, sals father was passed out in his room, gizmo was relaxing on the couch, and sal had woken up only moments ago. He was contemplating either to wear a red turtle neck or stay his usual self, he decided that the norm is probably better. He slipped on his shoes petting gizmos head before heading down to the basement. The hum of the elevator and classic music playing soothed his nerves.

Recently sal had been feeling odd feelings around larry, not the usual best friends feeling but how he used to feel when he was around ashley which made him flip shit when he realized it. Once at the basement he took his time looking around for hidden secrets and treasures, last time he found an old basketball card under the washer which was a rare find. He knew he was procrastinating but fuck man what would you do if you felt over the moon each time you saw your best male friend?

Sal knocked on the door fingers tapping his thighs in patience, larrys mother lisa answered the door with her usual happy smile.
"Hey sally, larrys in his room. I got an emergency on the 3rd floor so cya boys later." she zipped by the small teen clearly in a hurry, sal shrugged and nodded her way as he headed in. He knocked on larrys door and walked in since sanity falls now blaring on full blast and knew larry wouldnt hear him. Sal slipped his shoes off and laid on larrys somewhat comfortable bed, he felt relaxed when in larrys room.
  
Larry had been painting when sal walked in so he turned his focus to the canvas he saw light blues and darker shades being splattered on it. His eyes widened when he saw his mask holy shit larry was painting him and it looked fucking great, well for what was finished. Sal soon became bored of watching larry so he started up his gameboy the noise alerting larry of sals presence.

Larry smiled over at sal, unbeknownst to sal larry had felt the same feelings as he did for the taller man. Larry cleaned off his hands on his pants and flopped next to sal face down.
"Man how are you so quiet? You're like a ninja but metal."  sal had looked from his spooky hameboy and turned to the metalhead turning off said device "well obviously im a ninja whos come to spook you."

They both bursted into laughter both smiling sweetly, larry then decided to turn on a horror movie turning of the rocking tunes and sitting up beside sal. He liked seeing the small redness creeping on sals uncovered cheek and ears. Sal had turned his body putting his legs on larrys lap as his focus was plastered on the tv. After about halfway threw the b rated horror flix sal was bored, he looked down at his colorful socks and lifted his leg up so it was in larrys line of vision wiggling his foot. Larry turned to his friend confused before seeing unside down text. "Unlike you sal i cant read upside down."

"Well then learn to dumbass" larry took sals foot in hand and moved it to where he could read it before snorting with a smile. "Im the most delicate flower known to man." "well obviously dude but yknow what, your the most pretty metal flower ive known" sal blushed at the remark and shook his head thinking larry had meant it in a friendly way rather then romantic. Sal unlocked his clasps pulling the prosthetic aka his face off, having already shown larry his face before.

"Pretty my ass, i look like a burn victim." larry has cupped sals unmarked cheek and ran his thumb up and down it softly knowing sals face was tender and how self-conscious he was of it. "Well to me youre the handsomest flower who id pluck anyday of the week." "handsomest? Is that even a word?" "hell if i know but i know youd be a blue bell outta all of them"

Sal rolled his eye and smiled as much as he could with his cleft. Sal then swong his legs off larry and scooted close to his crush. He leaned his head against the tall boys shoulder which in return the brunette wrapped his arm around the bluenettes shoulder rubbing it lightly as they both turned there attention to the film.

Hours later lisa had returned home tired fixing dinner for herself and larry, she then knocked on her sons door cracking it open to find both the boys asleep leaning against each other one of larrys arms over sals shoulder and the other hand intertwined with sals black chipped paint. She smiled and took out her camera snapping the photo saving it for the future teasing. "Guess ill have to set another plate."
