{SallyFace} Fired Up - Larry X Reader

A Worried Boyfriend... And Best Friend?

{Larry's POV}

I wonder what's been on Y/N's mind lately. She seems really... on edge. I guess it's nothing, but I should ask her anyway. "Hey sweetheart? Has there been, like, anything bothering you lately?" She turns her head to face me, which is laying on my lap.

"Nah. Don't worry about it, love." I pat her head. I know she's lying... right? Ugh, I can't help but worry about her. It's been two days. I wonder what happened that night. "It's just... family stuff."

"You sure? It looks like something else judging by your face." She laughs a little.

"Babe, seriously, I'm fine! I would tell you otherwise." I nod my head and place a kiss on her forehead. She giggles and snuggles closer. I have to find out what's wrong. Maybe Sal will know?

{time skip!}

"Sal!" I burst through the door, seeing Sal play with Gizmo. "Now's not the time to be cute! I need your help." He faces me.

"What's up dude?"

"Well, it's Y/N..." He perks up. "Relax dude, she's fine." He sighs. "I'm just... worried about her. She's been, like, really on edge."

"Yeah, I've noticed. But I haven't questioned her because I knew she would hurt me." I snicker.

"Why? You afraid of her or something?"

"Sometimes! She can be really scary. Anyway, she doesn't like it when people worry about her too much. But I'm her best friend..."

"And I'm her boyfriend!" We stare at each other. "That's not the point. The point is that she's not telling me something. Sal, is there any, like, she hasn't mentioned? Something no one knows?" Sal is frozen for a moment.

"Actually, yeah, but it's kinda long."

"I'll hear it. If it means I can talk to her about it and make her feel like a million bucks again, I'll sit and listen to the whole thing!" Sal laughs.

"Alright..." He goes back to being serious. "Y/N has, or had, a sister. An older one, by three years. Her name is Madison. They were practically best friends, but her and her mom didn't really see eye-to-eye. They would constantly fight about big and little things. One day, she just... left. Ran way, I think. Y/N was devastated. She was thirteen at the time. Her sister was... sixteen I think. Then a few months later, Y/N found out that she died. Apparently she became a druggie and overdosed on heroine. At least, that's what the newspapers say. Personally, I think she's still out there. But that could just be wishful thinking."

"Duuuuuude. I would have never in my life guessed THAT."

"Well, if this is the reason she's been 'on edge', it's best that we don't bring it up. Unless she does. But if she still acts like this for a few more days, THEN we will say something."

"Deal. Man, I can't believe she hasn't told me."

"Yeah well, there is a lot that Y/N doesn't want you to know."

"THERE'S MORE?!"

"I mean..."

"Tell me, please!!" Sal sighs.

"Dude no! I can't just spill her whole—okay, one time in first grade she thought that the orange chalk was carrots so she ate, like, two and she had to use the bathroom super bad so she went... in the classroom."

"Dude, ew! Not THAT kind of back story! Although, that was pretty funny." We both laugh, tears falling down our cheeks.

"Okay, but seriously, don't tell her I told you that because she will get chalk and shove it down my throat."

"Sure man. My lips are sealed!"

{time skip!}

"Soooooo, I heard you ate chalk in first grade." Y/N turns to me with a red face. She then turns over to Sal, giving him her scary face.

"Sal, I'm going to kill you in two seconds. You better start running." Sal immediately starts running out the house and down the hall. Y/N still sits next to me.

"Uhh, aren't you...?"

"Nah, I'll get him in a bit. For now..." She sits on my lap, putting her head on my chest. "I'll just cuddle with you."

"Aw, okay. You can go kill Sal later." I wrap my arms around her.

Just do what Sal said. Don't bring up her sister.
