~Baby blue~ [Larry x Sally]

The Calm Before The Storm

I step out of the elevator and walk down the silent hall to my apartment, I can hear the faint noise of the TV in the living room which could only mean two things, my dad got drunk and passed out on the sofa or Gizmo is watching TV again. I hesitantly open the door and step inside, the smell of beer and shame is strong and burns my nose when I breath in. I look over and see my dad passed out on the sofa with an empty beer bottle in his hand just like how I imagined, I would've helped him to bed but if I'm honest I really didn't want to deal with him. I go into my room and turn on the lights accidentally disturbing Gizmo who was napping on my bed, "sorry Giz" I whisper as I go past him to grab my bag. I randomly grab thing to take back to Larry's such as an extra hoodie, tank top for sleeping in and my pills, I threw my bag over my shoulder and gave Gizmo a quick stroke before leaving. I slip my way past my drunken "father" and carefully shut and lock the door behind me. Another walk down the desolate hall to the elevator with the MGP theme playing in the background. While in the lift I think to myself how I should visit Megan sometime tomorrow while I'm free, Larry is going out with his mom and my dad will be at work so it'll be a nice time to catch up with her. Lost in thought I didn't realise that the elevator reached the basement until the doors creaked open, I stepped out just before the doors shut back behind me.

I wonder back into Larry's room and throw my bag next to his bed, "hey Sal" I look over to Larry who was still on his beanbag but now in one of his old baggy shirts and sweatpants, he obviously had gotten dressed into something more comfortable probably in case he falls asleep in the middle of watching a movie or playing a game again, he sits back on the beanbag and gestures for me to sit with him, "I don't want you to be left out"
I make my way over to my friend and I can't help but slightly turn pink, it's probably just because he's being nice to me, but he's always nice to me.. I'm just lucky he can't see it through my mask. Larry has his legs spread on each side of the beanbag leavening a space between them for me to sit, I place myself down and feel his long arms wrap around my waist, "what movie do you wanna watch Sal?"

~time skip~

We stayed up watching Edward Shovelhands, I was held close by Larry the whole time. It felt nice to be loved again.. it wasn't until near the end of the movie when Lisa came home from working around the apartments and came into Larry's room to check on him startling both me and Larry, thankfully Lisa isn't as up tight as my dad and shrugs off the way me and Larry are seated smiling as she slowly closes the door and goes to her room.
Not while longer I feel Larry lay his head on top of my own, I knew he was becoming more tired, "wanna hit the sleeping bags Lar?" I feel him nod slowly and get up and stretch.

Sorry this chapter took longer to complete I'm not really that happy with it but I've been busy at school and trying to stop my writers block ;-; At some point in the future I'll probably go back and edit this chapter
