Baby Blue (Sal x Larry)

-1-

(So this is my first Sal×larry Fanfic. Sorry if it sucks. ;-; please read the Description first)

   Its just like all the dreams before. Sal sees himself as his young self. Before the incident. His mom smiling and his dad not seen at the moment. Sal sees a dog but theres a group of people standing behind it.
   People wearing masks. The masks are designed like the dog that sits in front of them. 'Mommy...' He calls for his mom.
   He turns around to see Diana covered in blood. Her eyes filled with horror. Her insides on the ground infront of her.

   Sal begins to scream. He hears growling and whispering. Whispering horrible names and how its his fault. He slowly turns around back to the group of people. The dog becomes aggressive.
   The dog lunges at sal and he screams. He wakes up panting. Droplets of sweat roll down his forehead. He tries to calm his heart rate by breathing. He looks at the time. 2:45am.
   He reaches for the walkie that Larry gave him. "Lar... Are you awake?", he asks. He waits a few seconds. "Yeah dude. You okay?", he asks. "Yeah. Just a nightmare.", Sal says.

   "You wanna talk about it?", Larry asks. "Y-yes...P-please...", Sal replies, stuttering. He waits a few minutes. He puts his glass eye in. He straps his prosthetic on and put on his shoes. He begins walking towards the door.
   He makes sure his dad is asleep. Every since his mom died, hes been a raging alcoholic. Sometimes he takes his anger out on Sal. He sees his dad passed out cold on the couch with tons of beer bottles lying around. He sneaks out the door.
    Once hes clear, he makes his way to the elevator. He waits for the elevator to come up. When the door opens, hes surprise to see Larry. Larry pulls him into a hug.

   They get back onto the elevator. They go down to the basement. Sal still has his arms around Larry. "You can crash in my room, little dude.", Larry says. Sal's face warms up but hides it behind his mask.
    'Blushing? Why am i blushing?', Sal thought to himself. Larry is Sal's Best friend. Theres no way he could fall for Larry... Or maybe he has.
   "Are you coming?", Larry asks, snapping Sal out of his thoughts. "Y-yeah.", He responds. Larry has a worried look on his face.

   They both walk to Larry's apartment. They go to Larry's room. Sally plops down on Larry's bed. Larry sits next to Sal. "Does it ever get uncomfortable wearing the Prosthetic?", Larry asks.
   Sally nods. "Sometimes but i perfer to keep it on. Id rather risk being uncomfortable than to have people see my fucked up face and call me names.", Sal says. "I dont think so.", Larry says.
   Sal's face heats up some more. Good thing the prosthetic covers it. Sal looks down in sadness. Larry sits closer to him.

   This makes Sally's face heat up even more. His breathing becomes a little heavy. "Youre my best friend, Sally Face. Id never think of you any differently.", He says with a smile. 'His smile', Sally thought. Sal shakes his head to shake that thought out.
    "You okay?", Larry asks. Sal nods. "So, tell me what your nightmare was about.", Larry says. Sal let out a sigh. "It was the same as last time and every time before that.", Sal says.
"People in cloaks and the dog... The dog who killed my mom and made me into a monster.", Sal says. "Sal...", Larry says.

    Sally looks up into Larry's. Honey brown eyes. Larry smiles. "Youre perfect the way you are. With or without the mask.", Larry says. Sal smiles too. Larry cant see it but knows he does by looking at his eyes. He squints when he smiles.
   "We should get some sleep. We have school in a few hours.", Larry Says. Sal gets up and lays on one of Larry's bean bag. He covers up with a blanket.
   Larry lays on his bed. Sal turns his back to him and removes his prosthetic. He takes his glass eye out and puts it in a glass of water.

   He peaks over his shoulder to see Larry looking at him. His face turns more pink. "What?", Larry chuckles. "N-Nothing.", Sally replies. Sal puts the prosthetic to his face but doesnt strap it on.
   He lays back on the bean bag. He checks to make sure its clear to uncover his face. Larry rolls over, his back towards Sal. Sal puts his prosthetic aside but he couldnt sleep. He questions what hes feeling towards Larry.
   Larry has been his best friend since day one. Ash and Todd also became some of his close friends. All are close but him and Larry? They had a special bond. Both lost a parent. Both are seen as outcasts. Sal keeps tossing and turning on the bean bag.

   'Larry is straight. Besides, he wouldnt want to be with someone who looks like i do.', Sally thought to himself. The thought hurt his heart. He didn't sleep. Hes awake until its time to get up for school.

    He sits up and traces his scars with his index finger. A reminder of that day. A tear falls from his eye. He tries to be quiet but not quiet enough. Larry sits behind him and holds him.
   "Its okay, little dude. Im here. Ill always be here for you.", Larry says. Sal smiles but soon panics since he didnt have his prosthetic on. "My Prosthetic!", he yells. He reachs for his prosthetic.
    Larry comes around so hes sitting in front of him. "Blue?", he coos. Sally just holds his prosthetic to his face. Larry reaches up and grabs Sal's hands. He tries to lower his hands but Sal keeps the prosthetic to his face.

   "Please, Blue?", Larry says softly. "Promise you wont leave?", Sally asks. "I promise.", Larry says with a smile. Sal loosens up.

   Larry and Sally's hands drop with Sally's Prosthetic in his hands. Sal close his eyes. He didnt want to see Larry's reaction. "You look amazing, Dude.", Larry says. Sal's face becomes a light red.
    Sally looks up at Larry. Larry cocks his head to the side and smiles. Sal immediately puts the prosthetic back to his face. "Asshat...", Sally whispers with a pout.
    Larry chuckles. "What? Ive never seen you smile, or blush. This is the first youve shown me your face.", Larry smiles. "Youre okay with seeing me without my Prosthetic on?", Sally asks. "Of course, dude. You dont have to wear it around me.", Larry says.

   Sal lays the prosthetic next to him on the floor. A smile creeps on Sally's face. 'Ive always wanted to see his smile. His cute smile....", Larry thought. No. He cant like Sal. 'Sal blushed', Larry thought.
    "Okay. Let's get ready for school or we will be late.", Larry says. He hugs Sal and gets up off the floor. Sal's mind wonders. He must keep his feeling towards Larry a secret. Larry thought the same with his feelings towards Sal.
    They both fear it would ruin their friendship and that the other may think they're weird. Maybe he can talk to Ash and Todd about it, Sal thought. Sal gets up and puts his shoes on, his glass eye in, and he puts his prosthetic back on.

   School is hell for Sal. Mostly because of Travis. The stereotypical bully. Its only the first week of school and Travis picks on mostly Sal, Larry, Todd, and Ash.
    Larry gives him a worried look. "Is it just the Nightmare that kept you awake?", Larry asks. "Yeah...", Sal lies. That wasnt the only thing keeping him awake and both Sal and Larry know it. Larry knows Sally's Tell.
    He knows when Sal isnt being completely truthful but doesnt push it. Larry smiles. Larry goes to his closet. Sal is already dressed. He sits on Larry's bed. He eyes Larry as he removes his shirt. He traces his back with his eyes. Sal, snap out of it! Sal turns his head to a different direction.

   He has his glass eye in and prosthetic on. He hides his blush behind the mask. Larry grabs a shirt and turns around to see Sal. A shirt in hand a bare chest. Larry chuckles. "Your ears are pink, Sal.", Larry says. Sal reaches up and feels how hot his ears are. He covers his ears. Larry Chuckles.
