Is it wrong...If I love you? (SalxLarry)

Chapter 8 - Coming out

Hi! Sorry if writing is a little sloppy. I'm quite drunk but want to get out a new chapter. So here ya go! Big trigger warning!

A couple weeks had passed since Sally had broke down in front of Larry. Larry was true to his word, he gave Sal a house key which could use anytime to escape his dad. Sal hadn't had an episode since but Larry was always careful around him in fragile moments, and most importantly, he gave Sally all the love and attention he could ever want.

--------------

Sally woke up tangled in Larry's strong arms, as he did most mornings by this point. He almost never went home. The familiar scent of weed mixed with the sweet smell of Larry's mango shampoo filled his nostrils, instantly relaxing him.  He looked for his phone to check the time, but it was just out of his reach, Larry was holding him so tight that he couldn't move. Sal lay there for as long as he could. In time, he needed to go to the bathroom, and he knew they both had school today. He playfully kicked Larry in an attempt to wake him up. Larry half stirred, letting out a small "hmm" before burying his head in Sally's neck, trying to sleep. Sal laughed, Larry's breath was tickling his neck, he kicked Larry again, a little harder this time,

"Dude, move. We need to get up and I need to piss!" 

Larry sighed and just rolled out of bed, making a large thud as he hit the floor. Sally laughed at him and threw the duvet on top of the sprawled out, shirtless Larry. He got up and went to the bathroom, warning Larry to get up as he left the room.  Sal went to the bathroom, brushed his teeth and put his hair up in his usual ponytails. He stumbled out the bathroom to the sight of an overtired Larry, his long brown hair sticking up in all direction, his face contorting very unattractively as he yawned and stretched. Sally laughed at him, 

"Jeez Larry, how late were you up?" 

Larry half-heartedly smiled, clutching his head, obviously sporting some sort of hangover. 

"I woke up in the night for a smoke and a couple beers, I wasn't up that late..." 

Sal looked at Larry, raising his eyebrows and rolling his eyes,

"No wonder you smelled weird, come on, go clean yourself up and I'll go get you some painkillers"

Sal quickly jumped up to give Larry a kiss on the cheek and went to the medicine cabinet to get him some paracetamol. He wasn't happy that Larry had gone behind his back and given into his cravings, they were supposed to be helping each other. But he understood why Larry had though, he had a day of stressful classes ahead. Sally poured Larry a glass of water and set the painkillers next to it, then went back to Larry's room and got dressed, ready for school. Sally gathered up his things, preparing Larry's bag too so they wouldn't be late. He strapped his prosthetic into place as Larry stumbled out of his room, pulling his shirt down. Larry had taken the painkillers but they hadn't quite kicked in yet. Sal handed Larry his school bag,

"Ready Lar-bear?" 

Larry smiled and nodded, with that, they started to walk to school.

---------

As they approached the school gates, Sal turned to Larry,

"Hey, Larry?"

"Yeah, Sal?"

"I've been thinking... why don't we go public? Or at least our friends? I'm just tired of being hidden..." 

Larry was taken back, he'd never though about being openly gay, he knew that their friends would be ok with it since Todd and Neil are together but he didn't want people like Travis to find out. He turned to look at Sal.
