Baby Blue (Sal x Larry)

-26-

3rd person POV

   Larry and Sal stay in the locker room for a few minutes. Everyone leaves except them... and Travis. Once they know its just them, Larry goes and finds Travis. He spots Travis.
   Travis sees Larry and Sal coming his way. He prepares himself. Larry grabs him by his shirt and pins him to the wall. "Tell me Phelps, why I shouldn't kill you?", Larry asks.
   Travis knows what Larry means. Travis looks at Sal. He looks down. He sees Sal has a little bump. "You're pregnant...", Travis says. Sal's heart and stomach drops to the floor.

   He thinks quickly. "I-I'm not pregnant.", Sal says. Travis grins at him. "You can't fool me, Fisher. Nina already told me. I didn't believe her at first but now that I can see...", he pauses.
   He looks at Larry. "So, is it mine, Larry's, or the other 2?", he taunts Sal. Sal backs away. Flashbacks from that day run in his mind. He shakes his head.
   Sal starts having a mental breakdown. Sal backs up into a wall. Larry and Travis watch him. Sal puts his hands on his head. He yanks at his hair violently.

   "No... no... No!", Sal repeats to himself. He bangs the back of his head on the wall behind him. "Sal...", Larry calls for him. He bangs his fist on the wall. Travis takes the opportunity while Larry is distracted.
   He pushes Larry back. Larry turns his focus back to Travis. He grabs him again by his shirt and slams him into the wall. Larry puts a hand on Travis's neck.
   He starts to squeeze, choking Travis. Travis manages to swing at Larry, hitting Larry in the face. Larry has a red mark on his cheek. It quickly swells and bruises.

   Larry still has a grip on his shirt. He brings his fist back and punches Travis, giving him another black eye. Travis falls over and pulls Larry down with him. A full fist fight breaks out between Larry and Travis.
   It doesn't help Sal's mental breakdown. It makes it worse. Sal brings his knees to his chest. He rocks himself. He starts crying for Larry. Finally, Ashley and Todd come running in.
   Ashley goes to Sal and Todd goes to Larry. Todd grabs Larry off of Travis. Larry's nose is bleeding and he has a split lip. A bruise on his cheek.

   Travis is more bloody and bruised. Larry keeps trying to get at Travis. "Larry! Snap out of it!", Ashley yells. Todd pushes Larry against the wall. "Larry, look at him.", Todd says softly. He points at Sal.
   "Go take care of him. I'll finish him.", Todd says. Todd isn't the one to fight anyone but for what Travis did to Sal, hes finishing what Larry was doing.
   Todd rolls up his sleeves. "Usually I'm not the type to fight people but for what you did to Sal, I'm making an exception.", Todd says. He takes his glasses off.

   He sets it on top of some lockers. Grabs Travis by his shirt and decks him in the jaw, knocking out a tooth. Travis spits up blood. One eye is swollen shut. Swollen lip and jaw.
   Hes had enough. "Let this be a lesson for ya, dont talk, look, or come near any one of us or this will happen again.", Todd says. Meanwhile, Larry rushes to Sal. He kneels in front of him.
   He puts a bloody and bruised hand on Sal's knee. "Baby Blue...", he coos. Sal looks up. He takes off his mask. He lunges forward at Larry.

   He wraps his arms around Larry's neck, pulling him into a tight hug. Sal wraps his body around Larry's. Larry falls backwards from how hard and fast Sal lunged at him. Larry rubs Sal's back.
   Ashley goes to Todd. She cleans his knuckles off. He grabs his glasses and unrolled his sleeves. "We need to go.", Ashley says. "I'm trying to get up but I have a Sal on me.", Larry smiles.
   But Larry manages to get up with Sal clinging to him like a koala. Sal let's go but Larry makes sure he doesn't just drop to the floor.

    Sal is on his feet again. He grabs some paper towels and gets them wet. He takes the paper towel and cleans the blood off of Larry's face. Larry brings his hands up to Sal's face.
   He takes his thumbs and wipes the tears from Sal's eyes. Larry kisses Sal's forehead. "I told you I'd get justice for you. Look at him.", Larry says. Sal shakes his head.
   "I don't want to look at him, Lar.", Sal says softly. "Okay. You dont have to.", Larry says. They continue to clean the blood off of Larry's face and knuckles. Larry hisses in pain.
