Baby Blue (Sal x Larry)

-29-

    "See you tomorrow, babe.", Larry says. Sal smiles. He covers himself in the sheet again. He grabs his prosthetic and puts it on. Sal heads back to his apartment. Larry continues to play his guitar.
   Sal goes to his room. Ashley is awake. Shes eating some M&Ms while watching horror movies. "Where have you been?", Ashley asks. "Went down to see Larry.", Sal says. She grins at him.
   Sal laughs and rolls his eyes. "No. Nothing happened. He was playing his guitar and singing... something he hasnt dont in forever. Then he massaged my back and shoulders.", Sal says.

    "Awe. That was sweet of him.", Ashley says. Sal smiles. "Yeah. I'm excited to see him tomorrow. I'm excited for the dance.", Sal says. "Me too. I got a new dress.", Ashley says.
   "I cant wait to see it.", Sal says but sighs. "What's wrong, Sal?", Ashley asks. "How am I gonna hide this?", Sal says, pointing to his belly. "We will find something. Itll be okay, Sal.", Ashley says.
    "We cant hide this. My belly is too big now.", Sal says. Sal begins to panic. He doesnt want anyone to know hes pregnant. "Sal, we will figure it out.

    Do you have any loose shirts?", Ashley asks. "None for a formal event.", Sal says. Ashley smile. "How about wearing some of my stuff?", Ashley asks. "Like a dress or a skirt?", Sal asks.
    Ashley nods. "I dont know Ash. I would like to be a guy this dance. This pregnancy is causing me so much Dysphoria.", Sal says. "Everybody knows already because of Nina. We all doubt it's just Travis.
    I'm sure she spread it across school. Wear what you wore on you're first date with Larry.", Ashley says. Sal sighs in defeat. "I dont know Ash...", Sal says.

    "We will get you done up tomorrow. Larry is to not come up here. He already knows. It's bad luck to see your partner before the dance.", Ashley says. Sal chuckles.
   "Ash, it's bad luck for the groom to see his bride before the wedding. Not a dance.", Sal says. "Oh. That's right. Well, he is not to see you before we are done here.", Ashley says. Sal rolls his eyes.
    "Dont roll your eyes at me. Besides, I have a cute idea.", Ashley says and pulls her bag onto the bed. "Ash, what is that?", Sal asks. She smiles.

    She unzips it and begins to pull dresses and other stuff from her bag. "You want to be masculine, Right?", she asks. Sal nods. She hands Sal a button up black shirt.
   "Put this on.", She says. Sal stands up and puts the shirt on. He turns to the side. "Its loose and you cant even tell.", Ashley says. Sal checks himself out in the mirror. He shows just a little.
    "I suppose this all work. What about pants?", Sal asks. She pulls out a pair of maternity jeans. They are black to match the shirt. "Ash...", Sal says

   "What? I told you that you need maternity cloths. It's just the pants. Put them on and tell me how they feel.", she says. Sal gets undressed and puts the pants Ashley hands him.
   "How do they feel?", she asks. "Good. Not too tight but also not too loose.", Sal says. He looks himself in the mirror. "It looks good. Not gonna lie there but belly is still noticeable.", Sal says.
   Ashley gets up off the bed. "You will look great tomorrow. I promise. Now, let's get to bed. We have all day tomorrow to get ready.", she says. Sal gets undressed.

    He puts his pajamas back on. Ashley and him both crawl back into bed. The thing with the 4 of them, is that they can cuddle together and it not be weird. Sal never cuddled with Larry until weeks before they started dating.
    Sal could cuddle with Todd and Ashley know problem but with Larry? He couldn't. He has always loved Larry. Ever since the day he moved into 402.
    Even now, he still cuddles with Ashley and Todd as they sleep. Now he cuddle with Larry too. Sal couldn't really cuddle with others because of his belly.

   Ashley put a hand on Sal's belly. Sal slept sitting up with a pile of pillows behind him. She feels the baby move. She smiles as she feels it. They fall asleep quickly. Meanwhile, Larry lies awake.
    After Sal left, he continued to play his guitar. He even started a song for Sal. Hes gonna save the song for when he purposes to Sal. He then continued to draw and paint.
    Hes too anxious for the dance tomorrow night. Hes anxious now but when Senior Ball comes around, hes gonna have a break down. Thatll be the perfect timing to purpose.
