Maybe We Can Give This A Shot? {Travis X Sally Face Fanfiction}

Part 7

I smiled a little bit at what Henry just said,

"Thank you Mr. Fisher (Henry), at least someone thinks so."

Henry chuckles at what I said, I looked up in confusion.

"Please Travis, call me Henry. Also I have a question."

He looks around the room, and then leans forward,

"Hey, is Sal gay? I wouldn't be upset or anything, I've just been wondering. He's never brought a girl home, except for Ashley, but I know how he feels about her. All the rest have been boys, but friends. I was actually quite surprised when he said someone else that I haven't met before was coming over."

I give him a little smile,

"I don't really know myself Henry, and even if I did, I should leave it up to him to tell you. That would outing someone and that's not cool."

Sally has been teaching me about the LGBTQ+ community these past few days and so he told me what to say in a situation like this. There is a lot to learn but I'll learn it. Henry smiles at me,

"Yeah you're right. I'm glad Sally has someone like you, Travis. You seem like a good person."

As Henry was finishing the last sentence, Sal walked back into the room, only there was something that I didn't really quite expect. Although it was bound to happen eventually. Sally walked in without his mask on. For the first time, I got to actually see him smile at me.

I tried to stand up but I remembered about my ankle. He had scars all over his face, probably from an accident that happened a long time ago. He was beautiful! Absolutely beautiful! The scars are all unique, and I couldn't imagine him any better!

"Sally...you look...amazing! Wow! I'm just...speechless!"

I'm grinning like an idiot. Sally's eyes widens and he blushes. Tears start to stream down his face.

"Oh no, Sally is it something I've said? I'm sorry I didn't mean to-"

"No"
Sally looks at me with a smile,

"You didn't look away in disgust. After all my life of being called a freak, you say the the exact opposite. Thank you so much Travis."

Timi skipi:

Its been 2 months since I went over to Sally's place for the first time. My ankle was actually sprianed but my dad didn't press charges against them. It wasn't their fault. He did sure as hell give me a beating and made me stand on my ankle alone for a while.

We still haven't told anyone about our relationship, but Sally's friends have been asking why he hangs around me so much and why he protects me. Henry is also suspicious on why I come over so much, and why Sal acts so different around me and no one else.

So Sal and I decided to tell them that were gay and tell them were a couple all at once, at Sal's apartment. After that, all that's left is my dad. I don't know what I'm going to do then, but Sally can't be around when I do it. Sally will get hurt and I don't want him to get hurt anymore.

I was the first to arrive because Sal told everyone to come over later. Henry was already there because he lives there, obviously. It was then Larry, Todd, Chug, Ash, and finally Maple. Sal's friends were all looking at me weird and giving me dirty looks. Especially Larry, sometimes that boy scares me. Their looks made my anxiety go up and made me feel really uncomfortable so I walked into the kitchen, where Sally was standing.

"Sal, are you sure you want to do this? I mean I know your dad will be alright with it because he really likes me, but your friends don't really like me. What if they act rash? I'm scared they'll flip out, especially Larry, and maybe Ash. They're super protective of you, I noticed."

Sally smiled at me,

"Are you sure you're not asking yourself that question? You seem way more scared that I am. Don't worry, if they flip out, it'll be on me. And I'm pretty sure they won't. They might get upset, but they're my friends. They'll adjust. They care about me, and soon they'll see how much you mean to me, so they'll come around. I'm tired of hiding. I want people to know how much I love you! Now the real question is, are you sure you want to do this? I'm not going to pressure you to do something you don't want to do. It's okay if you don't want to do this, I won't be mad or anything. I want to make sure you're ready."

Sally gave me a reassuring smile,

"They'll be happy for us. Well some might be happier for me, but they'll love you, don't worry. It's still totally your call."

I almost started crying,

"Yeah, I'm ready. Let's do this."

Sally walks out into the living room, and I followed. Everyone was sitting waiting for our announcement. Ash was sitting on the left arm rest, then Larry was beside her, then Todd, then Chug, and then Maple. Henry was sitting in the chair. We walk into the middle of the living room, and Sally clears his throat getting everyone's attention. Everyone stops talking and looks at the two of us.

"We have an announcement to make."

Sally grabbed my hand and took a deep breath,

"We are gay and we are in a relationship."

The room was silent, everyone had shock. Nobody moved until Todd got up and hugged us. He seemed so happy,

"I knew we traveled in groups! I just knew it!"

He had the widest grin. I think he's happy that  Todd and his boyfriend Neil aren't the only gays in the group anymore. I looked aver at the rest. Maple gave us 2 thumbs up with a genuine smile and said,

"I'm glad you two are happy!"

Chug said,

"I'm happy for you two! That must've been really scary to say."

Ash and Larry didn't seem to have the happiest of faces. I think they're still very mad at me. Larry got up and walked over to me,

"Hey, if you ever hurt my best friend ever again, you are dead meat. Got it?"

I quickly nodded my head yes and looked down. Larry put a hand on my shoulder. I looked up at him and he gave me a smile,

"Okay good. I'm glad I don't have to hurt you."

Ash walked up to us,

"Sal means a lot to us and we just don't want to see him get hurt. We now see you make him happy so I guess we're chill."

Things are going a lot better than I thought it would. I expected them to be screaming but they're taking it really well. It was all smiles until Henry got up from his chair. He had no facial expression. He walked over to us, him getting this close scared me a bit. My dad would do this to try to intimidate me. I looked over at Sal and he looked just as scared I was.
