Sal Fisher x alien!reader
Aliens AU

Its been a couple months now, in Earth time, that you started living with your host family, the Fishers. Your people began to invade the small, water filled planet. Not with evil intentions, but with a simple curiosity of how they lived. Your people have done this with countless other planets, just to receive knowledge in exchange for knowledge of your people. Most planets were welcoming; others not as much. Of course your only so many moon cycles old and did not experience the previous encounters.

The earthlings were the closest to your peoples form. There only being slight differences in your bodies. Such as you had two hearts instead of one; your eyes were solid black; if you lost a minor body part, such as a digit, you were able to regenerate it. These were majority of the differences.

You were sitting on the couch in Larry's, a human which you had come to befriend from Sal Fisher, living room. Ashley, Sal, and Todd were there with Larry. It was movie night and it was your pick tonight, so you picked a movie called Alien. You were surprised by the movie, clutching Sal's hand out of fear from the movie.

When the movie was over, Todd adjusted his glasses. "Have you encountered an alien like the one in the movie (name)?"

You gulped, your solid black orbs moved to the ginger. "I..I have not. But, my elder has spoken of tales were he was the able to escape such a creature similar to this one. Although, it could have been a tale tall."

"Tall tale," Ashley corrected.

"Right." You nodded.

"Its about time for me and (name) to get going home." Sal stood and looked at the clock on the wall.

The bluenette grabbed your hand after you said your farewells then began the journey back to his apartment. Once you had reached the desired room number, it was time for dinner. Your meal consisted of sweet fruit, which is all your people could eat. There was small chat involved over the meal between you, Sal's father, and Sal.

After your meal, you excused yourself to dress in your nightclothes, which were some of Sal's clothing. They were a bit baggy on your form, but you didn't mind. They smelled of Sal and you wouldn't admit it, but you loved the smell.

When Sal entered the room, he laid out the pallet for you to sleep. You curled into a ball under your blankets and stared at Sal with wide eyes as he took off his mask. It astonished you every time he took it off. A pang of sympathy always wracked your hearts.

The blue haired boy noticed you staring and gave you a sad smile. He never told you what happened to his face and you left it a mystery, never wanting to upset the male.

You stood up and looked at the male that was half dressed. Your took his scared face in your (skin/color) hands and felt as if you would cry. This feeling of sympathy was never this bad before. Maybe because you had come to love this human?

"Sal Fisher," your voice broke as you spoke. "I'm so sorry this happened to you."

He closed his eyes and leaned into your dominate hand with a faint smile on his face. "Its okay (name).."

You sat with him on his bed and shared a tender moment, foreheads against each other. Everything was silent for a few minutes.

You decided to break the silence. "Can I sleep with you?"

Sal's blue eyes revealed themselves quickly and his face had a tint of pink. "What?"

"Can we sleep together tonight? Share the same bed?"

The pinkness got darkened before he nodded. "Um..yeah."

You crawled under the sheets and stared at Sal expectingly; he soon followed suit. The two of you remained in silence for minutes, staring, before Sal spoke up.

"What was it like on your planet?"

This took you off guard. Todd was the only one who questioned your origins.

"It wasn't a planet I was raised on, it was a ship." You began. "I was raised with fourteen other children, I was the youngest. We didn't have a parent, only a caretaker who would feed and educate us. I was the second best. Uni was always the best."

"Was the ship big?"

"Of course. It had to be. We had birth chambers, resting stations, feeding area, education centers, everything." You thought back fondly on your home.

"Do you know your parents?" Sal yawned while he spoke.

"Yes. At ten moons, we meet them."

As the questions and answers continued, you two began to get drowsy and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night you began speaking gibberish to the air, waking Sal. He couldn't tell what was wrong with you, but it seemed you were having a nightmare.

Sal moved the hair that was stuck to your face, placing a soft kiss on your forehead. The male wrapped his arms around your waist, pulling you close, and whispered sweet nothings to you as you slept. He knew nightmares all too well and was trying his best to calm your nerves, to which he was successful.

He stared at your now peaceful sleeping form and placed another small kiss on your forehead.

"I hope you never leave us (name)," he paused, assessing his feelings. "I think I love you."
