Travis Phelps is gay. It's one of the many things about himself that he hates, along with the chub he sees on his stomach that everyone else says isn't there and the dark roots of his hair that taint the blonde he dyes it. He calls the losers at his school "faggot" in hopes that one day he'll wake up and not be one himself. As though if he acts straight, it'll stick. After a while, the acting becomes easier, until he's almost convinced himself he really is straight. Until Sal Fisher comes to town, and suddenly, with his eye-catching blue hair and his odd face mask, he grasps Travis' heart tightly in his hand. Suddenly, it's not so easy to pretend anymore. spanish version on profile ! cross-posted on ao3. this fic does not have a happy ending. don't like? don't read.

Travis Phelps- the homophobic asshole that beat up the outsiders as a way to filter his own self hatred, stuck in an abusive household. He was miserable, gay and being suffocated by the grip of his father's religiousness. Sal Fisher- the new kid in town, the exact thing Travis hated. Gay and transgender, on the outside happy with his life. On the inside, dying from a heart disease and living with a verbally abusive alcoholic father. Both were miserable, though it was hardly obvious to outsiders. They were polar opposites yet the exact same. Brought together by the very same religiousness that was slowly killing them, the two are at first enemies. Though after growing together, they make a decision. They were going to run away. They were going to live how they wanted. Even if it killed them. cross-posted on ao3. this fic does not have a happy ending. don't like? don't read.

{cover art by bluespacio on instagram and edited by me} apologies for the slow updates, please be patient! *content warnings- physical abuse, emotional abuse, swearing, manipulation, blood please be wary while reading! ___ Travis Phelps. The biggest douchebag at Sal Fisher's high school. Even just hearing his name makes Sal's blood boil. Travis never misses a chance to beat Sal senseless or say horrible things to him and his group of friends. But what if there's something hiding underneath that rough exterior? Something...soft? Something kind and loving? Maybe Sal was wrong about Travis in the first place. Maybe Travis is hiding something in his heart he can't explain. Maybe if he could tell him... ___ #1 in salxtravis #1 in travisphelps #1 in salvis thank you!!^^ ___ {Sal and Travis, along with all other characters in this story, belong to Steve Gabry's (portablemoose) game Sally Face.
