While it was true that Sal had virtually offered Travis refuge from his strict father, he hadn't expected him to take the offer for verbatim. Needless to say, Sal was a bit surprised when the boy showed up at his door. sal x travis STARTED: APRIL 26, 2021

If a flap of a butterfly's wings causes a hurricane,,, What does a hurricane do? Sal Fisher, a boy diagnosed with severe depression who listens to metal. Most people think he might have gotten his life together. Travis Phelps, got diagnosed with depression as soon as he was able to leave nockfell. Most people hope he just died. What do they have in common? They both seemed to disappear right after graduation.

"Your silence will always speak louder than those insults Travis." -Sal "Maybe silence is for the better.." -Travis What happens when cliche bully Travis stops speaking? Why did Travis stop speaking? Why is he so timid? Who knows. These are just questions Sal has, they might never be answered. It might be too late. Maybe someone else steps in...

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.
