A new kind of relationship (sal x travis)

Larry's place PT.2

After a while of listening to gorillaz on repeat, Larry chimes up

"Guys!" He yelled loudly

"What..?" Sal asked

"We should drink Something!"

I feel my stomach drop

Oh no

"I think that'd be nice" sal said smiling
I couldn't help but fall deeper in love with him by the second

"What about you Travy?" Want something to drink?

Sal asked

I froze. I hate alcohol and the affect it had on people. Especially mom

She was usually nice. Until she drank.

"I-uhm," I mumble

"O-okay i suppose..?" I mumble

Shitttt Why'd i say yes.

Larry quickly stood up and walked over twoards a cabinet I assumed was a part of his closest, I was wrong.

He pulled out two bottles of liquid
One of them I recognised as whiskey and the other almost looked like water

"Here we go~" Larry said putting the bottles down in the middle of us

"Omg you finally have some good shit!" Sal chimes up

I can't help but feel uneasy, last time sal drank we had a fight.

Larry poured some whiskey into a short glass for me and sal, then he poured the see through liquid in one for himself

I grabbed the shot glass, it smells like home..

That thought upsets me a bit, my child hood home, all I remember is how it stinks of alcohol

I slowly lifted it to my lips and downed it as fast as possible without any reaction

Sal and Larry just glared at me

"Dude are you like ok?" Larry asked shocked

"What do you mean?" I ask him

"You didn't even react.." sal added

"Oh? Well it's not my first time drinking..?" I said

I had drunk before, everytime my dad chucked a half empty whisky bottle at me I went up to my room and finished it, it helped with the pain,

"Oohhh okay" Larry said

Sal just looked at me clearly questioning what I meant by that

.....

After a few rounds of shots we were all drunk,

We were giggling about boring stuff

"T-travis!" Sal said still giggling

"Y-yeah?" I asked trying to calm down
From all the laughing

"T-truth or dare?" He asked panting

"Dare?" I said

"Hmm.. I dare you to down the rest of the whiskey bottle

I grabbed it and looked to see how much was left

About a quarter of the bottle

I looked over to Larry who was now sound asleep on the floor

I looked back at sal

"Bet!" I said grinning

I popped the lid of and brought the next of the bottle to my mouth

And then I leaned back and just chugged

It was like at home

Once I finished it I looked back to sal

"Travy..? What did you mean by you drank before?" He aske curiously

"Oh- i-uhm nothing much.." I said (more like mumbled

"Tell me" sal said sounding worried

"I drank a bit at home sometimes no need to worry.."

"I am though.. you clearly still feel sad ..." Sal said sadly

"I feel so much better thanks to you sal, you really shouldn't bother with me anymore-"

"Don't." Sal said cutting me off

"I will worry, I'll worry till the day I die." He said sounding serious

I couldn't help but let out a shaky breath at that.

And then a quiet sob

"T-travy?" Sal said jumping closer to me before planting himself in my lap to whipe away my tears

"Hey- shhh, it's okay Travy I'm here" he said trying to calm me down

I just kept sobbing

"Hey hey, puppy calm down, I'm not gonna go anywhere.." he said rubbing my back

"Let's go home Travis.." he said

"N-no need, don't wanna ruin your day.." I said still crying

"You won't now let's go" he said leading me to the elevator

Once in his apartment we sat down on the couch

.....

"I need you to be honest now Travy." He said seriously whilst looking at me,

"Y-yeah? About what..?" I asked

"Do you want to hurt yourself right now?" He asked harshly

"I-i- no-Sal! You can't just ask that .." I responded

"And why is that ..?" He asked

"Because you know the answer.." I responded letting out another small sob.

"Oh god Travis." He said

But instead of jumping closer and hugging me, comforting me he jumped away from me

I feel like everything fell apart at that. I  feelt like a monster.

I let out another loud sob and the another and just kept going until I couldn't breathe

And the whole time he was sitting with his hand against his forehead, looking down

"I-im so -so s-orry." I let out between sobs

"Travis.." he said finally looking at me

"I can't believe that you'd still wanna hurt yourself!" He yelled

"You make me sick! After all I've done for you!? This is how you repay me?!"
He outright yelled

Just the I jumped up from the couch

Just a dream...

"I'm okay.." I mumbled to myself

"You good puppy?" Sal said walking into the living room from the kitchen

He came over and wrapped his arms around me as he planted kisses on my skin

"Just a nightmare.." I said just the he moved closer to my neck and started planting hickys everywhere he saw possible

"I'll stay with you so you feel better.. drinking does that to me too.."

He slowly pushed me back so I was lying down again, then he wrapped his arms around me.

"Sal.. I lov-" just then gizmo jumped up onto sal

Sal looked at me with sparkling eyes almost as if he was on the verge of tears

"No- I'm so sorry! Didn't mean to make you cry!" I said worried

"C-can you finish that sentence..?" He said softly

"I- I love you sal.." I said

A tear rolled down his cheek

"I love you too Travis.. more than you'll ever know.."
