A new kind of relationship (sal x travis)

pizza tastes better the day after,

After Sal had found me ever so pathetically in the bathroom I had been trying to cheer him up, well to my best capability,

--------------------------------------------------------------
Sal walked into the Livingroom to check on me, a habit he had picked up after the other week's incident,  but instead of just peaking his head through the door frame he came and sat down next to me this time,

I started to feel that Sticky sensation again, just like before, I knew what he was gonna ask me,

I felt guilty washing over me,

"Are you doing good Travy?" Sal asked sounding cheerful, I don't understand why he tries to make me feel comfortable when he's clearly also upset by the matter,

I nodded and tried to avoid eye contact, just looking down in my lap,

It was all my fault, if I hadn't been so stupidly weak I'd be better, I know I'd be better,

I could feel his gaze on me so I looked up to meet his eyes, I hadn't in quite a while, I'd been afraid I'd I was being honest,

Afraid of what his eyes would hold, the way he would be looking at me, with hatred? Sadness?

But when his eyes ( eye) met mine he didn't look upset, nor angry,

Thank god.

"You sure you're feeling better Travis? You can tell me you know," he said placing his hand atop of mine

"Yeah, thanks sal" I said smiling at him feeling relieved,

"Anytime," he said back

"Oh and what do you want for dinner? We don't have any food at home.." he said looking through the cupboards and the fridge

"I could head over to the store if you'd like-" I started

"Nono it's fine, really, I'll order some pizza, the usual?" He asked looking at me

"Uh- yeah sure" I responded,
--------------------------------------------------------------
When the pizza arrived I couldn't help but feel a little ill, I hadn't eaten pizza since I almost relapsed,

Me and sal sat down on the couch with our pizza laughing about old school memories, like that one time he accidentally tripped me and I got sent to the principals office instead of him,

"It wasn't fair for them to just assume I did something!" I said jokingly

"Okay-okay! But like it was usually you who started it" he said with his mouth full of pepperoni pizza,

I let out a small laugh

He brought his hand up to place a strand of hair behind his ear since it kept getting in the way of his mouth Which made it more difficult to eat,

His electric blue hair had grown down to his waist, and mine had Also got alot longer since I left my home,

"I think we need to get a haircut" I said after finishing a slice of pizza

"I agree, I can cut yours, can you do mine?" He asked

I thought for a moment "I've never cut hair before" I said honestly

"That's fine, I'll teach you" he said smiling

"We can do it after we finish eating," he said smiling,

--------------------------------------------------------------
After eating what we wanted we put the rest in the fridge for later.

We walked into the bathroom where he pulled out a pair of siccors,

"So who first?" He asked smiling,

"Hmm can you fix mine first?"

He nodded and smiled brightly, his scars shifting upwards slightly as he did, and I couldn't help but notice how cute it looked,

"Your roots have grown out a lot" he said while cutting my hair"

"Heh yeah I know" I said sheepishly

"I think I have some bleach if you'd want me to fix it?" He said while cutting my hair

"Sure,"

He opened a drawer and grabbed the hair bleach,

"Why do you have that?" I asked genuinely curious 

I saw a bright blush creep onto his face

"Well ummm-" he started

"I- I kinda Also used to have my hair half red.." he said embarrassed

"Really?" I asked suprised

Then I laughed a little

"Hey! Don't laugh"

"You looked like a polise Siren?" I asked still laughing

He blushed harder,

"Here Travis, your hair is done!" He said before pointing at the mirror,

My hair was still a little long but it looked nice, he had also fixed up the bad bleaching of my hair that my dad had done once when he claimed I was "American enough"
Now my hair looked more like a neutral blond then a highlighter yellow

"Thank you sal" I said actually surprised with how good it looked

"My turn!" He said sitting down,

--------------------------------------------------------------
After cutting his hair it was back to almost his normal length if not a bit longer,

We sat down on the couch and started to watch the movie that was playing,
--------------------------------------------------------------
