Sal x Reader- Makes You Think

                                    

                                          
Sal's POV
I walked hand in hand with my partner, Y/N, into our shared apartment. We moved in a couple of months and we have settled in quite well. As they unlocked the door, I started to unbuckle the straps of my prosthetic. 
                          
Y/N opened the door and let me step in before closing the door, "Sal?", I hummed in response , "Can you see the GearBoy?". We used the GearBoy way back in Addison Apartments to look for paranormal activity but when we moved out we just- never had a chance or reason to use it. So it just sits on the shelf in our bedroom. "Have you looked on the shelf? That's where I last saw it.", Y/N came through to the living room with the GearBoy in hand, "Why d'you need it all of a sudden?". They just placed a finger on my lips and continued to play the game. Then a flicker of a ghost came up in-front of us. "Fucking new it", they mumbled underneath their breath.
                          
I watched as they stood up and place the game on the coffee table before wandering over to the next couch and face planting on it. I laughed under my breath and stood up. "What's wrong?"
"Nothin'"
"You being lazy today?"
                          
A hum of affirmation is what I got in return. So I sat on the cold wooden floor with my back against the couch and finished taking off my mask. "Sal?", "Yeah", "Come here".
They stuck their hand out and made grabby hands, which made me giggle. I sat cross legged next to Y/N's face, they turned to face me. "Hey", "Hey,". They reached out and touched my face carefully, tracing every indent and scar on my face. "Y'know I love you right?", they said, "With everything I own and more?".
"Of course. And I wouldn't change my love for you. Ever."
"Not even to raise someone from the dead?"
"Not even-", I stopped short. Why would they ask that kind of thing.
                          
"See. It makes you think. What if trading your love, could bring back someone else you love."
They moved their hands from my face and rested their head in it, before sitting up. "Sally, I want you to be completely honest with me. Okay?" I nodded "If you could bring back your Mother by leaving me, would you?" My mind went blank. Would I leave the love of my life? To bring back the person who gave my life a purpose? Could I? Would I? No I wouldn't The sheer thought of it made my eyes water and heart burn. "Sal, love. Don't cry on me."
                          
I lifted my head and looked them dead in the eye. "I loved my mother so much. But to bring her back now would be- stupid" My voice cracked halfway through the sentence "You are my world, Y/N. You are everything to me. I wouldn't leave you if I had the choice. Ever." By the time I had finished, both of us where on the floor crying. They shook their head, "Such a fucking sap." I smiled, they continued "Kiss me you fool." I brushed their H/C hair away from their face and rested my forehead against theirs, they looked into my eyes and gently connected our lips. My hands wandered to their waist and I felt hands behind my neck. 
                          
Much to the dislike of my partner, we had to break for air. "I love you, so much.", they whispered under their breath, "Don't let anyone tell you different." Their eyes where still closed and their breathing still un-even. I kissed them on the forehead and stood up. They tilted their head to watch my figure walk away. "Sal?", "Yes, Y/N.", "Do you ever- want to be more than you are?", I turned on my heel to face them, "I'm afraid, I don't follow.", "Like. Do you ever want to do more for others? Or help more people than yourself?"
"Sometimes, I guess. But I'm happy where I am. And I do what I can to help people." They nodded slowly before replying, "I'm scared."
                          
They got up and walked over to me, "I'm scared of myself, I'm scared of the outside world, I'm scared of-", they stopped short. I put my hand on their face as they leaned into the touch but shortly after pulled away, "Sal, I'm scared that I'm going to hurt you. I've done it to everyone else in my life. My mother, my sister (if you don't have one, now you do), for Christ sake! I nearly did it to Larry! I don't want to do it to you!" They where pacing across the room with their hands in their hair. "I care about you too much to hurt you, Sally. You look at me in a away that no one in my life has." 
                          
No One's POV
Y/N sunk to the floor and started to cry silently into their hands. Sally rushed over to them and took them in his arms. They returned the embrace and sobbed into their boyfriends shoulder. Sal whispered, "You won't hurt me. I trust you. You are everything and more".
