Work Text:
- as best friends:
- he spends most of his time with his group of friends
- he ghost hunts and looks for different places around town that could be potential spots for paranormal that he always tells you about
- “no i’m telling you the place by the skatepark is packed with ghosts. you have to believe me it gives me the chills”
- if he’s out with multiple friends, he makes sure you’re always the one standing next to him out of the group
- but that’s because he always has something funny to whisper into your ear as everyone is telling stories
- and because you usually quip back which makes him snort
- he also enjoys hanging out with you alone where you either both play video games, have a music session, or just talking about school and other personal thoughts
- he is a good listener and wants to hear everything you have to say no matter how little he understands it
- there is always a response tho since he actively listens
- whether it be a joke or a comment about whatever you’re saying, he doesn’t leave a blank space when you speak because there is always something to talk about with you
- unless it’s for emphasize then he’s just messing around
- he definitely asks you for your thoughts on new music pieces
- like will call you at 4 in the morning to tell you he wrote something “worth your attention”
- “sal, its 4 in tHE MORNING why are you calling me”
- “well i finished this part on my guitar and i wanted to show you so i need you to come over…please” and he’s very awake and ready to blow your mind as he makes you walk the block to his house
- “if this does not rock my socks off, you’re dead meat, sal fisher”
- but that also means he goes on midnight runs for you since you come over to hear him play
- if you want a soda or obscure candy you haven’t had in years from the gas station all of a sudden at 2 am, you know he’s walking out the door to go grab them for you
- he does complain at first tho but he’ll go
- “it’s like a block away you go get it yourself” he says as he’s putting on shoes
- “sal pleaseeeeee”
- “no i know you’re doing those eyes at me over the phone…i’ll be there in 5” but he’s happy to help you and make you happy any way that he can
- dating:
- dating sal wouldn’t be much different, except you’re usually together more often and there is more affection
- he actually gets more sarcastic with you because he likes seeing you huff and tease back
- group hang outs aren’t weird either with you both dating since todd and neil take up most of the pda attention
- sal doesn’t give me huge pda vibes but he definitely doesn’t mind you sitting in his lap while watching movies, laying his head in your lap, or putting his arm around your shoulders when talking to everyone
- it’s hard to tell, but if you were to kiss his hand while it was draped around you or start playing with his hair while his head is in your lap, he would lose his composure for a split second and be lost in his thoughts for a good minute
- mainly because he’s not use to so much loving affection and the way your fingers feel on his head makes him feel dizzy
- instead of him doing your late night runs, you both do them together when neither of you can sleep
- restless nights call for random gas station food and slurpees
- OH also sal suggested one day while you were grabbing some chips in the aisle that you both should get one red and one blue slurpee
- the motive clicked and he was melting inside because you both were newly dating and he didn’t want to weird you out
- but you agreed with a slight smirk and you went back home with a purple tongue
- he definitely asks to do that everytime on your regularly scheduled sleepovers
- “i think i want the blue one tonight”
- you roll your eyes and grab a cup, “you’re about to taste both of them so does it really matter?”
- “have some class in this below average 7-11 please and thank you” and you both laugh a sleep-deprived laugh
- now leading to his mask: he became comfortable taking his mask off around you when you were best friends first and then has trusted you ever since
- he was beyond worried about showing you and you leaving, and he still is to be honest, but he knows that you love him just as much as he loves you
- he still keeps it on most of the time because he’s comfortable in it, but doesn’t mind leaving it off when it’s just you two in the shared house
- your first kiss is something he likes to think about a lot because it wasn’t how he imagined it before dating
- he imagined driving to the lake at night to look at the stars and leaning over to kiss you then (which he did end up doing afterwards)
- but what actually happened was you came over alone to play a new game he just bought for you both
- he was nervous the entire time because you were in his lap messing with his ring clad hands and making commentary about the game the whole time
- he got really hot from being so close and decided to take his mask off with you still there and you turned to look behind you and there was a moment where your sentence didn’t finish and you both just looked at each other
- and then his hand was on your face pulling you in as his lips lingered on yours softly
- his heart was beating so fast and heavy in his chest that he was worried you could feel it but he forgot about that when you pulled him in closer to deepen it. he thought about that kiss nonstop for days after that
- sal is a starer. point blank he loves to look at you when you’re not watching and just admire your features
- ok so this one is controversial, but i don’t think sal gets that jealous
- he definitely does get jealous but not over people like larry or ash or any of your friends because he trusts them just like you
- if anything, he would get jealous at random people at house parties trying to come on to you in front of him
- that’s when he gets slightly possessive and doesn’t mind pda
- he wouldn’t take off his mask and make out with you right there
- but if he’s feeling confident he has his hand splayed out on your upper thigh while he’s glaring daggers at the person trying to flirt with you
- if he’s not really into it, he’ll take you to another part of the house or outside to lose the person
- because of his job hunting ghosts, he doesn’t always want to take you especially after you start dating because he wants to protect you
- and usually you end up going to protect him too
- dates for sal normally come spontaneously
- you’re studying for a quiz and then suddenly he’s calling you saying to get dressed for a date
- it’s usually something small too like a picnic or a trip to the lake “because the moon looks incredible tonight” but it’s his way of showing you how much he loves you
- he likes to be with you when you work on projects or when you’re studying because then he can study you and watch you work
- he can keep to himself most of the time and is a great encourager when it comes to school or if you’re stressed
- “sal, if i have to write another paragraph i’m going to combust” you said stretching from hours of poor posture
- “you’re almost done and when you’re done, you can lay on me and we’ll watch a movie. Or sleep”
- he likes to kiss your temple when you’re working so not to distract you but letting you know he’s there for you
- something he hasn’t told you is that he has been taking art lessons from ash to try and draw people so that he can draw you and capture how he sees you in the moment
- they are all rough sketches and he wants to show you when he is happy with one
- he is always the one to show you new music that he likes and gets really excited to have you listen
- he connects through music and sharing it together is his love language on its own
- there is nothing he can’t talk to you about and you are almost always the first person to know about everything
- new gadgets him and Todd are making? he’ll come in explaining the process of what it does
- or even the smallest things like how the grocery store is out of his favorite chips
- overall 10/10 ghost hunting best friend and boyfriend who loves you very much <3
