The stars twinkled beautifully above your heads as you and Sal sat together on the rooftop of Addison Apartments, the cold night air barely reaching you as you sat together, snuggled into a blanket.

Sal had his arm around you, carefully stroking your shoulder as you watched the stars together. Your face looked so lovely under the moonlight, a sight that made him ache to have what he couldn’t. To kiss you with his bare lips. But he knew they weren't soft, weren't unscarred and gentle like you deserved. He was afraid he would scare you.

“Hey.” He muttered softly, his breath coming out through the little mouth slit in his mask. His gentle eyes looked over at you as the two of you sat huddled together, Sal relishing in the warmth you provided in the little blanket cocoon the two of you were wrapped in.
