it had started, Larry knew his little boyfriend was drunk now. how did he know? because he just found one of his ear rings on the table and a shoe on the floor. when Sal started leaving clothes everywhere he was drunk. alcohol made his clothes fall off apparently. he'd start by losing a shoe or two. then an earring or three. his jacket would be next. his pants, his shirt, his socks, then his underwear. Larry knew he needed to find him now, he didn't want to have to carry him naked out to the car.

"Sal!" Larry shouted. if he wasn't careful, his boyfriend would be up on one of the tables dancing with a couple other guys. god he was glad gay bars didn't have very strict rules. the manager often found Sal as good entertainment, but would also keep an eye on him, just in case. most of the bar seemed to enjoy Sal. he could be free and happy here. Larry sighed and grabbed his boyfriends mask from the ground. that meant Sal was really  drunk. he didn't often lose his mask. "Sal! get out here!" Larry shouted. he walked over to the bar tender. "hey Terry, you seen Sal?" Larry ask.

"lil blue? last I saw he was dancing over there. he was showing off." Terry said, pointing to the dance floor. Larry nodded and headed towards where he spotted. he sighed stopping to grab Sal's other shoe. after a few feet he stopped to pick up his jacket.

"Sally, love, I think it's time to go." Larry said, looking at Sal. Sal laughed him. "come on babe, we need to go home." Larry murmured. he walked over. "where did your shirt go?" Larry ask. Sal giggled and shrugged at him. Larry shook his head, grabbing Sal's hand.

"lemme go Larry." Sal murmured.

"no, I love you and you're going to hate me in the morning for leaving you to your own devices." Larry said. Sal pulled against him with a whine. Larry sighed and grabbed him roughly, throwing him over his shoulder. Sal burst into giggles. "bye Terry." Larry said. Terry snickered and waived as they left. this happened every once and a while, when Sal forgot just how little he was. he could handle his alcohol for about five shots, but anymore and he was hammered. Larry threw Sal's clothes into the back seat of his car and plopped Sal into the front seat. he buckled him up. Sal whined trying to push away from him.

"stop. I was having fun!" Sal pouted. Larry sighed and locked the door, closing it. he headed for the drivers side and jumped in. he headed for Addison apartments quickly, he needed to get Sal to their apartment before he did something stupid, well more stupid than getting half naked in a bar.

~~

Larry carried Sal over his shoulder into their apartment. Sal giggled as he was carried. Larry locked the door behind him quickly, making sure to lock the top door as Sal couldn't reach it. Larry dropped Sal onto the couch and took his stuff to the bathroom. he threw Sal's clothes into the hamper then took his earring and mask to the bedroom. Sal giggled happily and got up off the couch. Larry came back into the living room.

"Sal!" Larry shouted. Sal's pants were laying on the floor.

"yes?" Sal giggled. Larry sighed and headed into the kitchen.

"why are your pants on the floor?" Larry ask.

"why aren't yours on the floor?" Sal smirked. Larry sighed and shook his head.

"Sal, come on it's bed time." Larry said.

"no." Sal glared.

"come on Sally, bed time." Larry repeated. Sal giggled again.

"it's funny when you call me Sally." Sal grinned. Larry smiled slightly and shook his head. he pulled Sal to the bedroom and sighed.

"come on." Larry murmured. Sal finally let him pull him to the bedroom. he curled up in the bed with him.

~~

Sal moaned in pain as he woke up.

"hey love." Larry murmurs.

"shut up." Sal groaned. he slowly opened his eye's and moved his head to look up at Larry, whose chest he was laying on. "my head hurts." Sal grumbled.

"probably because you managed to down an entire bottle by yourself before I started finding your clothes everywhere. you lost your mask last night, so I knew it was time to leave." Larry chuckled.

"why did you let me do that?" Sal muttered.

"I didn't. I finally had to tell Terry he wasn't allowed to serve you anymore." Larry said. Sal groaned slightly, curling up.

"make it stop Larry." Sal whined. Larry kissed his head gently. "stop, your love, it hurts." Sal muttered, curling up and pulling the blanket over his head.

"I told you this was going to happen. you get shit faced, I take you home, you nearly cry in the morning, say it'll never happen again, then do it again next month." Larry replied. Sal poked his head out of the blanket to glare at him.

"well at least I have fun." Sal muttered.

"oh I have fun. there's nothing more fun to be then carrying my giggling, drunker than life itself, half naked boyfriend out to my car." Larry smirked. Sal's face turned bright red.

"I don't giggle." Sal huffed.

"then I guess I was carrying someone else last night." Larry chuckled. Sal growled at him and curled back up under the blankets.

"next time tell Terry no more than five shots of anything." Sal muttered. Larry simply chuckled and held Sal tightly, willing to hold him until the hangover went away.
