Summary
On a night that seemed like any other, a birthday passed in silence — untouched by memory, unnamed.
July 23rd.
Sasuke's birthday.
Yet, in the quiet of that forgotten day, something small and luminous insists on existing: Naruto.
Because he would never forget Sasuke's birthday.
And because he would never miss an opportunity to eat cake with him. Obviously.
Searching for that voice that might finally say, you are not invisible.

Summary
“Larold,” as Sal would jokingly and affectionately refer to him, was a blend of the names “Larry” and “Harold,” a nickname Sal had coined about a year into their friendship. Over time, Sal learned the true story behind why Larry despised his true name. He had always told their classmates that ‘Larry’ wasn’t short for anything, but in reality, that was a total lie—his full name was in fact Lawrence. A name that carried painful memories given that it was his father’s middle name.
The same father who’d walked out on him and his mother when he was only eleven years old.
Larry had whispered these details to Sal during one of their many late night conversations over their walkie talkies in the Addison apartments. His voice tinged with a mixture of angst and bitterness.

Summary
There’s a kind of possessiveness bubbling up, something Sal had never cared to acknowledge. It wasn’t the first time he felt this clawing jealousy in relation to his best friend. Admittedly, it had been a while since it had wracked him so strongly, enough to have his whole body feeling tense and on the verge of shaking. He didn’t like it, he didn’t want to think about it any longer. He wishes he hadn’t found the paper.

Summary
Sal liked being with him that way; lying on their backs, arms brushing, counting the humidity stains on the ceiling at the same time as if it were the most fun thing in the world. He felt safe, confident, protected, sheltered from the outside. He felt at home—he felt happy.
Then Larry spoke, and the atmosphere became tense as hell.
“Do you think I could see your face before the apocalypse happens?”

Larry Johnson did not want to go to prom, but something in Sal's eyes told Larry that Sal needed this. So he dressed himself up to do the one thing he hated. But, maybe something about this night will give him the courage to say the things he's always felt inside.
