Will made his way through the crowds, looking annoyed at the amount of people. Will was on a mission. It was the day before Valentine's Day and he hadn't gotten his partner anything to celebrate the day with. He was wanting something personal, something that said "I love you more than words can say" but he also wanted it to be something that would remind his love of the first time they had met.
2 years Earlier
Abby " Hi Will! Over here" Abby, Gabi, T, and Chad were out at the beach having lunch, and playing in the sand. Will was late because he ran into this amazingly beautiful man and couldn't help but to stop and have a conversation with him. Will walked over to the group, grabbed a sandwich, and plopped down on the towel. Looking up at the sky, he started blushing at the wild thoughts running through his mind about the tall, mysterious man he had just met and is now much in lust with.
Abby brought him back to reality "Will, what's up? Are you in loooooove?" and giggled when he turned an unnatural shade of pink. "Ah you are! I was only joking, but that blush tells me that you have met someone" She says as she plops down right beside of him and smiles. "Dish cousin, I want details!" Will smiles and starts to tell the group about this amazingly handsome man that he had met at the coffee-house. His name was Sonny, he owned the coffee-house, he was a Pisces, his birthday was March 1, he loved the coffee of the week, and he started a conversation about wonderful music with Will. As Will was telling the group about Sonny, they could tell that something had changed in Will, and hopefully for the better. Only time would tell.
Will's coming out process wasn't an easy one. He lost a few friends and family members when they found out he was gay, and he was still hurting from that and Chad was beginning to worry that Will was moving a little faster than he should. Especially since he had never dated a guy before. He had a hard time accepting that Gabi still loved him and still wanted to be his friend when he told her that he couldn't be with her the way she wanted. He still hadn't understood why, but once he realized what it was, he immediately went to her, his best friend. They hugged and talked all through the night, and their friendship had became stronger.
"Will, we're throwing a bon-fire tomorrow night in honor of V-Day. Why don't you invite your guy over for that? We'll all meet him, and you can have a date with him. In a comfortable, neutral environment?" Chad said as he tossed over a bottle of water to Will and opened his bottle, taking a swallow.
Will thought for a second and then answered "I'll call him and see what he's doing tomorrow." He paused for a second and replied "Isn't that a bit cheese though?" And wrinkled up his nose "A first date on Valentine's Day? And what about a gift? Do you gift?"
"Will, just call him. It doesn't have to be a date, since we're there, we can all just hang out. Relax!" Gabi added in with her cheeky little smile.
"Yeah man, just call him. We want to meet this dude." T said as he took a bite of his sandwich.
"That settles it" Abby said as she handed Will his phone. "You're calling him and inviting him to the bon-fire. And, you won't take no for an answer." And gave Will her innocent little girl smile. With that he knew he had to do it, so he called up Sonny Kiriakis. The first man Will had had feelings for. The first man who had ever made his heart beat fast and stomach do flip-flops at the same time. The first man he could see himself kissing. He called Sonny and Sonny said Yes. Tomorrow was going to be a great day, Will thought. Maybe the best day of his life!
