Will wandered aimlessly around the Square for what seemed like an hour, when he has been walking for ten minutes. A part of him felt anxious and nervous because of Nick. He was also feeling a lot of resentment and anger towards him. He just wished that there was some way that he could tell Nick to back off and quit with his venomous threats. Not only was Nick was getting on Will's nerves, but he was also getting on everyone else's nerves. They just were just slouching in their corners like cowards, afraid that if they did something to Nick, he was the one that was going to get them back for what they did too him. Will scoffed under his breath at the thought.
Will found his way in front of the coffeehouse and stood there for a few minutes before he went in. A smile came to him when he remembered the exact day and almost the exact time when he came out to Sonny. A few of the lights were on from the outside as he stood outside the door before he went in. The door was unlocked as if he was being expected. When he opened the door, a few of the lights were dimmed and a candle flickered light flames around, casting off shadows of a few mugs on the table and the couch that had a small dent to where Sonny was sitting from before. Will walked towards the counter and before he could say anything, someone stood behind him.
"Can I get you anything?" Will turned around to see Sonny.
"Uh yeah."
"What's that?"
"You." Before Sonny replied, Will gently grabbed his face in his hands and gave him a deep kiss.
"What's with the candle by the way?" Will said after they had gotten out of the kiss for some air.
"I was actually saving that."
"For what?" Will's eyes widened.
"Before I answer that question, do you want coffee?"
"Yeah. A straight old cup of joe." Will laughed at the comment. As it was the comment he mentioned a year ago.
"Sticking to your guns as always." Sonny knew at the same time that he made the same comment as well. They were both well aware that it was the same time of day that Will came out to Sonny, but neither of them mentioned it to each other.
"Yeah. And I like when you work this time of night. Because that way, we could both relieve all the stress."
"I know tell me about it." Sonny said before he moved to one of the stools beside Will.
"There is something I have to tell you though."
"Yeah, what's that?" Sonny looked into Will's blue eyes that had him under a spell in seconds.
"After all that has happened, I'm glad that you are here to help me through it."
"Like I said before Will, I'm not going anywhere. I love you."
"I love you too. Oh I just remembered something." Will played on a smile.
"Like what?" Sonny did the same thing as well.
"I was thinking about it all day, and I realized that it's been a year today since I came out to you."
"I was thinking about that too."
"Really?" Will's eyes went wide with anticipation.
"Yeah. And to the question you asked me before, that's why I lit a candle. For our one year anniversary of fighting for each other until we became stronger everyday."
"That was the day I fell in love with you. I didn't want to admit it at first. Because I thought I would scare you away. But now, I feel like we have gotten to get better everyday." Neither of them couldn't have said it better.
"Will, whether if was yesterday,or even today or last year, I feel like I'm falling in love with you each time you do or say something that's right. I fell in love with you that same day. And I will never love anyone the way I love you." With that said, Will was almost about to cry when Sonny took his lips. They broke free after five minutes for air. Sonny held the candle between him and Will. He looked into his eyes one more time, before they blew out the candle together. One year they have been together,and blowing on that candle, they wished for more years.
Since that night, it was a tradition for them to do the same thing, saying the same things. And they both knew no matter how old they get, to them it was like falling in love the first time.
