Deception
Chapter One

"So he's my baby brother now?" two and a half year-old Chad asked, looking up at his big brother.

"Yes," EJ said, "It is part of the family now," he said, looking at the baby in his arms. He didn't really know what to do with it.

Great, EJ thought, I called him an "it."

"But I thought he was Sami's baby," Chad said, looking at him with wide eyes.

"No, he's father's baby," EJ said, sitting on the couch beside him, trying to hold the baby that wasn't even a year old yet.

"Who's his mommy?" Chad asked, "Does he have a different mommy like you and me?"

"Uh..." EJ said.

Kristin walked in, "Oh," she grinned, playing along so Chad would think the same thing they needed Will to think, "Is that our new brother?"

"Yes it- I mean, he is!" EJ smiled, nodding to her.

William was going to have a great life as a DiMera.

Six Years Later

"See? You go down the slide, not up it! Stupid!" Chad said under his breath, helping six year-old Will go down the slide.

"I want to play in the sand box," Will said, his blue eyes looking up at his big brother.

"Fine," mumbled the eight year-old and he grabbed Will's hand and drug him over to the sand box, "Play then."

"I'm gonna tell EJ you're being mean to me!" Will said, pointing at him.

Chad huffed and sat beside him.

"Hi!" a kid with black hair ran over, a blonde girl following, "Can we play too?"

Chad looked at them suspiciously and then looked at Will.

"Yeah!" Will chirped, "I'm Will!"

"I'm Abby and this is Sonny!" she giggled, sitting down, "Your hair is pretty like mine," she looked at Chad, "You look weird."

Chad stuck his tongue out and Sonny tried not to laugh.

Abby watched as Sonny and Will built a castle together, "Hey, I wanna help!"

Chad rolled his eyes, sitting on the bench. He really was trying to act cool, but he wanted to play in the sand too.

"Sonny! Abigail!" Adrienne ran over with Jennifer and Adrienne quickly grabbed Sonny's hand, "You are not to play with him."

"Hey, back off, lady!" Chad stood up, "They were just having some fun!" he grabbed his brother's hand quickly, pulling him away.

"You're those DiMera boys!" Adrienne snapped, "Stay away from my son."

"Bye!" Abby waved.

"But we were having fun," Will looked up at Chad with sad blue eyes.

Chad sighed and sat Will on the bench, "We don't need anyone, Will. They aren't 'sposed to judge us just because of who our daddy is."

Will looked at him, "Why can't I have friends?"

Chad bit his lip. He knew the feeling from school, "I'll be your friend, Will."

"How can we be friends and brothers?" Will laughed.

Chad rolled his eyes, "DiMeras can do whatever they wanna do."

"Promise we'll always be together, big brother?" Will asked.

"Pinky promise!" Chad laughed, linking their pinkies.

"Friends forever and ever!" Will giggled and stood up on the bench and hugged him.

Chad thought about pushing him away but then sighed.

Ten Years Later

The search was given up for the Horton baby long ago. Will was thankful for his family. His siblings were all nice and his dad was nice to them when he was home and he never knew his mother. He was starting his sophmore year at high school now and he knew Chad wouldn't let anything bad happen to him.

"Hey!" Chad walked into Will's room. Chad was eighteen now and on his senior year of high school, while Will was sixteen.

"What?" Will groaned, hiding his face in the pillow.

"School," Chad said, "Don't make me dump water on you. And that coffee house is opening today. I want some caffiene. So we need to go early. So get up!"

Will sighed and got up, rolling his eyes.

"Oh, and EJ has a surprise for you!" Chad grinned, running out.

Will laughed quietly, grabbing his clothes for school.

Will ran downstairs in his gray hoodie, sighing when he saw his tall brothers waiting for him.

"Here," EJ said and handed a set of keys to him.

"What?" Will asked, looking at them.

"Those are keeeys, Will," Chad said slowly like he was talking to a baby.

Will glared at him.

"Well, you have your license, now you have a car," EJ said.

"Holy crap, really?" Will laughed.

"Yeah, you're driving me to school today. Don't kill me," Chad said and drug him out the door.

EJ laughed quietly, watching them. Will was a DiMera now, there was no doubt about it with his attitude. Of course, with their family it was easy to make a birth cirtificate, saying EJ's mother was Will's and their father was Will's. No one ever knew the difference once the search was called off.

He didn't exactly know why his father had wanted Will in their family.

And with how happy they were? He wasn't going to question it.

"So this place is cool," Chad said, looking around and stopped, "Great, look who owns the joint."

Will rolled his eyes, knowing it was Kiriakis, "Great," he snorted. Blushing when he saw Sonny smile. He'd seen him at school before he had the biggest crush in history on him. Sadly, he couldn't act on it, know his family's past with his family.

It was stupid really, in Will's mind. HE never had a problem with the family so why should he have to hate them?

Will bit his lip and walked up to the counter, "Hi," he said bravely.

What the hell? Chad thought, walking up beside his brother protectively.

"Hi," Sonny smiled, "I've seen you around school, right? You're the cute little blonde who's always blushing? Will, right?"

"Will DiMera," Chad said quickly, putting his hands on Will's shoulders, rolling his eyes, "Obviously, your family has a problem with him, so we'll take our business elsewhere-"

"Oh, please," Sonny rolled his eyes, "That fued is older than my uncle. I'm my own man and I can be friends with who I want."

Chad balled his fists when he saw Will blush again, "We have to get to school," he snapped, dragging Will out.

If Will wanted to date? Cool. As long as it wasn't a Kiriakis who told him he was cute the first time he talked to him.

Will put his things in his locker at the end of the day, trying to ignore how people walked around him like there was some kind of force field.

Until-

"Will!" someone yelled.

Will wipped around quickly when someone said his name that wasn't Chad, thinking someone was going to shoot him or something.

"Hi," Sonny walked up.

Will looked at him in shock. On top of someone talking to him, on top of a junior talking to him...a Kiriakis was talking to him. Again. For the second time.

"H-Hi," Will managed to stutter out, holding his books close to his chest.

Sonny smiled, "So, I kind of wanted to talk to you since your brother isn't around to try to kill me."

"Yeah," Will mumbled, "Sorry about him. He's just protective."

"Understandable," Sonny said quietly, "I mean...growing up in the DiMera mansion?"

Will rolled his eyes and started to walk to his next class, "It really wasn't that bad. My father is nice, contrary to popular belief. But he's only nice to the right people."

Sonny snorted, following him, "Right," he said.

"Why are you following me?" Will sighed, "Begging is a sign of weakness, I hope you know that."

"So what? Your dad taught you how to pick out weaknesses when you were growing up? No tossing a baseball around?" Sonny asked.

"He taught me how to play chess," Will rolled his eyes, "Are you just going to follow me and insult my family, Sonny?"

Woops, Sonny thought.

"No," Sonny said quickly, "I wanted to ask you something."

"Right," Will said.

"Do you want to-" Sonny started.

"Will!" Neil Hulthran ran up, "Hey there."

Neil was a senior with Chad and was also Will's best friend. Well...more like Chad's henchman in Sonny's mind.

"Hi, Neil," Will sighed.

"Chad sent me to come to pick you up. We need a ride home," Neil crossed his arms and looked at Sonny, "Um...did I interrupt something?"

"Yes," Will snapped.

"Well, um...we can't be late, c'mon Will," Neil said quickly.

Will sighed, "See you later, Sonny."

Sonny watched after him and sighed. Damnit.
