Sonny leans over the counter at the coffee house as Will sits across from him on the bar stool.
"Sonny, I know. I heard you the first time."
"You may have heard me, but it doesn't look like you listened."
"It's just, I just don't understand what you have against Gabi."
"Let's just say things became a bit more clear to me, have you ever experienced that Will? A moment of clarity?"
"Yeah, but.."
"So then I said I don't think you should trust her. She'll creep her way in and before you know it…"
"What?" Will asked sternly.
"You'd be better off if you were rid of her." Sonny states with no emotion, moving from the counter to a nearby table.
"Did you just order me to stay away from Gabi?"
"If you want to see it that way."
Dumbfounded, Will remains motionless. "You can't be serious" he utters with a failed attempt at dominance.
Sonny glances up giving Will his signature half smile. He takes a few steps closer to Will and glides his hand over Will's face.
"Sometimes you need to realize when a friend doesn't deserve your loyalty." "You're too loyal Will." Sonny says looking intently into Will's eyes as he pinches Will's cheek.
"No!" Will mumbles as he swats Sonny's hand away. Sonny swiftly returns his hand to Will's face with strength that resembles a light slap.
"She gave up on you when you were struggling, don't you remember that? Do you really care for her that much? Does she mean more to you than I do? Hah." Sonny takes a step back, "Is this a pathetic little attempt at running back in the closet Will?"
"What are you even talking about?! This has nothing to do with us-
"No, Will. I think it has everything to do with us. Is that what you want to do, saunter all the way back to your girlfriend. Precious, precious Gabi."
"I don't understand why you're being like this Sonny." Will shakes his head and falls to a nearby chair. Face sliding into his hands, he tries to hide the tears that are forming.
Sonny walks behind Will and places his hands on his shoulders giving Will a rough massage.
"Look at me." But Will keeps his face covered.
"Will!" exclaims Sonny with a foreign fierceness.
Will's shaken frame lifts from the chair as he turns and faces Sonny. His liquid filled eyes meet Sonny's stones.
"I'm just doing this to protect you, Will." says Sonny in a tone that is only semi sincere.
"But…"
"No buts" Sonny whispers as he grips Will's neck to pull him in for a kiss, one which causes Will to retract.
Sonny tilts his head to the side with a questioning look on his face, he pulls at Will's neck again garnering the same reaction. All in one, Sonny releases his grip and spots Neil, the resident player, sitting on one of the stools. Sonny smirks back at Will. "You don't think I couldn't get anyone else here, Will? You don't think that if I wanted to, I could have Neil falling all over me?"
"And I told my dad you weren't a user." Will spoke blankly.
"And I'm not" Sonny snapped. "I chose you Will. I waited for you, Will. I denied every guy so that when you were ready, I could be ready for you."
He walked closer to Will and placed his hand on Will's neck once again. "Now what are you going to do?"
Will grabbed the back of Sonny's head, pulling his hair, bringing their faces together. Sonny smiled as he tasted the saltiness of Will's lips, moist from the tears. In the heat of the moment, passion and anger lead Will to bite Sonny's bottom lip as he pulled away, tearing a bit of skin. Sonny touched his lip with his fingers, wiping away a small line of blood. Licking it away as he eyed Will.
"I'm sure you haven't forgotten the pain you've put a couple people in this past year." Sonny said still maintaining his smile.
"Your mom, EJ..the list goes on..and on" he laughed.
"You wouldn't want to cause anymore." said Sonny, rubbing his stained finger across Will's lips.
"I'll see you back at my place?" asked Sonny innocently.
A dejected Will mouthed "Yeah" as he left the coffee house, fingers frozen and head aching.
