I had this idea in my head and it wouldn't leave it so here it is.
This is my first fanfic ever and English is not my maternal language so I hope it will be okay and you'll like it.
(Oh and in this story, Will and Sonny have the same age)
SONNY POV
20 years ago I was happy, I had everything. My business was doing very good, I got along with my whole family almost perfectly, my friends were awesome and I had the best boyfriend a boy could ask for. Will and I were the definition of the happy couple. But everything changed on Gaby's wedding day when these words resounded from Will's mouth "Nick is not the baby's father, I am". That day my heart broke completely: my boyfriend was going to be a father and he never told me. Sure Will didn't cheat on me but he lied to me by not telling me anything for 5 months. I remember leaving the church with the envy to punch pretty much everything on my way. After this disaster, I haven't talked to Will nor seen him for 2 weeks until the day he came at Common grounds begging me to forgive him. But I pushed him away. Since then I just heard news about him from Abigail or Chad. Someday I learnt that he won full custody of his daughter thanks to Chad and his knowledge of Gabi's involvement in Melanie's kidnapping. Gaby was sent in jail along with Nick who was accused of complicity. But unfortunately Chad was also sent to prison for breaking the contract he made with them. Will was now alone in his daughter's life and I never saw him after that. When I asked Sami where he was, she told me that he left town with his daughter and he wasn't coming back. My heart was shattered this day because of me pushing him away; he left without telling me goodbye. I've never heard about him again until now…
20 years later…
Saturday afternoon was always synonym of rush at the coffeehouse. 15 years ago, when Chad came back, the two friends changed some things in the organization. Common Ground was no longer just a coffeehouse but it was also an event room. People can now rent CG for wedding receptions; anniversaries…They even changed the name to "The Proud" and renovated the inside and the outside. Now they were juggling between customers, coffees and calls for renting. But today was pretty calm compared to others Saturdays. Usually 5 barista were needed plus Chad and Sonny. Today Chad wasn't there and two barista were at the counter so Sonny took the occasion to call his hubby Mason.
Mason: Hi honey! How is work today?
Sonny: Strangely, it's calm. I have only 4 people in here and no calls.
Mason: Oh that's why you're calling me…
Sonny: Hey, shut up!
Mason: I'm kidding. But you have to admit that in the 10 years we were married, I can count on my two hands the times you called me on a Saturday at 4pm.
Sonny: Okay I admit it's true. It's just… I missed your voice, no, I miss you!
Mason: I miss you too. I'm coming back next Friday. I'll make it up to you!
Sonny: Is that a promise?
Mason: It definitely is. I have to go, my next meeting is in 5 minutes and I have to get everything ready. I love you Son!
Sonny: I love you too, bye!
As Sonny got back to work, he began to think about his life 11 years ago before he met Mason. At the time he was trying to get over his break up with Will. Right after Will left, Sonny began to collect the one night stands, never committing to any relationship. Nobody could recognize him anymore; he became irritable and rude to everybody. The young nice boy was becoming quite a jerk in the romantic area. He constantly gave lame excuses to why he didn't want to see the guy again. And for the majority of his family and friends Will Horton was to blame. But everything changed for the better when he met Mason…
11 years ago
Sonny: Don't forget your belt next to the bed before you leave!
Mason: You want me to leave like this?
Sonny: Yeah of course! What were you expecting? A romantic wake up with a breakfast in bed with little roses? Not going to happen with me…
Mason: But…
Sonny: No buts! Now please leave!
Mason: Oooh I see! You're the kind of man who, let me guess, suffered from a very bad break up and who is now taking his anger on the men he finds himself sleeping with. I'm sure I'm not far from the truth
Sonny (with sarcasm): Yeah! You're the best, you looked right through me. Happy? Now get the hell out of here…
Mason: Obviously the man who broke your heart made a very good job! If you want, you can talk to me! I know we don't know each other but if you want I can help you…
Sonny: WHY? Why do you care? It's not like I was nice to you so why do you want to help me?
Mason: I really don't know but I want to help you. Please say you accept to see me tomorrow at noon, please please!
Sonny: hum… okay. Oh and I'm sorry.
Mason: It's okay. I will leave you and I'll see you tomorrow in the town square? Oh and by the way, this night was great!
Sonny (blushing): Yeah it was… Wait!
Before Mason got the time to close the door, Sonny was already beside him. He cupped Mason's face between his hands and their lips met in a sweet and tender kiss
Sonny: Thank you Mason.
Mason (smiling): See you tomorrow…
Mason put a quick little peck on Sonny's lips and left him standing in the doorway giggling, little butterflies in his stomach.
So Sonny and Mason met the next day. They talked a lot about Mason's life, Sonny not wanting to talk about him. It took time to Sonny to trust and open up to Mason but he finally did on their 8th date. He told him everything about his story with Will, how his first love hurt him by constantly lying and how he left without giving any news even to his own family. Nobody in town knew what his daughter's name was, where they lived, how they were and everybody was worried. He thought about how his life drastically changed with Mason. He became his old self, the smiling and nice young man that everybody loved. Mason was automatically praised by all the Kiriakis who couldn't be more grateful.
His thoughts were interrupted by Lauren, his barista, who told him that a young woman wanted to talk to the manager. Sonny took his apron off and walked to the woman in question. She was a young dark-haired beauty with sparkling blue eyes.
Sonny: Hello, can I help you?
The woman: Yes. Is the place free for a wedding reception in 1 month?
Sonny: Let me check the schedule… hum hum …Yes in 1 month, the place is free!
The woman (smiling): Great! So I would like to rent it!
Sonny: Of course! What name can I write on the paper?
The woman: Arianna Grace Jonas
