a/n:This one is pretty long; I went a little crazy but I was just having too much fun to stop so I didn't. I also don't know where Salem is, I know it's fictional but I just said Illinois…hope that's okay.

Warning: Fluff, lots of sweetness and very brief, pretty much nonexistence sexy times to follow, the smuttiness is in the next part. It's a WEDDING FIC!

I hope you all enjoy it; I actually ended up really liking this one — let me know if you liked it too.


Of Shooting Stars and Wedding Bells

Sonny tips his head back. Admiring the darkening sky above him, soon the stars will be coming out, perfect.

The meadow didn't need much preparation tonight, not for this occasion given the fact that the wild flowers were in full bloom thanks to the change in season. The branches and vines of the willow trees that scattered the edges of the clearing swayed softly in the warm early summer breeze, the sun was just barely peeking over the tops of the distant trees and the sky had a pastel painted look to it, every color melding perfectly, flawlessly into the other until it turned to the deep blue that would soon take over the whole sky.

Sonny took a deep breath twirling a single rose between his fingertips to keep his hands busy so they didn't shake like they were threatening to. He could feel the heaviness of a single metal band in the pocket of his light blue button down shirt, another deep breath.

Tonight was the night.

Tonight he was going to ask Will to marry him.

Tonight could potentially the first night of the rest of their lives, all he had to do was propose, and Will had to say yes of course but he was trying not to think about that. He'd say yes, he couldn't let himself think otherwise.

He's brought back to the night they spent in this very spot together for Will's birthday. That night had been everything, pure and utter perfection. Essentially it had gotten the ball rolling for the events of this night.

Get Will Horton to spend the rest of his life with me. Make the love of my life Will Horton, Mr. William Kiriakis. Marry the man of my dreams. Spend forever with the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Sonny got a little greedy when they were wishing on that shooting star, but he couldn't help it. He couldn't find the right words. He didn't know how to phrase it perfectly; he didn't even know where to begin. So he wished for it, the only thing he wanted in as many ways as he could think to say it and prayed, and prayed, and prayed that his wish came true.

Will's outline emerges from the trees, making his way across the field to Sonny with a shy smile on his face.

Finger's crossed, Sonny thinks, this is it, this right here could be all my wishes, all I've ever wanted coming true.

"Hey you," Sonny smiles as he hands Will the rose. The signature blush tints Will's cheeks as he takes to proffered flower, gazing at Sonny through his blonde eyelashes, smile tugging at his pink lips. "Hi," Will sighs as he leans in towards Sonny who closes the barely there distance between them. Will drapes his arms loosely around Sonny's shoulder as he presses himself against Sonny's solid form. Will's tongue grazes against Sonny's bottom lip, hoping for more, which dear God does Sonny want to give but not yet, there will be plenty of time for that later.

His hands settle gently on Will's hips holding him close even as he pulls away. Will's whine makes Sonny chuckle and all he wants to do in seal his lips back over Will's and never come up for air but again, later.

Sonny presses a warm kiss to Will's cheek to placate him, lingering and repeating the motion until Will's pout turn into an easy smile and his whines are replaced with soft, breathy giggles.

"So, what's the occasion," Will wonders after a few moments. The field had become something extremely special to them over the last few months. An escape, a haven, a private paradise that only they knew about where they could go to be free of the rest of the world even if only for a little while, a world away from the lives that weigh them down, free of the stress of their jobs and bickering family members. A place they can be together just by themselves, alone, where they don't have to worry about increasing the coffee shops' revenue or creating a new interactive feature for the Countess W webpage — where the only thing that mattered was each other, the occasional animal, and the babbling brook that could be heard if they were really quiet. They could just be, just exist, they could talk or just sit with their fingers intertwined, enjoying each others company and for a little while the world would fall away, cease to exist beyond Will and Sonny and their little woodland utopia.

This little slice of heaven that Sonny had found and shared with Will had become something like a hiding place for them, whenever they needed to be alone, whenever they disappeared this is where they'd find themselves and no one ever had a clue. Many times over the course of the last few months Sonny would receive a text in the middle of the day saying, meet me in 10? Which naturally he would jump at, finding himself in their meadow in 9 minutes 30 seconds flat with a beautiful boyfriend lounging in the grass with a bag of take-out from the Pub, a few lingering kisses and maybe a quick nap if they were lucky.

"I need an occasion to spend time with my gorgeous boyfriend?" Sonny asks in disbelief. Will unravels himself from around Sonny, waving the rose in Sonny's face with a raised eyebrow, as if to say, the rose babe?! Duh…what's up?

"Okay, you got me," Sonny says with a cheeky smile. He clears his throat as he takes Will's hands in his. "You remember when I brought you here the first time?" He couldn't wait any longer, he was too excited.

Will's face breaks out into a dazzling smile that all but knocks Sonny flat on his ass. "Yes and you gave me a star," a look of reminiscence takes over Will's clear blue eyes as he's transported back to that wonderful early spring night when Sonny's basically gave him the world and Will realized that he never wanted to let Sonny go.

"And we wished upon that shooting star?"

"Yes," Will breathes mouth twitching as he remembers his wish, eyebrows arching again as he wonders where exactly this is going.

"Well, I'm about to ask for my wish." Sonny tells Will, his brown eyes shining with all the love in the world. "And I'm hoping, no I'm praying you make it come true."

Now Will is well and truly confused. If he could make Sonny's wish come true, of course he'd do it, he'd do anything for Sonny. His smile broadens as he nods at Sonny to continue. Will tilts his head as Sonny takes a deep breath, his own breath stuttering when he hears Sonny's exhale shake on its way back out past his lips.

Sonny clears his throat, collects himself, and starts the conversation that could make or break him.

"Will," here goes nothing, "I love you," Will's smile widens even more, if possible, "I love you so much," Sonny chuckles at the small squeak that passes Will's lips at his words. So precious.

"For so long you've been everything to me, you've been my world, you are my world. The feelings you give me, the feelings I get when I'm with you are so extraordinary and I don't ever want them to go away. I don't ever want this to end. I want to make you the happiest person alive; I want you to wake up every morning knowing that you are so, so loved. More than that though I want to start every day knowing that you're mine, I want your smile to be the last thing I see before I close my eyes, I want that, I want all of you, every day for the rest of my life, and Will, baby if you want that too, you got me…and I…I, uh." He clears his throat one more time when he struggles to get the words out, deep breath, "will you marry me?"

Tears have welled in Will's eyes, his heart is pounding painfully against his ribs, he nods his head erratically because God yes that's all he wants. Sonny bites his lips as Will nods excitedly, smiling at the look of loving shock in Will's watery eyes, and another deep breath. "Okay I just have to, I need to do this right, hang on."

He takes a step back and slides gracefully down to one knee. Will is crying freely now, tears of joy sliding silently down his flushed cheeks, one hand falls away from Sonny's as the older man reaches into the pocket of his shirt.

A platinum band with a thin row of black onyx, hardly even noticeable, wraps around the center of the ring, engraved on the inside with, you make my dreams come true, sits between Sonny's forefinger and thumb. Will's free hand comes to clasp over his mouth, staring in awe at the ring that is so perfectly him, so perfectly Sonny — so them.

"William Robert Horton, will you marry me?"

"Yes," he squeaks, nods his head several times, clears his throat and says it again. "Yes, Sonny, oh my God yes, yes of course I'll marry you!"

Sonny stands up fluidly, sliding the ring on Will's finger effortlessly, kissing it quickly, then the back of Will's hand before wrapping his arms around Will's waist and kisses him deeply. Yesyesyesyesyesyes, Will breathes repeatedly against Sonny's smiling lips.

The first visible star peeks out against the still darkening sky, twinkling so brightly down at the two men kissing passionately in that little field below that it almost seems to be bouncing, cheering and beaming at them from above. Shining as if saying, another successful wish, hook, line and sinker.

Sonny picks Will up and twirls him around, lips still locked together — and just like that two more wishes have come true.


Sonny's arms wrap tightly around Will's sweaty back, his lips linger over damp blonde hair, slightly sticky skin. He smiles at the thought that that was the first time they'd made love as an engaged couple. First time having sex with his fiancéGod that feels good. He chuckles against Will's forehead, causing the younger man to stir against him.

Pleased blue eyes meet his and a fire sparks inside him, brighter than it ever has before because thank you, thank you, thank you, this man is mine. "What," Will breathes as he props himself up on his arms against Sonny's chest.

Sonny nudges his nose against Will's, who tilts his head and stretches his neck to let Sonny capture his lips his in a warm kiss. They both let out dreamy, breathy sighs when they break apart. "We're engaged," Sonny smiles widely, he would never tire of this feeling.

Will hums in agreement, acknowledgment, confirmation, pleasure, his eyes drift shut as he leans back up kissing Sonny deeply, slipping his tongue quickly inside. Sonny flops back against the pillows as Will crawls further up his body and settles on top of him. "You're my fiancé," Will whispers into Sonny's mouth, giggling softly at the feel of those words.

Sonny chuckles, nodding his head, "and you're my fiancé."

"We're getting married."

"We're going to be husbands."

"Spend the rest our lives together."

"God that sounds so good."

"I love you."

"I love you."

And thus began a long night of lots of love, lots of sex, lots of passion and very, very little sleep.


"So do you know what this is about?" Marlena asks over the top of her cup of tea, Sami shakes her head as she leans into to EJ who also shakes his head. Adrienne and Justin share a curious look before agreeing with others, Sonny had been mum with them when he'd called them and asked them to meet him at the Pub. Kate looks equally as confused but that could easily just be annoyance over the fact that she's been stuck at a table with Sami for more than 10 minutes which is far longer than she'd prefer.

"Will just said, be at the Pub at noon, I have to tell you something." Lucas says as he shifts to get comfortable in his seat. They all turn when the door opens, only slightly disappointed when Abby and Chad walk in and over to them.

The men shake hands while the women exchange pleasantries before settling back down. "So did you get the same cryptic text we did," Chad asks EJ, who smirks and nods his head. "It was most definitely cryptic but I think I may have an idea as to what this is all about."

All heads snap towards EJ with the intent of grilling him for more but their attempts are cut short as the couple in question enter the Pub, fingers laced together, small smiles on both their faces and the unmistakable look of love in their eyes.

Will denies his mother's hug which nearly makes her flinch but he smiles sweetly enough at her to pacify her for the time being. He turns his gaze to Sonny who smiles softly at him, nods his head and squeezes his hand, urging him forward. Will worries his bottom lip between his teeth before taking a deep steadying breath. EJ's eyes connect briefly with Sonny's and he can't help but smile widely as a silent conversation passes between them leave it to EJ DiMera to figure out our secret before our blood relatives did.

Do they know?

They don't have a clue.

Good.

Congratulations Jackson, Will's a lucky man.

Thanks but I'm the lucky one.

I trust you know that if you screw up, or hurt him you'll have to deal with me personally; your Kiriakis blood won't mollify me in the slightest.

I won't, ever, I'd rather die than hurt him. You can hold me to that.

Sonny's sees what he thinks is the most real smile he's ever seen EJ give anyone and he can't help but smile back. EJ sends him a wink before they both turn their attention back to Will. Sonny realizes that he's missed both of their families begging Will to just get on with it and tell them why the hell they're here.

Will hushes them for what appears to be the 3rd or 4th time judging by the exasperated look he's sending Sami. He sighs heavily shaking his head, Sonny chuckles, lays a soft kiss on Will's cheek and squeezes his hand again. Their eyes meet when Will turns toward him; Sonny tilts his head towards their antsy family and friends.

"Sonny and I are, uh well we're engaged," Will squeaks without tearing his eyes away from Sonny's, "we're getting married." Both their smiles practically split their faces as they look at each other, completely unaware of the commotion happening in front of them. Will's face reddens as Sonny kisses his temple gently.

It's an explosion of hugs, kisses, congratulations and a few tears from a pair of emotional mothers. Details about the proposal are begged for and thoughts about their impending nuptials are bounced around and the whole time the love birds only have eyes for each other, trying to give everyone the information their looking for all the while struggling to look away from the other. If anyone notices they don't say anything, they're engaged after all so being dopey, dreamy and completely in love is just something they're entitled to.


"You're getting married," Allie squeals, bouncing around as Will shares the news, Johnny jumps up and starts bouncing with her. Allie skips back over to her big brother and throws her arms around his neck, squealing and giggling the whole time, because Will's getting married and that means a wedding which means pretty dresses, flowers and cake!

"To Sonny," Johnny turns wide brown eyes on Will, smiling widely when Will nods happily. "I love Sonny," Johnny and Allie sigh almost in unison. Will chuckles at this, "me too."

"Can I be the flower girl," Sydney asks excitedly, blonde curls going wild around her small face. Will smiles at his three siblings and how absolutely adorable they are. He's glad they're excited, little kids are normally easily excited but it meant the world to him that they were happy about this, happy for him. They were older now, 6 and 8 and full of energy but also understanding, so he's glad they're old enough to get what's happening and remember it in a few years' time. He knew they would be happy for him, they all adore Sonny, ask about him all the time, beg to have lunch at the coffeehouse so Sonny will make them sandwiches with the crusts cut off and let them make hot chocolate with him for dessert.

"Yes, I would love it if you and Allie would be the flower girls at my wedding."

Allie breaks out into another round of squeals, while Sydney hugs him tightly then starts twirling around Sami's apartment.

"Ooh, ooh can I be the one who carries the rings?" Johnny begs fingers clasped together in front of his chest.

"Well, yes you'll still get to hold the rings but I was actually hoping you'd be my best man…" Will trails off gauging his little brother's expression watching as his eyes widen further and his whole face lights up into a giddy grin, "really?"

Will nods his head, blue eyes twinkling. "Do I get to wear a suit," Johnny wonders eagerly.

"Hell yeah you do," Will says as he pokes playfully at Johnny's stomach he giggles wildly. They all get a little silly after that because Will just swore.

Don't tell mom he whispers and they all snicker because they love having secrets from mom, and the best thing when you're a kid is being able to conspire with your big brother, be in on something that nobody else knows about. He tells them he loves them all so much. Three happy faces chorus it back to him, and Will's sure he's got the best little brother and sisters in the whole world.

They all tackle him in a bear hug which turns into a pig pile of big brother Will. Happy laughter and delighted squeals fill the apartment and all Will can think is that he's overjoyed that his siblings seem totally floored about the fact that he's marrying Sonny, actually they seem a little more excited than he is, but that's probably pushing it.


"I have a meeting with a supplier after work tonight so I might be a little late." Sonny says to Will as the blonde man lathers shampoo into Sonny's hair. He leans back into the touch, pressing further into Will's massaging fingers who smiles behind him before kissing up and down the side of Sonny's neck.

"Okay," he whispers against a wet shoulder blade, "I was going to meet my grandma Kate for dinner anyways, she's obsessed with the wedding, it's like if she doesn't get details every other day she'll explode."

"What details? We've barely started!" Sonny snickers as he turns around, tipping his head back to rinse the soap from his hair. "That's what you think," Will smiles as Sonny arches an eyebrow at him, "she's all over it, you'd think it was her wedding."

Sonny freezes, having a mini internal freak-out knowing it's probably written all over his face. "Don't worry babe, I can handle her, she's just excited." Will reassures him, successfully quelling his worries

He takes a deep breath, knowing that if Will told her no, she'd back off. Kate may be a pain at times but she loves Will more than anything and there isn't a damn thing she wouldn't do for him.

"You don't think I'm excited," Sonny wonders playfully as he tugs Will against himself, slotting their hips together, cocks sliding against each other wet and wonderful and soapy. Will groans as his eyes lock with Sonny's which are positively on fire. "No, I know you're excited," he winks slyly as his sinfully innocent wide blue eyes flick down to their erections then back up to Sonny who is smirking wickedly at him.

"Turn around, I'll wash your back," the older man whispers against Will's parted lips. Will makes a point of rubbing the length of his body obscenely against Sonny as he turns and braces himself against the tile wall. "Wash my back, that all you gonna do while you're back there," Will's cheeky smile widens when Sonny's soapy hands slide down his back and over his ass, perfect teeth dig into his slick shoulder.

Sonny doesn't answer but relishes in the shameless moan that leaves Will's mouth as his soap slicked length slides completely inside him.

Will gets a knowing look from the Countess W receptionist, who's been informed of his engagement and then another one from his mother when he waltzes into work an hour and half late. He shrugs his shoulders and proceeds to go about his work; needless to say he couldn't wipe the triumphant smirk of his face for the rest of the day.

That evening instead of meeting with suppliers like he had told Will he was doing, Sonny headed to the clearing in the woods that he and Will had fallen in love with. When he got there a little after 6, the workers were already there with their tablets and notepads, measuring tapes and blue prints.

Everything was on schedule, now began construction. He'd been working with a team of contractors to create a wedding present for Will in their little meadow in the woods.

A house.

A cottage.

A love shack.

Sonny wasn't sure what exactly he wanted to call it yet but he knew it was going to be perfect. A house in the middle of their woodland paradise, how could Will not love that? He'd tapped into his trust fund to pay for the project. Money well spent if you asked him considering it was going towards his future. A decent investment considering that this house would potentially be the only house he'd live in for the rest of his life, the only house they'd live in.

Their designs are perfect, exactly what he'd envisioned. Exactly what he imagined Will loving. He'd learned from Will's younger siblings that Will loves puzzles. And some of his favorite puzzles come from the Thomas Kinkade collection. Well if Will loved Thomas Kinkades' art and the quaint woodland homes he created why not recreate it for him in their own humble abode. So that's exactly what he's doing.

Once the house itself is complete he can begin decorating which would require him to tap into his stealthy side. He'd need to subtly pick Will's brain beyond what he already knew so he could properly create Will's dream home without him suspecting what he was up to.

"Thanks guys, these are great, perfect, he's going to love it." Sonny tells the team of contractors he's hired, shaking their hands gratefully after he'd looked over and approved of their designs.

"Great we'll be in touch, construction should begin mid-week, next week."

"Fantastic, thank you so much,"

"Our pleasure Mr. Kiriakis, feel free to call with any concerns and you're more than welcome to drop by once construction's started to come check out the job."

Sonny nodded and thanked them all again, waving to them as they disappeared through the trees. He turned around and eyed the corner of the meadow where his and Will's home would soon be. Hands in his pockets he smiles to himself as he walks back towards town — now he just had to keep it a secret. And keep Will away from the clearing until after the wedding. Oh boy.


"What do you think of this one?" Will asks one evening a couple weeks later as they lay in bed. He pushes a swatch of cloth at Sonny, a light gray color. "For what," Sonny inquires as he looks down at the fabric in his hands. Will's grandma Kate, wedding planner extraordinaire, had given them a whole bunch of wedding books, magazines and samples earlier in the week and now it was like a bridal party threw up in their apartment.

Will swats him across the chest with another book of fabric samples, the blonde shoots him a look like, what do you think you dope? "Our suits, duh."

"I thought we were doing black, as in tuxedos, bow ties, cummerbunds, the whole nine yards."

"You want to do tuxes?"

Sonny turns his head to look at Will straight on, meeting slightly shocked blue eyes. "I thought you wanted to do tuxes." Will shrugs, shifting his gaze back down to the book in front of him.

"I do, I just didn't think you did, you didn't seem too thrilled when I mentioned it the other day," he murmurs.

"Will, baby, look at me," Sonny waits until Will's eyes meet his, "I want you to be happy, you want tuxes we'll wear tuxes, you want ice sculptures, we'll get the biggest damn ice sculptures anyone's ever seen. You want a 12 tiered cake with a thousand sugar flowers, you got it. 18 karat gold, diamond encrusted cuff links? Done— if you want it, it's yours."

"It's your day too Sonny, I want you to like it." Will's face shifts into an expression that's slightly guilty and completely flushed and flustered. Sonny smiles softly at this, he takes Will's chin in his hand, tilts the blonde's head up to meet him.

"I will like whatever you like because if you're happy, I'm happy. I'll give you the world Will, just say the word."

Will looks down again, but Sonny doesn't miss the tears shining in his eyes. "Okay," he whispers, conceding but not sounding totally okay with it, they'll deal with that in the morning though. It's been a long week Sonny thinks, and they could both use a good night's sleep.

"Okay," he parrots, tossing the piles of wedding business on the floor effectively getting Will's attention. He shifts around on the bed, crawling over to Will whose eying him suspiciously, with a knowing smile on his face. "What are you doing," Will smirks as Sonny wriggles his way up Will's body.

"I've had enough wedding stuff for one night…you?"

Will swallows hard as he watches Sonny lick his lips slowly. He mimics Sonny's actions, sliding back on the bed so his back is against the headboard, nodding almost imperceptibly.

"Good," Sonny practically purrs as he pounces completely on him, taking him down sideways on the mattress. Will's laughter is soon drowned out by breathless moans and soft whimpers as Sonny gives Will a little wedding night preview.


"I was thinking navy blue, deep blues and white," Will admits over lunch with his mom, Grandma Kate and Abigail.

Abigail makes a mental note of this fact, filing it away to tell Sonny later, having been given the job of picking Will's brain for information about what he'd like as far as interior design in the home he doesn't know he was getting. Sonny had enlisted her help because being one of the people helping plan the wedding she'd be spending time with Will when there was a lot of wedding talk going on, stuff that Sonny wasn't always in on. He needed more ears and more help and Abigail was perfect for the job, having vested interests in both of them due to the fact that she's cousin to both of them she wants to help Sonny make Will's dreams come true. He won her over with the sheer romance of the concept of building Will a house; bless Abigail and her romantic feminine instincts.

All in all, Abigail thinks, this lunch has been a gold mine of information that could help Sonny spruce up their house to Will's liking.

Will likes blues and grays, neutrals and pastels. He doesn't like floral patterns and isn't a huge fan of stripes. He likes classic details and isn't big on the whole modern theme which meant the strange metallic vases Kate was thinking for the centerpieces were O.U.T, out.

"Sonny and I were thinking like a starry night kind of thing, with deep blue and twinkling lights and white flowers and…that kind of thing."

"I really like that idea Will," Abigail agreed, filing yet another piece of information away to pass on to an eager fiancé. Will smiles brightly at her, silently thanking her for taking his side, tired of being up against his grandmother and his mom on his own. Alone each women was force but together Will was worried he wouldn't make it through this lunch in one piece, but he thanked god he had Abigail, she was on his side and she was also really good at keeping him sane, calm, and making sure he got what he wanted and not what Sami, or Kate thought he wanted.

"May I ask why you changed your mind from the just black and white with gold accents like we'd talked about," Kate wonders trying her best to sound encouraging without pushing, even though she really wanted to.

"Well I love stars, and Sonny said...well he said some things." Will clears his throat, looking rather sheepish as his cheeks flood with color no doubt because of those things Sonny said. Abigail just manages to stifle the giggle that was threatening to bubble up at how Will was acting. "And the stars and stargazing are kind of our thing, so it kind of just seemed right." Abigail smiles at her cousin as her heart flutters while Will's cheeks flush a shade darker at the mention of Sonny. Will probably isn't aware he does it but he gets all shy when he talks about his other half, he gets this small smile on his face and his eyes shine, it's so sweet, like he doesn't want other people to know about it because he doesn't want to share what he and Sonny have but he simply can't help himself because he wants to talk about the other all the time.

"So starry night, dark blues, white and sparkling crystals," Abigail says brightly, smile soft but challenging as she dares the older women to question what Will wants again. Neither answers, just nod their heads and smile at Will. "Good," she confirms and they all go back to their lunch and idle chit chat. Abigail's glad that even though years of animosity exist between Sami and Kate they always manage to come together and get along when Will's involved because even though they'd hate to admit it, they do in fact have something in common…their love for Will. They'd both do absolutely anything for that blue eyed sweetheart, they can hate each other all they want, but how much they adore Will will never, ever change.

"Hey how'd lunch go," Sonny asks cautiously that afternoon when Will walks into the coffeehouse for a quick caffeine break. Will lands a quick kiss on Sonny's smiling lips over the counter before plopping himself down in one of the stools and burying his head in his arms.

Sonny chuckles when all Will does in response is groan tiredly. He walks around the counter to stand behind his drained fiancé. His hands move up to gently massage Will's shoulders, another groan leaves Will's mouth, this one sounding more content then anything. Kisses are left against the swirl in Will's hair as the tension visibly melts from Will's shoulders under Sonny's attentive hands.

"That bad," Sonny wonders softly, he inwardly kicks himself, knowing he shouldn't have let Will go to that lunch alone, especially when both Sami and Kate were involved. "Nff bdd. Ebbe's nn nglll."

Sonny arches an eyebrow having no clue what Will just said. "What was that pumpkin," he questions on a laugh. Will turns his head so the side of his face is resting on his arms.

"Not bad. Abby's an angel," That response earns Will another chuckle from the older man, who kisses the upturned side of Will's face tenderly. "Yes she is," Sonny smiles to himself at the thought of the text Abigail sent him not too long ago about all the dirt she got from lunch today.

"It's just exhausting or more accurately they're exhausting." Will sighs as Sonny's hands continue to work away the knots in his shoulders, knowing perfectly well that Sonny knows who he's talking about, his mother and grandma, who else?

"How about a nice hot coffee on the house," Sonny whispers in Will's ear as he wraps himself around Will, hugging him from behind, smiling when Will melts back into him.

"On the house, hmm," Will wonders playfully, "nice."

"Yeah, I know the owner," teases Sonny.

Will smirks, blue eyes shining delightedly as he turns around on his stool to face the older man, "I'm marrying the owner."

"Lucky you," the older man quips with a smirk of his own.

"Mmm, lucky me," Will's eyes soften as he agrees with Sonny, whose heart stutters at how freely and easily Will agreed. Definitely just fell a little more in love.

Sonny kisses the other softly, tracing his cheek bones with the pads of his thumbs. Will sags a little further into him and Sonny's pretty sure that the younger man would liquefy and drip into a puddle on the floor if he wasn't there holding him up. Sonny makes sure he's propped up against the counter before he goes to get them coffee. Will's head tips back, eyes following Sonny's movements before it hurts his head to look behind him that way so he just let's his eyes slip shut. He's really enjoying the quiet of the nearly empty coffeehouse and the gentle rustle of Sonny moving behind him while he fixes him a hot cup of liquid energy, which is the only thing he'll run on until he gets home and Sonny feeds him something good and warm and hopefully greasy because he could really, really use it.

Will had figured that planning a wedding would be stressful, he's just glad that the stress relief that comes with it is so nice because if today is any indicator, he'll be needing much, much more of it.


Will bounces into the apartment a little after 7 in the evening mid-way through August with a goofy smile on his face and a white box in his hands. Sonny eyes him curiously as he plops himself down on the couch next to him. Will doesn't say anything so Sonny turns his attention back to his tablet where he was going over some business for the coffeehouse. Will huffs at him but Sonny doesn't look up, at least not until the tablet is wrenched from his hands and placed on the coffee table, effectively gaining Sonny's attention.

Will grins softly, placing the box in Sonny's hands, nodding his head towards it as a go ahead to open it. He undoes the red strings around the box and flips up the top staring at several samples of…what is that…cake?

Will's grin lights up his eyes in a way that makes Sonny's stomach flip. "Want to pick our wedding cake?"

"Sure, uh where'd you get these?"

"Well, my mom found this great bakery right outside of Salem that does lots of wedding cakes, she called them up and they sent her some samples," Will points at the contents of the box. "We can either decide on one of these or we can mix and match, it's basically whatever we want…" Will trails off eyes trained on Sonny's.

Sonny shakes his head fondly at Will's excitement. "Okay, let's pick out wedding cake."

Will's cheers softly and nuzzles his head into Sonny's neck, kissing up his throat, over his chin before reaching his mouth, humming once their lips are connected. "It's so real, picking a wedding cake," Will squeals. "I'm so excited." The younger man is practically vibrating in his eagerness, elation rolling off of him in waves as he squirms against Sonny's side.

Sonny eyes the little pieces of cake in the box, noticing a common element in many of them. "There's a lot of chocolate in there," Sonny smirks.

"I love chocolate," Will sighs dreamily, chin propped on Sonny's shoulder as he blinks up at Sonny. "I know you do."

"Oh god t-that's good, that, that one…that's the one." Will hums as he collapses back on the bed, Sonny laughs breathlessly as he rolls back over so he's hovering over Will's glistening form. Will's chest is slick with saliva and a little bit of sweat from where Sonny had been licking cake and frosting off of him.

"I don't know baby, I'm still a fan of this one," Sonny purrs as he smears a clump of red velvet cake down the center of Will's chest, white chocolate frosting and deep red cake painting Will's pale skin. Will begins to pant again as Sonny tongues off the cake, slowly torturing around his nipples, rolling them between his teeth gently, pulling back to coat them with more icing before going back in for more.

Will manages to free himself from Sonny's ministrations long enough to flip the older onto his back and straddle him quickly. "I liked the chocolate," Will whispers against Sonny's tan skin as he nips playfully at his jaw.

"Which one, there were about 7 chocolate ones," Sonny laughs as Will licks behind his ear, sinking his teeth into the skin there at Sonny's taunting tone. "That one," Will points to the other side of the mattress without picking his head up to where one bite of chocolate cake with chocolate frosting lay on its little plate

"I liked that one too," Sonny breathes. Will picks his head up staring at Sonny with a skeptical look in his eyes. Sonny smirks, "what, I did."

"You liked that one because it led to sex," Will teases, eyebrows arched challengingly, pulling further away with a sly grin when Sonny arches up to connect their lips. The older man huffs as he flops back against the pillows, rolling his eyes in mock exasperation.

"I'm a simple man," Sonny says huskily with a shrug of his shoulders, fist pumping inwardly when his devilish wink draws Will closer, eager to wipe that smug smile off Will's face.

Will kisses him swiftly; tongue just barely grazing Sonny's lips before he pulls away. Will's look of smugness increases marginally, "who would've thought that being engaged would turn you into a sex addict."

Sonny laughs loudly at this, body twisting as his eyes light up with mirth. He rolls them quickly, causing Will to giggle along with him. He'd be the first to admit that he had become slightly more addicted to sex these last few months, but seriously who could blame him…have you seen the man he's marrying. That giddy feeling just hasn't gone away, he's in this weird honeymoon phase and they haven't even gotten married yet, but he thinks that maybe it's just the concept, and the idea that in a few more short months they will be. He can't help that every time he sees Will, as of late the second or third thought that passes through his mind is, I need to get him to bed NOW!

"That may be true," Sonny shakes his gently against the snickers that were threatening to bubble up past his lips, "but I've always been addicted to you."

Will's laughter stutters before his eyes darken and he's launching up, needy fingers pawing at Sonny's naked back, tugging him closer to eliminate the distance between them.

They'd settled on a chocolate fudge cake with a chocolate butter cream filling, to meet Will's unhealthy obsession with all things chocolate, covered in a layer a dark blue fondant to look like the night sky and white sugar crystals to look like the stars, perfectly meeting their starry night theme.


"I'm going to pick up my tux today then my aunt Maggie is going to help with the final…well I don't know exactly what she's gonna do but I'm going there after I get it from the cleaners."

"Okay, have fun," Sonny whispers as he tugs Will closer by the front of his sweater. "We have dinner with my mom and dad at the mansion tonight, so you can probably just stick around after you and Maggie finish."

Will hums his acknowledgement as his eyes drift shut, lips puckered as he inclines his head towards Sonny. The older man smiles at Will's actions but obeys instantly to the silent demand. Sonny dips his head to press his lips to Will's tenderly. His hands come up to cup Will's face as his tongue sweeps over Will's plump bottom lip. Will moans quietly and reaches to tangle his fingers in Sonny's dark hair, as Sonny's hands slip from his face down to Will's chest, muscles defined deliciously in his tight gray sweater. Will tries to pull away but Sonny isn't having it, he loses Will's lips but happily attaches himself to Will's neck instead.

"We're gonna be late…again," Will gasps as Sonny sucks a mark behind his ear. Sonny grunts in response, grasping Will's hips in his hands pushing the blondes' crotch against his own, clothed erections pressing together, making Will's head tip back as he lets out another low moan. Sonny hands move back again to cup Will's jean clad ass, pushing their lower halves together again, this time Will taking the hint and hopping onto Sonny, wrapping his legs around the older man's waist easily.

They were late at least 2 days a week anyways, what's one more day really...fuck it, Will thinks as Sonny breathes his name into his open mouth.

Both Will and Sonny ended up skipping work, rather lounging around naked together on their rumpled sheets until Will had to go pick up his suit that afternoon.

"You're getting married," Abigail squeals for about the hundredth time, eyes threatening to start tearing again, so Aunt Maggie knowingly hands her a tissue box, taking one for herself because here come the water works. Will just looks so grown up and it's happening, it's really happening.

"Oh Will sweetie, you look so handsome," Maggie sighs and Abigail nods in agreement both of them fawning over him in his tuxedo. He straightens the jacket because he does look pretty good if he does say so himself. He crosses his fingers that a certain someone will like it too.

"Yes he does," Sonny hums smoothly from where he's leaning against the doorway of the living room.

Will whips around and three bodies are moving in a blur as they try to cover Will with a blanket or pillow or something, anything because even though they're slightly nontraditional being two men, Sonny shouldn't see Will in his wedding garb before the big day.

Maggie wraps a blanket around Will's shoulder to properly shield Will's tux from Sonny's wandering eyes. Maggie and Abigail tut at Sonny for being a peeping Tom. Sonny pays them no mind as he slinks over to Will whose cheeks are much redder under Sonny's appreciative gaze.

"You look so, so good, you're gorgeous," Sonny whispers once he's standing in front of Will. He wraps his arms around the younger man's waist and pulls him against his body, Will huffing out a breath he'd apparently been holding once they were pressed together inch for inch. Will's hands clutching the blanket around his shoulder loosen slightly when Sonny presses a kiss to his flushed cheek. "So good," Sonny reiterates against Will's lips before kissing him passionately, tongue not even waiting for an invitation before swooping in between Will's parted lips and into his lover's awaiting mouth.

A few throats are cleared but neither pulls away, Will's arms wrap around Sonny's shoulder, blanket still hanging loosely in his fingers, wrapping his makeshift cape around Sonny as well as he returns the tongue Sonny is giving him.

A few breathless moments later Will pulls his head away, face reddening even more if possible as Sonny licks his lips slowly. Will looks extremely sheepish as he notices that there are many more people in the room then he originally thought. Maggie and Abigail are still there, cheeks slightly pinker but smiles soft and loving, Brady, Dan and Sonny's two older brothers, who've flown in to spend some time with the family and for the wedding in couple months, are all there snickering about something, probably them. Adrienne looks slightly scandalized and Justin looks likes he approves but still opts for comforting his wife, who clearing wasn't expecting to come home to that. Will feels the same way as he groans inwardly, how embarrassing, members from both our families just witnessed us making out like a couple of horny teenagers, he pulls the blanket up so it's covering his face, taking cover from all the eyes he doesn't really want to meet at the moment.

He really wants to kick Sonny when he chuckles, but decides against it when gentle hands start rubbing up and down his arms. Sonny smiles a soft kiss to the Will's hairline that is just visible above the blanket.

"I can't wait to marry you," Sonny sighs against the fabric of the blanket that's covering Will's forehead, successfully managing to get Will out of his hiding place. Wide cautious blue eyes meet his over the top of the blanket and Sonny can't help but kiss his forehead again. "I can't wait till you're all mine," Will's voice barely a whisper as he blinks up at Sonny, fingers curling into the fabric of Sonny's black long sleeved Henley.

"I'm already all yours," this earns Sonny that dazzling smile he loves so much and he can't help that he wants to slap a kiss on those delicious, smiling lips, so he does.
It quickly escalates and soon they're both radiating desire, both for each other and to never come back up for air again. Will's pretty sure he could survive solely on Sonny and his lips alone.

Brady catcalls behind them while Sonny's brother Alex sends a wolf whistle echoing through the room and Will wishes for a moment that the floor would swallow him up. Then his eyes meet Sonny's again and everything else just disappears. He loves when Sonny looks at him like that, his eyes twinkle and his smile is so soft it's like it's painted on like one of Sydney's porcelain dolls.

"Did you see him in his tux Sonny," Adrienne asks tone tough like a mother on a mission. Will's sure he definitely would've been scared shitless as a kid had it been Adrienne Kiriakis scolding him.

"Yup," Sonny says coolly, popping the 'p', Will catches Adrienne roll her eyes quickly.

"That's not traditional Sonny, not to mention it's bad luck," Adrienne warns looking for back up from the people around, Abigail and Maggie nod their heads but then men looks fairly unconcerned with the matter.

"My fiancé looks so fucking hot he could melt ice and you want me to worry about tradition and bad luck," most of the group behind them breaks out into uncontrollable snickers. Sonny turns his gaze back on Will, "fuck that," he whispers so only Will can hear, making Will smile against Sonny's smooth lips as his mouth is claimed in yet another kiss, this one having an air of desperation to it, like Sonny might die if he didn't kiss Will right then and there.

"Jackson," she scolds for his language, and Will nearly flinches but then Sonny's arms are wrapping around his back, tongue twirling with his and he can't really think beyond how warm the inside of Sonny's mouth is and how desperately they need to get each other out of these clothes.

The group loses interest and leaves them to their business, Adrienne leaving with a small huff and a fond smile because she's never seen her baby so happy. She follows her husband and the rest of the family into the dining room for dinner, dinner that Will and Sonny never make it to.


An early autumn breeze makes the oak trees in the park sway, leaves picking up and dancing around his feet as he makes his way towards the clearing to approve designs for the interior of the master bedroom.

Construction on the house finished in early September and the inside was well on its way to being completed. He stood at the edge of the clearing admiring the work that had been done since he'd last checked in which was only a week ago at most.

A small stone pathway wrapped around the edge of the clearing as to not take too much away from the meadow itself; leading to what Sonny saw as a masterpiece. He was in love with everything about this house and he hoped against hope that Will would be too. Being a part of the process, working with the designers and team of contractors every step of the way made this whole thing that much more special, and he honestly couldn't wait to move in.

The landscapers had finished the gardens around the house, bushed and shrubbery surrounded the house and walkway to the front porch, flowers that wouldn't bloom until next spring were there but not visible but Sonny could only imagine the perfection they would create once they were.

A medium, one floor, stone cottage nestled cozily in the far right corner of the clearing stands proudly as what Sonny and soon Will, will consider their house.

The inside is filled with homey touches, a plush rug here, soft leather couches in the den, stretched landscape photos, and pictures of cities he and Will have visited on their vacations over the years decorated the walls in hallway. Dark blue accents, Will's favorite color, take over the house without being overbearing, the curtains in all the rooms, the comforter in the master bedroom, the towels in the bathrooms, the door that leads outside from the kitchen, the pillows in the living room and carpet in the den all proudly wear the color that Will loves so much.

Nothing is too extravagantly decorated, since Sonny didn't want to go overboard. He wants Will to put his own touches in as well, so the décor in many of the rooms is minimalistic at the moment and will stay that way until Will gives his input and together they work to make this cute little house in the woods, their home.


October passes in a blur, finishing touches for the big day and idle wedding talk at basically every turn and before either knows it it's a week into November and the wedding is a little over a month away.

Sonny's at the table in the kitchen doing some paperwork for Common Grounds and Will is in the bedroom on his laptop. It's a lazy day to say the least but Sonny can tell something is up with Will, you can't be with someone for over 3 years and not notice when they have something important to say. Will tends to wear his heart on his sleeve when something is eating at him and this time was no different, he'd been walking around with that lost look that broke Sonny's heart a little more every time he saw for about a week now and still nothing. Sonny's learned that it doesn't help in these situations to push but rather let Will come to him because he will, he always does.

He hears Will moving around in the bedroom, shuffling around almost like he's pacing and few minutes later he's made his way out towards Sonny, hovering in the threshold between the living room and kitchen, fidgeting and antsy like he always got before he bared his soul.

Sonny has the passing thought that maybe he's about to call off the wedding. Maybe he doesn't want to get married after all; maybe this isn't what he wants…maybe I'm not what he wants. Sonny's stomach churns violently at this thought and for a few moments he physically can't breathe, then Will clears his throat and he's brought back to the land of the living, and hey he can breathe again.

"I want to change my name," Will rushes out, hands wringing together nervously and what?

"What," Sonny's confused, he doesn't know what Will's talking about and right now he's actually more concerned with the fact that his fiancé looks like he might pass out.

"I want to change my name," Will reiterates his previous statement, and honestly it doesn't make much more sense to Sonny the second time he's hearing it. Will takes a deep steadying breath before taking a step further into the room, closer to Sonny who's watching him with an expression of pure confusion.

Will smiles softly and takes another step forward, "I want to be the other Mr. Kiriakis."

Oh.

Sonny stands from his chair, shock replacing the confusion on his face because they hadn't even talked about that. Honestly with everything else, the flurry of wedding details and doting family members, the concept of whose name they would keep, if they changed their names at all that is, slipped his mind, until now that is. Shock is replaced by elation almost immediately. A myriad of emotions are flitting across his features all of a happy nature.

To say Sonny's thrilled would be a huge understatement. He's on cloud fucking nine, floating, flying, positively soaring. Actually he's very much turned on by this confession and Will's bashful blush and come-hither doe eyes are screaming that he knew this was exactly what his declaration would do to Sonny, the little imp.

He is across the room, lips on Will's the younger men tightly in his arms before either could bat an eyelash. He picks Will up quickly, swallowing the breathy laugh that leaves his mouth and carries him to the bedroom without having to open his eyes, body on auto pilot all the way to the bed.

...

Later that night as a comfortable silence fills the bedroom, Sonny tests Will's new name out on his tongue, drawing giggles from Will who seems to be as in love with the sound of it as Sonny is.

William Robert Kiriakis.

Damn.

How long until the wedding?


"So you ready to do this," Chad asks with a smile over counter of the coffeehouse one rainy December afternoon about a week before the wedding.

Sonny nods his head in response as a goofy grin takes over his face. Chad chuckles at his best friend, knowing even without Sonny saying the words that this, with Will is all he's ever wanted and he's counting the minutes until Will is finally his.

"I'm really happy for you man," Chad says as he claps Sonny on the arm over the counter. "You two are just so good together and well…I've known you a long time but I've known Will longer and I can promise you Sonny that Will has never been happier than he is with you. He's really Will when he's with you. I honestly think you saved him, in so many ways you saved him and maybe he saved you too, I don't know. I'm just really glad that you too have each other." Sonny listens with rapt attention as he and Chad have a brotherly moment in the busy coffeehouse. He doesn't say anything because Chad doesn't look like he's finished so he waits with a smile, the smile he gets when he or anyone else talks about his Will.

"You two just have this amazing way of loving each other and just, you just fit together so effortlessly. If all of us could love with even an ounce of how you and Will love each other, we'd all be with the same person for the rest of our lives, devoted and happy and completely over the moon."

Chad is emotional about very few things in his life, so this Chad is new albeit completely welcome and appreciated. He's mastered the art of being a DiMera and he carries the attitude that comes with his blood with all the sureness that even Stefano couldn't shake a stick at, so this, Sonny thinks, is totally okay with him.

"I just hope you know what a lucky son of a bitch you are, both of you."

Sonny and Chad share a laugh, Sonny nods his head, "I know man, and you're right I'm the luckiest guy alive. Thanks Chad, truly thank you, I am happy, so, so happy, I've never knew someone could be this happy." Chad comes around the counter to meet Sonny in a friendly hug; Sonny's eyes shining in thanks to any heavenly powers that exist for all the wonderful, amazing ways he's been blessed in his life.

"Uh-oh should I be worried," a light laugh bubbles from behind them. They pull apart and turn to see a smirking Will. Chad catches the brief flicker of anxiety in his blue eyes, likes he's actually wondering if he should be nervous…doesn't he know Sonny wouldn't know how to live without him. They all remember when they'd tried that a while back, it was stupid and foolish and it didn't work at all. They simply didn't work without the other but it took being apart, miserable and alone for a few weeks for them to see that, for them to run back into each others arms and hang on with the intention of never letting each other go again.

Sonny approaches Will, takes his hands in his own, lacing their fingers together while he presses his forehead against Will's whispering something that Chad doesn't catch. He thinks it must've been an affirmation, confirmation regarding Sonny's feelings considering how brightly Will's smile becomes, how his cheeks flush and his eyes flick away from Sonny's shyly. Chad finds it endearing how absolutely adorable they are, especially Will, his innocence and vulnerability make how utterly love-sick he is that much sweeter, that much more pronounced.

Sonny tilts his head to nuzzle his nose against Will's and then they're kissing. Will sighs softly as their lips move together, moving his hands to rest on Sonny's chest through his black button down shirt. Sonny's hands gentle on each side of Will's neck as Chad watches the younger of the two collapse slightly pressing impossibly closer, seeming to melt under Sonny's lips like he's trying to slip within Sonny, so he'll be warm and safe and loved forever. So his heart can thrum happily alongside Sonny's for the rest of their days as a constant reminder of their boundless, unending love.

Chad stares at the two even as he feels slightly guilty, likes he's intruding on a moment that's so intimate and special no one should be experiencing it but Sonny and Will, still he can't tear his eyes away. They pull away and just stare at each other, deeply, nothing but love and adoration filling up their eyes, as the world around them falls away. Chad thinks that these two lucky bastards have a love for the ages; you can see it just in the way they look at one another that they're beyond smitten, completely head over heels, ridiculously in love.

His fingers are crossed that one day he'll find someone who will love him even of a fraction of how much his best friends love each other. Sonny smiles at Will soft and sweet and Will looks at Sonny like he hung the moon, the sun and the stars, like Sonny is the lamp that lights his world and if he turned away for even a moment his world would grow dark and he wouldn't be able to breathe. He believes in the idea of soul mates because of the love his best friends share. Chad has the brief thought that maybe, just maybe Abigail is his Sonny, his hopes are high and the idea makes him smile.

It's crazy the way they love and Chad is nothing but happy for his two best friends and the love, happiness and future they've found in each other.


Abigail's struggling to push Sonny from the Horton house where Will is spending the night because even though Sonny protested when spending the night before their wedding apart was suggested he had caved instantly when Will smiled softly at him whispering I want to. Now, however the two love birds didn't want to say goodbye.

Will chuckles from behind Abigail as her attempts are once again futile as Sonny wiggles from her grasp, spins around her smaller form to gather Will in his arms again. She really wants to be upset but the way Will is holding Sonny's face tenderly in his hands, the way their foreheads are pressed together and their eyes are closed, she couldn't possibly be angry watching that.

Will's whispering things to Sonny so gently that she makes herself look away as to not intrude on them any further, she has the quick thought that maybe she should give them a moment alone but then it's chased away by the thought that if she did that they'd escape to one of the many bedrooms in the house and she definitely wouldn't be getting Sonny out of there after that.

Will leaves a tender kiss on Sonny's lips, letting his mouth linger for a few moments, soft and closed mouth, loving with no intention of anything beyond. It's perfect.

"I'll see you tomorrow," Will sighs when they pull away but not apart, still very much entwined, "at our wedding." Will can't help but squeak, he has waited so long for this and finally, finally it was here. Tomorrow he's marrying the love of his life, the man of his dreams and they will spend forever, the rest of their lives just as completely in love as they are right at this very moment.

Sonny smiles warmly, kissing Will's cheek before he pulls away fully, taking Will's hands in his when Will whines softly at the loss of contact.

"I'll be the handsome one in the Tom Ford tuxedo at the end of the aisle," Sonny says with a cheeky grin that makes Will's pulse quicken.

Sonny slips away from Will before he can convince himself to stay.

He hugs Abigail tightly, kisses her on the cheek before, asking her to take care of him for me, softly enough that Will doesn't hear and Abigail's heart stutters briefly because these two are just opening her eyes to a whole new level of love and devotion. She winks at him as he opens the door behind him. He lingers in the doorway for a moment before turning around and sharing one last look with Will, blowing him a kiss, which Will catches in his right hand, holding it over his heart, they all laugh at how ridiculous the two are being, and then Sonny's gone, slipping out in the chilly December night leaving a burst of frosty air and a teary eyed Will in his wake.

Abigail rushes to comfort him, but knows there isn't much she can do, "We haven't spent a night apart in 3 years, I don't know how to sleep without him."

Abigail heart pinches at the pure vulnerability in Will's voice and at how utterly defeated he looks. She pulls him close and he collapses against her immediately. "It's only one night, after tomorrow you never have to be apart again." This sentiment is enough to make Will smile briefly and that's enough for Abigail. She tugs Will further into the house so they can watch movies and eat junk food and hopefully tucker Will out enough so that he's able to get a little bit of sleep. Abigail's hopes aren't high on that one but she'll blame the fact that Will couldn't sleep on sheer excitement, tomorrow was his wedding day after all.


The date had been set, invites sent out to every family member and friend they have, cake prepared to their liking, tuxes pressed and shoes shined, venue decorated, adorned to perfection, everything's set and ready to go.

Though their marriage won't be recognized in the eyes of the church, Eric offered to be their officiant because their marriage was recognized in the eyes of the state and their love was recognized in his eyes and that he had said was good enough for him. Will had cried during that lunch with his uncle, Sonny, Sami and Lucas at the pub. Thanking his uncle repeatedly, hugging him tightly because it truly meant so much to him, more then he'd ever be able to say.

A light snow began to fall the morning of the wedding, dusting the town of Salem in sparkling white by the time their early evening wedding rolled around.

December 18th.

Today was the day.

All those months of waiting and endless planning had led them to this; it was finally, finally here.

The largest part of the park had been transformed into a magical garden, a little wonderland thanks to all the Horton women and Adrienne; the trees were laced with twinkling lights, the aisle of white rose petals was lined with candles of all shapes and sizes. Everything had been covered in a thin layer of white from the earlier snow fall added just another element of magic to this wonderful day.

A slight chill was in the air as the guest waited in their seats, holding little bags of glitter to be thrown at the couple but no one minded the temperature, if they did they didn't show it. Everyone seemed to be warmed by the warmth shining in Sonny's eyes as he waited at the top of the aisle for his groom to be.

The music starts to play and every one stands, turns to watch as Will and Sami come to stand at top of the aisle. Sonny's brothers pat him on the back, whispering how this is the smartest thing he's ever done, Sonny's reply simply being, I know. Allie and Sydney sprinkle glitter down the aisle, blushing when Sonny sends them a both a smile and a wink. Chad follows, then Johnny who runs to hug Sonny, who bends down to return the embrace just as tightly, once he's at the end of the aisle earning an endearing laugh from the people gathered. Johnny then gets picked up by Chad so he can see everything properly, 8 years old is great but not when everything else is at least 2 feet taller than you. All the men are wearing perfectly tailored tuxedos with black bow ties around their necks. Sonny's heart catches and he has to remind himself to breathe when he takes in the sight of Will in his tuxedo, he looks so good, so handsome, so...perfect.

Sami kisses Will's cheek before hugging them both tightly, tears already streaming down her face as she goes to sit in between Lucas and EJ who hands her his handkerchief with a small smile. No one can tear their eyes away from the couple at the nonexistent altar as Eric begins.

There isn't a dry eye in the room as the vows are exchanged because no one in attendance has ever witnessed to people love as purely, as deeply, and as wholeheartedly as Sonny and Will love each other and if their words don't capture it the matching looks of total adoration they're wearing definitely do. A single tear escapes the corner of Wills' eye as Sonny finishes his vows, which is quickly swiped away by the pad of Sonny's thumb.

The rings are exchanged, Sonny's matching Will's save for the inscription on the inside. His saying, until Lonrach burns out. Sonny's eyes fill with tears that had stayed away, surprisingly, to this point. "And long, long after," Will says softly as he slips the band onto Sonny's ring finger. Sonny's eyes flick up to the shimmering sky above them, just dark enough to see those beautiful twinkling stars, that his soon to be husband loves so much. When his gaze comes back down to rest on Will, the younger man's head is still tipped back admiring the sky with wonder and a lump forms in his throat as it hits him that this is it. They're a few short moments away from being married and it's without a doubt the best thing he's ever done. Like everything in his life so far has led him to this point, this is where he is meant to be, but he already knew that. He looks back to the sky and the stars that he's developed a love for through Will and he smiles at the thought that they can only go up from here even though he wants to doubt that anyone could ever fly higher than he is right now.

Will's smile is slightly sheepish and Sonny's gentle but knowing as Will's gaze falls away from the sky. The fact that the stars are out and shining, that they were twinkling down at them as they said their vows and promised themselves to each other for the rest of their lives makes this moment all the more special because when he breaks it down, which Sonny has many times already, that star, Will's star, Lonrach and that shooting star is really what led them here. Sure he probably would've asked eventually but wishing on that star gave him the courage to get his act together and just ask Will to marry him already, since in all honesty there would never be anyone better for him, Will was it for him and he knew that, he'd never doubted it, he had just needed a little push.

"By the power vested in me by the state of Illinois, I know pronounce you husband and…uh husband," Eric finishes with a chuckle earning one from his smiling nephew, Sonny and everyone else in attendance. "You may now kiss your groom."

Will grins widely as hops up making everyone laugh again because it's just so Will. Sonny pulls him closer by his hands, moving one to cup Will's face, "wishing on that star was the 2nd best thing I ever did," Sonny whispers just before their lips touch.

Will stutters and everyone waits with looks of wonder on their faces, holding their breath because why did they stop? Will tilts his head at curiously, "2nd thing," he breathes, "what was the first."

"Marrying you," Sonny whispers simply before closing the distance between them and kissing his husband soundly, wild cheers erupt around them but they're both too lost to care. Sonny's other arm snakes around Will's waist as Will's move around his neck and one settles on the lapel of his jacket. Sonny pulls away smiling at the fact that Will's eyes are still closed, he moves to kiss him one more time, dipping Will back a few degrees, effectively making the men cheer and the women swoon. Everyone claps, the men comfort the blubbering women as the try to deny their own tears, the mother's hug each other tightly and two families are joined together seamlessly like this was always how it was meant to be but no one had really seen it until now, thanks to Sonny and Will.

"I love you," Will sighs once he's been righted again. "And I love you," Sonny whispers, lacing their fingers together and making their way back down the aisle, glitter being tossed at them on their way, contagious smiles light up both of their faces as this wonderful feeling fills both of them up and threatens to carry them away.

We're married.

Will's star, no their star actually starts shining a little brighter after that.


a/n: One more part friends, stay tuned!

Love to all who review.
