Several Months Later
"I'm going to die if I don't have it right now," Will Horton groaned, sweat beading along his forehead. Pupils blown wide and mouth open, Will could have cried.
Alex Kiriakis smirked feeling extremely satisfied with himself. "Aw, poor baby," Alex cooed before slowly licking his way inside Will's ass, again. They still had hours before they had to pick the kid up from preschool, 'Plenty of time for this,' Alex thought, tongue swirling against Will's slick opening.
Will canted his hips pressing closer to Alex's tongue. His wrists were shaking from holding himself up for so long. "Please Alex please," Will begged, "I need it so bad."
"Shh," Alex whispered, "Just a little while longer pet." Alex wrapped his mouth around Will's opening and sucked causing Will to scream.
Will's wrists could no longer hold him up causing Will to collapse on his chest, ass straight up in the air.
Chuckling Alex reached his hand along the bed for the lube he set out earlier. Slapping one hand on Will's round ass Alex smiled at the way it jiggled and bounced. 'Fuck, I can't believe I get this any time I want.'
Hearing the snick of the lid Will sobbed in relief, "Oh god, Alex, hurry." Will had been waiting so, so long for this. He hadn't had Alex's cock in almost days. "If I don't have you inside of me I'm going to die."
"I know pet," Alex consoled, hand rubbing the red mark he left on Will's cheek. Pouring an ample supply of lube in his palms and rubbing them together Alex rubbed one hand along Will's balls teasingly and wiped the other hand up and down Will's crack. Slipping his middle finger inside of Will slickly Alex grinned at the sound Will emitted. "Like that?"
"It would be better if it was your cock," Will laughed unable to stop his hips from grinding back against the thick finger inside of him. "Hurry up."
Rolling his eyes, groaning at Will's tight heat, Alex added a second finger without warning. "Better?"
"Almost," Will panted, fucking himself on Alex's fingers. 'His perfect, perfect fingers.'
Crooking his fingers quickly, hearing the predictable squeal from Will, Alex said sarcastically, "You were saying?"
"I take it back," Will answered, biting the sheets between his teeth, muffling his voice, "I don't need your cock. I just need this. Just this."
"Ah, ah, ah," Alex said frowning, yanking his fingers out of Will roughly, "That doesn't sound like someone who wants their ass fucked."
"No, no, no, put it back," Will sat up quickly, eyes panicked, "Please Alex. I was just teasing. You know how much I need your cock. How much I love it."
"I don't know," Alex mused, looking up and down Will's gloriously naked body. 'Fuck I'll never complain about how long he spends at the gym again.' "I think you're going to have to apologize properly."
Smiling brightly Will shoved Alex onto his back with a laugh before he wrapped his hand around his cock, holding it upwards and slurped it into his mouth. Tongue licking up all the precome he had leaked Will looked up at Alex with sultry eyes. Will knew just how much Alex loved when Will was wanton and demanding. Averting his eyes Will slid down Alex's cock until just the head was in his throat.
"Fuck," Alex praised, hands in Will's hair, "Mmm, love when you suck my cock. Fuck, you take me so well. Never had anyone take as much of me as you do." Alex tried to keep his eyes open, not wanting to miss a second of his thick cock gliding between those perfect, pink lips.
Will took just a bit more of Alex's cock, eyes watering. 'But it's worth it.' Will loved hearing how better he was than anyone else Alex slept with, 'Especially when he's fucked so many people.' Will wasn't exactly jealous knowing Alex had so many partners because Alex never once made him feel insecure or worried. But it certainly elevated Will's ego to know that he was the best Alex had ever had. 'That he's ever going to have,' Will vowed. Pulling off with a loud pop, voice husky, Will stated, "I want to ride you now."
"Yes, fuck yes," Alex agreed. Reaching for the lube once again and slathering Will's hole. He knew Will could handle it a little bit dry but Alex wasn't in the mood for rough and punishing. He typically saved that for when he was feeling possessive. 'Like the night at Sami's Christmas party and her boss spent the whole night eye fucking Will.' As Alex slipped two fingers inside of Will, just to make sure, Alex closed his eyes and remembered how fantastic that night was. He shoved Will into the kitchen, not caring that anyone could walk inside, and fucked him over the kitchen table. 'But tonight I want him slick.'
Will, straddling Alex's lap, groaned, "Fuck, I'm ready. I am so fucking ready." Reaching behind him for Alex's cock Will guided it to his hole and oh so slowly slid down until he could feel Alex's all the way inside of him. Shuddering Will fell forward, hands on either side of Alex's head, "Oh god. Never going that long again."
"Never," Alex agreed, reaching his hands up and yanking Will into a wet, deep kiss. Feeling Will's perfect tight ass clenching around his cock Alex kissed Will dirtily all tongues and teeth.
Will, finally feeling full and content, pushed his knees into the bed before he lifted himself up slowly and sank back down. "Alex," Will praised against his mouth, "Alex, so good."
Sliding his hands down to Will's ass, gripping it tightly, Alex pulled his cheeks apart before touching where they were connected. Pulling away from Will's mouth Alex begged, "Please, please let me."
Will, wanting it, needing it, nodded, "Yes. Fuck, stretch me open."
Sitting up slightly Alex groped along the bed for the lube, drizzling more along Will's hole before twisting his finger alongside his cock. Groaning, loving the wet, tight heat of fucking Will bare Alex almost cried himself when he felt his finger brushing against his cock. "Oh god, Will," Alex moaned lifting his hips, meeting Will's thrusts. "Oh fuck. One of these days I want to do it."
"Mmm," Will nodded almost lost in his own lust, circling his hips, wanting to feel all of Alex. "When we do what I want we'll do what you want."
"No," Alex whined, fucking into Will rapidly in punishment. "I won't let anyone else touch you. That's never happening."
"But Alex," Will teased, "I thought you wanted to watch me get stuffed completely full."
"With a fucking toy," Alex grunted glaring at Will's pink cheeks and bright blue eyes. "No one else is ever, ever going to be inside of you again. You're mine. All mine. Understand?"
"I don't know," Will breathed against his lips, "Why don't you show me you're all the cock I'm ever going to need?"
Growling Alex rolled Will onto his hands and knees slamming into Will quickly, roughly. "I'm the only one that gets this." He slapped a hand on Will's ass harshly. "Me, only me." Fucking into Will rapidly, Will making whimpering noises, Alex promised, "This is my ass and my hole and my body. Only me." Sneaking his hand down to Will's cock Alex stroked him, hand still slicked to perfection, knowing exactly what Will wanted to hear. "I love you. You're all mine and I'm all yours. I'm the only one that gets to touch you or kiss you or love you. You don't need any other cock but mine. Just this cock and this bed and my body."
Will, breath knocked out of him, begged Alex, "Please, Alex, please."
"You want me to come inside of you," Alex gruffly whispered into Will's ear. "Want me to paint your insides and mark you as mine? Want me to lick you clean or plug you up tonight pet?"
Will, screaming out his release thrust into Alex's tight grip and wonderful cock. Rambling out praises, tears lining his eyes Will shouted, "Yes, fuck yes. Only need your cock Alex. Only need you. Just you. Want your come. Want it so bad. Want to feel it sloshing around inside of me at dinner. Want you to know it's there. Want to get back into bed tonight and have it drip out of me back on your cock."
Alex, roaring, hips grinding, felt himself spurting into Will's ass. "Fuck, fuck, fuck." Pushing into Will weakly until he was spent Alex collapsed onto Will's back unconcerned that he was crushing him. He knew Will liked being surrounded after sex. Kissing along Will's neck and face Alex breathed into Will's ear, "Fuck, I love you. Jesus Christ Will."
"I love you too," Will moaned blissfully enjoying the heat and gentle pressure of Alex's body on top of him.
"Where's your plug," Alex questioned nuzzling into Will's neck, sucking slightly. He wished he could mark Will everywhere but Will had gotten scolded for it at work once. Alex wasn't about to get Will into trouble. 'I'll just mark him on the inside instead.'
"Like you don't know," Will smiled face heating up as it always did when they were done.
"And there's that blush I love," Alex smiled smugly as he gently pulled out. "Make sure you don't lose any," Alex ordered with a light smack smiling when he saw Will clenching his hole.
Locating the box full of Alex's favorite toys Alex pulled out their well-used plug, slicking it up and pushing it into Will smiling when he saw the little hook on the end of it. Will didn't care for the fancy decorations but since Alex was the one who got to see it so Will went along with it. 'Plus it turned out fantastic in those private pictures we took last week,' Alex thought grinning.
Will, snuggling into the pillows, laughed lightly, "Quit admiring my ass and get over here."
"I can't help it," Alex admitted with a roguish smile. "It looks so fucking pretty like that."
"Uh huh," Will rolled his eyes, shoving Alex onto the bed and kissing him.
Just as Alex was about to roll Will onto his back they heard the doorbell ring.
"Who the fuck is that," Alex complained, "We've still got hours."
"Who cares," Will stated sucking on Alex's bottom lip.
Hearing the bell again Alex, annoyed, dipped his tongue into Will's mouth determined to find the taste of his precome. With the bell continuing Alex threw his head back in frustration, "Oh for fuck's sake." Climbing over Will Alex yelled at Will, "Don't fucking move."
Completely nude Alex ripped the door opened and snarled out, "Someone better be dead!"
"Alex," Joey Kirakis said with a wide grin, "Wow. You greet everyone that comes to your door this way?"
Alex, crossing his arms, unconcerned with his nudity, "What the hell are you two doing here?"
"Is that anyway to talk to your baby brother's," Vic Kiriakis answered shoving Alex to the side and stepping inside. Looking around Vic nodded his head approvingly. "You know when you said you were buying a house I didn't actually think you were serious but this is pretty nice."
"Nice," Joey agreed with his twin, "And suspicious." Lifting up a Barbie doll by her long blonde hair Joey asked, "Something you've been hiding from us big brother?"
Snatching the doll from his brother and tossing it near the doorway to Ari's playroom, 'I thought I told her to put that shit away?' Clearing his throat Alex shrugged, "I'm not hiding anything. Besides, it's not my kid."
"Then whose is it," Vic, imitating Alex and crossing his arms. "If you have a love child you can tell us you know. There's no need to be ashamed. I'm sure we've all done worse."
Eyebrow raised, ready to tell Vic and Joey the truth, Alex opened his mouth when he saw something half naked and gorgeous walking down the stairs.
"Alex," Will questioned, hobbling slightly, toy impeding his movements, tiny briefs barely covering his body, "What's taking so long?" Stopping at the landing, seeing Alex talking to two people, 'Identical people,' Will looked at Alex expectantly.
Joey, tilting his head sideways, looking Will up and down laughed at Alex, "You know I always suspected but damn. At least you bagged yourself a hot one."
Vic, frowning slightly, looked at the blonde boys face, 'He looks so familiar.' "Alex," Vic turned to his brother, "What's going on here?"
"Can I at least put on some pants first," Alex asked with a deceptively sweet smile on his face. Walking up the stairs to Will, turning him around and covering his body so his brothers couldn't see, Alex marched him up the stairs, "And this is my boyfriend."
Vic, feeling confused and like he was missing something, "Didn't he look familiar?"
"Uh, no," Joey said, looking at his brother oddly. "But then again I don't watch gay porn like you so I wouldn't recognize anyone's naked body."
"That was one time and it was to give to Sonny," Vic defended himself having had this argument for years. "I just think I know him from somewhere."
"Wait, you don't think he really is a porn star right," Joey asked in concern. "Because I don't think Alex would like that."
Ignoring his brother Vic wandered around the house taking in the open concept floorplan. 'It's nice,' Vic decided, 'Not too big but not too small.' Walking over to where Alex threw the doll Vic peeked his head into the room surprised to see it was completely filled with girly toys. 'What the fuck?' In the middle of the room was a big floor length mirror with princess dresses piled next to it. "Princess Arianna," Vic read out loud seeing the sign on the door. "Wait a minute," Vic said backing away and turning to see some pictures on the wall.
There was Alex with Joey, Vic and their father Justin. There was Alex with his boyfriend. There was a group of three small children and a beautiful blonde woman. And there was Alex's boyfriend with a young equally blonde daughter. 'Oh my god,' Vic thought. 'She looks just like that picture I saw in Mom's new place. Oh my god.' Mouth opened unattractively Vic turned to Alex and the blonde man following behind him on the stairs.
"Alright," Alex announced, "Joey, Vic this is my boyfriend-"
"Will," Vic said blankly, feeling confused, "Will Horton."
"Wait," Joey said looking over at Will, "You mean like?"
"Yeah," Alex nodded, face set, daring his brother's to say anything, "Sonny's Ex."
Will looked between the three brothers slowly. His arms were held calmly at his sides, his back straight. A year ago Will would have curled into himself trying to fend off any harsh looks or words thrown his way. A few months ago he might have stood partially behind Alex letting him protect him. 'But not now.' Clearing his throat Will took a step forward and stuck out his hand, "I'm Will."
Joey, recovering first, shook Will's hand, "I'm Joey." Seeing Vic staring at Will uneasily Joey pointed at him, "That's Vic."
Lowering his hand when he realized Vic wasn't interested in shaking it Will said, "Nice to meet you." Lips quirking when he felt the familiar warmth of Alex's palm against his lower back Will said confidently, "I'm sure you must have a lot of questions."
Finding his voice Vic answered loudly, "You're damn right we do." Rounding on Alex, effectively blocking Will out of the conversation, Vic demanded, "Alex, what the fuck?"
Rolling his eyes, Alex lowered his hand to Will's back pocket, "What?"
"How are you, why did you, what the hell is this," Vic rushed out outraged. "How can you be with him after what he did?"
Instinctively knowing Alex would say something to make it worse Will stated, "After I slept with someone else while I was married to Sonny?" That was another thing that Will never would have done months ago. Now, he could easily and freely think and talk about Sonny Kiriakis without his throat seizing up.
"Yes," Vic shouted voice entirely too loud. "How can you be with this, this wh-"
Alex, eyes narrowed, cut off his brother, "Shut the fuck up. You don't get to come into our home and talk about him like that. You don't get to say anything to him, ever; if that's the shit you're going to be spewing. So either check your goddamn attitude or get out."
Putting his hand on Alex's chest Will huffed, "Can you cool it? I am perfectly capable of speaking for myself."
"Trust me; I know," Alex leered at Will, 'And god does it turn me on when you do.'
Sighing good-naturedly at his boyfriend Will turned back to Vic and said severely, "Don't ever call me that again."
Vic, swallowing, surprised by the easy way Alex revolved around Will and the confidence Will exuded, "Right."
"I think what my idiotic brother was trying to say," Joey remarked, hoping to ease some of the tension in the room, "Is how did you two even meet each other?"
"I picked him up in a bar," Alex shrugged, "I decided one night wasn't going to be enough."
Blushing slightly Will smiled awkwardly, "We didn't know who the other was initially actually. That didn't happen until we got serious."
"And by then it was too late," Alex admitted, looking surprisingly tender, "He already sunk his claws in me."
"Oh please," Will rolled his eyes and tossed his head, "You were the one who was terrified I was going to leave you. In case you forgot."
"That never happened," Alex insisted smirking at Will. "You just couldn't get enough of me."
Vic, confused and slightly disturbed by the whole situation, "So let me get this straight," giving Alex a once over, "Or not so straight. You didn't find out how you were connected until after you got involved? And you didn't care at all who he was when you found out?"
"Why would I care," Alex shot Vic a sharp look. "I already knew Will. Nothing changed for me knowing his last name."
"Or what it used to be," Vic snorted nastily.
Raising one brow Will smiled pleasantly, "Actually I never changed my name when I was married. Made getting divorced easier." 'Jackass,' Will thought to himself while he smiled.
"Are you just doing this to piss off Mom," Vic questioned, not having any idea what to make of this, "Because I know how you feel about that."
"No," Alex growled dangerously, "That woman has nothing to with my relationship, you asshole. I don't give a shit who Will was married to or who he fucked before he met me. The only thing you need to know is he's with me now. That's all that matters."
"It doesn't matter to you at all that he used to sleep with Sonny," Vic crossed his arms and asked bluntly, "That he was married to him. That he vowed to spend the rest of his life with only him. Well," Vic snorted, "We know how long he lasted with that one."
Seconds away from punching his brother Alex took a step forward but halted when Will grabbed his arm and held him back.
"I don't think you really want to be talking about vows and the sanctity of marriage to me," Will said lowly, "Because if I was as big of a douchebag as you I could go on and on about your baby brother. But I'm not. So I'm going to tell you either accept my relationship with Alex or don't. It's really none of my concern what you do. But until you figure it out get out." Will walked over to the front door and held it open. "Out."
Vic stormed towards the door, shoulder banging into Will's on the way out, teeth grinding together.
Joey smiled uncomfortably at Will, "Um, it was nice to meet you. Sorry about Vic."
"It was nice to see you too," Will told him rationally, "Maybe I'll see you again."
Alex frowned as he sat down across from his twin brothers at a diner near his house. He didn't want to come but Will convinced him.
"They're your brothers," Will told Alex gently as he gathered Ari's backpack and lunch box, throwing stray toys near her playroom. "And they found out something major. Maybe Vic will be more receptive when I'm not there."
"He insulted you to your face," Alex seethed sitting on the couch with his shirt off, feet on the table, "I don't owe him anything anymore."
Yelling up for Ari to hurry up from the bottom of the staircase Will dropped Ari's things on the floor before he crawled onto Alex's lap. Biting his lip while cupping Alex's cheeks Will sighed, "Sonny's your brother too. They're just looking out for you both."
Face twisting, hating when Will talked about Sonny, Alex reached up and held Will's hands to his face. Looking into Will's bright blue eyes Alex nodded, "OK, fine. One more chance. But only because you asked me to."
Kissing Alex sweetly, groaning when he felt Alex's hands fall to his ass, Will nipped his lips gently.
"Ew, Daddy," Ari complained when she walked down the stairs, "Gross. You said no more kissing when I can see you."
"You said that kid. I don't remember agreeing to it," Alex informed her, pouting slightly when Will climbed off of him. Watching Ari put on her backpack and head towards the door Alex asked, "You remember your book this time?"
"Yes," Ari huffed, rolling her eyes, "Duh."
"Whatever," Alex crossed his arms.
Will shook his head at the two of them fondly. 'She's picking up way too many of his habits,' Will shook his head. "I'll see you when I get home from work," Will bent over and kissed Alex again, chuckling when Alex made as much noise as possible to get Ari to shriek. "Go see your brothers!"
Shaking himself out of the memory Alex gazed at his brothers' identical faces.
Joey smiled at Alex trying to ignore Vic's stony silence beside him, "So, Alex. I take it you like living in California?"
Unthawing slightly Alex shrugged, "Yeah, it's got its perks. Weather's nice and there's always stuff to do."
Vic, biting his tongue so he wouldn't make a remark, closed his eyes tightly and instead asked, "And how's the photography going?"
"Good," Alex answered him truthfully. "A few of my photos are in a couple galleries in downtown Los Angeles. And I might get my recent collection published in a book."
"Really," Joey asked with a grin, "That's awesome! I'm not surprised naked bodies are so popular here." Giving Alex a playful look Joey wondered, "Any models in particular you might like?"
"The only one I'm interested in is the one whose photos he won't let me show," Alex raised his eyebrow challengingly.
"Will doesn't want anyone to see them," Vic asked gently a bit surprised. 'I would have thought he'd want everyone to see him that way.'
"No," Alex stated resolutely. "He doesn't. It took months for me to convince him to let me take any. It's a damn shame since I think they're my best work but oh well."
"That's actually kind of sweet," Joey responded after thinking about it.
"Ok, can we just be real right now," Vic questioned completely honest. "Explain the Will thing to me."
"I already told you," Alex said blankly.
"No," Vic shook his head, "Tell me everything. I want to understand how you can be with him."
Remembering what Will said Alex sighed loudly, "I saw him at a bar the first night I got in town. He was sitting there all alone and the lights were glinting off his hair and I don't know. I just knew I had to go over there before someone else did."
"And then what," Joey asked curiously.
"He told me he was working up the courage to dance," Alex said softly, remembering that night. "So I made him dance with me. And I took him to my hotel."
Holding in his snort this time Vic urged Alex to continue, "And?"
"And one night wasn't enough for me OK," Alex rolled his eyes. "I couldn't let him go. I spent the next few months getting to know him and the kid and then I found out about the Sonny thing."
"Wait, you found out first," Vic blurted out having assumed it was Will.
"I called looking for Dad and got stuck on the phone with Adrienne," Alex continued, "She said something about Will and Ari and I figured it out. I didn't want to lose him so we talked about it."
"And you decided that you didn't care at all what he did to your baby brother," Vic asked bluntly still disbelieving.
"You know what," Alex told Vic directly, "I know every single thing about Will Horton. Everything. From the minute he was born to what he's doing right this second. I know every thought he's ever had, every insecurity. I know every fucking detail about his marriage. So yeah I decided I didn't care about what happened with Sonny and Will because Will is with me now." Taking a large gulp of his water Alex added, "And if Sonny was so damn hurt by what happened he wouldn't have jumped into a relationship with the guy Will cheated on him with. So really I don't think he has any say in my relationship."
"You really like him," Vic asked meekly.
"I bought a house with him," Alex replied, "I help his daughter with her homework. I am in love with him. I don't hold what he did in the past against him just like he doesn't hold how our family treated him against me."
"OK," Vic nodded. "OK."
"Good," Alex smirked across the table, "Now why the hell did you come to see me in the first place?"
Joey laughed, rubbing his eyes, "You aren't going to believe this actually."
"What is it," Alex asked quickly, already getting a bad feeling.
"Mom and Dad are getting divorced," Vic announced, "Because Mom is engaged to someone else."
"What the hell are you talking about," Alex demanded, "I thought they were just separated?"
"Well what do you think happens during separations," Joey rolled his eyes. "Anyway that's not the part you aren't going to believe." Giving Alex a pained smiled Joey explained, "Mom is marrying Lucas Horton. Will's Dad."
Will unlocked the door to the house, laptop bag over his shoulder, holding onto a reusable coffee cup. "Hello," he called as he walked inside, a little alarmed he didn't hear Ari playing.
"Hey," Alex responded from the couch where he was slumped in the corner out of sight.
"Oh, hey," Will smiled brightly, putting all his things down on their dining room table. "I didn't see you there." Sitting on the couch Will kissed his cheek warmly. "Where's Ari?"
"She's playing in the backyard with my brothers," Alex told him blankly.
Frowning Will put his hand on Alex's neck, "What's wrong? What happened today?"
Lowering his head into Will's lap, finding it soothing when Will would run his fingers through his hair, Alex confessed, "I got my brothers to understand about us. They both promised to be on their best behavior and give you a chance." Alex closed his eyes, "They really love Ari."
"Well of course they do," Will smiled, fingers combing Alex's light brown hair, "But that's not what upset you, is it?"
"No," Alex clutched onto Will's thigh, "They came here to see me because they had some news they thought I wouldn't take very well."
"Well they must have been right," Will commented lightly, "What was it?"
"Actually," Alex laughed sadly, "I'm not upset for me. I'm upset for you. I don't know how you're going to respond."
"Me," Will's eyebrows scrunched together, "What news would they tell you in person that would affect me?" 'Unless it's about Sonny…'
"It's your dad," Alex rushed out, sitting up and looking at Will's open, trusting face, "And my mom."
"Oh," Will whispered pondering what his boyfriend could mean. "Oh, oh. Oh my god."
"Yeah," Alex gave Will a half smile, "How do you feel about having some step-brothers?"
Vic, Joey and Alex watched Will from the window inside the house. The early morning light was cascading through the trees and reflecting off Will's hair. His eyes were closed and his skin dripping in sweat. Lifting his hands above his head and stretching Will focused on his relaxation.
"He does that every morning," Joey asked holding a mug of coffee in his hand.
"Yeah," Alex sighed. He didn't want to admit to his brothers that he was worried about Will. He had put on a brave face the evening before interacting with Vic and Joey easily enough but Alex hadn't had a chance to really talk about what was happening. About the potential of seeing Sonny again. "Usually I try to fuck him after but since you're here I better not."
Vic wrinkled his nose. His eyes were drawn to the beads of sweat slipping down into Will's tank top. Vic still wasn't certain what to make of Will. He recalled the private conversation they had the night before.
"And this is the bathroom," Will told Vic with a shy smile. "We redid that first when we bought the house."
"Thanks for showing me," Vic answered grudgingly. He stood outside the bathroom on the second floor awkwardly. He had no idea what to say to Will or how to talk to him. How was he supposed to interact with the boy his father and uncle hated?
"You're welcome," Will shrugged. Licking his lips Will cleared his throat, "OK, I know you don't like me and that's fine. I can live with that but Alex won't. You and I both know how he is. So for his sake we need to find some way to get along."
"Will," Vic tried to say feeling something unpleasant building in his stomach.
"No," Will stood up straight and looked into Vic's eyes. "I don't need you to be my friend. Hell, I don't even need you to be my step-brother. What I do need is for you to make an effort. I love Alex and we aren't breaking up. So you need to decide what you want to do."
Vic stood and watched Will's back as he walked down the hall, grabbing a laundry basket out of Ari's room before heading to the stairs.
Seeing Will stand up from his yoga mat and rolling his shoulders Vic turned away from the window.
"Hey," Will said slightly breathless as he walked in and noticed Joey and Vic. "When did you get here?"
"Just a few minutes ago," Joey answered brightly. "We're drinking all your coffee."
Will smiled, "That's OK. I'm gonna jump in the shower real quick." Walking over to Alex and kissing him lightly Will trailed his fingers down his arm as he headed for the stairs.
Alex, eyes following Will, startled when Joey slapped him harshly on the back.
"I saw that," Joey teased. "You can go one day without a morning quickie."
"Trust me," Alex leered, "They're never quick."
"So," Vic couldn't help to ask as they all sat down around the table waiting for Will. "Where's Ari?"
"She's at her grandma's," Alex said easily. "She spends every Friday night there. Saturday's we get the kid and Will's siblings. Sunday we take them back and have dinner together."
"Wait, you spend your Saturday's with kids," Joey snorted while shaking his head. "And you willingly spend time with his mom?"
Alex shrugged, "It's not so bad. They all pass out by 10 and I spend the rest of the night with Will. Besides Sami's cool."
Vic stared at his older brother with a strange look on his face. He never could have Alex spending time with kids or settling down with someone or having family time. Hearing Will walk back down the stairs Vic kept his eyes focused on Alex's face observing how his eyes brightened when he caught sight of Will.
"Hey," Alex smiled at Will reaching his hand out for him and pulling him into his lap.
Laughing Will adjusted on Alex until he was facing Joey and Vic. Will smiled at Joey; he liked how funny and honest he was. 'Joey reminds me of Alex.' Catching Vic's shrewd glance Will contemplated moving to a chair. 'No, I'm not changing to make anyone else happy.' Will knew Vic didn't approve of him. 'If Joey reminds me of Alex than Vic reminds me of Sonny,' Will thought wistfully.
"So, what's there to eat around here," Joey asked loudly while rubbing his stomach. "I'm starving."
"I could make something," Will offered, sliding off of Alex's lap. "Do you like pancakes or waffles better?"
"Pancakes," Alex, Vic and Joey answered at the same time.
'Must be a Kiriakis thing,' Will mused as he started pulling out everything he needed.
"I thought," Vic said while seeing Will measuring out flour and sugar, "Um, I heard that you didn't know how to cook."
Pausing, realizing who must have told him that, Will answered, keeping his voice even, "I learned."
Alex, glaring at Vic, added, "Will is a great cook. He also has a steady job and we went to a hockey game last week and he didn't fuck any of the players."
"That's only because none of the Kings players are good looking," Will joked trying to lighten the mood.
Joey, kicking his twins shin, smiled slightly, "Well um now that we're talking about the elephant in the room I think we should discuss what you're going to do."
"About what," Alex questioned while crossing his arms.
"The fact that our mom is marrying Will's Dad," Vic told him plainly.
"Your mom is marrying Will's Dad," Alex said decisively, lips curling, "Not mine."
"Alex," Vic started to argue.
"No," Alex shook his head. "She's not my mother and that's that."
"She raised you," Vic pointed out.
"She raised you," Alex shot back, "She tolerated me."
"Well," Joey smiled painfully, "I guess if that's how you feel we can't change that. But, um, there's still something else."
"Sonny," Alex snarled. Alex had always had problems with his youngest brother. The biggest reason was the fact that Sonny was the only child that was biologically Adrienne and Justin's. And because of that Alex noticed he was treated the best. 'Vic and Joey either never noticed or never cared.' Alex couldn't deny that there was a small part of him that got pleasure out of being with Sonny's ex-husband. That he had a life with Will and Ari and Sonny didn't.
"Yeah, your brother," Vic gave Alex a pointed look.
"I know who he is," Alex shook his head, "What about him?"
"Don't you think you should tell him," Joey offered slowly. "I mean, this is definitely something he should hear from you first."
"He doesn't need to know anything," Alex argued. "It's none of his business."
"You don't think he would want to know that you live with his ex," Vic demanded feeling himself get angry on Sonny's behalf.
"I'm standing right here," Will said loudly while flipping a pancake on the griddle. "I think as the ex you're talking about I should have a say too."
"We don't need your opinion," Vic responded quickly, "We know you don't want to tell him."
Getting out a plate and the syrup out of the cupboard Will put the large pancake on the plate and grabbed some silverware. Placing the plate in front of Vic Will looked in his eyes, "For your information I think we should tell Sonny."
"You do," Alex asked quickly pouting a bit that Vic got food before he did. "Will-"
"I just think that it would be the decent thing to do," Will looked over at Alex from his spot at the stove. "Now that this is all happening we should tell everyone. It's not like we have anything to hide."
Alex looked at Will sharply. He couldn't tell what Will was thinking. Usually Alex could look into Will's eyes and read him easily. But not about this.
"Well I think it's a good idea," Joey said helpfully wanting to reach over and steal Vic's plate.
"If this is the right thing to do," Alex asked suddenly, "Why the fuck hasn't anyone told Will?"
"What do you mean," Vic wondered taking a bite of his pancake. 'Holy crap it's actually good.'
"Adrienne is marrying Will's Dad and no one cared about how Will would feel about that," Alex tossed his head back, "I bet you've even met him, right?" Seeing the twins both nod Alex growled, "So that means that Sonny knows. That Sonny has known for a long time. So why didn't anyone tell Will?"
Will, placing another plate in front of Joey, said, "Alex-"
"Why does Will have to be the one to care about everyone else's feelings, huh? When no one in that stupid fucking town gives a shit about him," Alex roared, face getting red.
"Hey," Will sat back down in Alex's lap, grabbed his face between both his hands and forced him to look at him. "I don't care about any of that." Rubbing Alex's cheeks Will continued, "I accepted that I wasn't important to anyone there, not anymore. I never expected anyone to tell me anything ever again."
"You never wanted to be involved with anything to do with Salem again," Alex whispered, "You told me you left and you were never going back. I remember what you were like when we first met. I don't want to ever see you like that again."
"And I'm not," Will insisted, "You know I'm not. And I haven't even spoken to my dad since before I left. I don't plan on going to Salem. I doubt I'd get a wedding invitation anyway. Adrienne's hated me since the moment Sonny formed an interest."
"I don't know how she could," Alex shook his head staring at Will's face.
"You didn't know me in Salem," Will smiled sadly. "I was awful. Every horrible thing she ever told me was true."
Alex couldn't believe that, he wouldn't, "If you were awful they made you that way."
Will shook his head, "No one ever forced me to do the things I did. Sleeping with Paul, trying to blackmail Tori, lying about Gabi being pregnant, stealing city plans, shooting someone, those were all me. I made my choices. And now I'm here."
"Here is good," Alex bucked his hips slightly making Will laugh.
Vic watched Alex and Will with wide eyes. All the things he was hearing and seeing were confusing him. Nothing he had seen or heard from Will correlated with what he'd been told. Watching the careful yet firm way Alex was holding Will Vic was beginning to realize their relationship might not be an act.
Joey, barefoot, legs crossed under him, looked between Will and Alex on the couch, "So, who's going to do it?"
Alex cleared his throat, "I'm his brother. I should tell him." 'I'm going to enjoy telling him.' After seeing the way Will looked talking about Salem and his old life Alex knew there was no way in hell he was letting Will do this.
"Are you sure," Will confirmed, adjusting in Alex's arms so he could see his face. "I can handle him screaming at me."
"That's exactly why you aren't doing this," Alex argued. "I'm not letting anyone ever hurt you or talk to you like that again, especially Sonny."
Will closed his eyes and relaxed against Alex's arms. His cheeks warmed slightly when he felt Alex's large hand clamp against his ass.
Vic, silent from the moment he saw Will and Alex at breakfast, licked his lips, "Will, I think that you should let Alex handle this." Noting the look on Alex's face Vic shook his head, "You don't, you don't deserve anyone yelling at you for moving on and being happy. I don't want you to get hurt."
Shocked by his twin's reaction, Joey chuckled, "Wow, that's some turn around, bro." Slapping him on the back Joey praised, "I'm proud of you. It's pretty damn clear Will and Alex are a sure thing. I'm glad you're done being a dick."
"Thanks," Will smiled shyly at Vic, "That means a lot."
Nodding at Vic meaningfully Alex grabbed his phone off the coffee table, "Alright. Here it goes."
Sonny looked at his phone in shock. Stepping away from the bar and into his office Sonny answered, "Hello?"
"It's me," Alex said gruffly.
Rolling his eyes at his big brother Sonny said, "Yeah, I know." Sitting in his desk chair Sonny asked, "You never call that often so this must be important."
"I guess it is," Alex replied lowly. His left hand was methodically rubbing Will's ass while he looked between his brothers. "I have something to tell you."
"Oh," Sonny questioned sitting up straighter, "Wait is this about Mom getting married? Because I know you two have always had a rough relationship but I promise Lucas is a decent guy."
"No," Alex interjected, "It's not that." Sighing loudly and putting his forehead on the top of Will's head, Alex conceded, "OK it's kind of connected."
"Then what is it," Sonny asked, "Because I don't really know what would be so-"
"God, just shut up," Alex rolled his eyes, "This is why I don't talk to you." Exhaling loudly, "OK, look, I've been seeing someone and you should probably know about it."
"Why would I need to know about that," Sonny asked beginning to get annoyed with Alex. "I don't need to hear about whatever girl you're sleeping with this month."
"It's not a girl," Alex told him staying silent, hoping Sonny would put it together. "And we've been together for months."
"Not a girl," Sonny looked around his office in confusion. "But who would I need to know about that's connected to Mom getting married," Sonny looked out the window and caught sight of Aiden Jennings walking by. "Alex."
"I didn't know who he was at first," Alex explained calmly, "Then I found out."
"Alex," Sonny repeated staring blankly out the window.
"I'm not apologizing," Alex told him firmly.
"Tell me his name," Sonny asked listlessly. "Just tell me it's not. Alex, please."
Before Alex could respond the front door burst open and four excited children of all ages ran through laughing and screaming.
Sonny held his breath when he overheard the yelling.
"Daddy," Ari jogged to Will quickly. Bouncing on the couch, crushing her father, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!"
"Hey, baby girl," Will responded, sitting up and pulling her into his arms.
With Will tickling and kissing Ari Alex said calmly, "I have to go Sonny."
"Alex wait," Sonny begged.
"Will," Johnny screamed from the kitchen. "I can't find the popcorn!"
"Will, I want to go swimming," Allie whined with her face pressed against the backdoor.
"Will," Sydney stomped her feet. "I want to play dress up. Come on, Ari, hurry."
"Bye Sonny," Alex called loudly into the phone before disconnecting the call.
Sonny dropped his phone to the floor, face pale, 'Oh my god.'
Author's note:
I apologize for how long it took to update this. I actually had written two different versions of this and tossed them. I had everything all planned out but when Justin came back on the show he ruined all of my plot and I had to start over.
Please review. I'm curious to know what everyone thought.
