Sonny leaned on the counter and watched Will across the room, as he looked at his phone for what must have been the 100th time tonight. Then he went back to playing with his coffee cup with a dejected look on his beautiful face.
"Damn it!" Sonny said under his breath as he glanced at his watch, realizing that it is going to be at least Monday before they hear anything from the judge, since it is 6:15 on a Friday night. Poor Will he thought, this is going to be an excruciating weekend.
There must be something… anything that I can do to help take his mind off of things, even if it is only temporary. Sonny thought to himself as he wracked his brain trying to come up with an idea…
Sonny felt his phone vibrate in his pocket and pulled it out to see who was looking for him. His eyes lit up and he smiled, really smiled for the first time today, as he read the text from Abigail
"Hey Cuz are you and Will coming to the Battle of the Bands at Salem Park tonight?"
Sonny remembered that before all of the recent drama Will had been excited about this and had talked about it for weeks.
"Thanks Ab's you are a genius, meet us in one hour by the swings" he quickly texted back.
Then he slipped into his office and made a call to the Brady Pub placing a special order with Caroline for a picnic basket filled with all of Will's favorites and some extra for Abigail and Chad, then after saying a special thank you, he informed her that Chad would be by to pick it up shortly.
Then he sent one last text to Chad. "Hey man, can you go by the Pub and pick up a picnic basket full of food and meet us at the park for Battle of the Bands with Abigail?"
As his phone buzzed that he had a response… he quickly looked to see that Chad said "On MY Way' and he was just closing out the message box as he felt Will's arms slide around his waist from behind and pull him close.
Will pressed a kiss to his neck and Sonny leaned his head back onto Will's shoulder and looked at him. "Everything ok Babe?" he whispered.
"Yeah." Will said sadly.. "But I looked up and you were gone, I wondered where you ran off to."
"Oh, I just came to put the I pad up and lock up the office because I am about ready to get out of here." Sonny said quietly.
"Ahh, good… let's go… I am ready to go home anyway." Will said with a sad smile.
"Ah, um Babe… I am sorry but I kind of made plans for us…. I hope you don't mind." Sonny said with a gleam in his eye.
Truthfully all Will wanted was to go home with Sonny, where it was quiet and he could mope around in peace without people asking him if he is okay, what is going on, and what are you going to do if….." but who is he to deny Sonny anything, especially when he looks all hopeful and excited like that.
"No, umm that's fine. Where are we going?" he said as he pasted a smile on his face.
"Well first we are going home to change into something more comfortable…. Well me anyway," he said as his eyes took in the magnificent sight of Will in his fitted jeans and that blue Tee shirt that matches the color of his eyes and makes them shine even brighter.
"Then I will tell you what I have in store for you, when we are almost there." He whispered as he leaned forward and brushed his lips against Wills softly. Pulling back he held out a hand to Will, "So, you ready?"
Will slid his hand into Sonny's and they exited the office together as Sonny pulled the door closed behind him.
They quickly walked to the car and then made their way to the apartment.
Will was rummaging through the refrigerator as Sonny threw on his favorite pair of jeans and grabbed one of Wills tee shirts out of the closet..
"I am all set, Let's go" he said as he walked back into the room. "Will you know we haven't been to the store yet and besides I am going to feed you… come on." Sonny said as he held the door open waiting for Will.
Will took Sonny's hand again as they exited the apartment building, Will started toward the car, but Sonny tugged him in the opposite direction. The park was a short walk from their new apartment in EJ's building. Since EJ and Sami had moved into the Dimera Mansion EJ had graciously offered the use of his apartment. Will and Sonny were going to need more room for their expanding family. Raising a baby demanded more room than would be available in a studio apartment, such as the one that Sonny had been living in and certainly more than would be afforded in a dorm room.
Just as they are making their way around the corner towards the park Will noticed that Sonny has a blanket tucked under his arm. A curious look crossed his face as he quietly asked "What's with the blanket?"
"You'll see!" Sonny said as he smiled Will's favorite smile. The one that makes his heart speed up and his breath hitch.
As they made their way to the park entrance Will took in the flurry of activities and turned to Sonny.. his eyes were bright and shining. "Oh My God… Sonny… I completely forgot about this!"
Sonny was instantly glad that Abigail had reminded him and made a mental note to say a special thank you to her later.
He led Will over to to where Abigail was standing ." Come on Abby let's go over under the tree over there" Sonny said
They spread the blanket out and Sonny sat with his back against the tree and pulled Will down between his legs. Will sat down and settled back against Sonny's chest with a contented sigh.
The bands were just beginning to warm up as Chad got there with the picnic basket. He placed the basket on the blanket and flopped down beside Abby, giving her a quick kiss.
Abby reached over and opened the basket, she began to pull out the food containers and bottles of soda and lemonade. She passed out the boxes that were filled with the deli sandwiches and chips and put the desert and extra drinks back in the basket for later.
As they leisurely ate their food and the bands got under way, it wasn't long before a heated debate broke out between Will and Chad about which band was better and why… While Sonny and Abigail just sat back and took in the comical argument, while enjoying the show.
A couple of hours later… Abigail cleaned up the boxes and bottles from their food as Chad and Will continued to argue… She leaned over and to Sonny "I am going to get him out of here… maybe you and Will can enjoy the end of the show!" she laughed.
"Abigail I can't thank you enough for this, for reminding me and also for Chad being here. Look at Will this is more relaxed than I have seen him in days…." Sonny said sincerely
Abigail smiled and squeezed his hand, as she nudged Chad with her foot…. "Come on, Chad let's go!"
Chad got up and pulled Abby up… "Good night guys… Will… man get your hearing checked…. You have no idea what you are talking about!" Chad said as Abigail hauled him off in the direction of the entrance.
Will turned to face Sonny and scooted over closer to him. "You are amazing… do you know that?" he said as he leaned forward and captured Sonny's lips with his own catching him off guard and toppling them over.
Will nibbled on his lips, soothing it over with his tongue, asking for entrance, which Sonny readily gave, opening his mouth to Will's exploration. Will's kiss was slow and languid, exploring every possible inch of Sonny's mouth.
Sonny swallowed a groan and slid his hands from Will's back down over his ass pulling him closer, rubbing himself against Will, trying to find a little relief for the feelings that were building inside him. Will left his lips and continued on a path across to his ear, gliding his tongue around the shell of his ear, sucking on the lobe, moving just below to suck on the sensitive skin there.
Will's hands found their way to Sonny's sides, sliding under the tee shirt and pulling it up as he explored Sonny's chest. Wills hands were gentle one minute, softly gliding over his sides and stomach, then more aggressive as he pushed at the offending material of the tee as he was teasing his nipples.
"Umm Will" Sonny moaned reluctantly….. Wills hands were moving downwards teasing the band of Sonny's jeans… searching for the button…seemingly lost in the moment…."I want you, Sonny… I need this, I need you…" Will breathed against his neck.
Sonny was caught up in the desire… the ache driving out coherent thought for a moment as Will rocked their hips together.
"Chad seriously, you can never keep up with anything," Abigail was saying as they approached the spot where they had just left Sonny and Will…. "How in the world did you lose the keys…." Abby trailed off as she took in the scene before her and cleared her throat.
"Ahem" she said softly , but both boys were too caught up in the moment to even realize they had an audience.
"Come on you guys should get a room!" Chad exclaimed loudly… Causing Will to scramble off of Sonny with a sheepish look.
Sonny sat up… pulling his shirt down… "I thought you guys were gone…" he said awkwardly.. glancing at Will to see if he was alright… relieved to see that he seemed okay except for the faint pink stain on his cheeks.
"Clearly…." Chad said laughing… Abigail slapped him and said "We were but Mr. Classy here… lost his keys… "
Chad looked down and saw them lying there next to the picnic basket… "There they are…. It's probably a good thing I did… a few more minutes and you two would have been going at it in the park…." He laughed... which caused the stain in Will's cheeks to brighten.
"Shut up Chad…. And lets go" Abigail said. "Night guys" she called as she dragged him off again.
Sonny and Will looked at each other and Sonny burst out laughing.
"What do you say….. we take this home?" Sonny asked
"Only if we can pick up where we left off… and ASAP! Will said quietly.
"Deal!" Sonny said as he jumped up and grabbed the basket and the blanket… not even bothering to fold it.
Will grabbed his hand and they hurried off toward home.
