Will held Ari's hand tightly while walking through the Horton town square.
'Grandma Sami is waiting for us. We should get going,' Will said lovingly to his beautiful little angel who was demanding some ice cream from her dad.
'How could daddy forget?!' Will uttered taking Ari into his hands. 'Come here.'
Will bought Ari some chocolate flavored ice cream and a cup of coffee for himself.
'Sit here.' Will put her on the chair next to him.
'Carefully, little one!' Will laughed.
Ari was a messy kid. When it came to eating, Ari's food was always on her face. She was only learning how to eat properly so Will just laughed at her.
'Is it good?' Will laughed.
'Yusss!' Ari smiled sheepishly.
Will just couldn't stop admiring that little girl. She made him happy on the darkest days.
Ari was laying on Will's shoulder sleepily. Her little body was propped against Will comfortably.
'You are the cutest girl in the world.' He said standing up from his chair.
Ari couldn't answer because she was already sleeping in the embrace of her dad.
Will only noticed that after a while.
He kissed Ari's head softly and took out his phone to text his mother. 'On my way.'
The message was quickly sent so he put his phone back to the pocket and raised his head to look at the way.
There was the shadow of his past standing in front of him white as a sheet.
'Sonny?' Will uttered in astonishment.
Sonny looked baffled.
They stood there looking into each other silently. No movement, no sound, just eyes lost into one another.
The atmosphere changed instantly when Ari stirred a bit.
'Daddy,' she mumbled softly.
'It's okay, sweetheart,' Will uttered pressing his lips against Ari's little head.
Sonny looked into the two of them as the tears were forming in the corners of his eyes.
'How is she doing?' Sonny muttered softly.
'Growing,' Will smiled a little.
'Will, I'm.. I..'
'It's okay.' Will assured.
'Are you good?' Sonny wondered.
'Yeah, I'm okay.'
'I missed her. So much.'
'You can hold her if you want to.'
'I can?' Sonny's eyes glittered.
'Of course.'
Will put Ari into Sonny's hands carefully to not wake her up. Sonny embraced her lovingly.
'She got so big.' Sonny said fighting the tears.
'Yeah, my little princess,' Will smiled.
'Aww.' Sonny looked at Will and back to Ari who was deeply asleep in his arms.
'Yeah. We should get going. Grandma Sami is waiting for us.'
'Yeah… Sure. Sorry,' Sonny gave the princess back to Will carefully.
'It's nice seeing you again.' Will mumbled.
'Yeah. You too,' Sonny said confused with his own feelings.
'Okay.. I guess.. See you then?'
'Yeah.' Sonny answered and their ways separated.
The other day came by fast, then another.. the whole week passed. Will was concentrated on Ari and his job. Sonny was on his mind as well.
The feel of being in Sonny's arms came back to him. These couple days after seeing him again reminded him of everything they shared. Kisses, making love, traveling together, shopping together, waking up together, being together… There was so much to remember.. The thing is he never forgot anything.
'Oh god, how I've missed him,' he thought to himself.
Ari was in his embrace for a while now. She was about to fall asleep on her father's arms so Will put the little one in her bed and silently closed the door. He loved watching her sleep but he had work to do at the moment.
The writing went good but something seemed unfinished.
Will was startled when the doorbell rang. He wasn't expecting anyone at this hour. He opened the door slightly to see Sonny standing in front of him with a little bag in his hand.
'Hey,' Sonny broke the silence.
'Hi,' Will replied in surprise.
They looked at each other's eyes lovingly as if their memories ran through their eyes at the same moment.
'Listen..Can I come in for a minute?'
'Sure,' Will welcomed Sonny leading him into the apartment.
'This is for AG. Is she here?' Sonny gave the little bag to Will and hid his hands in the pockets of his warm coat.
'Yeah.. sleeping.. I just put her down to bed,' Will smiled.
'Well.. I guess I should go then,' Sonny smiled back.
'No!' Will commanded. 'Sit!' He invited him to sit on the chair in front of his. 'Let me at least make you a cup of coffee or something.'
'Yeah.. sounds good,' Sonny smiled again taking a seat. ' So you're still writing?'
'Yeah. It's my job now. Who could have thought?' He laughed a little.
'Yeah..'
'So.. How have you been all these years?' Will asked taking two cups out of the cabinet.
'Good.. You know..The same job, same interests, different home, different life..'
'It's easy to notice that,' Will looked through his shoulder.
'And what about you?'
'Well.. I'm the same person I was 5 years ago. Of course some things had changed. I'm more mature and I've got a job which I love, a beautiful daughter who is the brightest little angel in my life, you know.. In my heart I'm still the same person,' he said looking deeply into Sonny's brown eyes.
'You were always like that.'
'Well…maybe,' Will said putting down the mugs on the table and took a seat.
He closed his laptop and took off his glasses.
'So what's his name?'
'Colin.'
'Must be great,' Will smiled.
'Yeah, he is.' Sonny said taking a little sip of his coffee.
Couple of awkward minutes passed. Sonny finished his coffee.
'I'll go then,' Sonny smiled.
They both stood up. Will walked Sonny to the door and took his jacket.
'Here,' Will suggested.
'Thanks,' Sonny took the jacket and started putting it on. Their eyes were locked onto one another.
'Good night,' Will said with such warm eyes.
'Night,' Sonny answered giving Will a warm hug which lasted a little bit too long.
'I'll go,' Sonny said hesitantly.
'Mhmm,' Will bit his lip. He was about to close the door when Sonny turned around and literally took him into his arms and kissed him passionately.
Their clothes disappeared fast. Two naked bodies found themselves lying on the couch making love to each other uncontrollably. Sonny was the one to do all the work while Will was lost in the feeling.
Will sucked on Sonny's shoulder when his body felt the orgasm he hasn't felt in a long time.
Sonny started all over again.
They both were so lost in each other that they couldn't let one another go.
Sonny slid off of Will and collapsed on his body.
They both knew it was wrong but the feeling of warmth and exhaustion took over leaving them both to fall asleep deeply in the embrace of one another.
