...Now

(I wanted to let you know that if you desperately want to know the source of inspiration for this should you request it via PM, I'll be happy to give you the spoiler)

"What the hell do you mean I have to leave you now?" Will's confusion and nervousness took the better of him, now he was starting to freak out. Brady style. Sonny started to walk away, Will chasing after him, not being able to look at Will, he knew he had to though. Once they exited the pathway, the scenery changed to the lake, the one in which they started this nightmare.

"I mean you have to go back." Sonny said, still waking, still not being able to look at Will. Will walking behind him, talking to him.

"With you!" Will yelled.

"Will, you've been saying it yourself: You're feeling weak. You know why that is?" Sonny began to turn his head, however he was still walking. "Because your body is healing, so it's getting ready to leave this place."

"So what?!" Will asked, getting annoyed at the prospect Sonny was trying to reach. And the fact he wasn't looking at him.

"So I've been feeling stronger, my body's getting stronger." Sonny stated. Will, however, was having none of that.

"It doesn't matter, okay." Will firmly planted and grabbed Sonny's arm, turning him. "I'm staying here with you."

"You can't." Sonny said, sorrow in his eyes, but a stern look to try and pull this off.

"Just stop saying this like that! We're together for a reason! And I'm not gonna leave you." Will cupped Sonny's face, a nervous attempt of a grin in his face as he tried to keep his desperation at bay.

"You don't have a choice. Will, you can't choose not to live. And even if you could, I wouldn't let you!" Sonny lost it for a while. Will was at the edge of tears as he began to slowly walk away, Sonny walking right behind him. He witnessed as Will slowly dropped to his knees and clutched chunks of the wet sand in his hands.

"None of this is real, anyways." Sonny knelt next to him.

"Listen to me," Sonny began. "Gabi's pregnant. She can't lose you right now. I mean, what would that do to her. Hell, what would that do to the baby. Think what that would do to Allie, to Johnny and Sydney. You're their big brother, you are right now what they live for to become." Sonny ended in a soft and soothing voice. Will looked at him with tears already in his eyes. If he were to do this, it would be the hardest thing he'd ever have to do.

"I want to stay with you." Will said, trying to not let his voice break.

"I know." Sonny started to rub circles in Will's back. "And I want that, but you can't."

"I can, okay. I'm just fine, Son." Will was already sobbing. "I'm right here."

"It doesn't matter. I can't have you here with me." Sonny now started to tear up as well. "Wherever this is, I need you to go back."

"Why?!" Will managed to scream from the tears.

"Because it was my fault." Sonny stared into Will's reddened eyes and broke down at the sight of his most loved on in tears. "It was my fault."

Both lovers were clutching at each other, each taking deep breaths of the other's scent to calm their furious tears. Will had his face nuzzled in the crook of Sonny's neck, sobbing almost to the point of his words not being understandable. "But everything is better with you. I can't leave you. You make everything better, and you make everything safe, you make me feel safe for the first time in life. You make me love for the first time in my life, not only you but myself. And I can't live without you, I can't. I can't go back without you! I can't go back to being alone, I can't go back to not having you. I don't want to Sonny."

"You won't have to. You won't." Sonny said, getting a grip, but not losing the intoxicating grasp he had on Will, his nose buried in the delicious scent that is all Will.

"Then come with me. Please, come with me. Why can't you just come back with me?" Will tightened his grip on Sonny, his insides breaking down one by one.

"Will, I can't explain it, but this is what we gotta do. You just gotta trust me." Sonny said, backing off and brushing off the falling streams of tears from Will's flushed face, leaving little pecks in those wet places.

"The promise me." Will's voice was breaking roughly. "Promise me and I'll do whatever you say, okay?"

Sonny nodded, his eyes already starting to water again.

"Promise me that you'll come back to me. Promise me that you'll open your eyes, and that you'll live a long, happy, amazing life." Will couldn't keep on talking, the heartache was too much to bare. "Pr-promise it. Promise m-me." Sonny was cupping and brushing tears from Will's face with one hand, Will slowly breaking down even more, his eyes now close while crying, nuzzling Sonny's warm palm.

"I'm going to live a long, happy, amazing life… with you." Sonny said, with a genuine grin pushed through his own falling tears. "I promise. Til kingdowm come. Now open your eyes."

"I don't wa-want to… not if it means losing you Sonny. Can't."

"You won't, baby, I promise you."

"Til kingdom come. I love you." Will said through the tears. "I love you so much."

"I love you too baby. I love you more than anything. Now open your eyes."

Will opened his eyes to the monotonous color of the tiles above him, the tiles of his hospital room. "Sonny." The silence of the room completely filled with Will's sobs.

Sonny stood in front of the ocean, looking up. Hopefully he'll find the strength he needs in Will's love to go back to his one and only, but until then.

"Til kingdom come."
