Thank you all for reading and reviewing!


Kiriakis Mansion

After kissing his date Will Horton goodnight, Sonny, humming his favorite Drake song, made his way into the mansion and greeted his parents, Justin and Adrienne, and grand-uncle Victor, who were having coffee in the aesthetically decorated huge drawing room.

"Hello, young man! Look at you, all beaming, which is a happy sight!" said Victor, with a gentle smile.

"Thank you, Uncle Vic!" said Sonny, with a slight bow.

Immediately, Adrienne jumped in "Oh, Justin, I forgot to tell you that Sonny went out on his first date today!"

"Yes, dad, am dating Will Horton" said Sonny, shyly.

"Will Horton… oh your tutor? That's great, Sonny! How did it go?" said Justin.

"It was nice!" said Sonny, with a radiant smile and took his leave by bidding the elders goodnight.

"What is that person's name, again?" asked the octogenarian, for reassurance.

"It's Will Horton" said Justin, with great emphasis.

"Oh… Horton" said Victor, nodding his head as if he was conveying a silent message to Justin.

Justin simply responded with a "yes-you-are-right" look, with his trademark dimpled smile.

In the meantime, Adrienne remained clueless.


The next day evening, as Sonny was walking out of his school campus, he received a call from Will.

"Hey, babe! Wassup?" said Sonny.

"Babe, am sorry, we won't be having class today. EJ just assignment me some urgent work, which is gonna suck up a lot of my time today" said Will, sounding a bit sad.

"Oh. Then I will miss you today and tomorrow as well, I guess" said Sonny, with disappointment.

"Tomorrow as well?" said Will.

"Yeah, tomorrow there is a community service for which I have volunteered" said Sonny.

"Oh, that's a good thing. But, babe, I will terribly miss you… Anyway, I will call you tomorrow night. Muah!" said Will.

"Miss you too, babe. Muah!" said Sonny.


As promised, Will rang Sonny's number around 9 at night. But there was no response. He tried again after 10 minutes, but still no response. So, he left a voice message: *Hey babe, is everything ok? I'm a bit concerned. Call me or message me when you are free, any time.*

Sonny had taken his aunt Maggie and mom to the hospital that night. Maggie had injured her finger while cutting fruits for dessert. And, Adrienne, a longtime Haemophobia sufferer, had fainted while seeing the tiny droplets of blood oozing out of Maggie's finger. The Kiriakis men were out of town on a business trip.

In the meantime, Sonny had forgotten that he was supposed to receive a call from Will. Only by midnight did he realize that his phone was on silent and non-vibratory mode and checked for any new calls or messages.

"Oh shit! Will had called twice. Am such an idiot! Wait, there is a voice message from him" said Sonny, to himself.

After hearing Will's message, Sonny, not wanting to disturb a probably sleeping Will, texted him about what happened and apologized for his absentmindedness.

Immediately, within a few seconds, Will called him.

"Hey, babe! Weren't you sleeping?" said Sonny.

"I tried but couldn't. I was worried about you… Am sorry about your aunt and mom" said Will.

"Oh they are fine now. Will, am really sorry…" said Sonny.

"Hey, don't be. It could have happened to me as well had I been in your situation. It's absolutely fine. And, please stop worrying" said Will.

"Thank you for being so understanding, Will... By the way, you sound more sexy over phone. You know that?" said Sonny, himself sounding sexy.

"mmhm… am glad you like that… Can't wait to see you tomorrow evening…" said Will in a low husky voice, tracing his fingers on his bedspread.

"Oh gosh! Me too, Will" said Sonny, sighing heavily.

Though both were reluctant to end the call, they had to because Sonny had his basketball practice session the next day morning at 7.


DiMera Mansion

"Wow! Chad, there isn't a single scar on your face. Am happy that you are back to your ugly self!" mocked Sonny.

"Ugly… really? Well, why wouldn't you say that 'cos you are dating Will Horton, the 'gay diva' of Salem U. Oops! Sorry for the sexist remark" said Chad, standing in front of the dressing mirror and adjusting his hair.

"Hey, watch your mouth, Chad boy! Don't exhibit your frat-boy behavior in class. Will doesn't like a bit of it" warned Sonny.


"Hi Sonny! Hi Chad, how do you do? Good to see you back in class!" said Will.

"Howdy, Will? I too am glad to be back. Are we gonna start Algebra today? I just can't wait for the class to begin!" said Chad, with sarcasm at its peak.

"Good! Um, I think I need to conduct a separate class for you someday next week so that we can wind up the remaining portions of Calculus. Just let me know the date, ok?" said Will, looking at Chad.

"Oh sure, Will" said Chad, with a forced smile.


After the class, Sonny went straight into the mansion's parking lot and eagerly waited for Will.

In a few seconds, Will appeared and stood in the opposite direction, loving smiling at Sonny.

Sonny mimicked Will's action on the day of their first date by spreading his long arms forward with a 1000-watt smile.

Will ran into Sonny's arms and immediately slammed him on the back of his car and gave him a forceful yet passionate French kiss.

"Hey babe, wassup!" said Will, breathing heavily.

Before Sonny could respond, a sound of two people talking was heard.

"Come on, let's get in" said Sonny, pulling Will into the backseat of the car.

Sonny, lying on top of Will, started kissing him again.

"Aaaouch!" screamed Will.

"Will, what happened!?" asked Sonny, getting up with great difficulty.

Apparently, Sonny's strong leg had accidentally hit Will in the groin.

"Ouch! It hurts!" said Will, with a contorted face.

"Oh my god! Am so so sorry, Will. Just let me see…" said Sonny, in a panic mode, unaware of what he just uttered.

"Wha-What!?" said Will, holding onto his most sensitive body part, giving Sonny a bewildered look.

"I just… oh no!" said Sonny, with eyes wide open like saucers.

Remaining in the same position, both stared at each other for a few seconds and burst out laughing.
