The days turned to weeks before Will became anxious for what he waited to happen to Nick. As much as he hated him, he knew that somewhere deep down inside that bigoted idiotic heart of his, he had a soft side to him. When both Will and Nick were younger, they used to do almost everything together. It was guaranteed that they were not always close, but growing up together, they sought out the best in each other. They used to cover for each other, when either one of them did something wrong or mischievous. Will smiled at the thought.
There was a time when Nick had done something that he should not have done, and Will was gladly to take the blame for it. However, that blame seemed to haunt him for a while, ever since his mom found out when he soon became too much for her to handle. And also because she couldn't take care of him the way she was supposed to, it was hard on her to have to take Will to Switzerland. It took her longer than just a while for her to realize that she needed Will.
Will's mind wandered far and out before he realized where he was going. He walked into the direction of the coffeehouse to see Sonny. Just before he entered the Square, Will saw Nick literally hitting his head with his fists and balling them into his hair.
"Nick, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Nick said too quickly.
"Are you sure?" Will knew that if he gave Nick the benefit of the doubt, he knew that he had to pretend to make nice with him just to think he won. Will couldn't wait for Nick to finally fall flat on his face, because he will never know what is coming to him.
"Just leave me alone." Nick wasn't sure why Will was making nice with him. But at least it gave him a reason to back off on his accusations on Sami and his recent fight with Sonny.
Looking at Nick, there was something that almost made Will feel sorry for him. Will wore his heart on his sleeve, and it is one of the reasons why Sonny loves him so much. Will is the most kind hearted person in the world. The best thing about being himself, is that he puts his family first. But right now, it's about him and getting his family together: Sonny and his baby girl. He would do anything for Sonny, he would even put his happiness before his own, and he knew that Sonny would do the same thing for him.
Will just shrugged at Nick and left him sitting on the bench staring off into space, or wherever his mind was going to. Nick's mind kept going back to the thought of Kate almost nearly having Gabi to sign almost half of her rights from her baby. He wasn't going to let her get away with it. And he sure is definitely not letting any of the Horton family in the way of getting anywhere near their baby and Gabi as well. He just needed to somehow find out what he needed to do. But a lock image of Vargas standing in front of him, took him away from those thoughts. And in his head he could hear his own screams not just from the day in jail, but he could hear his head screaming from all the things that have started to unravel from both his Gabi's past right in front of their faces.
Will stepped his way to Common Grounds and before he could go inside, someone from behind grabbed his arm gently. Will turned around and saw Sonny.
"Hey. I thought you were working today?" Will was surprised at the sudden look that Sonny had in his eyes. The look he had was different from the other times he would see him. He somehow looked scared and worried.
"I am. I just had to care of something." Sonny was hoping that Will wouldn't demand too much of him. But he knew eventually that it was going to come out, and he knew that Will was going to find out somehow.
"Like what. Be specific."
"Okay. I'll be specific. I went to see EJ."
"Why would do that?" Will wasn't angry as much as he was worried when Sonny said that.
"I want to help Will. And I really care about you."
"I know you do. But what if you get hurt?"
"I won't. Come on Will, if something were to happen to me, am I going to ask you to stand there and watch? I don't want to just stand and do nothing."
"But what if you're parents find out?"
"Okay." Will finally said as Sonny went closer to Will to close off the gap between them. Giving each other what they needed the most. Will held him close and tight in his arms after the strong firm hold that he had on Sonny's lips. The love grew brighter and stronger in their eyes and in the tight hold they had on each other. Neither of them has ever loved anyone like this before with so much passion and so much intimacy. And they knew that they were never going to stop. Not for one minute, not even for one second.
