Chapter 14

Will lounges against his headboard, a laptop resting securely on his lap as he eyes roam over the picture before him. Will tilts his head a little to the right so he could make better sense of the image. He releases a deep sigh as his shoulders slump downwards. He knows he is probably over thinking the whole thing but he hates feeling like he doesn't know anything.

A hand scratches at a red spot just below his left cheek; a reminder that he needs to reapply the cream before his entire body starts itching. Removing the computer form his lap he places it on the bed as he moves towards the dresser where the green and white tube was waiting. The second he takes the cream in hand other places on his body starts itching. He knows he shouldn't scratch at them, that's what the doctor said, but he can't help it.

It feels so good when his hands rub against the irritated skin. "Oh my god" he exclaims as his fingers really get to work. Will rubs at his chest through the thin t-shirt but soon that's not enough and he need to remove the offensive clothing so he can get to his already red skin. "Oh that's good." his chest cries out in relief as he vigorously rubs against the red spots that mark his skin. One hand works at his chest, while the other does a contortion move to get to the ones on his back. He really should leave the marks alone and apply the cool cream to his skin but Will gives himself just a couple more minutes to indulge.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Will hears the words followed by laughter. He pauses in his ministrations to turn his head towards the door and the unwelcomed intrusion.

"What are you doing?" Will drops his hands from his body as Chad and T walks into his bedroom.

"What are you guys doing here?" His friends have the worst timing. Will quickly grabs for the discarded shirt and slips into it. The cream is still in his hand and his body is still in need of relief. They both flop down on his bed, very comfortable with invading his private space.

"Your mom let us in on her way out." T picks up the computer before Will can stop him.

"No! Don't!" But it's too late. The device is already in T's hands and by the way his eyes are protruding from his head Will figures he did forget to exit the page.

"What is it?" Chad asks as he leans over T to get a look at the computer screen.

Will's entire face is now red. He shuts his eyes tight and prays that this isn't happening. Will is very comfortable sharing a lot of things with his friends but when it comes to sex he is still very shy about it.

"Okay. So this is what it looks like." Chad laughs at his mortified friend then tilts his head just a little to the right to get a better angle. "That guy is really flexible."

"Do you need us to leave so you could…ahhh…finish up?" T is a little thrown by what he is seeing. He quickly closes the lap top and pushes it aside.

Will drops himself on to the desk chair. "I wasn't…I was just." Why do these things happen to him?

"I never want to see that again. That was gross." Chad jabs T in the ribs and the young man recognizes what he just said. "Will, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. I mean it's cool if you want to…you know." T looks to Chad for help but Chad doesn't notice. He really needs to reign in his big mouth. T has no problem with his friend being gay. It's just that seeing two guys having sex is a little too much for him. Two girls he has no problem with; in that case he gets the pleasure of picturing himself joining in.

Chad starts laughing like crazy and breaks the tension that seems to be building. "Will its cool man. We all enjoy a little one on one time every now and then."

"I wasn't…" Will starts laughing too because he figures that's better than dying of embarrassment. His entire sex life seems to be one embarrassing moment after another. He might as well embrace it and laugh along with everyone else. Will doesn't even let T's words bother him; he knows his friend isn't trying to be hurtful. "Serious guys, I wasn't doing anything. I mean I was watching…it…but I wasn't…" he lets out a big sigh "I was just…trying to get some…ideas."

"Ohhh." Chad tries hard to hold back the smirk but it comes out anyway. "Good for you man. So I take it things are progressing with the Kiriakis?"

Will scratches at a spot on his neck. "Sort of." Then he moves to a spot on his right shoulder. This time he really digs in.

"Dude what is wrong with you?" T asks as he watches his friend rub at another spot on his skin.

"I really need to put this cream on." The itching starts to get so bad that Will doesn't care about his guests. He figured they arrived without warning any way. He pulls his shirt off again and uncaps the green and white tube. "Could one of you do my back?"

Both friends take notice of the red marks on Will's body. "What happened to you?" they ask in unison.

"Just rub it, please." Will holds out the cream like a lifeline. T is closest one to Will so he takes it. "Just rub it over the red spots." He angles himself on the chair so his back his facing T while he applies the cream to his neck and chest. Will already feels the relief the cool cream brings.

When it's all done and the tube is abandoned to the top of his desk two pairs of eyes lock unto their friend as he sighs with relief. "That feels so much better."

"What did you do, role around in poison ivy?" Chad asks as he prepares for what he hopes will be a very entertaining story.

"No. I went on a date with Sonny."

"That was an epic failure." Tyler says as he tries to curtail his laughter.

"Believe me I know." Sonny says as he scratches at the red spots on his left arm. "I felt like crap afterwards. I still feel like crap." He'd been so excited about the date and in his opinion everything was going great until suddenly…it wasn't. It's never fun when your date ends with a trip to the hospital.

"I still can't believe that happened." Tyler slaps his friend on the back. "This relationship is very entertaining for me. I'm buying admissions ticket to the next date."

"Shut up man." Sonny gets up from the table and retrieves the green and white tube on his night stand. He applies the cream to his skin as he returns to his spot. "I'm just glad Will is okay. It could have been a lot worse." He shakes his head as he says the words. Sonny is still trying to wrap his head around what happened.

There he was; hand just an inch away from Will's skin, ready to touch and take everything he'd been denying himself. In that moment his mind was made up as the need was building rapidly. Sonny took a deep breath, pulling as much air into his lungs as he possibly could, because the instant he made contact with that warm body he knew he wouldn't be able to breathe.

"Will." Sonny whispered the name against an ear as one finger grazed the soft hair just below Will's navel. He could hear and feel the sudden intake of breath. "I want you. I want you so fucking bad." Sonny's teeth grazed the edge of Will's ear, then tugged as it made its way down the lobe.

Sonny's finger lowered until it was touching skin; silky, warm skin. One finger wasn't enough so he spreads the entire palm over Will's stomach. He could feel the heart beat; it was pulsing Will's entire body. His hand pressed further into Will's skin as it fought the urge to slide downwards. "Do you want me to touch you?"

Sonny broke the rule. He should have asked first. He should have made sure it was okay with Will. Not that he regretted it. He just wanted to make sure Will was okay with breaking the rules. "Tell me to touch you." Sonny used the tip of his tongue to trail a line from Will's ear to the hollow between his neck and shoulder. Will's pulse vibrated Sonny's tongue and he gently bit into the skin to retain control of himself.

"Hhsss, ouch." Sonny pulled away immediately. He didn't think the bite was that hard but then again his control was dangling by a thread. "Ahhhww. Shit." Will bolted upright and it knocked Sonny off balance. Will started to swat at things Sonny couldn't see.

"Are you okay? What is it?" Then Sonny felt a sharp pain on his arm and he slapped at the spot. Something bit him really hard and when he removed the hand he could see only a tiny black dot against his skin. "What the heck is it?"

Will jumped up from the ground and that's when they really started to be eaten alive. Will wasn't wearing a shirt so they attacked all over his body. For Sonny it was mainly his exposed arms. They danced around the sand swatting at invisible creatures that wanted to devour them. Sonny grabbed Will's arm and they sprinted from the lake towards the parking. By the time they got there Sonny's arms were on fire and those things felt like they were still on him.

Sonny quickly opened the door to the car and they both jumped in. He was so glad he kept the car keys in his pocket. He started to laugh as the biting subsided and he looked over at his companion. "Will?"

"Are you okay?" Will nodded but Sonny wasn't so sure. Even in the dim light he could see that Will wasn't okay. Will was red all over and Sonny swore he could actually see Will's skin swelling. He was breathing hard but that could be from the exertion of running to the car.

Sonny's arms started to feel like they were on fire even though the things were no longer biting him. He looked at Will and the marks all over his body. "Fuck." Sonny jammed the key into the ignition and quickly maneuvered out of the parking lot. "I'm taking you to the hospital."

When they got there Sonny helped Will out of the car. Sonny supported him as they walked in to the emergency room. Thank god it was practically empty so a nurse came over right away. Will provided all his health information before they followed the nurse to a designated room. He looked even worse in the harsh lights of the hospital examination room. Will's chest and neck were even more swollen and red.

"The doctor will be right with you." The nurse states before closing the green curtain and exiting the room.

"Are you okay?" Sonny didn't even realize they were holding hands until Will had to sit on the bed. Even then he didn't let go.

"Yeah. It just feels like my entire body is on fire." Will looked down at his skin. "Oh my gosh. I can't believe it's this bad. What the heck were those things?"

"I have no idea." Sonny felt so bad. The lake was his idea. Why hadn't he just settled for dinner and a movie like every other sane person? Maybe it's because he wanted to seduce Will. Instead Will ends up in the hospital. "I'm sorry about this."

"Yeah, me too. I was really enjoying myself." Will looked at Sonny and smiled. "And yes, I wanted you to touch me." Sonny leaned forward and kissed Will's lips. He did it a second time and felt the glide of Will's tongue against his bottom lip so there had to be a third.

The sound of a throat clearing echoed in the room and the boys pulled apart. The doctor entered as he tried to hide a smile. "Okay, Mr. Horton. Let's see what we are dealing with."

After the examination it was determined that Will was having an allergic reaction to whatever bit them at the lake. It wasn't until the doctor asked if anyone else was affected that Sonny remembered his own arms but his skin wasn't reacting like Will's. Will was given a shot and they were both prescribed the cream to combat the pain and itching.

"After I took Will home I went back to the lake and collected our things." Sonny looks over at Will's shirt which was now laundered, neatly folded and resting on Sonny's bed. "It's just crazy how those things came out of nowhere."

"I know man. I've been on that lake countless times since summer started and I've never encountered anything like that." They both get up from the table and move towards the door. "Just be warmed that I'll be telling this story to Brian. It's way too funny to keep to myself."

"The doctor said it should go away in a few days. I just need to keep using the cream." Will looks up from the marks on his arm to find both his friends battling to keep their laughter in check.

"I think you and Sonny need to stay away from each other." T almost chokes as he tries to get the words out around the laughter.

"Don't listen to T. We still have a couple weeks of summer vacation so the show can't be over yet." Chad adds.

"So that's what my life has become now, a show to keep you entertained?" T and Chad look at each other then nod in agreement.

"So you were watching porn to get some ideas for the next date?" Will gives Chad the evil eye but it's not as affective when you are trying to suppress a grin.

Will knows Sonny has a lot more experience than he does. A part of him is feeling a little insecure about the whole thing; especially after the sand trick. Where did he learn to do that? When Sonny asked him to remove his shirt, but assured Will he would keep his hands to himself, Will was very curious as to what Sonny was going to do. Will removed the shirt, just like Sonny asked, then laid on the blanket waiting for the magic trip.

The first sprinkling of sand was like a shock to his system. As the sand traveled over his body Will tried so hard not to 'over react' to the stimulation. He kept telling himself to just breathe but it was hard not to give in. When Sonny started licking his ear and rubbing a hand just below his navel he knew he was a goner for sure. At that point he didn't care about the rules. Will wanted Sonny to touch him everywhere.

"So when is the next date?" T asks as he makes himself even more comfortable on Will's bed.

"I don't know. He called this morning to apologize for the umpteen time but we didn't set a date to go out again." Will is certainly hoping there is another date. "Probably after we both stop itching from these darn bites."

T shakes his head. "Next time, keep it indoors."

Chad leans forward as he sits on the edge of the bed. Will starts to wonder what words of wisdom his friend is about to impart. "Do you have a condom?"

Will frowns at him. "No, do you think I should buy some?" He frowns at the thought of walking into a store to buying condoms.

"If you're going to be doing the stuff on that video, yeah, you should."

The last time Will walked around with a condom in his pocket was in high school when he was desperately trying to fit in with everyone else. Even then he hadn't bought the condom. If he remembers correctly he got it from…

"No need to go shopping." T pulls a reel of condoms from his pocket then hands them to Will. "Just let me know if you need more."
