Chapter 29

A few days later…

Sonny and Will had spent countless hours together over the last few days. They woke up together, ate together and fell asleep together every night. The days Sonny couldn't get out of work were the hardest ones. Sometimes Will would come into the coffee house with him, sit in a lounge chair for hours, either reading or watching Sonny. He knew that he was starting to fall behind in his classes and he didn't want to drop any of them. Finals were coming up soon but because of recent events, he wasn't motivated to study. Sometimes he didn't even feel like leaving his room. He knew it wasn't healthy to feel that way and he knew that Sonny was there for him and had gone through the same thing. So he had done a little research and was trying to work up the nerve to mention what he found to Sonny.

Will noticed the line that had been long for the past 20 minutes start to dwindle down and he hoped that Sonny would come over to see him. Now was a better time than never to ask him. Will took a deep breath as he saw Sonny throw his rag behind the counter and come around to the other side of the counter before making his way closer to him.

Will feels Sonny kiss him on the cheek before he sits down in the chair across from him.

"How're you doing? Need a refill?" Will shakes his head.

"No. I'm fine. I probably shouldn't drink too much coffee. It makes me jumpy and right now I'm already jumpy enough."

"Sorry, baby."

"Not your fault…but can I ask you something?" Will says nervously, twiddling his thumbs in front of him.

"Of course. Anything."

"Okay, well…I've been doing some research."

"About what?" Sonny asks, genuinely interested in finding out what Will is getting into.

"I've been looking into therapy sessions; couples therapy sessions to be exact. But that's a little weird, I know, so just…just forget I said anything." Will said, moving to pack his books up.

"Will, that's not weird, not at all. That's…that is actually a really good idea. Ever since the…doctor's visit, I thought therapy sessions might help, but I wasn't…wasn't aware that you'd want to do them with me." Sonny says. He truly had thought about counseling sessions. He didn't know from personal experience of their successes, but reading things online seemed to make them seem very helpful over time.

"Well, I just don't really feel comfortable on my own with a shrink, unless it's my grandma Marlena, but…"

"But you would rather not have to talk to her about this…?" Sonny questioned, pretty much knowing what he was going to say before actually saying it aloud.

"No."

"That's okay. We can go see whomever you want. Someone who doesn't know you."

"I don't want this to just be about me, though…you said that we'd face this together…that we'd try forgetting together, so I want this to be about both of us, alright? Both of us?" Will asked him.

"Um, okay. It that's…if that's what you want. I'll try, for you."

"Thank you. We don't have to do it soon or anything, just…I just wanted to see if it was something you'd be willing to do with me."

"We can do it whenever. I think sooner might be better though, don't you think?" Will bit his lip, considering what Sonny just said.

"Maybe? I don't know…I'm scared, Sonny."

"To be honest, so am I. I think we'll be scared for the rest of our lives if we don't try this though. I've been scared for long enough…and it feels like it's been years. I don't want you to turn out like me. Not scared months later and terrified that it'll happen again. I just want to help you avoid what I allowed to happen after everything as best I can."

"OK. I'll find someone soon then."

"Good. I'm so proud of you. I hope you know that…" Will nodded once and Sonny stood up to kiss Will's cheek.

"I love you" Will whispered before Sonny pulled away from him.

"I love you, too." Sonny whispered against Will's temple. "You gonna stay 'til the end of my shift or are you going to go back to the dorms?"

"I'm kind of tired…but I'm…yeah, I'll go home." Sonny nodded even though he could sense Will had something else he wanted to say. Will got ready to leave and went to say goodbye to Sonny, who had made his way back to the counter to help a customer that arrived. Will waved as Sonny looked over at him and then headed for the door.

"Will, hey." Sonny said, catching up to him just outside of the coffee house. "You call me if you need anything, okay? Anything."

"Um, okay. You're…Sorry, I just didn't want to bother you. Thought you were busy with a customer."

"It's alright, but I just wanted to see you off…" Sonny said, blushing slightly for one of the first times in Will's presence. Will smiled shyly at him.

"Do you…will you come over when you're off work?" Will asked.

"If you want me to."

"Yes, please." Will said, immediately blushing at the frantic words that spilled from his mouth.

"Then I'll be there. Probably around 8 pm or so."

"Okay, I'll see you then." Will said moving forward to kiss Sonny's lips quickly before he's pulling away turning away and walking toward his dorm, which is only 5 minutes away.


It's been hours and Will hasn't heard from Sonny since he left the coffee house. Not a call, or so much as a text. Will just figured the place was too busy, but there in the back of his mind the fear started to claw through the barriers that he thought had been fortified. He fell asleep because of exhaustion even though he tried his damndest to stay awake.

He startled awake when he heard a series of knocks at his door. His heart was pounding from the sudden noise and from being awake after being asleep for who knows how long.

Will looked over at the clock next to his bed and saw that it was 12:42 am. He groaned, still not fully awake and not noticing or realizing that before he had slept he had been worried about Sonny not calling. He stood up and all but stumbled to the door, reaching for the doorknob before stopping. He didn't know who it was and he didn't think opening the door was the best idea.

"Wh-who is it?" Will said shakily and quietly from behind the door.

"It's Sonny, Will. It's just me."

Will sighed as Sonny's angelic voice floated into his ears and through his mind. He let another second pass before he turned the knob and flung the door open. There he was: Sonny, standing in front of Will. His clothes, he noticed, were slightly rumpled and he had changed since he last saw him. His hair was slightly damp, curled at the edges. He was also holding a bag of something in his hand. To Will it looked like food, but he didn't think he'd be able to eat any of it if that's what it turned out to be.

"Sonny." Will sighed. He now remembered how worried he felt before he fell asleep, but had felt too out of it to try calling Sonny himself. Will held out his arm and stepped back to allow Sonny to come inside.

When he did, he set the bag on the dresser in the room, and turned around and opened his arms. Will folded himself into them immediately.

"I was so worried." Will whispered against Sonny's collarbone. "But I was so tired…and then I fell asleep."

"I'm sorry. I should've called, but I ran into my mom and she asked me to eat dinner at the mansion. I haven't seen her in forever so she wouldn't take no one when it comes to phones at the dinner table."

"Oh. It's – it's okay."

"It's not, though. I should've made her let me call you, or at least just text you to tell you what was going on."

"I understand though. I've been…taking up most, if not all of your time recently. So I see why she wanted to spend time with you."

"I should've called when I left, but I wasn't sure if you would be asleep or not. I texted you saying I was going home but I took a shower and didn't really want to be alone, so I came over." Sonny pulled away form the hug. He brought his hands up to Will's face, brushing his thumbs over the small purple circles underneath Will's eyes. "I should've stayed at my place. I woke you up, and I can see how tired you are."

"Then come back to bed with me…" Will whispered. Sonny nodded at him, letting his hands drop to his sides, and allowing Will to take one of his hands and lead him back to his warm bed.

"Wait, I brought you something." Sonny said, letting go of Will's hand to go pick up the bag that he set down when he first came in.

Will sat down on his bed, wanting to lie down, but waiting patiently until Sonny could, and would lay down with him. Sonny sat next to him and set the bag in Will's lap.

"Open it." Will opened the bag and lifted out the container that was inside.

"I know it's not like a real gift or anything, but I asked our cooks at the mansion to make these while we were eating so I could bring them to you afterward." Will opened his mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say. There were heart cookies with pink and red icing, white icing writing that says, "I love you" across each one.

"You don't have to eat them if you don't want. We can just toss 'em." Sonny said once Will hadn't said anything.

"No. They're…they're perfect. Seriously. Can I…" Will started saying.

"You can have some if you want, now. Unless you want to sleep."

"Cookies, then sleep." Will said, opening the container and slowly taking a bite of one of the cookies. He moaned in delight. He ate 3 as Sonny watched. The next one Sonny bit half of it off and then blushed as he noticed Sonny looking at him eating. He held the rest of the cookie out for Sonny to eat. Sonny reached forward to take the half of the cookie from between Will's fingers.

"These are so good. Thank you, Sonny."

"My pleasure, Will." He said, leaning forward to pull Will into a soft kiss. Will slid his tongue across Sonny's bottom lip and pulled Sonny with him as he moved to lie down on his back, head near the pillows but not quite on them. Sonny's body covered Will's easily even though Will was a tiny bit taller. Will's hands slid over Sonny's hips to slide up his back and his legs spread open so Sony's body could fit between his legs. As he lowered so their bodies were flush together, their semi-hardened shafts pressed together, Will pulled away to breathe.

"Fuck, Sonny."

"What? Are you okay?" Sonny said out of breath, worried that he hurt Will somehow without realizing it.

"I'm…better than okay. That…feels…mm." Will says, and then pushes his hips into Sonny's so their groins press together again. "…Feels good. Never felt like this before."

"Really? You like this?" Sonny huffed, grinding harder into Will. Will's head fell back against the comforter and Sonny quickly attached his lips to Will's elongated neck. Sonny felt like he was floating, especially when Will bent his knees, brining his feet to flatten on the bed. Instantly, Will slid a leg around the back of Sonny's thigh and cried out as Sonny bit down on his neck gently, lovingly.

"Will, can we…" Will nodded quickly, not even letting Sonny finishing speaking. He moved his hands to try lifting Sonny's shirt, but Sonny stopped him, pinning both hands above his head.

"What? Sonny?" Will whispered fearfully. Sonny slid his fingers between Will's so there hands were interlocked, lovingly holding hands as Sonny spoke next, wanting to soothe Will. He had heard the fear in his voice and wanted to pull away, to give Will (and himself) space to calm down and not let things go too far, but he knew Will wanted to go all the way. And although Sonny wasn't sure it was the time for that, he still felt like he wanted to give Will something.

"Not doing that…not going to have sex tonight. Just want to make you feel good. Want to make you come undone…just like this." Sonny continued grinding his hips in circles. "Is that okay?" Sonny stopped his movement for a second before gazing into Will's eyes for both emotional and verbal confirmation.

"Ye-yeah."

"Can I leave our hands like this? Or do you want me to let go?" Sonny asked him, just wanting Will to be as comfortable as he was.

"Yes. Leave them. Just don't let go of me, okay?" Will asked at the end.

"Never." Sonny responded and then kisses Will so softly that it feels as though their lips are just ghosting over one another's. With the confirmation Sonny wanted, their hips collided once again, lengths rubbing together perfectly even through the layers of pants and boxers they were both wearing. Will's leg tightened around Sonny's thigh and he leaned down to nip at Will's neck again.

"We can do it soon, Will. I promise. I will make dinner for us and we can flirt with each other and feed each other. We can move over to the couch at my place and make out before finally moving to the bed…and I'll make love to you. All. Night. Long. If you want." Will's moan filled the room at that picture now in both of their heads.

"Yes. All night. You make me feel…so good, Sonny. You have no idea. This is…where I was meant to be."

"I think I do have an idea…you make me feel just as good; safe and like I was meant to be here with you. You close yet?"

"Mhm. God, yes. Can you just…a little harder?" Will asks shyly.

"Anything you want. All you have to do is ask. I aim to please you, my dear Will." Sonny sucked a love bite into Will's skin and their hips collided more roughly.

"Sonny. Yes, I'm close." Will whined, trying to speed things up but feeling awkward if he were to cum in his pants.

"Just let go, baby. We'll get all cleaned up later. I just want to see your face when you cum. Can you do that? Can you cum for me?"

"Fuck, yes. I want you to cum too." Will says through moans of pleasure. It didn't take much longer to release. Both of them reached their heads forward to kiss each other softly before they both came in their pants like teenagers. They released from the kiss and just moaned into each other's mouths as they came. Will almost shouted, never having felt so good before. Once they were coming down, just staring into each other's eyes, they couldn't imagine being anywhere else.

"Thank you" Will said, teary-eyed.

"Thank you? For what?" Sonny asked.

"For loving me. For taking care of me. For…for being you."

"I love you, Will. I do. With all my heart." Sonny said before pressing a short kiss to Will's lips. They exchanged 'I love yous' once more before snuggling up together and drifting off to sleep, telling themselves that they'd clean themselves up in the morning; forgetting about how uncomfortable they'd feel in the morning, because in this moment things were perfect. They were comfortable with each other and with what just happened, and everything was right in their worlds for once.
