Both Will and Sonny have showered and retired to their twin bed. Sonny knowing that he is free now to engage in some mutually pleasurable activities, slides his hand up Will's thigh. As he approaches the object of his desire. Will places his hand over Sonny to stop him. "What ..I thought the traffic cones were gone." "Oh they are but there is something you said to me earlier you were going to talk to me about." "What do you mean...talk about what?" "I don't know...you tell me?" "Earlier you lied to Jeremy about what your dad told you ...why did you do that?" "You told me it was a long story and one that I was not going to like, so let's get that out in the open now." "It really isn't anything Will." Will pushes away from Sonny, at least as far as he can on a twin bed. "Sonny...you lied to him...and I can only assume you did it to protect him in some way." "So what's going on?" "Tell me?"
Sonny sits up in bed raises his knees..and rest his forearm on his them and the sheet pulled taunt over them. Will rolls on his side to look at him.. He can see that Sonny is feeling nervous or has apprehension about what he has to tell him. "Sonny what is it?" "Okay Will but there are a few things I need to say before I tell you." Will now feeling a bit nervous sits up and looks at Sonny who is looking forward and not at Will. "First...I had no idea...none at all...I promise you that." "It never even crossed my mind." "And second nothing ever happened about it." "And third...I was sick when I found out...I felt beyond bad." "Sonny you're making me kind of nervous here...what's going on." "No ...no Will it is nothing to be nervous about...it is not a bad thing per se...it is just at least for me upsetting." "Okay...but Sonny just tell me what it is."
"Two weeks ago when I called my dad and we talked and I told him how miserable I was and that I thought it wasn't fair that I should have to live this way just because my mom had her own fears." "Well we had our talk and yes I boxed my dad into a corner so badly that he really had no choice but to see it my way and to side with me." "That was when he told me about getting me home." "I was so fucking happy Will...I mean...so fucking happy." "Well Jeremy walked in at that precise moment." "I wanted to share the good news with him, not thinking that I would be leaving him after two years." "Well he didn't share my feeling about it." "In fact he just walked away from me over to his desk." "So I went over to find out what was wrong...and that was when he told me he was gay."
"Okay Sonny...I get you feeling bad that you were leaving him...but what does him telling you he was gay have to do with this?" Sonny paused..and looked away from Will, trying to think of a way to say this without upsetting Will. Will puts his hand on Sonny's shoulder. "What is it Sonny?" Sonny still not looking at Will. "He told me he was in love with me." Sonny looked back at Will to gauge his reaction. Will just looked into his eyes. Neither knew what to say at that point. Finally Will spoke up. "Sonny I am so sorry ...for you and for Jeremy." "I know how you feel about him...and now I know how he feels or felt about you." "So he thought that the one person he was closest to here was going to be abandoning him." "And he was going to have to go it alone now." "God I can't even imagine how scared he must have felt..and how lonely he was, and afraid he would be." "And you, now finding out how he felt about you...and knowing you didn't feel the same way and couldn't return the feelings." "I can see why you would feel sick about it." "But Sonny ...he is the one that bought me my ticket to get here." "Why would he do that?" "Will ...that is Jeremy...he is willing to put his friends happiness above his own." "Even if it meant taking away someone he thought he could love and love him back?"Will asked "He saw how sad I was that I didn't have you near me...and that's why he did that." "That is why he gave up his room for us." "That is why he held back his feeling for me because he knew I was in love with you." "Will starts to cry a little." "Sonny that could be us."
"When we were separated in Salem I was scared, sick and beyond lonely." "And I was just a kid and really didn't understanding what I was feeling." "He is feeling that now...and he knows what he is losing." "I can imagine what he is going through." "That was the reason I wanted him to go to the club tonight." Sonny says. "I wanted him to start to feel comfortable around other gay men and maybe build up some courage to carry on once I left." "Well I would say that was a success for his first time out." Will says. "And I think Glen is a nice guy." "But I am here for a few more weeks so we'll just have to help him as best we can."
Sonny looks at Will. "How can you be so amazing and understanding about this?" "What are you talking about?" "Will I just told you my roommate is in love with me...and you are worried about him." "Sonny...I know you're mine...I can't control how others feel about you, but in Jeremy's case...I can try to help him find someone he can love and that can love him back." "Because I think Jeremy really does understand what love is and he deserves someone who is as equally nice as him." "God I love you so much." Sonny says as he leans over to kiss Will.
Will allows himself to fall back onto the bed on his back. "Hey the traffic cop say that you can move freely down the road now." Sonny smiles at him. "Well that's good because because my car has been overheating since you took off your clothes." Will pulls Sonny's body on top of his and opens his legs. Sonny slips between them. "Can we just take our time this time Will?" "I need to feel your body against me for a while." "You're so warm and inviting and I want to experience every inch of you tonight." "Not missing a single spot" "As he says that a tear forms in his eyes." Will lift his hand up to Sonny's face and wipes the tear away with his thumb. "I know Sonny I feel the same way." "How is it possible to feel this much love for some? "Yes" Sonny says as he lowers his lips to Will's and kisses him trying to say with his lips what his heart is feeling at that very moment. Will understanding what this kiss is saying wraps his arms around Sonny's back and holds him tightly. They part briefly, just long enough to say simultaneously say "I love you." Then resume their kiss.
That night was the longest they'd ever spent in a sexual way that did not result in either climaxing for hours. Neither wanted to stop what was happening...and each holding the other off from release. When the time came for them to hold back no longer Will inside of Sonny and Sonny pressed against Will stomach using Will's abs and the motion of his hips for friction they both released together both with tears in their eyes wishing there was even one more way they could express how much love they felt for each other.
Chapter 37: Chapter 37
The first week seem to fly by for Sonny and Will. While they wanted to spend most of their time in bed they both had school. Will doing his work in the room on his laptop or the occasional cafe with internet access and Sonny attending his own classes on campus.
Jeremy actually had two dates with Glen courtesy of Will's house sitting money. And of course after each date Will and Sonny would drag him to their room and grill him about who did what to whom...how often..and how did it feel. While it was all done in good fun they were truly concerned for Jeremy, this being his first gay relationship. But their concern faded quickly when Jeremy told them about how Glen came to his defense when a waiter tried to make fun of Jeremy. It seemed that the waiter thought that since Jeremy didn't speak French very well that he wouldn't understand when the waiter made a joke about him and his poor French skills. The waiter unaware of Glen's fluency in French soon found out that you don't have fun at the expense of his boyfriend. In front of the whole restaurant staff and patrons Glen laid into the waiter for his behavior. This of course was caught by the manager of the restaurant who, both in English and French, apologized profusely for his staffs behavior. And to the benefit of Glen and Jeremy their meals were complimentary. Fortunately for them both the argument all took place before they ordered so they took full advantage of the situation and order the most expensive things on the menu that they liked and didn't even leave a tip. Needless to say this certainly earn points in both Will and Sonny's hearts. And not to mention the arousal of Jeremy who upon leaving the restaurant pulled Glen into an alcove and kissed him like it would be their last kiss. Once the kiss ended Glen just looked into Jeremy's eyes and said. "reminded me to stick up for you more often if this is the thanks I get." At which point he grabbed Jeremy's neck and pulled him in saying " How about some more thanks please." Jeremy was more than generous with his additional thanks.
"Okay I love you and I would love to be in bed with you right now...but...I only have a week left in the City of Lights and all I have really seen is your hot body and spent a lot of time with Little Sonny." "Not that I am complaining...Little Sonny and I love spending time together...boy do we love spending time together but there are a few things I would like to see before I go home." "Can't you just see it now...someone comes up and say. "So how did you like Paris..what did you see." "Well lets see...I saw a lot of my boyfriend's cock...almost equal amounts of his ass." "Oh and did you know you can never have too much lube." "Now while I am sure the listener would be fascinated by me regaling them of how many different position two men can actually have intercourse I would like to also be able to mention that I saw the Eiffel Tower,...not your Eiffel tower,...while equally impressive, the really Eiffel Tower." "Okay,,okay...point made...and it just so happens that I got us two tickets on a cruise on the Seine River tonight to see the light show on the aforementioned Eiffel Tower...the real one not mine." "Though I am sure the other passengers would enjoy both equally." "Woh someone has a big head." "Which head are you talking about?" Sonny asks "Both you jerk." Will say."So what time is the cruise?" "It leaves at 8:00 pm." "I hope you don't mind but I invited Jeremy and Glen to join us." "No that's great...it will give us a chance to see how they interact." "Great...well I am going to jump in the shower and get cleaned up then it's your turn." "Go for it." Will says
Will hears the water start and then hears ringing of a phone. Remembering what that means he walks over to the laptop on Sonny's desk and using the mouse to taps answer. A few seconds later Justin's image comes up on the screen. "Will ..it's great to see you." "How are you liking Paris." Will's mind immediately flashed back to his conversation just a moment ago...and decides to forego his story of how many different positions two men can fuck in. "It is great...we are actually taking a cruise on the Seine tonight to see the light show on the Eiffel Tower." "Oh that is great...when we visited Sonny last year we took that cruise..and the light show is really something." "So is Sonny around?" "Yes he is in the shower at the moment but he should be out shortly." "Do you want to hold on...or is there something I can tell him." Justin hesitates. Will picks up on it and suddenly feels sick. "Sir is there something wrong?" "Is everyone alright?" "Oh yes Will ...everyone is fine here...honest...no one is hurt or sick." "But there is something wrong sir I can tell." "I don't mean to pry...but does this have to do with Sonny coming home?" Justin doesn't answer. "Please Mr Kiriakis...please don't tell me you have changed your mind..and you aren't letting him come home." "Well Will we aren't really sure about that yet."
"WHAT?...WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU AREN'T SURE ABOUT THAT YET?' Sonny yells as he walks across the floor to the computer. "Dad you told me to pack my bags." "What are you doing to me?" "Was that just done to make me feel better?" ""If it was then it was cruel of you no matter what your original intent was." "I am holding up my end of the bargain." "I am staying until the end of the semester." "Sonny your mom..."STOP" Sonny yells. I have one question for you dad. "Am I coming home at the end of this semester or not...YES or NO..."Sonny it's ...YES OR NO DAD Sonny yells. "We aren't sure yet" Sonny just closes the laptop. "Sonny that was your dad"..."Don't talk to me Will...don't say a fucking word to me right now." Will steps away from the computer and goes to sit on the bed. "Call your airline and see if you can change your ticket to tomorrow." Sonny instructs Will. "Sonny what are you talking about?" "Call the fucking airline and change the Goddamn to ticket to tomorrow." "We aren't staying here any longer." Will gets up hesitantly and walks over to Sonny. Sonny has grabbed his suitcase and is jamming clothes into it. Will forcefully wraps his arms around Sonny and pins his arms to his side. "Calm down Sonny...please calm down." Sonny tries to wriggle loose but Will just tightens his hold. "FUCK...he lied to me...my father lied to me." "Sonny you don't know the whole story yet...you didn't give him a chance to explain." Sonny continue to fight against Wills hold.
"What the hell is going on here?" Jeremy says as he opens the door. He see Will trying to hold Sonny in place. Jeremy walks over quickly. "Help me Jeremy please." Will pleads. Jeremy comes over and stands in front of Sonny. "What's going on Sonny...talk to me...?" Sonny finally breaks loose of Will's grip and grabs his suitcase and throws it across the room. "My fucking parents...screwed me over again...they fucking pulled the rug out from under me." "They aren't letting me come home." "Sonny you don't know that for sure." Will says. "The fuck I don't you heard my dad." "Sonny you didn't let him finish...you need to call him back and hear him out." "This could all just be a misunderstanding." The computer let's out another ring from Skype. Will goes over to answer it. "Don't you touch that Will." Will continues to walk towards the computer. Sonny jumps in front of him and grabs the computer and smashes it on the corner of the desk.
Jeremy now scared himself runs over and this time grabs Sonny and picks him up and throws him on the bed and then straddles him pinning his arms down. "Someone tell me what the fuck is going on here." Jeremy demands. "Let me up Jeremy." Sonny says seething with anger. "Not until one of you tells me what is going on." Sonny not offering anything but anger won't tell him. So Will proceeds to explains the events that lead up to where they are now. Jeremy looks down at Sonny who has calmed down a bit. "Sonny man...your dad has always been there for you...there has to be more to this than you know." "You know he would never do something like this to you." "You know that." Sonny starts to cry. Jeremy slowly gets off of him and looks to Will to console him. Will walks over to Sonny and sit down next to him and wipes the tears away. He put his hands under Sonny's shoulder and lift him up to hug him. Jeremy not sure how this may play out walks over to his bed and sits on it facing the two of them. "How can they do this to me Will?" "My dad knows how miserable I am...he knows how much I love you and he gives me a glimmer of hope and then takes it away." "Sonny listen to me...you know your dad would never do that." "He loves you to much to do something so cruel." Through his crying Sonny tries to get his words our..."Then why is he letting this happen?" "I don't know babe I really don't know." "But I do know you need to talk to him...you need find out where this is coming from." "Sonny there has to be a reasonable explanation." "And if it is what you think...and maybe he is reneging on the deal...though I don't think he is... I will do what you say...I will change my ticket and you and I will go back together." "Fuck them all." Will says. Sonny just holds on to Will even tighter. "You will...you will leave with me?" "In a heartbeat babe...where ever you go I go...that's out deal...and I not going to break that for anyone or anything." "We will use the money I still have left to help pay for a ticket back for you." "Hey I got my allowance yesterday...you can have the whole thing to pay for your ticket back Sonny" Jeremy pipes in. Will now starts to cry at Jeremy's offer. He turns to Jeremy with tears in his eyes and just says thank you softly. "Of course...I am not flying you back first class or nothing...so just put that out of your head...right now." Sonny and Will laugh at Jeremy for saving the moment and bringing them back. "Can I at least get an aisle seat." Sonny says to play along so they can all get to a better place. "Well if you're nice we'll see." "Now haven't we all got a date to get ready for?" Jeremy says. "That we do...I want to see that Eiffel tower...and no not your's Sonny."Will says. This time Jeremy laughs. "Eiffel Tower..him...only if you are talking about the little fake ones they sell on the side of the road." "Give me a break...Eiffel Tower..." They all laugh at that.
While the date wasn't as great as Sonny had hoped...he was comforted by having Will to hold on too. As they watched the lights flickering around the tower. Glen and Jeremy spent most of their time kissing and less time looking at the tower. When the cruise ended Will told Glen and Jeremy that he and Sonny were going to go for a walk instead of going back just yet. They understood and left on their own. After walking around Paris for almost 2 hours they head back to the dorm. As they approach the room Will pokes Sonny with his elbow and points to the red sock hanging off the doorknob. Sonny and Will both smile and turn around and walk away.
Chapter 38: Chapter 38
So what do you think they are doing in there? Will asked. I have no idea but whatever it is I am sure it feels good." Sonny answers with a smile. "Well I am happy for him and everything but what are we suppose to do?"Will asks. "I have an idea." Sonny says. "Follow me." As he leads them down the hall. "This is the common linen closets." Sonny says as he opens the two huge door. "This is where we get our sheets and stuff when our's are being washed." "You grab two pillows and I will grab two blankets." Once they have their stash in hand Sonny says "Let's go."
Sonny leads Will down the same halls he did few days ago. "Where are we going?" Will asked. "You'll see." As they make their last turn Will recognizes where they are. "Are we going to the library?" he asks. "Yup". "But won't it be locked up by now?" "Yup" "Okay you have to work on your affirmative responses." "Is that all you can say is yup?" "Yup." Will just shakes his head. They arrive at the library door. "Now what Mr Braniac?" Sonny reaches into his pocket. "I have a key." "What...why do you have a key to the library?" Will asked. "Because the librarian trust me." "That was his mistake." Sonny says. He opens the door and they walk in. Will immediately reaches for the light switch but Sonny grabs his arm. "No... don't do that." "Those windows over there face the quad and across from the quad is the dean's residence." "You flip the switch and he sees the lights on and he is going to call security." "Okay so what are we going to do?" Will asked. "God what's with all the questions?" "Don't you trust me?" "Oh I trust you...I just want to know in advance what crimes we are committing so when we are arrested I can tell them I was just following you." "Nice...real nice." Sonny says. Sonny turns and locks the doors behind him and takes Will's hand. "So Batman..where are you taking us to in the dark." "One more question out of you and little Will and little Sonny won't be coming out to play tonight." "Oh...okay...no more questions, promise."
Sonny leads them to his secret place. "No one knows about this place but me..it is very secluded and no one ever comes here so we could be alone even if the library were full." After a few turns this way and that way they arrive at the secret location. "This is your secret location...the mythology section?" "Yup." "I'm sorry...but didn't ...oh I don't know...JEREMY tell us that this was his secret place." "Yeah so I sold the idea from him." "Get over it." Sonny says laughing. Sonny pulls the blankets out from under his arm and opens one and lays it on the floor. He then takes the pillows out from under Will's arm and drops them down at one of the ends of the blanket. He cast the other blanket aside in case they get cold. They both kick off their shoes. "So getting any ideas now." Sonny says looking at Will. "Oh lot's of idea but before we get to those ideas I want you to sit down." "Well not exactly the position I was planning on but I can work with it." Sonny says. They both sit down in lotus positions facing each other. Sonny reaches over to put his hand behind Will's neck to pull him in for a kiss but Will pulls back. "What ...not romantic enough for you?" "Sonny we have to talk about what happen tonight." "No we don't." Sonny says as he pulls Will again. Will resist again. "Yes we do." "We need to talk about a few things." Sonny just lets his hand drop from Will's neck. "Okay talk.. what do you want to talk about?' "Well first...what happen?" "What ..what do you mean what happen." "My parents fucked me over again." Will looks at him. "Sonny not that part?" "Then what part are you talking about?" Will is hesitant to say it but feels he has too. "The anger part." "I have to say Sonny that scared me." "I know you were upset...and I would be to but your reactions was a bit over the top." "Why because I told you change your plane ticket or that I was going home regardless of what they said?" "No because you grabbed your laptop and smashed it on the corner of your desk just because your dad was calling you back to explain things to you." "Which you never gave him the chance to do the first time." "Will can we please not talk about this?" "Can't we just enjoy being here together."Sonny asks. "Sonny something else is going on what is it?" Sonny stands up and starts to walk away. Will jumps up and grabs his shoulders. "Sonny what are you doing?" "I can't talk about his Will." "Why not?" "What is so upsetting that you can't tell me?"
Sonny walks over to one of the bookshelves, and leans his back against it. He leans his head back. "Will these last two years have been the worse years of my life so far." "Before Jeremy talked me into go with him to Switzerland I was on a brink." "I really thought I am going to lose it...I can't live like this anymore." "I told my mom but she just kept saying it will pass...just give it sometime." Sonny walks back to the blanket and sits down again with one leg bent under him and the other bent in front of him with his forehead on his knee. Will walks over and sits down in front of him. Without lifting his head. Sonny starts. "Will I started to see a shrink here." "I needed someone to vent to."
"What about Jeremy couldn't you talk to him?" "Jeremy had his own issues." In the two years I have lived with him I have not seen one member of his family come to see him." "He get's maybe one call a month ..always from his mother...and I can hear him ask if he can come home." "And the answer is always the same..we'll see." "Well we'll see mean no way are you coming home." "So in answer to your question no I couldn't talk to Jeremy." "I could not find one full minute of happiness here." "Not a fucking minute." "I was missing you so much it was physically hurting me." "I had a mom who was basically afraid of me...or of what I was." "I took all AP courses thinking that if I didn't have anytime to think about my life here then I could ride this out." "I had a roommate who had a crappy life and I felt bad for him and I wanted to be here for him." "And then what happens." "I find you again." "I get some of myself back...I start to feel good again" "I am with the person I am suppose to be with and what happens?" "I get you for one fucking day." "One damn day" "Then I have to come back here to this God forsaken hell hole." "Only to have the shit start all over again." "And then it comes out." "Oh my roommate is gay and he is in love with me." "So let's see what more can I heap on." "Then you show up...and I get to be happy again...only this time...my big prize is I get you for two whole weeks." "Well isn't that a kick in the balls." "I get you for two weeks." Then you leave and then the cycle starts all over again." "You leave and I am now left here with same fucking problems." "And a roommate who is in love with me." "Then miracles of miracles my dad calls and tells me...well Sonny...you're coming home...pack your fucking bag." "That's it...it's over..this cycle of misery is over." I am going home." I am going to be with you full time" "Now could my life get any better." "Oh I'm sorry Sonny...but it seems that life has made a cruel mistake...you don't get the brass ring...you are stuck here for another two years of hell."
Will moves beside Sonny and runs his hand down the back of his head. He can see Sonny is crying because he sees the drops landing on his pant leg. Will lift's Sonny head off of his knee and looks him in the eyes. "I am sorry Sonny...I never knew." And with that he kissed Sonny almost apologetically. Then Sonny brought his hand up and grabbed Will by his hair and increased the force of his kiss. Will understanding that at this time right now Sonny needs to feel connected to him. Will start to unbutton Sonny's shirt and then takes it off. He then lifts his own shirt up and over his torso and head and throws it on the floor off the blanket. Will pushes Sonny back so that he is on his back. Without gentleness of tenderness he starts to take off Sonny's pants. He undoes Sonny's belt and unzips the fly then just grabs both his underwear and the waistband of the pants and pulls them off Sonny completely. Will stands up and undresses as quickly as he can. Once completely naked he just lays down on top of Sonny and kisses him wildly. Sonny's fingers are digging into Will back so deeply that it hurt but Will is not going to take this away from Sonny. Neither utter a word to each other. Sonny finally rolls Will over onto his back and with more force than was needed his uses his knees to spread Will's thighs exposing Will's hole. Sonny allow spit to slide out of his mouth on to Will's hole and then spits into his hand and uses it to lube up his cock. Though already hard Sonny strokes himself a few times..and then without foreplay to loosen Will he placed the head of his cock on Will's hole and enters with force. It hurts Will for a few moments but the pain passes quickly and he allows Sonny to do what he has to get by the pain and anger he is going through. It doesn't take Sonny long to cum. When the wave of temporary pleasure subside. Sonny raises his head from beside Will's because he couldn't look at him while he did that to him. "I am sorry" Sonny says...and the tears start to fall. "Don't be sorry babe...please don't be sorry." Will just holds him until he gets it out of his system.
Chapter 39: Chapter 39
Will and Sonny fell asleep shortly have there chartharic sex session for Sonny. A few hours later they are awoken by the sound of the maintenance crew working outside the library windows. Will awakes first and then Sonny. "We better get out of here or else the librarian is going to think he stepped into the anatomy section if he finds us like this." Will says. "Relax." Sonny says..."they are up working hours before school even starts." "Well nevertheless I would like to get dressed now so we aren't caught like this." Will says. Sonny laughs..."you chicken." Will rolls out of Sonny's arms and sits up to grab his shirt. "Will ...what happen to your back.?" "What?" Will says as he tries to crank his neck around to see. "You have bruises all over it." Sonny says. Will suddenly realizing what he is talking about ...just dismisses it and stands up to put his boxers on. "And your thighs." Sonny points out. Will continues to dress quickly hoping out of sight out of mind. Sonny lets out an audible gasp. "Will did I do that to you...did I hurt you last night?" "It's nothing babe...I am fine." "Oh my God Will," Sonny says as he stands up. "Oh my God..I am so sorry...why didn't' you stop me?" Tears starting to form in his eyes. "Sonny don't worry about it...it doesn't hurt..I am fine." "But Will I did that to you?" Will grabs Sonny by the shoulders and looks him in the eyes. "Sonny listen to me...you were in a bad place last night...you needed to get out of your head..and you needed an outlet to do that." "I was more than willing to be that for you last night." "In fact if you remember correctly I started the ball rolling." "So you did nothing to me last night that I didn't want you to do...so please don't blame yourself...because there is no blame here at all." "You, or more we, did what we had to do to make things better." "So we aren't going to talk about this anymore..okay?" Will says as he wipes the tears off of Sonny cheeks.
"Now as much as I love seeing you naked and all...I don't think the school would be too happy to find two guys naked in the library especially when it isn't even suppose to be open." "So as much as it pains me to say this...could you please put your clothes on." Will says with a laugh trying to lighten the heaviness that has fallen upon them. Sonny starts to put on his clothes almost blindly. He is grappling with what he did to Will and how he could have let that happen and not even know he was doing it. In the middle of getting dressed without looking at Will partly because of his shame Sonny asks. "Are you in pain?" "Sonny no more talk about that okay...I am fine." "Now come on I am starving and you have to get to your room and shower and get your books."
They manage to get out of the library without ever a hint of detection. Will takes Sonny's hand in an attempt to reassure him that everything is fine and that he has no ill feelings toward him..because he doesn't. He meant it when he said that Sonny was in a bad place and that he was glad he could be there for him. Will can tell that Sonny is not buying what he is selling but he is not going to feed into Sonny's fears by discussing it any further. They arrive at the room and the red sock is still on the doorknob. Will looks at Sonny and smiles...but Sonny is not returning any positiveness. "Well I am guessing he just forgot to take it off after Glen left." Will says. "Give me your key?". Sonny almost lethargically reaches into his pocket to get them. Will takes the keys removes the sock and inserts the key in the lock. He hears the lock release and slowly just in case there is still someone in there, opens the door. He stick his head in and looks over at Jeremy's bed. And to his amazement they are both still there fully dress sleeping in each other's arms. Will turns around to Sonny to let him know before he comes in. Sonny acknowledges it and plods into the room. He looks at the clock and sees that they have almost 3 more hours before they even have to get up. But not knowing Glen's system he tells Will that maybe they should wake them both so that Glen can back to his school before it is discovered that he has been out all night. Will concurs and walks over to them.
Hey Jeremy...Jeremy...Glen...".Will says softly as he gently shakes Jeremy's shoulder. "What...what is it?" Jeremy says in gravelly morning voice. "Hey guys...it is 5:00 in the morning." Will says again softly. Glen sits up quickly in bed. "Damn if I show up now they will know I was out all night." "And that will mean a demerit for me and my roommate." "I can't go back now..so I am going to have to stay here and then when school starts just join in with the rest of the people." "What about your blazer in your room?" Jeremy asks. Neither is at all embarrassed over the fact they have been discovered in bed together. Will sort of likes that they are comfortable with their feeling for each other. " I will call my roommate we have the same class first thing this morning..I will ask him to bring it with him to class. " "Well I don't mean to rain on your parade here but your clothes look like you slept in them." Will adds. Jeremy looks over a Sonny who is sitting on the side of his bed with is head hanging down. Jeremy gets out of bed letting Will and Glen sort out clothes issues and he goes an sits next to Sonny. "Buddy what's wrong...you still upset about last night?" "Glen got your computer going again so that is fine." "Just jarred the hard drive out of place but he fixed it and it's running perfectly normal." "Tell him I said thanks," Sonny says. "Dude what's wrong...are you mad we took the room last night?" "Jeremy I fucked up last night..and I hurt Will...physically without even knowing it." "Dammit Sonny. "Will yells..."you didn't hurt me...will you stop saying that." "I am fine...I am not hurt...and nothing that happen last night was wrong." "So please stop with the self imposed guilt trip." "I love you, I will always love you and last night doesn't change that in any way." "So can we just move on to other issues that are important." "First you need to call your dad...I don't care what time it is there..just call him." "Glen as for you looking like you took your clothes out of the hamper...you can put on my stuff we are about the same size so that will work." Will looks over at Sonny. "Come on Sonny call your dad now." "Glen since you have to get back to your school you should shower first then Jeremy then Sonny..and I will take my shower while you guys are all in class." "Come on let's get a move on." Glen I have some clean underwear but I am not sure how feel about your junk resting where my junk has been resting clean or not clean." Will says jokingly. "Glen laughs. "I'll just go commando until free period and then I will get some of my own but thanks." Glen looks over at Jeremy.."but if I go commando...you have to stay away from..or the tent it will be rising." "Jeremy blushes but laughs with Will. Glen gets up and takes the clothes Will offers him and head to the shower. "Oh one thing Glen..Will says...hope you aren't claustrophobic." "When Sonny told me you have to step out of the shower to turn around he is not joking...you do have to step out and then step back in to turn around." "Not fun." Will adds. Jeremy laughs..."he's not kidding babe." Jeremy catches himself but then just gives it a who gives a crap...I like him so what thought.
Once Glen is in the shower Will gives Jeremy the can you leave look. "Hey guys...I have some stuff in the other room I need to get so I will be back shortly." "No peaking at Glen." he says to make them laugh but none was forthcoming. Alone now Will walks over to Sonny who is still sitting on the bed with his head down and sits down next to him.
"Sonny look at me"...but Sonny doesn't move. "Please look at me?" Sonny turns his head to look indirectly at Will. "Tell me what you are feeling right now?" "What is going on in your head?" Sonny starts but stops. Then starts again. "Will I hurt you last night...and you can tell me that I didn't but we both know I did." "Okay Sonny I get that...but here is what really happen." My boyfriend who I love more that life itself was in a lot of pain." "You told me things that you hadn't told anyone...about how you were feeling and how much things were getting to you and that you needed to seek help" "All of this I understand completely." "In fact I am so happy that you sort help." "But last night was the straw for you...you held it up for a long as you could...but it became too much for you..and your back gave out." "And you let me know and see that." "You were in pain...more pain than I think I have ever seen you in...or even knew you had." "So I thought that you needed something to grab on to...something that would be a constant in your life..that wasn't going to leave you or hurt you." "So I used myself to give you that." "All you did was accept my offer and in your own way acted on it in the only way that was going to take that pain away." "What is so wrong with that babe?" "I did it for you...because I love you." "And you didn't really hurt me at all Sonny..in fact you gave me something in return...you let me take away some of your pain...and babe that meant so much to me...that I could do that for you." "These marks on my body ...only mean that you needed me and I could help." "And if I am to be totally honest here...that was some hot fucking sex." "I mean I am not saying let's do that all the time..but damn...once we were in there together...woh..it felt good." Sonny finally smiles. Will leans in and kisses him. "I love you babe...please if you take nothing else from this experience please know that will you."
"Now you pain in my ass call your dad." I checked your phone when I first came in and their are 8 missed messages from him." "So call him back and let's put this all behind us."
Chapter 40: Chapter 40
Sonny goes over to his dinged up but workable laptop. "Wow it still works?" Will says. "Yeah Jeremy told me Glen fixed it last night." Sonny tells him. He opens the laptop and is about to press the power button when he stops and turns and walks over to Will is who has his back to him picking up some clothes off the floor. Sonny turns Will around and without saying anything just wraps his arms around him. He buries his eyes in the crook of Will's neck. Will can feel the tear sliding down his neck. Will returns the embrace. "God Will I love you so much."Sonny says into Will's neck as he tightens his grip. "I know Sonny...believe me I know." "I love you too and no matter what comes of this call right now I promise you that we won't be apart again." "If we have to we will go back together whether they want us to or not." Sonny slides his arms further around Will's back and locks his fingers together." Will can feel Sonny sobbing and just holds on to ride this out with him.
Ah..."guys"..."excuse me guys." Sonny quickly releases Will and turns his head wiping the tears off his face so that Glen doesn't see him crying. Will let's Sonny compose himself and turns to Glen who is standing in the bathroom doorway holding his tee shirt in front of him to cover up as best and can. "Any chance you have a towel?" Will laughs..oh sorry man...let me go get you one." "No I'll get it" Sonny says so he can leave the room for a bit. Once Sonny is gone Glen speaks up. "You guys okay Will?' Glen asks. "We're fine Glen thanks for asking...just hitting a rough patch but hey we've hit them before and we are still together and will be after this patch as well." Will tells him. Will now realizing the position he is in..."Okay Glen ...no offense ...and you look great and all...but I am not real comfortable having a conversation with a friend of mine's naked boyfriend." "You know it's sort of like not talking to the other guy in the bathroom." "Just not the place you want to have a discussion..if you know what I mean." Glen laughs.. "What's up with that?..Glen says..."talking in the men's room. "Oh and there is always that one guy who doesn't get that if there are 3 urinals on the wall and you are the only there you take an end urinal not the middle because the next guy that comes in has to stand right next to you." "They really should teach bathroom etiquette in first grade." Both Will and Glen let out a belly laugh. "Right?" Will says through the laughter.
Sonny comes back with 4 towels. He walks closer to Glen but not so close that Glen can see his red eyes, and throws him a towel. "Here you go dude." Sonny says. "Thanks man." Glen says as he backs back into the bathroom and closes the door. "So you okay babe?" Will ask. "Yeah I am fine." "Let's get this call over with once and for all." Sonny says. ""Okay let's just bite the bullet." Will says.
Sonny brings up the Skype program and brings up his contacts and taps on home. He watches and waits for a pick up. About 30 seconds later the screen flashes and Justin's face come on. "Sonny where have you been ...you scared me?" Sonny reaches over and grabs Will's by the waist and pulls him into the frame. Then tilts the camera so that both Will and Sonny's faces are on the screen. Sonny leans his head against Will's hip. "Oh hey Will." "Hello sir." Will replies. "So are you two okay...Sonny you were very upset yesterday...but you didn't give me a chance to explain anything to you." Sonny sits back up straight. "What do you want to tell me dad?" Sonny said with mild anger. Will squeezed his shoulder to let him know he was here and behind him no matter how this goes. "Sonny let me just start by saying I did not mean to upset you..for that I am really sorry." "How did you expect me to take the news dad...did you want me to roll over like I have had to to do for the past two years?" "Tell me dad what did you expect?"Sonny said again with angry. Will let it go because Sonny needed to get this out too. "Sonny you didn't let me finish what I wanted ..or needed to tell you." Justin says. "Well here's your chance then...tell me what I don't get." "Okay...first let me apologize for what I have done...I had no recourse to accomplish what I, no what we wanted." "I told your mom that you were coming home and she put her foot down and told me no, and that that was that." Justin tells him. "So she doesn't care that I am miserable, great thanks for sharing that will me." Sonny say. "Now wait...hold on Sonny." "There is more." "And this is where I am going to have to ask you for your forgiveness." Both Will and Sonny are getting the sick feeling at the next thing Justin is going to say. "Sonny I know I said it was up to you...but I couldn't keep it to myself...I told your mom that you were gay." "Now I am sorry I did that Sonny but it was the only way I could make her understand why I wanted you home." Will and Sonny both were able to breath a bit. Both thinking ...this isn't so bad...yet.
"And her reaction was what?" Sonny says. "Well you know her reaction was what I expect a lot of parents probably say...he doesn't know what he is...it is a phase...or someone to making him think that." "And Will I am afraid that is where you came in." Justin say. Will shows no shock at this revelation...in fact he expected it after Justin's last line. "Adrianne thinks that you have influence Sonny this way." "Dad you know that...Justin interrupts him.."Hold on Sonny ...hold on." " I know what you are going to say...and I told her all that." "In fact I told her that I knew that you and Will had feeling for each other before you even knew what those feeling were." "I also told her that I didn't discourage them because if I did then I would be denying who you are and she would be too if she chooses not to accept it." For the second time in and hour Sonny starts to fill up with tears. Incapable of talking Will jumps in as he rubs Sonny's back..
"So sir where does that leave us?" "Well that was what I was trying to talk to you about yesterday Sonny." "You can still come home if you want...and I am behind that 100% but if you do...you just need to be prepared for some resistance...especially you Will." "Me sir?" "Yes...I am sorry to say that right now in Adrianne's eyes you have made Sonny this way." "While we all know that isn't true she is going to behave that way until she sees and hears for herself from Sonny." "So I have to ask both of you ...are you ready for some trouble...and Will from your own parents as well I suspect.?" "Yes" both Will and Sonny say at the same time. Sonny wiping his eyes of their tears..."Dad if it means that I can be with Will then they can throw whatever they want at me..and I will be fine." "That goes for me as well sir." Will says. "Well then I guess we are all on the same page..and on schedule."
"Again Sonny I am so sorry that I told your mom before you could explain things." "No dad I get it...you did what you had to do to make this work and I am completely fine with it." "In fact you have sort of laid the foundation for me to talk to her about it now." "So it is all good." Sonny adds. "Well then...I love you Sonny and you Will but it is very late here and I have court in the morning so I am going to head to bed." "Dad are you and mom okay...after this?" "Sonny we will be fine." "That doesn't answer my question dad...are you two okay?" "Well let's just say we are working through it...and leave it at that okay?" "Okay dad..I am sorry." Sonny say. "No apology needed son...just a part of being married...we don't always agree but we love each other." "Now I am ending this now..or I will be sleepwalking in court tomorrow." "Love you both...good night...or morning for you." Bye dad...goodbye sir." When Sonny ends the program the screen returns to the desktop image of...Will and Sonny at the Lion Monument with Cute Couple typed under it.
"See not so bad"..Will says..."so we will have a rough time at first but...hey we will get through it together." Sonny stands up and kisses Will with intent. Then just over Will's left shoulder Sonny see's Glen standing there watching. Sonny pushes Will away. "Hey what's the " but before he can finish his question...Sonny just using his index finger points behind Will. Will turns and sees Glen standing there. "Oh don't let me stop you"..Glen says putting his hand up in surrender..."I will cover my eyes...or maybe I won't." "I have a feeling I would be learning from the master's according to Jeremy's stories." Glen says. "And he would be right." Will says as he wraps his arms around Sonny's waist and pulls him against his body...".We could teach you things you've never even heard of." Techniques passed down through the ages...of ways to pleasure you mate." Will says speaking like a swami ...Sonny backhands Will in the stomach...and they all start laughing. "Nah..our technique..is simple...if it feels good then it's is the right thing to do." "And dang does it feel good." Will adds. "Okay enough of the sex talk...newbie in the room." "Well hopefully not a newbie for long." Glen say laughingly. "Oh is that so you horndog?" Jeremy says from the door. "Now you've done it." Sonny says looking at Glen.
Chapter 41: Chapter 41
Will's departure date was rapidly approaching and he still had not seen many of the site that Paris had to offer so Jeremy made the suggestion that all four of them just take a day and do up as much as they could in one day before Will had to leave. So one night they all gathered in the former Sonny and Jeremy room to create a plan of attack on Paris. Will started with what he wanted to see. "Okay, I have seen the Eiffel Tower from the cruise but I would like to see it close up so that is is a definite stop." "Then of course the Louvre...I have to see the Mona Lisa the Venus de Milo." Glen chimed in with "you have to see Notre Dame and the original Statue of Liberty." "Well I just say we wing it." Jeremy offers. They all just look at him. "What?" he says as if he said something wrong. "Well it is up you Will what do you want to see first?" Sonny asks. "I say we start at the Louvre since that will take up most of our time."Will suggest. "Well the Louvre it is then." Sonny says.
The next morning they all gather at Sonny and Jeremy's room and then head out. After paying a not to bad price to get into the museum, Will breaks out the map of where things are that he wants to see. As he is walking in and opens the map he discovers he grabbed a french map. "Ah crap I got the french version." "Well this ought to be fun." Will says. "Glen how good are you at reading french?" Jeremy asked. "Reading?...not so good...unless it is a menu." he replies. "Hold on" Sonny says as he runs back to the entrance walking against the flow of traffic. "Sorry...ugly American here...excuse me...yup no class...excuse me.." He finally gets to the stand with the maps, locates an English version and heads back to the group. "Here you go." he says as he hands it to Will. "Wow if looks could kill...you would be dead right now." Will says with a laugh. "Hey you gotta do what you gotta do." Sonny says. "Beside it will give them something to talk about our dinner tonight." Then mimicking a dinner conversation. Trying to say it with a french flare. "Oh we had this dreadful American who had no couth causing all kinds of trouble today at the museum." "They'll get over it." Sonny says. "So what do we want to see first? Glen asks. "Let's start with the Venus de Milo." Will say. So they all head off.
As the approach Jeremy points out. "Hey the damn thing is broken." "It ain't got no arms." "What they didn't have any super glue they could have attached them back on with?" They all just shake their heads. Sonny looks at Will and says "it is going to be one of those day." "What day's" Will says. "Just watch...this is Jeremy being Jeremy. "Hey why do all these statues of women all have their boobies showing." "Was that normal back then." "Cause if I was straight I would have like to live back then." "But a lot of these chicks could have used a weight watchers program or two." "Or a Jenny Craig or something." "Some of these chicks have more rolls than a bakery." " I mean I'm just saying." "Hey ya think if these girls posed for these naked, that they did a little beast with two backs thing with the artist." "Oh God...are you going to be like this the whole time we are here? Glen asked. "What...I am just wondering." "Come on it never crossed your mind." "I mean they don't seem to mind showing it off for people." "I wonder if they knew that a few hundred years after they posed that people would still be looking at them all naked and stuff they would still have done it.?" "I mean it ain't Penthouse or Playboy."Jeremy adds. "Can we move on please...this guy is going to kill me here." Glen says. "Get use to it Glen this is him being him." Sonny pipes up. "So where next Will?" Sonny asked. "The Mona Lisa."
They arrive in the great red room and shuffle their way through the crowd to get to the roped off area so they can get a closer look. "Damn should have brought binocular." "Jeremy say. "What's that the size of a postage stamp?" "And she ain't even that good looking." "That suppose to be a smile...looks like she is taking a whiz and that is a look of relief because she's been holding it for so long." Will and Sonny can't hold back and start to laugh...but try to keep Jeremy from seeing because they know it will get worse. "Well at least she had some modesty." No boobies here. "But then she doesn't look like she has much to work with anyway." "Hey wait a minute ..is that a dude dressed as a girl?" "Jeremy come on." Glen says as he grabs his arm and tries to pull him away. "Look ..I think it is...that's a dude pretending to be a dudette." Jeremy says as Glen pulls him away.
Turning to the paint to the left of the Mona Lisa Jeremy speaks up. "Oh come on who has a house that you could hang a picture that size in...come on" "That damn thing is larger than most of the apartments in New York." he says. "That happens to be a painting of the Coronation of Napoleon." "What did he invent Napoleon Ice Cream?" Jeremy asked trying to pretend to be sincere. Glen looks at him with dismay but also trying not to laugh. Glen looking at Will says. "Napoleon's mother was painted in but never attended the coronation because she was upset with Napoleon over the trouble he was having with his brothers." Jeremy not letting that one go. "So his own mom wouldn't go to his graduation because he and his brothers were fighting." It was a coronation not a graduation." Glen says knowing full well that Jeremy knows that. "Damn she must have been one hard bitch." Jeremy say. "Me and my brother's fought all the time...but my mom would still go our soccer games." he adds. Will and Sonny are trying to laugh quietly but their sides are starting hurt. "Hey why aren't any of those chicks showing boobies." "Guess they are shy...you think?" Jeremy says. "Oh God...please get us out of here." Glen says. "Where to next." he adds. "I think we should just walk around...I have seen the two major things I wanted to see." Will says.
So the four continue their tour...Glen occasionally filling Will in on the history of a particular piece. Of course Jeremy giving his own narration. " I don't know about you guys...but it sure seems like they have a lot of broken statues." "I am guessing that really hurts the resale value...don't you think?" Jeremy says. "And what's with all the willies showing...come on these things ain't nothing you want to be showing off if you catch my drift." "I mean..I'm not hung like a mule but these guys make me look like I have a porn star size cock." "Maybe what they say is true ...it ain't what you got but how you it." he says. Almost near the end of their tour of the museum they step outside. They all look almost in awe at the glass pyramid in the courtyard. "Wow...can you just imagine how much Windex it would take to wash all that glass?" Jeremy says. I would not want to be that window washer." Jeremy poses. "Okay that's it...stick a fork in my I am done." Glen say. And this time they all laugh without trying to hold back. Sonny looks at Glen and Will..."That's my Jeremy...in all his glory...or lack of...
Chapter 42: Chapter 42
It will be Will's last night in Paris and Sonny is feeling down. He's talk to Jeremy to ask him to leave he and Will alone in the room for the night. He didn't feel like going out and doing some sort of send off evening. He felt it would be too hard. Jeremy and Glen completely understood but told him they would be there in the morning to say goodbye.
Sonny's last class was over and he was heading back to his room. He dreaded this walk. Even though it is only suppose to be for two weeks it seems like it will be forever before he sees Will again..and his heart aches.
The door opens and Will looks up. "Hey babe, then looking down at his watch, classes over already? "Yeah." Sonny says as he throws his backpack on Jeremy's bed." "Wow didn't realize how fast the day went by." Will gets up to give Sonny a kiss on the cheeks. Sonny just stands there in the middle of the room. Will can see Sonny is not with him at the moment. He is already at the goodbye place and it is bothering Will. Will put his around Sonny's waist and pulls him a bit closer. "Babe...I know I have to go tomorrow..but look at it this way...in two weeks we won't have to go through this ever again." "We will both be in the same place at the same time and we can be together whenever we want." "God Will, I know all that but these last two weeks..I feel like I am getting back to being happy." "I'm scared." Sonny says. "Scared of what?" "I am just scare of going back to being in a dark place again." "I have become so use to you being with me..and looking forward to coming back after class to find you here at the desk." "Now I won't have that for two weeks." "It will feel like I lost you all over again." Will now wraps his arms around Sonny's neck and looks him in the eyes. "Sonny I understand what you're saying and feeling from what you told me that night in the library." "But this isn't like that...we aren't going to be forced apart for 2 years." "This is just 2 weeks." "That's all just two weeks." Sonny removes Will's arms from around his neck. "You don't get it Will...God I can't put it into words." "I said this before...that night... in my mind I know we will see each other in Salem in two weeks." "But I am standing on a rug right now that I can see is going to be pulled out from under me." "I can see that and I can't stop it." "But it's not being pulled out Sonny." "You're still standing and this time you get to walk off that rug an over to me." "No one is going to pull it out." "Don't you get it Will?" "It is" Sonny quips back." You're leaving tomorrow." Sonny tries to explain. "For me it is the same thing as leaving you in Salem ..the same as leaving you in Lucerne."
Will is now getting worried. He can see for Sonny this is just a repeat of events all over again. Will takes Sonny hands and leads him to the bed to sit down. "Tell me what I can do to make this better for you Sonny." Sonny puts his head down and shakes it. "There is nothing you can do Will, I feel like I am on the verge of a panic attack." "My rational mind can see this isn't forever but my subconscious it telling me that it is over, I am never going to see you again." "I can't deal with this." "Will I can't let you go tomorrow...I just can't...I am too scared." Will slides off the bed onto the floor and kneels down between Sonny legs. Will can see the shear terror on his face. He wraps his arms around him and holds him tightly. He can feel Sonny shaking. "Babe...please tell me what I can do?" Will asks. Without hesitation Sonny just blurts it out. "Don't go, stay with me until we can go together." "Please Will...if you can do that for me...I will be fine...please...for me...just stay until we can go home together." "Sonny I don't know if I can do that." Sonny stands up and step around Will and walks out of the room and slams the door. Will stands to go after him...afraid of what he might do. "He catches up with Sonny and grabs his arm. Sonny jerks it away. "I ask you to do one thing for me...one fucking thing...and you can't. Sonny says.
Jeremy comes walking down the hall and sees the angry look on Sonny's face. He hurries towards them and puts a hand on Sonny's shoulder more firmly than a friendly gesture. "Hey buddy..what's going on?" Will notices that Jeremy is behaving like he has had to deal with this before with Sonny. Will starts to talk but Jeremy raises his head up to look at him and gives a quick and slight (no) shake of his head. Jeremy then still with a tight grip on Sonny's shoulder slides his other hand and arm around both of his shoulders holding him hard against him so that Sonny doesn't try to bolt. He then leads him away. Will is standing there watching them leave. Jeremy turns his head to Will with a, I have this look on his face.
Will turns and walks back to the room. He can see that it is not going to work if he leaves Sonny behind tomorrow. He is afraid that what Sonny told him in the library was not the full story and that Sonny is in a lot more pain than he has let on during this visit. He reaches the room and closes the door. Will is crying for Sonny and for not noticing what this is really doing to him. He picks up Sonny's laptop and is going to do the only thing he can think of to make this right.
"Will...where is Sonny is everything alright." Justin asked. "Hello sir...I am sorry to bother...but things are not good with Sonny." "Is he hurt did something happen to him...what's wrong Will?' Justin asks nervously. "No sir ..Sonny is physically fine...honest..there's nothing wrong with him physically." "Then what is it Will." "Mr. Kiriakis...I am afraid for Sonny right now." "What do you mean Will...afraid in what way?" "Sir Sonny is not taking me leaving tomorrow very well...I am scare for him." "I understand Will...I have been getting the same feelings myself from him." "When we chat on here he doesn't seem to be there." "It's like he is just going through the motions." "When he came back from seeing you in Lucerne he changed." "Sir if I may explain what I think is going on ...maybe we came come up with a way to make this better for him." "Anything Will any idea you have I would appreciate." "From talking to Sonny...it's seem he has this feeling everything bad that is happening is just repeating itself over and over again..and he can't see it stopping." "I thought that since we would be back in Salem together in two weeks that he would feel better and would see everything is going to work out." But I am afraid it has made things even worse." Will continues "Sonny sees this as the town square goodbye, being shipped off here, leaving me in Lucerne and now me leaving to go home as all part of pattern that he can't seem to break." "Well Will I can't say I blame him for feeling that way." "Neither can I sir." "But I am caught here." "In that I can't change my ticket..I leave tomorrow..and Sonny's semester isn't over for another two weeks." "So we are trapped." "And sir I can't and won't' leave Sonny like this." "So I am asking you to help here...please."
Will sits in the room for the next two hours pacing and opening the door to see if Sonny or Jeremy are coming down the hall. He busies himself by changing the sheets on the bed...getting towels from the linen closet in the hall and cleaning up the room. Finally after waiting an additional 30 minutes the door opens and Jeremy and Sonny walk in together. "We just needed some fresh air" Jeremy says." As he turns to close the door behind him."I am going to take a shower." Sonny says. "Don't forget to grab a towel off your desk..I grabbed some while you guys were out."Will says. Jeremy and Will watch him looking deflated walk back to the desk and picks up a towel. Then heads to the bathroom. Once in the bathroom he closes the door behind him.
"Jeremy what is going on ...I have never seen him like this." Jeremy grabs the desk chair and pulls it over to face the bed and Will sits down facing him. "Will this all started when he came back from Switzerland." "He was on such a high from seeing you and being with you that he was euphoric." "But a few day's later he crashed." "He became sullen..non communicative." I could barely get him to leave the room." "See he kept saying that he was never going to see you again..that something was going to happen to keep you apart and he was dwelling on that single thought." "No matter what I said or did helped." "So basically I just kept an eye on him." "When I saw him get like you saw him today, I would just, be, with him...just let him vent on me." "He would even blame me for the things that were wrong." "I knew where it was coming from so it never bothered me...it only bothered me that he was hurting so bad." "So what you saw today was just one of those episodes." "We went for walk...he vented to me...and here we are." "But Will I am going to be honest here...if there is anyway you could not leave tomorrow and stay until he can go with you then please I'm begging you please do it." "Jeremy I wish you had told me about this...so that I could have been better prepared." Will said. "Sonny made me promise not to say anything to you." "He and I had it under control sort of." "But this time Will I don't think I will be able to help him." "He thinks this is the end of the two of you." "So I am going to asked again...if you love him as much as you say and show you do..then please don't go tomorrow." Just as Jeremy finishes his sentence he hears the bathroom door opening. "Whew thank God you showered man...I couldn't breath when I was around you." Jeremy says laughingly but getting no response. Sonny comes walking out...almost as if nothing had happen.
"Sonny I was just telling Jeremy that I don't have to go home tomorrow." "You're stuck with me for the next two weeks." "Looks like you and I are flying home together babe." Sonny's face lit up like a floodlight has been flashed on it. He practically runs over to Will and in the process drops his towel from around his waist. He latches on to Will for dear life. He doesn't say anything. Jeremy turns away. "Okay then...enough with the franks and bean there Sonny." Jeremy says. "And you might want to cover those buns too" Will let's out a laugh..and Sonny looks down and sees what he means and grabs the towel to cover up. Sonny now covered looks Will in the eyes. "Let me get dressed and we can celebrate." "Jeremy call Glen and we can go to that club across the street again." "Oh no...not that place...my balls and ass haven't recovered from the first visit."Will says "What do you say we just go to some cafe and have some coffee." "Whatever you want" Sonny says giving Will a kiss on the lips."I'll be right back." Sonny hurries back to the bathroom grabbing his clothes as he goes.
Jeremy looks at Will. "Will what happen?" "I didn't think you could change your ticket it was too late." "It is too late but I am telling Sonny that that is what I did." "So that is the story we are sticking with okay." "Okay..but are you going to tell me what really happen?" "Tell you what Jeremy, you come to Salem and I will tell you everything." "See there's a reason right there for you to come see us." "Yeah like we are going to need a reason to come visit you." "What's this we thing." Jeremy blushes a bit. "Glen and I plan to come visit you during our next school vacation." "I was going to send you an email shortly before we were coming." "We both want to get back to the states and since my family isn't too keen on me I think of you three as my family..so we are coming over to visit our little family anyway." Will walks over and hugs him tightly. "We are family Jeremy and you come see us whenever you want...you and Glen." "Hey what the hell is going on here." Sonny says from the open bathroom door. "Hey dude I told you, your guy has the hots for me...he can't keep his hands off me." "Can't really say I blame him...I would be all over me too if I saw myself out." Jeremy retorts. "Oh God, ego much?" Will jokes. "Hey dude you were the one hugging me...I'm just stating fact here." "Please...you were trying to get a little of this." Will says as he does a Price is Right model hand gesture over his body. Sonny walks over and grabs Will's ass...and looks at him..."I believe you babe...this guy is a letch." Sonny says pointing his thumb at Jeremy. Will turns and give Jeremy his brightest smile. "Now come on call Glen let's get out of here." Sonny says. "Alright...alright I will go call him." Jeremy replies. Sonny still with his hand on Will's ass says. "Wait." Sonny releases his grip on Will and walks over to his dresser and opens a drawer and pulls out a red sock. He throws it at Jeremy. "We won't be going out tonight" "Could you lock the door on your way out and put this on the doorknob." Jeremy catches the sock. And just stands there jaw dropped open. "You heard the man...door, out, lock, sock, doorknob, go on." Will says giving Jeremy a shoo gesture."You two are like fucking rabbits." Jeremy says. "May be but you're the one hoppin outta here now go." "Sonny is going to help me with biology lesson today." "What was today lesson?" "The male reproductive organs?" "I give up, goodnight." Jeremy says as he leaves the room. Now let's see where do we start.
Sonny turns to Will when Jeremy leaves. He kisses him with a calm and a thank you that Will pick up immediately. Will lift Sonny's shirt up his torso and over his head and off. He leans in and kisses Sonny's neck. Sonny pulls Will's head away from him and looks in the eyes with a blinding focus as he unbuttons his shirt. "I know you couldn't exchange your ticket Will." Sonny says. Then leans in and kisses his lip. "And I know you did whatever you did for me." Then kisses him again. Then without taking his eyes off or Will's eyes he slides Will's shirt off and on to the floor. "And I don't need to know what you did to make this happen." Still not looking anywhere but in Will's eyes. Sonny starts to unbuckle Will's belt and pants. Will feels them slide down his legs to the floor. He kicks off his shoes. And like Sonny is not taking his eyes off of Sonny's eyes. Will step out of his pants and then returns the favor to Sonny and undoes his belt and pants and they too slide to floor and like Will he step out of them. "I just need you to know that I love you so much for doing this to me." Neither has taken their eyes off the other the entire time. "I finally feel like the cycle has been broken." "And I can finally know with certainty that I can be happy and that it won't be fleeting and that is all because of you." Both maintaining eye contact take off their underwear.
Sonny final leans against Will's body and wraps his arms around him and gently lowers him to the bed. Will can feel the tension easing from Sonny's body...as he runs his hands up and down his back with little pressure. More assurance than desire. Sonny raise his head. With a single tear rolling down his cheek he looks into Will's blue eyes. "It isn't possible to love someone more than I love you." He then leans down and kisses Will with passion, lust, sexual desire, thanks, need and everything thing in between. While they kiss Will blindly reaches over to the night stand opens the drawer and take out the lube. Speaking through their kisses Will asks "Sonny please make love to me tonight slowly." Sonny takes the lube and squeeze it out on to his hand..and applies on Will. Then he slowly slips his index finger inside. He does it with care. Not because he likes feeling Will in every conceivable way but because he wants Will to feel nothing be pleasure tonight. No initial discomfort from from his entering him. Sonny gently massaging round this hole and ring. Will clutches the back of Sonny's head and kisses him harder. Sonny responses by inserting a second finger. again slowly and with care. He then rub around the inner circle. He can feel Will relaxing allowing himself to just enjoy the touch of his lover. Sonny feels Will sliding a hand down between their bodies and then feel Will place his hand over Sonny's and applying pressure pulls Sonny deeper into him. "One more Sonny then I will be ready for you." "Please." Will says. Sonny inserts the third finger and suddenly feels Will's body relaxed. Prepared for Sonny to enter him. Sonny continue to move his finger around the ring slowly and purposefully inside to loosen Will up. Will talking through his kiss says "I am ready babe...please, now". Sonny applies the gel to his erection and situates himself between Will's legs. Without any prompting from Sonny, Will opens his legs and pulls them up his side. Then wraps them around Sonny's back placing the heels of his feet on that firm ass of Sonny's. Will then applies pressure to encourage Sonny to begin. Sonny without any need to manipulate his organ to find it's intented location instinctually finds just by moving his hips to the right place and slowly enters Will. Will releases his grip on Sonny's head and stops kissing him. "Is something wrong Will." "No babe I just want to look at you as we do this." "That way I can see the love in your eyes and feel your love at the same time." "Is that okay?" "It's more than okay babe...because I get to see the pleasure on your face and you get to see the pleasure you give me." Sonny continue to rhythmically pump in and out of Will slowly. Every once in awhile Will will ask him to stop because he just wants to focus on the feel of Sonny inside him. He wants to feel Sonny cock inside his body..making him feel like he is a part of him that there is a true union between them. Then Sonny resumes his rhythm for awhile longer. When Will has reach a point where he needs to feel Sonny's body wash over with pleasure he looks in his eye. "Sonny let it go...please let me feel you releasing a part of you inside me." Sonny increases his timing...and the intensity of his actions without taking his eyes off of Will's. "Sonny I am almost there." "So am I babe." Sonny continues and then sees Will's eyes roll back and his neck arch his head back into the pillow. A guttural moan is released by Will into the air as Sonny feels the warmth of Will's ejaculation between their stomachs. It is at that point when Sonny makes his final thrust and releases what he has been hold back for all this time." Will increases the pressure his heels are applying when he feels the first of many explosions of cum inside him. Sonny leans down and kisses Will while he feels each ejaculation exploding inside of him. His body is in pleasure overload. As each ejaculation occurs Sonny's hip jerk against Will's. Once physical ecstasy has subsided and he feels spent he lowers the upper half of his body down on to Will completely. Will reaches around and digs his finger into Sonny's back trying to keep this feeling from going away even though it will. Sonny start to pull out but Will stops him...please not just yet...let me feel you for a bit longer please." Sonny stops until he feels himself becoming flaccid and then slides off Will and on to his side.
Both lay still Sonny on his side and Will on his back. Will smiles. "Why the big smile?" Sonny asks. "Because that was phenomenal and something I want to do over and over again." "Why was it so special this time." Sonny asks. "I know it will sound weird but while every time we have done it before I have felt connected to you...this time I felt like we were taking it someplace we hadn't before." "What do you mean?" Sonny says with a smile. "This time it was completely about feeling you...not the I want you to fuck me you...I was feeling nothing but that I want to be a part of you." "Does that make sense?" "Well I will be honest...at first when you said that you wanted us to look at each other while we were doing it I sort of felt scared that maybe it would take away from what you and I were feeling. But once we started to get into the rhythm of it...I could completely see what you were going for..and I was there 110%." "It was different in a whole new and unexplored way for us." "And like you, I want to explore this way a lot more." "Only maybe this time you can be inside me." "So I get to see how it feels from the other side." "Well believe it or not I am ready now." Will say. "I was hoping you'd say that." Sonny replied.
Chapter 43: Chapter 43
Will is sitting at Sonny's desk in the dorm room. He is finishing up his last term paper and then he is done until he is back in Salem and the next semester starts. He wonders what it is going to be like to be back in an actual classroom again since he has been homeschooling for the last month. He got his flack from his mother about not coming home when he was suppose to..but he blew it off because there are more important things than him getting home to God knows what. He is glad he and Justin were able to work this out and he will forever be grateful to him for that.
Will types his last email on the attached term paper and sends it off to his teacher then closes the laptop...blowing out a big breath of air as he does it. "Done, finished,finito, fada complet, Thank God." He says to himself. As he is about to get up the door opens. "Hey babe ..how was your day?" Sonny comes in and throw his backpack on the floor next to the desk. He purposefully walks toward Will and take one of his hand and leads him to the bed. "Sit down please?" Sonny ask. Will surprised by the directness, but sits anyway. Sonny sits down at the foot of the bed and turns to face Will. He pull his legs up to sit Indian style. Will in turn mimics him only he is facing Sonny. "Okay here it is"... Sonny says. "Here what is?" Will asks. "Will this has been bothering me for two days now...and I feel I have to say something or it is just going to keep bothering me." "Okay...so what's bother you." Will asks. "Okay..here goes...crap..I didn't think this was going to be so hard to say." Will takes Sonny's hand..."just say it babe, whatever it is just spit it out." Will notice that Sonny is starting to well up. "Babe" Will says leaning over to touch forehead with Sonny..."come on just tell me." "Will I am so sorry for how I behaved the other day." "I am embarrassed by it..and I said a terrible thing to you...and I can't get past it." Will reaches up and puts his hand behind Sonny's neck. "Babe...you did nothing wrong, and certainly don't owe me any apology." "Yes I do Will...I in essence accused you of not caring about me." "I don't remember that." Will responded. "In the hallway when I had just asked you not to go and you told me you didn't think it was possible for you to stay." "Sonny that was nothing...you were upset...I didn't take offense at that...it didn't hurt me or make me feel bad at all." "If you remember correctly I did the same thing to you back in Lucerne." "So what do you say we call it even." Will adds. "I can't Will...I feel like I was telling you that you didn't love me enough and that is the complete opposite of how I feel about you." "Is this why you have been so quiet these last two days?" Will asked. Sonny won't look at him.
"Sonny listen to me...please...look at me...please just look at me?" Sonny looks up at Will. "Okay first don't blame Jeremy...he was only doing what was best for you, but he told me what was going on with you since Lucerne. Sonny pulls his hand away from Will's and gets off the bed. He walks over to the window and turns his back on Will and just stare out. Will gets up and walks up behind him and puts his arms around his waist and rest his chin on Sonny's shoulder. "Babe." Will says. "I understand...honest." "We talked about this." "All I can say to ease your mind is that when we were pulled apart the first time you had it much harder than I did." "I was still at home with all the same faces...just not yours." "The one I really wanted to see." "But you were sent here...and nothing was familiar." "No familiar faces...or places or even the same language." "But you did it..and you did it for over 2 years." "I know I couldn't have done that." "I mean look what happen to me ...and I was home." "I was a mess." "But you held it together all that time." "Then Lucerne happens and you see history repeating itself." "Then we get that all sorted out and then separation rears it's ugly head again." "I have to go and leave you behind." "Sonny who wouldn't be rattle by that?" Will kisses his neck. "Babe...you got scared." "And why wouldn't you?" Sonny turns around and looks Will in the eyes. "Thank you for understanding and for supporting me." "I don't think I would have made if not for you." "Well here is the best part." Will says. "You never have to find out." He then leans into Sonny to give him a kiss of lust and passion. Breaking their kiss Will whispers into Sonny's ear. "Got any socks left in that draw?" Sonny smiles at him..."Hell I will use one of the ones I have on and he kicks off a shoe and takes the sock off and runs to the door. After he has placed the creative Do Not Disturb sign he closes the door and locks it then turns around and sees Will is already half undressed. "Wait for me...don't start without me." "Well let's go...get that gorgeous ass over here." Will says smiling at Sonny.
Two hours later and more than one orgasm for each they lay holding each other. Knock...Knock... "Okay guys come on...you're going to start to chafe." Jeremy yells from the other side of the door. Sonny yells back "That is a chance we are willing to take" as he climbs out of bed and puts on some sweatpants and throws Will his jeans. Sonny check to make sure Will has his jeans on and then reaches or the doorknob. "Okay so what's so important." Sonny says as he opens the door and see Jeremy and Glen standing there each holding a ticket in there hand. "What are those for." "There for you two, you moron" Jeremy says as he pushes his way by Sonny to enter the room. Glen follows closely behind just shaking his head and smiling. "That's my Jeremy...ever the gentleman and Sultan of subtlety." Sonny just laughs. "Hey you didn't seem to mind me being less than subtle last night." Jeremy retorts. Glen puts his hand in front of his face. But both Sonny and Will can see the red just creeping in. "Yeah...not such a wise ass now are you?" Jeremy says looking at Glen who is still back at the, not so subtle last night , comment. "So anyway ...before I was so rudely interrupted by"...and he stares at Glen. "No go ahead Jeremy finish your explanation" Glen tells him..."then you can explain to your johnson why he is only get five finger Frank for a few days." "Oh these two were made for each other" Will offers while he looks at Sonny laughing. "What I have here are...wait you're not serious are you? Jeremy says looking at Glen. Glen just flicks one end of the ticket he is holding under his chin. "Come on Jeremy...tell them what we have." Glen instructs him. Jeremy looks to Sonny and then to Will...but before he continues he looks back at Glen. "Seriously?" ..it was just a joke."Jeremy says. Glen continues flicking the ticket. Now dejected Jeremy just spits out "okay..we have two tickets a dinner cruise for you two tonight on the Seine." Jeremy says quickly. He then grabs Glen's ticket and puts it with his and hands them to Sonny then walks over to Glen. "Come on babe..I was only joking." Jeremy says to Glen who is milking this for all he can get. Will and Sonny now laughing out loud first stare at Jeremy trying to get his sex privileges back and then look at the tickets. "Wow this is cool...hey it says there is dancing and live music." Will says. "Ah..the music okay... the dancing...not so much." Sonny says. "Yeah..we'll see about that." Will says. "Hey it starts at 8:00." Will adds. We have a good 4 hours to kill you guys want just go for a walk around the city." "We are only here for a little over a week so may as well take in as much as I can." Sonny looks over at Glen and Jeremy, who is still pleading his case. "Hey guys...guys...GUYS..." Sonny finally yells. "What? Jeremy says as he turns to Sonny. "Thank you...now first...thank you so much for the tickets." "We thought it would be a nice going away present." Glen says then continues "and this is the last dinner cruise they will be having before you leave." Glen explains. "Well it is awesome guys thank you so much." Will says as he hugs each one of them. "But Sonny and I were just thinking since we only have a little over a week left and Sonny will still have classes next week...maybe we could just go walking around the city once more." The cruise doesn't start for four more hours. Glen looks at Will "That sounds great...can we leave him here?" pointing his finger at Jeremy. Will and Sonny just start to laugh again. "Okay give us a minute or two to get dressed and we will meet you out front." Will says. "Okay see you out front." Glen says as he walks toward the door and Jeremy coming up behind still trying to get back in his good graces.
Chapter 44: Chapter 44
Hey guys...This is going to seem a bit silly but I am just posting this to let you guys know that my elementary story, and for you Will and Sonny story readers, will be put on hold for a little while. Not long. I started a completely new story the other night. It will be a Wilson story, that will have a beginning a middle and an end altogether. I will have it posted all at once but in chapters like my other stories. This one I am doing right now I don't think I have seen it done before and possibly because for your diehard Wilson people it would be VERY disturbing. I don't mean to sound all mysterious but trust me it will not be a story many Wilson readers would want to read. So I am just writing this note to let you know that those other stories will continue but I am going to finish this new thing first. Thanks for your support and for reading and I hope enjoying my stories.
Mike
Chapter 45: Chapter 45
To make things easier for Will and Sonny, Justin suggested that they ship their luggage home instead of bringing it on the plane. They are sitting in the dorm room waiting for Jeremy and Glen to show up. Sonny sitting on the bed and Will at the desk. Neither Sonny nor Will are looking forward to saying goodbye to either of them. They both have become fond of Glen. He turned out to be a perfect match for Jeremy which makes Sonny happy, knowing that Jeremy will have someone here for him when he is gone. But Sonny is particularly upset about leaving Jeremy. For these past few months Jeremy has been his rock. He has always been there for him when things looked like they were falling apart. Sonny is actually feeling a bit of anxiety over leaving. As much as he wants to go home with Will he is still leaving a piece of his life here. Despite everything that has happen this is the place where Will came back to him. So he will have more than fond memories of being here. But he is leaving his roommate, his friend, his confidant and in a way his savior. Sonny truly feels that had Jeremy not been here for him all this time he wouldn't have survived.
"So you two pea brains ready to go?" Jeremy yells as he walks in the dorm room. Will and Sonny stand up. Jeremy doesn't do sad very well so Sonny knows that this is Jeremy's way of coping. And it actually is endearing. He not only protects himself from the pain but he often helps others to cope as well, however unintentionally. "Nice ...real nice...pea brain on my last day here...that's what you got...pea brain?" Sonny says trying his own brand of Jeremy to help him get through this. "Hey I got up late I didn't have time to come up with a wittier line so live with it." Jeremy retorts. "Yeah we are all set...luggage has been shipped just waiting for the taxi to take us to De Gaulle." Will says. "I wish you guys would let us go with you, to see you off" Glen says. "Thanks..but it is going to be hard enough doing it here in private never mind doing it in the middle of an airport in front of thousands of people" Sonny says. "And by it you mean goodbye right? "Because if you were talking about the other ,it, and you were willing to do it in the middle of and airport...hell I'd go anyway." "Just to watch" Jeremy say. "Oh my God can you ever be serious?" Glen says as he slaps the back of Jeremy's head. "What?...serious is seriously overrated." Jeremy says "And ouch by the way." He says looking at Glen.
Sonny and Will are smiling at the way these two have reached a comfort with each other so quickly. It takes some of the sadness Sonny is feeling for Jeremy away. Another student walks by and sticks his head in...hey guys, two things...one sorry to see you go guys it was cool having both of you here..and two your taxi is here. "Okay thank Dev." Sonny says. Sonny walks over to Jeremy already with tears in his eyes. He throws his arms around him, Speaking into his ear directly. "I probably wouldn't be here right now had it not been for you buddy." "I owe you more than I can repay you." "I know it seems like we are joking when we are saying it" Sonny starts to choke up..."but I do love you like a brother man in every way." "I am going to miss you." Sonny says as he tightens his grip on Jeremy. "I love you like a brother too man." "You, Will and Glen are pretty much the only family I have now so i'm going to be the brother from hell and be talking to you a lot on Skype so you better pick up." Jeremy says. "Always brother ...always." Sonny replies. They release each other. Glen sees Jeremy crying a bit and he rubs his back. Will walks over to Jeremy. "Come here you crazy bastard" Will says as he pulls Jeremy to him. Will speaking to Jeremy during the embrace."Thank you for taking care of Sonny when I couldn't." "There is nothing I can say that could express what that means to me." "You are family Jeremy..and we are just a plane ride over the pond so anytime you need us or you want to come over we will be waiting with open arm man." "I love you." Will say. Jeremy pushes Will back..."okay enough of this sentimental crap, your taxi is waiting." "Sonny walks to Glen and give him a hug..."Take care of one for me will you?" "Got ya covered Sonny" Glen continues. "And if he shows up at your doorstep...just look behind him..and I will be there." "I hope so Glen I really do." Sonny says. Sonny backs away. "Dude you and I are odd man out here, the strangers in this mix." Will says to Glen as he hugs him. "I know ...we should have some huge emotional moment here but really Will...you guys have been great to me...letting be a part of your little family here." "I will truly miss you guys and we do plan on coming over to see you over next break." Glen says. "That will be awesome" Will says. "We might be able to convince you to stay." Will say with a laugh.
"Okay come on guys this is costing you money...get out to the taxi" Jeremy says. "Let me grab my coat." Sonny say. "I'll get it" Jeremy says. Sonny turns to Glen..."so you have our...". Jeremy walks over and grabs Sonny's coat and slips an envelope into the inside pocket and walks over and hands the coat to Sonny. ..."right and the other numbers are places you might be able to reach us at." Sonny says. They all start to walk out. Will walks beside Glen and Sonny and Jeremy walk out together. "I gave all our contact info to Glen so you can reach us 24/7." "And I expect to hear from you at the very least once a week...the very least Jeremy...I am not joking." Sonny says. "I hear ya." Jeremy says almost in a mumble to keep from crying. They reach the cab and exchanges hugs again. "Call us when you get home." Glen says. "We will." Sonny says as he gets in the cab with Will. "Love you guys" Sonny say. "We love you too" Glen says but Jeremy can bring himself to look at them. Sonny jumps out of the taxi and hugs Jeremy hard this time. "I love you Jeremy." "I love you too Sonny." They hold the embrace until Glen interrupts them. "Come on Sonny you have to go." "I know ...I know"...Sonny says not wanting to let go but finally does. "Bye guys." Sonny says not willing to look back now afraid he might never leave if he sees how much pain Jeremy is in right now. He close the cab door and the cab pulls away. Sonny turns to Will and just let's go as Will holds him. Glen leads Jeremy back to the dorm room. Once the door is closed Jeremy decomposes and Glen just hugs him and let's him get it out. "It's not forever babe...we will see them again soon." Glen says.
Will and Sonny are sitting at the gate for boarding. Sonny hasn't spoken much since they left Jeremy and Glen. Will is not going to push it...he will let Sonny come around in his own time. But for now Sonny is just leaning his head on Will's shoulder. Over the PA they hear an announcement. First in French, then in German and then in English. It is announcing that the flight for Chicago is now boarding. "That's us babe...let's go." Will says to Sonny as he takes his hand. They walk to the gate hand their boarding passes to the attendant and then walk down the jet bridge to the plane. They arrive at the door and hand the boarding passes once more to another attendant who directs them to the business class section.
"Here we are" Will said directing Sonny to the center 3 seats. "You have the aisle and I have the middle seat." He said. They both sat down and waited as passengers boarded. The Business Class was filling up when a middle aged man took the seat next to Will. He looked over at Sonny and Will holding hands and Sonny's head resting on Will's shoulder. He signaled for the flight attendant. "May I help sir." she asked. "Yes I would like to move my seat please." Will can hear the conversation. "I'm sorry sir but this flight is full." "Is there a problem with the seat itself?" "Not exactly." as he tilts his head and moves his glance toward Will and Sonny. "I am sorry sir I don't understand, there isn't a problem with the sit?" she asked. "No there isn't I would just prefer not to sit next to them." he says as he tilts his head toward Will again. Will calmly realizing that what the man is referring to, says to the flight attendant a bit louder than was required. "He doesn't wish to sit next to two gay men is what he is trying to tell you." Will then looked at the gentleman and leans towards him.."It's not contagious ..did you know that...perhaps you didn't know that." "Does that information help you feel better." Will says to the man. Sonny lifts his head realizing Will is about to get into with this man. "I am sorry sir is that the reason for your request to change seats." The man is now feeling uncomfortable because others in the cabin are starting to stare at them. "Yes I don't wish to be sitting next to them and I would like my seat changed." Well sir as I stated this flight it full we do not have an empty seats to move you too." "Excuse me Ms...excuse me..." The flight attendant excuses herself from the man and looks at the gentleman that is addressing her. "I am sorry sir I will be right with you." she say. "Yes well I may be able to help you with your inconvenience." he says. The flight attendant looks at him confusingly. "I don't mind swapping seat with this gentleman if he is too upset to sit next to those two young men." the older gentleman says. "Well thank you very much sir." she says. "Would his seat be far enough away from these young men to make you feel as though you won't catch it sir?" No one in the cabin missed the slam but she maintained her cool through the whole exchange." That would be fine." the man says embarrassingly. "Well then" addressing the older gentleman. "I want thank you for your kind offer sir." the flight attendant says."If you wouldn't mind changing that would be wonderful." The man sitting next to Will stands up and everyone is staring at him. He walks back to the older gentleman's seat and the older gentleman approaches the seat next to Will. The flight attendant thanks the older man and rolls her eyes. The older gentleman sits down. "Hello William." Will turns quickly at the surprise that someone would know him. "Oh my goodness...Sonny,... this is the gentleman I house sat for in Lucerne." Will says in shock. "What are the chances." Will says. "Thank you for what you did sir." Sonny says. "Yes, well that gentleman doesn't know what he is in for." "Sitting next to my wife for the whole flight will be punishment enough for him." "She brought her Blossom Scrapbook." "I am sure you both remember Blossom." "She will be bending his ear for the whole flight." "So he will know more about our dog than I do by the time the plane lands." Both Will and Sonny laugh. "So William I gather this is the young man that tickled your fancy while we were away?" "That he is sir...that he is." Will and the gentleman continue to talk and Sonny sits up and starts to take off his coat. He notices the envelope sticking out and pulls it out of the pocket. He sees it simply says Sonny on it.
Dear Sonny,
You know I'm not good with words and I tend to use humor to get me out of awkward situations. I knew that I would not be able to say to you face to face what I want to say. So I am writing you this letter to tell you.
As you know I have pretty much lost my family. So to compensate I latched on to you. And yes I did fall in love with you. But as I look back on it now and I see how I feel about Glen I know that what I was feeling for you was not the romantic love it was familial love. You filled a void in me that my family made and as much as you think I held you together you did the same for me you just never knew it. And I am sorry that I never told you that. Your friendship was a Godsend to me. You and Will opened my eyes and helped me get over this hurdle that I was so afraid of. I could be me around you both. That gave me a confidence to take a chance with Glen and it has worked out great. So while I told you I would help you find Will in Lucerne no matter what. The exact opposite happen. You helped me find Glen. And in doing that you help me find me. Yes I am sadder than I can say to see you go, I have Glen here now. And I can count on him and he on me when we have rough times like this. Once school is over for me here, and I hope Glen and I are as strong as you and Will, I will be coming home. To both of you. Because yes we joke about being brothers Sonny, you and Will are my brothers probably closer than most brothers are. We have seen each other at our worse and at our best and our love for each other never wavered. So when the time comes and I need a home to go to it will be where ever you and Will are. I love you Sonny and being your friend and brother means more to me than a million letters could tell you. So know that I will see you again and you will always be in my heart. Oh and by the way if you two ever get married and I am not the best man...you will be dog meat. And trust me I know what dog meat is...so do you ...we have been eating at the same cafeteria for the past two years. But joking aside please tell Will thank you for everything he did for me and that I love him and look forward to seeing both soon.
Love
Your brother
Jeremy.
Chapter 46: Chapter 46
"What do you have there Sonny?" Will asked. "Oh it is a letter from Jeremy, he must have slipped it in my pocket when he went to get my coat in the room." Sonny says as he hands it to Will. "You can read it if you like." "Some of it is actually addressed to you." Will takes it and starts to read it. Sonny watches Will's face for reactions and gets what he expects. Will starts to shed a tear at the words in the letter. "He really is a great guy Sonny...you are lucky to have been placed together." Will says. "Some one was definitely looking out for you both." Will adds. Will's friend has fallen asleep and Will takes this chance to talk to Sonny about what they can expect when they land.
"So should we talked about the elephant on the plane?" Will asks. "Well to be honest Will I don't know what to say about it." "I can only guess what will happen." "First my dad is going to be fine and actually happy we are home." "My mom, that is a whole other story." Sonny says. Will response, "Well like you said when you talked to your dad, he has laid the foundation for you, so you aren't starting from ground zero." Will offers. "Will I am not so much worried about me here...my mom will learn to accept me, I know she will." "I am concerned about you."
"Me?" "Why are you worried about me?" Will asks. Sonny gives him a don't play dumb look. "Where do we begin here?" Sonny starts. "First your parents don't have a clue, in fact I don't think I have heard you even talk about them since your initial conversation with them about the change of plans." "So you will be starting with a deficit here." "They are already mad because you didn't come home when they planned for you to." "Then to spring the whole gay thing on them on top of that." "Can you say adding fuel to the fire?" Sonny says. "And then, though I will do everything I can to protect you from her, my mom is going to pull the blame card from the deck." "She already blames my dad for not stopping us but she will be placing blame on you because she will think you lead me down this road." Sonny says. "Sonny your mom can point the finger anywhere she wants." "We both know that it isn't true." "We have felt this way about each other since the first day we met." "Before we even knew what gay was." "So she can go off on me or not speak to me or do whatever, but as long as you're with me I can handle it." Sonny squeeze Will's hand.
"Well I only have to deal with one of my parents with you it will have both." Sonny says. "Well I will admit that I am not looking forward to that, but to be honest, it's really is their problem." "I am just going to be who I am." "If they love me then they will have to accept that." "Now will there be some shouting, will they internalize this and question whether they are the cause, and will they point at finger at you?" "Yes, yes and yes." Will says. "Will, what are you going to do if it takes a turn for the worse?" Sonny asked. "You mean what if they reject me?" "Yes" Sonny says. "Well you got an extra bed in the mansion?" Will says jokingly. "No, but seriously, I don't really know what I will do." "I think some of my relatives will be okay with it." "Some are a bit more progressive than others." "I think if I had to, I could probably stay with one of them." "But as I said no matter how this plays out I am going to try to get my grandma Caroline to let me stay in the loft." "So we will see how that pans out." "I know there is one relative that I won't seek help from." "Who's that?" Sonny asked. "My aunt Jen." She is a religious freak and thinks that being gay is a sin so I am not looking to her for any support." Will says with a little laugh.
"Well we can speculate all we want but we won't know anything until we are home." Will say. "Am I nervous?" "I would be lying if I said I wasn't." "But Sonny the fact is, there is nothing we can do about it." "It is what it is." "We are in love and that is a fact." "Them getting all mad or sad or upset or whatever they get, won't change how I feel about you, and it certainly won't keep me away from you." Will said. "Will nothing is going to keep us apart anymore." Sonny says.
"Excuse me William." his friend says as he taps Will on the shoulder. "Oh Mr. Simmons." "I am sorry we didn't mean to wake you." Will says. "Oh you didn't William, you didn't." "But I couldn't help overhearing your conversation." "Sorry for eavesdropping." He says. Will just smiles. "But if I may." "The Mrs. and I own a very small apartment in Sherman, which I believe is the next town over from you." "We will actually be staying there when we get to Chicago." "Well we will only be in the states for a week and then the apartment will be empty again." "So if things become too much for you or you find yourself with no place to go please, you can stay there until you can find a more permanent situation." He say. Will looks at him with gratitude. "I don't' know what to say sir." Will says. "Don't say anything I took the liberty of writing down the address and instructions on how to get in while you two were talking." We have a neighbor that keeps an eye on it while we are abroad." "She has a spare key so you can contact her when you plan to come over if it comes to that. " I have everything on this piece of paper." He says as he hands it to Will.
"Sir if I may ask," Sonny starts, "and I don't mean to sound doubtful or ungrateful in anyway, but you seem to be very open minded about this and I am a bit surprised that someone of you generation would be so accepting." "And please I don't mean to put down your generation at all it is just somewhat unusual." Sonny says. "No I understand completely Sonny, it is Sonny right?" "Yes sir, it is." "Well Sonny without going into too much detail, when I was in college, back in the day," He says with a little joking inflection. "My roommate was gay." "Of course in those days it was never discussed." "While it went on and people knew about it no one ever openly admit they were gay or that they were fine with someone they knew being gay." "Well anyway, my roommate told me about himself." "I, ashamedly so upon reflection, was upset at first." "But I promised him that I would never mention it to anyone." "I mean we were roommates after all and there was a degree of loyalty and trust that comes with that arrangement." "Which I am sorry to say no longer seems to be the case." "Well on occasion he would have a young man back to our room under the guise of they were going to be studying." "I would take my leave and let them have the room for as long as they wanted." "Well this went on for the first year." "The second year we requested to be roommates again since we knew each other and had become friends." "Well the same arrangement was in place as we had set up the first year."
"So one day when he had a guest over he neglected to lock the door to the room." "Well one of our classmates just walked into our room, as it was known to happen, without knocking, and found my roommate engaged with his friend." "The classmate quickly left the room and then proceeded to spread the word about my roommate and what he saw going on." "This sent my roommate into a tailspin of sorts." "While I attempted to defend him to the other classmates as best I could, they were relentless on him." "Well one day at the end of classes I went back to my room and discovered my roommate hanging from the water pipes." "He had committed suicide." Will and Sonny both cringe at hearing the word. "He left me a note explaining that he couldn't take the abuse any longer and felt the only way to escape it was to kill himself." "Well, to use a term common today, that was a wake up call to me." "I never got over that and I decided at that point that I would never judge another person for who they were." "So for me I simply look at people and judge them only by their character, because when it comes down to it that's all that matters." "Gay, straight mean nothing." "Are you a good person?" That is what matters." He concludes.
"Well first let me say how sorry I am that you had to go through that sir." "I can't begin to imagine what that must have been like for you." Sonny say. "But while that is a terrible situation you both found yourself in you were able to see if for what it was and were able to adapt and adjust to a changing world and for that I give you great credit." "I wish more people could make that adjustment as you have before they have to be confronted with a tragic situation like you were." "I am sorry that I pushed you to talk about it." Sonny says. "Oh it is not your doing Sonny." "But I have never told anyone that story before." "Not even my wife." "You two are the only ones who know it." Will put his hand on Mr. Simmons arm. "Thank you trusting us and sharing that with us." "No thank you for listening, it was good to let that out after all these years." A tear rolls down his cheek. "It has been a burden to carry around alone." "I am grateful to you both for letting me tell you and for not judging me as someone who didn't do more to help." "I think sir, your attitude today is a tribute to your roommate. " "I am sure he would be proud of you." Will says. Mr. Simmons pats Will's hand.
Ding, ding all three look up and the fasten your seat belt light goes on." The PA system clicks in. "Attention please, we are making our final descent into O'Hare International Airport, please fasten your seat belts and make sure all loose items are placed under the seat in front of you... Will and Sonny look at each other. Will leans in and gives Sonny a quick kiss on the lips. "Salem here we come." Sonny says as he gives Will's hand a squeeze.
