The Comfort of a Bubble Bath
Sonny knelt in front of Will with remorse showing. "Guess I said the wrong thing."
"No, you didn't do or say anything wrong. Do you mind if we just not talk about it?" asked Will.
Sonny shook his head with understanding. "I don't mind at all."
Will kissed him gently and they joined in a hug with Sonny rubbing his back to comfort Will.
~oOo~
"I have just the right thing to make you feel better."
"I don't think if that's possible right now," whispered Will.
"Just give it a try. You can stay right here while I get things ready."
That got Will's attention. He watched with curiosity as he turned the bath water on and then came back to search the kitchen cabinets obviously having difficulty finding what he wanted. Eventually he pulled out two jars and a box of matches and showed them to Will with pride.
"What are those?"
"Candles."
"Candles in a jar? Okay."
"Last Christmas, my mom was appalled by my lack of Christmas cheer in my apartment." Sonny rolled his eyes.
"You didn't decorate at all?"
"No, I did. It just wasn't to her standards. I had a tiny three foot fake tree that came with white lights and then I raided Mom's Christmas box for a few ornaments. That was enough for me."
"So she brought candles… in a jar?" asked Will in amusement.
Sonny's brilliant and contagious smile lit his face. "Yeah, one smells like pine needles and one smells like Christmas cookies."
He pulled Will up by the hand and led him to the bathroom where he set down the candles on the small counter and lit them. Now that the water was running warm, he closed the plug. Wish I had jets, but this is an economy apartment."
"I'm sure you were used to such luxuries at the Kiriakis mansion."
"I won't lie. It has its perks," Sonny admitted as he reached for bubble bath underneath the sink.
"Bubble bath?" Will laughed. "I'm used to that for my little brother and sisters."
"Stop laughing. It's very relaxing."
Will grabbed the bottle from him. "Or so the bottle advertizes. It includes aroma therapy? This bathroom is going to smell like a Christmas party mixed with girly stuff."
Sonny grabbed it back. "Give that to me. It's not girly." He poured a generous amount under the running water in the bathtub. Then he pulled Will in for a short sweet kiss. "You're going to love it." Sonny started freeing Will of his clothes from top to bottom.
Will admitted silently to himself that the water felt nice.
"Here. This bath pillow behind your back will make it more comfortable." Sonny helped adjust the pillow behind Will. "I don't want to force you into anything so tell me no if you're not comfortable with it."
Will raised his eyebrows wondering what exactly he had in mind.
"I can round up some sleep clothes if you'd like to stay. You probably will want to curl up and go to sleep after your bath," explained Sonny.
"You're not joining me?"
"I was pampering you, not trying to get anything from it, Will."
"Well, if that's the case, the pampering won't be complete without you."
Sonny's predatory smile emerged on it's own. "If you insist." He quickly rid himself of his clothes and carefully got in the tub behind Will as he requested.
