"Um...ok...Thanks" Sonny said quickly as he hung up his cell and shoved it in his pocket as if he were hiding something. "Who was that" Will asked as he grabbed his shoes from the floor and walked over to the couch to sit down. "Oh, just one of my employees. I had called to see how things were going at the coffee house. No big deal" Sonny said with a shrug of his shoulders. "Is everything ok" Will asked with concern. "It's fine...Are you ready" Sonny asked excitedly as he stood in front of the door and slipped his coat on. "Ready" Will replied as he finished tying his shoe. He glanced up at Sonny with a smile, grabbed his coat from beside him, and the two headed outside, sleds in hand.
Will and Sonny spent the entire day outside in the snow. They raced down that hill, in the distance, more times than they could count. They played like kids, laughing and enjoying the outdoors... and each other. Sonny knew Will didn't have much of a childhood and wanted him to be able to enjoy a simple pleasure, such as snow, even if it were just for a day. As he peeked around a tree trunk, Will felt a splat on his back. "Got You" Sonny snickered with a smile as Will turned around with a big snowball splatted on the back of his coat. "I'll pay you back for that one later" Will said as he glared at Sonny with his focused blue eyes. "Is that a promise" Sonny asked with a devilish tone. Will smiled "It's definitely a promise" he said firmly. "You hungry" Sonny said as he walked closer to Will. "I'm starved. And cold. Lets call it a day" Will replied. Sonny put one hand out and Will reached out and held it. They headed back down the snowy hill hand in hand. Just a simple gesture of holding hands was completely filled with love and they both knew it.
As they approached the cabin, Will said "I had a good time today, Sonny, thank you". "Don't thank me yet" Sonny replied with a smile as he stood holding the door open for Will to go inside. As soon as Will stepped inside the front door of the cabin , he was silenced. He slowly took his hat and gloves off as he starred in amazement. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. The scene was of a beautiful candlelit dinner for two. The small dining table was set with a full course meal and a bottle of wine. There were lit candles on the end tables and the fire was crackling. "How did you do it" Will asked with a tear trickling down his cheek. "Well...that phone call earlier...it wasn't the coffee house. It was Uncle Vic. I wanted to make our last night here special, so I had him pull some strings" Sonny said as he walked closer to Will, tenderly kissing his tear away. "Come on, lets get these wet clothes off and enjoy a nice dinner" Sonny said as he put the sleds back in the closet.
After eating their food and sipping a little wine, Will and Sonny cuddled on the couch in front of the fire with the warm quilt and a cup of cider. Will was playfully reluctant, at first, but Sonny assured him no one would be wearing the cider the second time around. "Well, the weekend turned out good, don't ya think" Sonny said with a sigh. "It was better than good" Will said as he placed one arm around Sonny and pulled him closer. "It was perfect, Sonny. I love you" Will said as he gently kissed Sonny's soft lips. "I love you too, Babe. You ready to head back to Salem tomorrow" Sonny asked as he looked into his man's eyes. Will tenderly kissed Sonny, again, and replied "With you by my side, Sonny Kiriakis, I'm ready for anything that comes my way. Happy Anniversary". As he rested his head on Will's shoulder Sonny smiled that half devilish smile and said "I love you, Will, Happy Anniversary. Now...on to that promise you made me".
