Bonus ideas I had that didn't fit in the story/ I didn't want to write out.

#1 Xander

The way I see it Xander originally slept with Will only as a means to annoy Sonny. But, sleeping with Will ended up being hotter than Xander anticipated. So, Xander gained a little bit more respect for Will which meant he wouldn't completely throw him under the bus to hurt Sonny. But he'd still try.

So, I imagine Xander's been scheming ways to get the CEO position away from Brady and Sonny and apparently Chad. Which culminates in some big Titan party to announce the CEO and Xander not so innocently insists Will has to report on it. Originally, after Xander gets the position, he planned to have Sonny + others find him and Will in a compromising position. But Will brings Paul with him which puts a damper on Xander's plans. And, because no one's plans ever work out, Xander doesn't get the CEO job. I don't know who would, a big surprise long lost Kiriakis like Philip or someone.

Which somehow ends up with Xander, Sonny, and Brady commiserating together. Sonny says something annoying. Brady says something back. They're all bickering like children and somehow the topic gets on Will when Brady and Xander gang up on Sonny. Which results in Xander, in a much less dramatic but nonetheless satisfying reveal of knowing exactly why Sonny obsesses over Will.

Followed by Will walking into the room with Paul. Where Brady is laughing hysterically. Sonny looks seconds away from having a coronary and Xander shakes Paul's hand with a vague pronouncement about Paul being a lucky bastard. Kisses Will on the side of the mouth, slaps him on the ass, and waltzes out again.

Leading to Paul giving Will a judgmental look and Will responding with something like, "Picture him shirtless with his mouth preoccupied."

#2 Brian

Brian gets taken off of Will's study due to an anonymous tip that Brian and Will were crossing the doctor/patient line. Kayla takes Brian aside and lets him walk away from the study himself so she doesn't have to make a report/reprimand him. And by anonymous I mean Paul. Paul reported it in an uncharacteristic bought of possessiveness/feeling spiteful. And because he's Paul, he immediately confessed to Will who made fun of him for feeling bad about it. Which leads to yet another roll in the hay.

Also, I imagine Sonny finding out about Will and Brian too. Maybe conveniently at the hospital. Perhaps Ari falls off her bike or twists her ankle at dance class. Will overreacts and goes straight to the hospital. Brian's on call and checks Ari over. Sonny shows up and is rather surprised to see Brian. And he's even more surprised when Will, freaking out over Ari, turns to Brian for comfort. All leading up to Kayla coming by to check on Ari and is exasperated to see Brian with Will. And she inadvertently blabs that Brian knows he can't be around Will if they used to sleep together.

Cue Sonny freaking out. Will not having time for Sonny's bullshit. Brian just trying to do his job and only having some residual feelings for Will. Kayla apologizing for not speaking to Brian in private. So, of course, Paul would show up then and make things worse/better.

Thanks to everyone who followed/favorited/reviewed or simply read. I appreciate all of you. I have a few ideas for potential stories. Hopefully, I get around to writing them.

Thanks again.
