Will didn't remember when he got home. He didn't remember holding his sons hands as he told them Sonny wasn't coming home. He didn't remember falling asleep, but he remembered the dream as he woke up screaming.
Will's Dream
Sonny just looked at Will. His chocolate eyes filled with tears as he looked at the never-ending ocean which wear Will's. He touched his hands and the cold touch warmed his body. He was used to the cold feeling he had from wondering endlessly, but his Will, Sonny's world was complete. They were at arms lengths but everything they felt was poured into a passionate kiss they gave each other.
They felt each other's pain and anger. They told stories, yet no words were spoken. What seemed like minutes turned to hours. They never let go and they breathed for each other. When they finally pulled apart they just looked at their love. Everything was perfect, until Sonny Cupped Wills face, and he couldn't feel it.
He began to panic, and Will wrapped him into an embrace and held him as he faded. He looked at his blue-eyed angel and saw the sun began to rise. Tears flowed out of his eyes and he held tighter.
"Will," he finally managed to say, "I'm so sorry."
"You have nothing to be sorry for," Will smiled which melted sonny's fading heart, "I could never be mad at you for saving those people. Or waiting to say goodbye. I love you Kiriakus and you're the most perfect person I could have asked for."
"No, I left you."
"Learn to take a complement Kiriakus," the hug started to feel like nothing but air, "I was so proud of you."
"I love you so much."
"I know, I do too, "He placed a kiss on Sonny's forehead before he just was gone, just a shadow. He didn't shed a tear because he was going hold sonny for as long as he could. He notices sonny's breathing speed up as his solid body became light and Will reassured him that he was going to be okay.
Sonny pulled away from the hug, so they could see each other's face. Sonny's eyes where the brightest thing Will ever saw, "I will spend every day missing you," Sonny cried.
"I spent a year missing you, just wait a little longer." Sonny nodded, and he disappeared. Will's heavy burden in his heart faded as a single tear escaped his eye. A tear of not sadness but of joy, because he knew sonny was waiting for him.
"Dad, Ari cried as she came into the room. She ran into his arms crying. He held her tight as she screamed that she could no longer see sonny. He grabbed her hand and they walked to the fire place. He took both of the rings and put them on the mantel in front of a picture of Sonny.
"We are lucky," Will said, Ari looked up with tears and said,"Why?"
"We got to say goodbye."
"ahhhh," Will yelled, He opened his eyes but couldn't see, because even in sleep he was still crying. He couldn't believe that he thought saying goodbye would ever make this pain any less, the pain of losing Sonny was killing him. Marlena and Sami came in, they said no words as they hugged him as he cried. His world would never be the same, the worst part was, that people expected him to move on, and that will hurt more than anything.
