Six

Sonny groaned as light filtered through the window waking and making him want to kill himself. He remembered being dragged out to drink by Abigail and that he had started drinking tequila. He vaguely remembered Ben calling Will for him but after that everything was fuzzy and he moved to sit up only to run to the bathroom as he lost everything. He heaved wanting to kill himself for drinking so much and he curled around the toilet laying his head on his arm knowing if he moved that he was going to die. He heard footsteps and knew it was his husband but he couldn't move he was in too much pain not even the sound of running water made him move.

"I don't think I've ever seen you drunk before or even hung over really," his husband commented.

"There's a reason I don't drink," Sonny groaned out his head hurting.

"You know you're talkative when you're drunk," the blonde commented putting a wet washcloth on the back of the brunette's neck making him moan in appreciation.

"I'm afraid to ask what I said," he said just wanting all the noise to stop and die.

"You said that you loved me and you wished that I hadn't cheated because it would make working things out so much easier. You also said that one of the main reasons you wanted to save our marriage was because every time you thought about life without me your heart broke and you couldn't imagine one without us together with our little girl," Will told him putting a hand on his husband's back.

Will had been given a sense of hope hearing those words spoken to him though considering how drunk Sonny had been he was a little afraid that they weren't true but he would deal with that later. There had been numerous times that Sonny had taken care of him when he had been drunk but never had the situation been reversed until now. He grimaced seeing his husband's pain and took the washcloth away ignoring the protest. Will was going to take the opportunity to take care of his husband like Sonny had done for him so many times.

"I know you don't remember last night but I'm sure it will come back some time today so don't worry about it," the blonde reassured surprising the brunette by picking up him bridal style.

"Will," he protested the movement jarring his head.

"Let me take care of you," he said to his hung over husband.

Sonny sighed wanting to tell Will that the words he spoke while drunk were true but his head hurt and he just wanted to curl up in a ball and die. He sighed curling up in his husband's arms his head burying itself in the blonde's neck. He groaned in protest once again at being set down but curled in a ball around the pillows thanking everything when Will closed the curtains making the room dark again. He felt his husband's hand run through his hair and he sighed in appreciation at the gesture.

"I meant it now stop thinking," Sonny grunted out knowing without looking at the blonde was over thinking things.

"Okay," the blonde said smiling softly.

The tension between them wasn't as thick as it had been before and they had put a hold on going to therapy wanting to see if they could work this out themselves first. Will sure as hell hoped they could and he was ever thankful for Marlena's guidance because without her he might have lost complete control. She had pointed out a few harsh truths to him one night about how he had started turning into Sami. He loved his mother but he didn't want to be like her and he realized that once the truth of the one night between him and Paul came out he had started acting like her. It wasn't something Will wanted or tried to do and thinking on it now he could only claim temporary insanity on it. Sonny still wouldn't let him see him naked and if they kissed it was only light. It was progress though and they held each other when they slept so the blonde wasn't going to complain.

"Ari's with my dad for the morning and Chad is taking care of the club," the blonde whispered softly rubbing his husband's neck hearing the moan of appreciation.

"I hate alcohol," he groaned leaning into the hand rubbing his neck.

"Why did you drink that much? Did you have something to celebrate? Or did you drink to forget?" Will asked curious keeping his voice low.

"Technically it was to celebrate because Victor gave me his club after I asked though he also told me he was going to find a way to get Chad out of being my partner," Sonny said wanting to hit Will for making him talk but the massage to his neck had helped clear his head slightly.

"Do you want me to make you something?" the blonde asked.

"Will I love you but you burn water," Sonny said touched that his husband wanted to try to make him something but imagining all the things that could go wrong with that because he had tasted the man's cooking and it was not good.

"How about I order soup from the pub and go pick it up for you?" Will asked holding back a laugh but knowing that his husband was right.

"That sounds like a good idea," the brunette agreed but groaned when the hand moved away, "Wait not yet."

"I'll wait till you fall asleep again," the blonde reassured.

With Will rubbing his neck with one hand and his back with the other it didn't take long for Sonny to fall back asleep. The blonde hadn't meant to ask about his reasons for drinking but after watching his father become an alcoholic for years he felt like he needed to know. Sonny didn't seem like the type to turn into that but he just needed to reassure himself. He pressed a kiss to Sonny's head and left to go get him some soup knowing that anything else would probably make him throw up considering how much he had drank last night. There was hope for their marriage and it felt like there wasn't a death sentence hanging over them anymore. Could their love really be saved?

So I'm thinking of ending this story soon. It just feels like it's almost that time. I am thinking of one more chapter for sure. If there is anything that you as my readers want to see them cover or talk about before I end this please comment.
