Date Night Continued
"How do you know so much about baseball?" Paul asked Will as he finished laughing at a story Will finished telling.
"I used to play," Will shrugged as he moved closer to Paul. The wind was beginning to pick up making the air rather chilly. At the beginning of their date there was a slight nip in the air but nothing like this.
Will didn't mind the extra excuse to be cuddle up to Paul. Clearing his throat, Will added, "Not like you, just in high school. But I've watched all my life so I've picked things up."
"Hmm," Paul mused as he wrapped his arm around Will's waist, "I bet you looked hot in your uniform."
"I looked hot?" Will scoffed. "Have you seen yourself in those pants?"
Paul laughed, "I know I looked good."
"We should do that sometime," Will suggested as he fondly shook his head. Before Paul's cockiness would make him feel insufficient but now Will was just amused.
"Do what? Wear baseball pants and try to keep our hands off of each other?" Paul wondered as he rubbed his hand up and down Will's side.
"…OK we can do that too," Will agreed easily. "But I was talking about playing baseball, going to a batting cage or something."
"We could teach Ari," Paul suggested, smiling as he thought about giving her a baseball cap and one of those plastic t-ball sets.
"She would like that," Will nodded. "Plus I think she'd have a real affinity for hitting things."
"Now we know what to do next time we go to the park," Paul said. "Although maybe not until the weather gets better," he mused as he looked up at the storm clouds gathering above them.
"Yeah," Will shivered slightly. "Maybe we should start heading back. It looks like it might rain soon."
Paul nodded before turning them around and back towards the car and the restaurant.
"It's really getting bad," Will told Paul from the passenger seat. His face was pressed against the window and yet he still could hardly see anything from the sudden downpour.
"The sign back there said there should be lodgings up here," Paul reached over and patted Will on the knee in reassurance. "I think it's probably best if we just stay the night."
"Yeah," Will nodded as he chewed his bottom lip. "I don't want anything to happen."
"Me either," Paul replied. He didn't even want to think about the possibility of anything happening to Will.
"This is us," Paul told Will as they ran the short way from the car to the motel room, trying not to get too wet.
Paul frowned at the shoddy accommodations but he supposed he couldn't be too picky at a time like this.
Will didn't care what it looked like as long as they weren't driving in that rain anymore.
"Feels kind of wrong," Paul commented with a grin.
"What does?" Will looked at Paul oddly.
"Seducing you in a different hotel room," Paul moved closer to Will as he dropped his sweater on the ground.
"Is that what you think you're doing?" Will hummed as he took off his jacket and hung it on the back of a chair.
"Oh, I know what I'm doing," Paul guaranteed. He bent down and took off his shoes, taking his time. Every movement he made was certain and assured. He knew exactly what he wanted tonight and he was going to get it.
"I know what I want," Paul stood up and reached his hand out for Will.
"Which is what?" Will asked feeling slightly exhilarated. Paul had such an effect on him when he talked like that.
"You'll just have to find out," Paul put his hands on Will's chest and pushed him onto the bed.
"Did you plan this?" Will asked as Paul stared down at him.
"Did I plan for it to rain and we'd be forced to stay in a hotel a few miles out of town?" Paul gave Will a half smile. "You're cute," he declared before pecking his lips and moving to lie on his side.
"You purposely took us to a place out of town," Will defended.
"I know I did," Paul placated as he reached his fingers up to run through Will's shortened hair. The entire time he knew Will his hair has always been slightly long and curled at the ends. The short hair made him look younger brought more attention to his face.
Paul wondered if there was something symbolic about that. If Will cutting his hair was Will opening up his face and his eyes to the rest of the world.
Will smiled at Paul and closed his eyes, enjoying the gentle touch to his scalp.
"Your hair looks nice like this," Paul murmured.
"Thanks," Will replied relaxing under Paul's ministrations. "You can't pull my hair when I give you head now though," Will teased.
"Small price to pay to see this," Paul rubbed his thumb down Will's cheek.
"You look relaxed, baby," Paul said. The term of endearment slipped out without even thinking.
"Tired," Will admitted. "I was so nervous about today."
"I was nervous too," Paul confessed. "I wanted tonight to go right. And no," Paul smiled, "I didn't plan to make a stop here. I wanted to do this right. Treat you like a gentleman, give you a proper first date."
Will reached up and placed his palm over Paul's, "I think this probably is more us anyway."
"I'm still planning on giving you the full gentleman treatment," Paul informed Will before laughing at his pout.
"Stay right here," Paul ordered as he gave Will a quick peck on the lips.
"Where am I gonna go?" Will asked rhetorically as Paul got off the bed.
Paul headed into the bathroom and smiled when he saw the complimentary samples on the counter. He grabbed the small bottle of lotion and came back to Will.
Paul sat on the edge of the bed and reached over to unbutton Will's shirt, "I want your clothes off."
"That doesn't sound very gentlemanly," Will smiled softly as he popped the button on his pants and wiggled out of the tight material.
"I'm a modern gentleman," Paul jibed watching as Will pushed off his shirt and lied against the pillows in nothing but his underwear.
"Now," Paul opened the bottle of lotion and rubbed some between his hands. "You just relax."
Will looked at Paul curiously, wondering what he was going to do.
Paul lifted up one of Will's arms and rubbed the lotion into his skin. Paul, concentrating on his hands massaging Will's muscles, said, "You've been so stressed out."
"It's nothing I can't handle," Will responded as he closed his eyes and sighed deeply.
"Your grandfather tried to interrogate you," Paul countered. "Then so did your grandma, your dad, and Adrienne. I've been on your case about keeping us a secret. Everyone seems to think our relationship is their business."
Paul switched to Will's other arm, "You're raising Ari all on your own. You've been writing more than usual. And you need to pack everything up and move."
"Paul-," Will tried to say even though the firm fingers pressing into his skin felt so nice.
"On top of all of that," Paul put some more lotion on his hands and ran them up and down Will's chest. "You somehow have spent almost all of your limited free time with me."
"You're such a hardship," Will teased.
Paul smiled before turning Will onto his stomach and rubbing along his back and sides. "I like to think I make things easier for you," Paul said. "But I don't know. Maybe I'm making it all worse."
"You're not," Will moved his head so he could look over his shoulder at Paul. "You are surprisingly one of the easiest parts of my day."
Paul nodded. That admission made him happier than he thought it would. "Easiest, huh?" Paul asked happily.
"Mmm hmm," Will inhaled and exhaled slowly. "In more than one way."
Paul snorted, amused. "Way to make me feel special, Horton," Paul chuckled as he tickled at Will's sides.
"Sorry," Will put his arms under his head. "I do think you're special," Will revealed. "You're one of the best people I know."
"Thank you," Paul said as he leaned over and kissed the back of Will's neck. "Have I mentioned how much I like being with you?"
"I think I gathered that when you asked me out," Will moaned slightly at Paul's lips on his skin. "But I like being with you too."
Once the lotion had sunk into Will's skin Paul asked, "Did that feel good?"
"Yes," Will purred feeling completely relaxed and boneless.
Paul traced his fingertips over the edge of Will's underwear. He wanted nothing more than to pull those over Will's curved backend and slide inside of him.
'But not tonight,' Paul decided. Will looked like he was going to fall asleep any moment.
Instead, Paul slipped off out of his own clothes, pulled down the blankets and reached out to drag Will against him.
Will adjusted until he was comfortable with Paul's arms wrapped around him. "I thought you were seducing me," Will whispered already half asleep.
"Morning," Paul promised.
"You're too good to me," Will replied before kissing the top of Paul's hand that was wrapped around Will.
"Not possible," Paul sighed as he rested his head near Will's and closed his eyes.
A Few Weeks Ago
"Your great-grandma owns a restaurant that you worked at and yet you have no idea how to cook?" Paul gave Will a sad shake of his head.
"I waited tables," Will complained as he read the instructions on the box and started stirring. "And I don't see you offering to help," Will pointed out.
"Is that the only place you worked?" Paul asked as he took the spoon from Will and took over stirring so Will could work on the rest of their dinner.
"No," Will replied. "I interned with EJ for a while."
"That's your mother's husband that you wrote that one article on?" Paul had to double-check. Will's life was much more complicated than he had anticipated.
"Yep," Will confirmed. "He was running for mayor and married to someone else."
"Is that before he got with your mom?" Paul wondered.
"In between being with my mom actually," Will said with a shrug.
"Then why were you working for him?" Paul really didn't understand how Salem worked.
"Blackmailed me into it," Will explained as he nudged Paul out of the way so he could open up the oven door.
Paul stared at Will oddly until closed the oven and turned to face him.
"I tried to blackmail him first," Will stated. "But he had better leverage. He'd probably be really ashamed of my attempts with your mom. I should really be an expert by now."
"I don't know how to take that statement," Paul told Will before going back to stirring.
Will made a face before saying, "I mean I'm really sorry I tried to blackmail your mom, truly. But realistically I should be better at it."
"Uh huh," Paul said before deciding to move on. "So, what happened to that job?"
Will watched Paul carefully. For a few moments there he forgot how different his upbringing was from Paul's.
'What is he even doing being around someone like me?' Will couldn't help but think.
Will winced before saying, "His father, Stefano, blackmailed me into telling my step-dad at the time something. EJ got upset I went through with it instead of confiding in him so he fired me."
"Someone blackmailed you while you were being blackmailed because you tried to blackmail someone?" Paul put the spoon on the counter and turned to face Will.
"Uh," Will looked everywhere but at Paul's face, "Yeah."
"Right," Paul nodded. "OK then."
Before Paul could say anything else Ari yelled at them from the couch.
"I'm hungry," Ari whined as she played with her castle and Little People.
"It's only a little bit longer," Will told her as he grabbed an apple and sliced it into pieces. "You can eat this until then."
Ari frowned. She was hoping she'd get more candy.
"Don't even try it, kid," Will told her as he brought her the apple slices.
"Fine," Ari sighed dramatically before crunching on a slice.
Will walked back over to the small kitchen and stood next to Paul.
Paul looked back and forth between Will and Ari curiously. He gazed at Will again and bit his lip.
"What?" Will felt slightly uncomfortable. He hated when Paul gave him that look. He thought they were getting passed all that awkwardness from before. Will didn't want to go back to feeling like Paul was judging his every move.
'I could have gone the rest of my life without Paul making me feel small again,' Will thought.
"I just kind of realized I have no idea how you have a daughter," Paul said. "I mean clearly she's yours. She has your features. But I don't really know much else."
"She's mine, yeah," Will nodded. "Right when I first came out I slept with my ex-girlfriend and I got her pregnant."
"Oh," Paul replied.
"Oh?" Will repeated.
"I just thought there would be more to it," Paul admitted.
Will pursed his lips, "There's more."
"Do you mind telling me?" Paul wondered.
"No, I guess not," Will sighed. "I slept with her before I started seeing Sonny. Then literally the very first time I had sex with Sonny she came knocking at his door looking for me to tell me."
"And because I'm me," Will looked at his feet. "I lied about it."
"You couldn't have lied about it for long," Paul nodded to where Ari was playing on the couch.
"I was going to," Will sighed. "Gabi, her mom, started dating my cousin and they wanted to pretend Ari was theirs. I somehow got it in my head that was a good idea. It all came out though at their wedding."
"Really?" Paul tried not to react visibly.
"Yeah," Will continued. "Chad came rushing in telling everyone Nick wasn't the father. And because I'm an idiot I decided to reveal that it was me. Everyone was mad. Sonny and I broke up. It was a mess."
"So," Will finished. "There you go."
Will really didn't want to tell Paul anything else about that time.
"Where is she now?" Paul asked.
"In jail," Will said quickly as the oven buzzed.
"For what?" Paul spat out completely surprised.
"Killing my cousin," Will confessed in a low voice so Ari wouldn't hear.
"What?" Paul thought his eyes might bulge out of his head.
"It's long and complicated," Will told Paul as he pulled their dinner out of the oven. "All you need to know is he was a creep and she did what she thought she had to."
"…Right," Paul nodded. "OK, I'm sure she did."
"I try to take Ari to visit Gabi as often as I can," Will explained almost defensively. "They deserve to know each other."
"I'm not saying they don't," Paul told Will.
"Because Gabi isn't a bad person," Will continued. "And I need Ari to know that-,"
"Will," Paul put his hands on Will's shoulders. "I know. I'm not saying that. I'm not saying anything close to that."
"You gave me that look," Will mumbled.
"Look? What look?" Paul defended.
"The look you used to give me all the time," Will clarified. "The one where you look at me like I'm something awful."
Before Paul had a chance to respond Will turned around and grabbed some plates, getting everything together for dinner.
Dinner was an awkward affair. Paul wasn't sure if Will expected him to leave or not.
Paul had realized a lot about Will Horton over the few weeks they had been getting closer. It was something he probably realized a long time ago but just never cared the way he did now.
'I'm not leaving. That's what Will expects. He thinks everyone is going to leave him in the end. That there's something wrong with him that means he isn't worth it,' Paul reminded himself as he watched Will cutting Ari's baked chicken.
'I'm not leaving,' Paul would wait until Ari was in bed to talk to Will, to get him to understand.
"Is she asleep?" Paul asked as Will carefully closed Ari's door.
"Yeah," Will said. "You didn't have to stay, you know?"
"If Ari wants me to watch Frozen than who am I to deny her?" Paul patted the couch cushion next to him. "And I needed to talk to you," Paul admitted.
Will sighed as he sat as far away from Paul as he could.
"Don't do that," Paul scooted closer to Will.
"Why?" Will wondered sadly.
Will didn't know why he was fooling himself into thinking Paul could accept who he was.
"Because I want you to be near me," Paul said as emphatically as he could.
"Right," Will nodded. "I forget sometimes."
"Forget what?" Paul wasn't following.
"That we're just having fun," Will stated. "Sometimes I forget that we're just," Will didn't know which word to use to describe them, "Friends."
"Don't say that," Paul shook his head as he reached out for both of Will's hands. "I think we both know that we're closer than that."
"Then why do you do that?" Will questioned, crossing his arms tightly. "Why do you still look at me like that?"
"I don't know," Paul said honestly. "I think I just don't understand. I don't know what it's like to be in your shoes."
"The only time anything bad ever happened to you is when you met me," Will whispered.
"That's not true," Paul denied. "OK, maybe things got more complicated once I met you but that's not your fault. I knew what I was doing just as much as you did. Every time you did something I did something right back."
"And it's true," Paul continued, "That I'm not used to the blackmailing and the jail time but I'm learning."
"It's not something you should learn," Will closed his eyes so he wouldn't have to look at Paul's open, honest eyes.
"If I live here maybe I should," Paul let go of Will's hands to touch his face and get him to open his eyes.
"I don't get it now, get you," Paul explained. "But I'm going to, if you let me. Friend or otherwise."
Will wasn't quite sure if he was ready for anything beyond what they had now but he appreciated what Paul was saying.
"It might take me a little bit longer to really believe that," Will admitted. "But thank you."
"I'm not going anywhere, Horton," Paul felt a smile slowly spreading across his lips. "So you better get used to me trying to break down those walls."
"Is that going to be a problem?" Will blurted out.
"Is what?" Paul questioned.
"My life is probably always going to be dramatic and crazy," Will wrapped his arms around himself and held onto his elbows. "I know you aren't like that," Will added. "So if that's going to be a problem you shouldn't stick around."
"Will," Paul stood up and held out his hand, "I had a nice, normal life before I got involved with you. Ever since I've met you my life has been one drama after another. You and I both know that I could be with anyone I wanted. And I'm still here with you almost every night."
Paul pulled Will off the couch, "I think that the no-drama ship sailed a long time ago."
Will stared at Paul for a few moments before saying, "If you ever blackmail someone I get to say I told you so."
"I tried to blackmail you once," Paul reminded Will as he started backing them up towards Will's bedroom.
"For two seconds," Will huffed out a chuckle.
"What exactly did I want from you?" Paul asked as he pulled Will's shirt out from where it was tucked into his pants.
"I think it was something about me having sex with you," Will said as if he had no idea.
Paul lifted his eyebrows up in mock surprise, "Sounds good to me."
"You gonna blackmail me again?" Will laughed. "You don't have anything to hold against me."
Paul popped the button on Will's jeans and said, "You sure about that?"
Will lifted an eyebrow as Paul yanked down his pants.
"I think you're going to sleep with me, right now," Paul ordered as Will stepped out of his pants. "Or else I'm going to tell everyone you're with me."
"You cannot be serious," Will didn't know if he should laugh or be worried.
"Oh, I'm serious," Paul started pulling off Will's shirt. "Right here, right now or everyone knows."
Will really didn't think Paul would go through with it.
"I don't know why you're looking at me like that," Paul stated as he looked Will up and down, taking in every muscle and bit of skin exposed. "I'm serious."
"No you aren't," Will rolled his eyes. "But I appreciate what you're trying to do."
"You don't think I'm serious?" Paul asked. "OK," he shrugged. "I tried to warn you."
Paul pulled out his phone and said to himself, "Who is the biggest gossip I know in this town?"
"Paul," Will crossed his arms.
"I think it's Adrienne," Paul stated as he showed Will her contact information.
"That is not funny," Will said as he reached out for Paul.
Paul took a step back, "Nope, you had your chance. Now everyone's gonna know."
"Paul-," Will gritted his teeth and reached for the phone.
"I'm pushing dial," Paul said in a sing-song voice. "You know," Paul said as the phone started ringing, "I think I know why you try to blackmail people. This is kind of fun."
Will glared at Paul before dropping to his knees and undoing Paul's belt.
Paul inhaled sharply as Will pushed down his boxers and started fisting him.
Will licked across the head of Paul's cock when he heard a loud voice over the line on Paul's phone.
"Hello?" Adrienne asked slightly confused.
Paul bit his lip, "Uh, hi. It's Paul. I just," Will slurped him into his mouth. "Oh f-," Paul held the phone up against his ear, "Sorry, I was calling because I, uh."
Will looked up at Paul through his eyelashes as he swallowed as much of him as he could.
Paul tried to think of something to tell Adrienne, "Sorry, sorry, I just saw a flyer about the bicentennial and I wondered if you knew anything about it."
"Oh," Adrienne was slightly disappointed. She hoped it would be something involving Sonny. "Well," Adrienne began explaining.
Paul had to bite his lip to keep from making any noise. Lifting his shoulder to his ear Paul balanced the phone before using his hands to hold onto Will's hair and help pull him up and down on his cock.
"Mmm hmm," Paul said into the phone. "Yeah, no I'll give them a call. Thank you for doing this for me," Paul tried not to laugh.
"Oh it's no problem," Adrienne said. "I'm glad to help."
"Uh, huh, thank you, bye," Paul quickly got out before disconnecting and throwing the phone on the bed. Paul used his grip on Will's hair to hold him down for as long as he could.
"Fuck," Paul loudly groaned still careful not to make too much noise for Ari's sake.
Will breathed quickly through his nose and tried to relax before Paul let him up and he could breathe.
"God," Paul moaned loving the gurgling sound Will made just as much as being down his throat.
"You're an asshole," Will said choking a bit, voice scratchy.
"You liked it," Paul smirked as he yanked on Will's hair again and pulled him back on his cock. "In fact," Paul closed his eyes, panting slightly, "I think it turned you on in more ways than one."
Will dug his tongue into Paul's slit before moving off of him.
"Maybe," Will replied as he stood up and pulled down his underwear quickly.
Paul struggled out of his shirt and shoved his underwear and pants off as fast as he could before Will knocked him onto the bed.
Will desperately reached under one of his pillows. He had left a condom and a small bottle of lube there. It was easier than having to dig through a drawer.
Paul chuckled in delight when he saw what Will had done. "Naughty," he teased as he stole the lube, put his hands on Will's ass and pulled his cheeks apart.
"Prepared," Will insisted as he ripped open the condom and unraveled it onto Paul.
"How did you know I would be here? Hmm?" Paul gently eased one finger into Will.
"Maybe it wasn't for you," Will pushed back onto Paul's finger.
Paul growled, "Nobody is touching you but me."
"You don't own me," Will shook his head, face flushing.
"Not yet," Paul slipped another finger into Will.
"Just shut up and fuck me," Will groaned, "Now."
"Yes," Paul agreed, "Fuck, yes."
Will positioned himself over Paul's cock when Paul flipped him onto his back.
"You want me to fuck you? I'll fuck you," Paul promised, tilting Will's hips as he lined himself up and pushed inside.
"Yes," Will canted his hips up and rocked against Paul. "Fuck me," Will urged.
Paul planted his hands on either side of Will's head and grinded into him. He had to cover Will's mouth with his own to drown out their sounds.
Will clawed at Paul's back, one leg curling around his waist while his foot dug into the mattress.
"Paul," Will whimpered. "Paul, please."
"You wanna come?" Paul licked along Will's lips. "What do you need? My hand? You wanna rut against my stomach, come all over us both?"
"Uh huh," Will couldn't even form words. "Please."
"You gotta pick," Paul chuckled.
"Just don't stop," Will scratched at Paul's thick shoulders.
"Not stopping now," Paul promised. "Not gonna stop, baby."
"Please," Will cried gently, voice catching.
"Yes," Paul urged. "Wanna see you come. Wanna see your pretty face and those big blue eyes."
Will nodded, body practically vibrating with need.
"Come on," Paul goaded. He needed Will to come first. He had to make Will come first.
"Paul," Will moaned as he finally let go, coming all over both of their stomachs.
"God," Paul fisted the sheets as he pounded into Will. "Fuck, fuck, fuck," Paul grunted, thrusting into Will for a few more moments before finishing.
Will clung onto Paul, catching his breath.
"Damn," Paul kissed Will gently, lips barely moving. "If I knew doing something bad turned you on that much I would have done it long ago."
Will ran his fingers against Paul's sweaty neck, "I like it when you're sweet too. But if you wanna be bad I'm not gonna stop you."
"You're a bad influence, Will Horton," Paul declared as he gently pulled out of Will.
"Sorry," Will closed his eyes, feeling exhausted and so, so satisfied.
"Don't be," Paul got rid of the condom before collapsing against Will. "I like it."
Author's note:
Today was a mix of couple-y and dirty. Also, Paul needs to work on his blackmailing skills. It's not exactly blackmail if Will was going to sleep with him anyway.
Please let me know what you thought.
Thank you for reading!
