Sonny is helping Sami move out. Well, he's helping Will, who seems much better. Sami is very different from how Sonny pictured her. She's very funny and has a fiery personality. She treats Sonny as an equal and seems happy to see him there. "Sydney talks a lot about you. Apparently, you're the handsomest man she's ever met. " Sonny blushes " Then it's a pity my heart is already taken, as she's such a lovely little lady." Sami's smile grows larger "True. I do make gorgeous kids." Sonny laughs " I totally agree." He goes back to the hall and sees Will picking up a box from the floor. "Hey, you klutz ! hope it wasn't anything breakable" Will shakes his head, looking preoccupied "It's OK, those are all clothes." "More clothes ? What's the size of your closet ? Are you wearing anything more than once ?" "Ha, ha, these aren't mine. And sorry for wanting to look decent. Not everyone look like they dress in the dark." Sonny takes a deeply offended look "Are you implying I don't pay attention to my appearance ? I'll let you know, I usually dress fast in the morning cause I'm too hazy, but when circumstances call for it I can be dazzling!" Will's eyes soften. He lifts the box and point to one of the bedroom. "Instead of trying and salvage your character, go and grab another box. We're almost done." He walks and add, without turning around "And we would have before if you didn't spend all your time staring at my ass." Horrified at being called on it, Sonny quickly pushes the door open and puts on a casual voice to say "If you don't want people to notice it, you shouldn't emphasize it so much ." He's rewarded with a light laugh and grants himself another point ('Helping Will recover and be happy again' current score : 3).
Will is now asleep, head in his arms crossed on the table. At the end of the moving, Sami had brought everyone to Common Ground and they've talked about the day and chattered. Will's father, Lucas, was looking at his son affectionately and a hint of... something that bothers Sonny. Like slight disappointment ? How can anyone be disappointed with Will ? It might have to do with the shenanigans Will mentioned earlier about his youth. Sonny doesn't feel comfortable bringing up the subject, he's too afraid of breaking their still-fragile link. Sami and Will have made up too and Sonny discovers another kind of mother-son relationship than his. Sami behaves with Will like he's her little brother and he talks to her like he would someone his age. It's disconcerting yet it seems to work. They've all raised their cup to the new couple, then Sami has fetched her kids at their grandmother's and her friends have gone home. Sonny doesn't feel like waking Will up, even with a coffee. He reflects on how easy loving someone is. You look at him living his life, even just snoring, and you're delighted.
The coffee door opens wide for Chad, Melanie and Abby. Those three have earned Sonny's respect for how they've put the past behind them. He greets them and notices a fourth. Mel introduces him as her new boyfriend, Adam. Sonny appreciate the firm handshake and give Mel an approving nod. The guy is gorgeous. Will comes to them and seems taken in, too. He gives Adam a big smile and leads them to his table. Sonny goes and prepare some drinks while they begin talking. When he comes back, Abby is teasing Will, while she taps the side of her jaw. "So, cous', admit it, a well-shaved guy is much nicer to kiss. Chad trying his new look makes my chin itch." Will answer in the same tone " I don't see the difference, you don't kiss using your chin or your might need remedial lessons !" Chad pouts but doesn't speak. "I say you haven't kissed enough guys to notice it yet" Abby insists. Will giggles. "How many do you think I've kissed then ?" "Until now, I'd say two" Abby lifts her index and middle finger. " That was after my coming-out, you don't know what happened before..." It appear Sonny doesn't either. He's thrown out by the news. He was debating whether Will was straight and he was dreaming the light flirting up or Will was closeted. It turns out he's just coy and Sonny is sadly made aware that Will seems to have opted for sheer friendship with him. He gets up for the sugar. Standing at the counter, he sighs quietly and wipes his eyelids. He comes back with a forced aloof pace and starts a discussion with Mel and Adam, to get to know him better. Friendship being all he has left for know, let him expand it.
