After the concert, Sonny takes Will to his place and jumps on him as soon as the door is shut. He's wanted him the whole evening and seeing him so carefree and full of vigor, having danced in his arms, having watched his profile while he was driving, as he insisted on doing, all of it have contributed in making Sonny crazy with desire and he pulls whichever piece of clothing is in his way without any care. Will is taking it all with a trust so profound that Sonny stills and looks deep in his eyes to say "Kitten ,do you know my life is ten times sunnier when you're in it ?" Will has an ice-melting smile and replies "I know. Because it's the same for me. I've dreamt of you for so long…" Sonny's chest expands and he shoves his tongue in Will's mouth wanting to take it all and give everything. They unite in an extended kiss and begin sliding against each other in harmony. Sonny's body is shaking and he doesn't try to control it. He knows that Will accepts him entirely too and comes apart, losing his entity only to find a new one that contains the two of them in which they meet, anticipating what their partner wants and needs. He explores Will and makes him shout with happiness "I love you" and "Go on, faster…". He's filled with a wildness that leads him to the limit of his physical faculties and also with a tenderness, a will to protect Will and make him feel good in his arms. It seems he'll never be able to entirely convey how much he loves him and he makes use of his whole self to proclaim 'Will is mine and everything is at his best when he's here!' When they unlock; Will has tears in his eyes and Sonny kisses them away as they start flowing.
Lying in the dark, hands pressed in each other's, their finger lazily caressing their palms, Sonny declares "I'll live here again, now. I'm much better and I've had a few bickering with my folks. My mom is a great person but she's overbearing" Will lets out a discreet sigh. Sonny jolts and asks "What's the matter ?" "Nothing" Will's voice is slightly tense and Sonny doesn't want to let it slide. "Will, tell me. I need to know what's in your head. Or I can't breathe." Will gently presses his fingers with Sonny's "No, it's really nothing. Just what you said about your parents. I wish I had the same kind of problems. I live my parents but it's another level of trouble." Sonny is reminded of Will's deep depressions due to Sami or Lucas and thinks that, yes, his parents are great, and he vows to make them a thoughtful gift to thank them for taking care of him. "What if I invited your parents to dinner, here ?" In the darkness, Sonny is aware of Will's shadow moving. He hears the smile in his voice "Are you insured against fires ? Or earthquakes ? Or lava flows ?" "Don't exaggerate. Your mother is sweet as hell with me." "That's cause you saved my life. And also, she said she can see you make me happy. But Dad disagrees and if they fight about it, the fall-out might be unbearable. You're too important to me to submit you to it." Sonny takes Will's hand to his lips and gives it a very delicate kiss. He can feel Will vibrate "My love, for you, I'll take anything. I still dream of you on that cliff, when I was powerless and despaired. As long as I can be active and support you, I'll do it. I'm Victor Kiriakis's great-nephew so I'm used to fights. And even though your father sounds harsh, I realize he loves you and is trying to protect you in a ill-suited way." A big silence follows, like a stone slowly dropping in a mossy well. Then Will's arms circle him and he hears a whisper in his ear "Thanks for being you. Thanks for loving me. You're life's most precious gift to me." Sonny begins crying.
After a delicious lie-in, Sonny opens a cautious eye and glances at the clock. It's near 11 am. He has a shift in the late afternoon and until them, he must go through his last lectures. He tears himself away from Will's delectable heat and takes profit of his lover's seep sleep state to open his laptop and read his notes in econ. Around noon, he's thinking about ideas on how to share brunch with Will. He'd love to make this week-end a magical interlude in their life and he hesitates between a picnic in the park or a drive to Chez Rouge with top dishes. Will did get the tickets after all, it's his turn now. He's at this state of his reflections when Will is startled awake by the phone ringing loudly. Sonny leaps and hears his cousin's voice, all jerky "Sonny, Chad is gone. Since yesterday night. I can't get to him and earlier, he called but it was cut. He sounded frantic. I have no idea where he is. I need help, Sonny, please!" Sonny grabs his jeans and a jacket and replies, with the cell tucked under his chin "We're on our way, Abs. Tell me where you are ?"
