I can't believe I forgot to mention that the title comes from the Britney Spears song "3". Which I definitely don't own.

"Hello," Will answered into his phone, shoulder holding his phone to his ear, attempting to balance the books he just got from the library and his coffee cup. For the first time in a long time he was trying to be studious. 'No more sleeping through cem for me," Will thought wistfully.

"Hey, Will," Neil's voice breathed down the line, "I'm kind of surprised you answered."

Fighting through the front doors and stopping at a bench outside the library Will put all his things down to sit. "I didn't really look to see who it was before I answered." Will admitted quietly. He still didn't remember much of his date with Neil. However, Paul said Neil was a creep he needed rescuing from. But Will just found it hard to believe that Neil was really so bad. The first night they met he spent the whole time checking on him and trying to get him water. It was hard to reconcile the Neil he knew with what Paul told him.

"God," Neil gushed out, "Will, I'm sorry. We had too many shots. I should have known better, Will, I should have. I don't know how I let everything get out of control."

"What do you mean," Will questioned plainly. Will hoped he would finally get some answers. Most of the night was a total blur.

"The thing in the bathroom," Neil continued. "I only took you in there because you said you had to pee. Then before I knew it we were kissing and you dropped to your knees. I tried to stop you but you were really insistent. Plus, I was drunk too. Honestly you looked so good down there that I didn't try very hard. Or at least not as hard as I should have. But I promise I wouldn't do anything to hurt you."

Will felt uneasy about the whole thing but it did sound like something he would do. 'I always do awful things when I'm drunk. Maybe Paul just came in at the wrong moment.'

Neil interrupted Will's contemplating, "I'm just really sorry Will. I thought you'd be able to handle the shots. That was really dumb of me. I mean you got pretty trashed off of those beers the night we met. I should have known better. You're still young I never should have brought you there. And I'm so sorry your friend took you away. I just, I promise I'd never hurt you."

Smiling briefly, Will sighed, "It's OK Neil." 'This is more like the Neil I remember.'

"I really want to see you again, Will. I want to start over and take you on a real date," Neil gushed in excitement.

"Alright," Will whispered. If he was serious about getting over Paul and Sonny then he needed to do this. Neil was hot and interested in him. 'Maybe I'll develop feelings for him instead. Besides, they're getting married. They don't want me,' Will reminded himself.

"Tomorrow after class," Neil promised, "I'll pick you up and we can go somewhere together."

"OK," Will nodded, feeling silly when he realized Neil couldn't see," Tomorrow." Will wished he could feel excited. But Neil asking him on a date didn't make him feel half as good as when Sonny wanted him to taste his new coffee samples. It didn't make him feel anything close to when Paul told him he cared about Will.

Relieved and deciding to push his luck a bit, Neil's voice lowered as he said, "Goodbye baby boy."

Something about that phrase niggled at the back of Will's mind, causing goosebumps on his arms. Almost like deja vu Will remembered someone calling him that as he moaned and whimpered. It felt similar to the dream he had about Paul. Will closed his eyes and tried to concentrate but he couldn't remember anything concrete. Will was almost certain that Paul had called him that at some point. But for some reason Will was convinced Paul couldn't have been the only one.

Will logically knew the dream was just wishful thinking on his part. Paul would never want Will the way Will wanted him. But the more he remembered the harder it was to ignore, especially when the dream felt so real.

Sonny was fiddling with the large coffee pot as a fresh batch was just brewed. Tomorrow he would start selling the roasts Will picked out. Sonny smiled thinking about Will's excited face when Sonny told him. Will couldn't believe Sonny was actually using his preferences, "God he's cute," Sonny thought.

Hearing the door open Sonny glanced up. Sonny's smile fell from his face when he saw it was Paul. Sonny automatically started making a double shot soy latte for his fiancé. Noting how his order was much more complicated than Will's, 'Stop it,' Sonny ordered himself.

Paul leaned against the counter and gave Sonny a half smile, "Hey."

Setting the cup in front of Paul, Sonny leaned against the back counter, arms crossed, "Hey."

Sighing slightly Paul asked, "OK, you're mad about something. What is it?" Paul wondered what he could have possibly done when they hadn't even seen each other in almost a day. Panic gripping at his chest, 'Will doesn't remember so Sonny couldn't know.'

"Yeah, Paul, I am. You lied to me," Sonny told him. "Last night, you said you were going to bed early. You didn't say anything about going to The Spot."

Exhaling in relief, "I know. I was just worried about Will. I got a bad feeling, OK," Paul explained.

"So why didn't you just call him or something," Sonny questioned. He didn't know why he was so upset. If he thought Will was in trouble he probably would have done the same thing. However, Sonny was so confused about Paul and Will. Something just didn't sit right with him about his fiancé rushing off after another guy, even if it was Will. 'Especially Will.'

"I did Sonny. That's why I had to go check on him," Paul clarified. "He didn't answer. He always answers." Paul decided not to mention the fact that he never planned on going to bed early. Will had promised to call him once he got home and when he never called Paul knew he had to check on him no matter what.

"Are you sure that's it," Sonny tested, eyebrow raising, almost dreading the answer.

"What do you mean," Paul asked, confused. He thought Sonny would be glad he took care of Will even if he didn't know the full extent of it.

"I just mean that you seem a little too protective over Will," Sonny said, shoulders shrugging attempting to be nonchalant.

Paul looked at Sonny incredulously, "He's 18. He shouldn't be allowed in a club anyway. And Will said he doesn't really like drinking. Plus I had a bad feeling and I was right. That douchebag had him on his knees on the filthy floor. He couldn't even stand on his own. Who knows what he would have done to him." 'Hypocritical much?'

Sonny sighed and shook his head. He knew Paul was right but he couldn't stop feeling jealous, "Look, I know you're right," Sonny admitted. "I just don't like you lying to me. So do you think Neil got Will drunk on purpose," Sonny questioned, leading the conversation away from himself.

"I think so yeah," Paul told Sonny, still confused by his behavior. "From the stuff Will told me I think Neil knew exactly what he was doing."

Sonny frowned, 'how could anyone want to take advantage of Will?' "I thought Will didn't remember what happened?"

"He doesn't," Paul explained. "This is what he told me when he was drunk." 'And boy did he tell me more than he meant to.'

"What did he say," Sonny asked curiously. The only time he ever saw Will drunk he was pretty ridiculous. 'And also kissing Neil, hmm.'

"I didn't tell him all of this since I knew it would embarrass him but he kept talking about blowjobs," Paul chuckled, "Something about Neil telling him how good he'd look doing it." 'And boy was he right.'

Sonny swallowed, 'Don't think about that,' "Anything else?"

"He kept saying his mouth was watering for dick. Oh and that he liked being manhandled. I also think he has a bit of a daddy kink or something," Paul elaborated before he realized he was getting into dangerous territory.

Eyes widening, Sonny gulped, 'Stop thinking right now.' "How do you even know that? There's no way Will even knows that exists."

"Just something he said about EJ," Paul said quickly. 'And definitely not that he comes like a fountain when you call him baby boy.'

"Wow. I don't even know what to say about that," Sonny said in disbelief.

"He definitely wouldn't talk about that sober," Paul said, smiling at Sonny for the first time that evening.

Chortling, Sonny agreed, "Definitely not. He'd probably die if he knew." Sonny smiled back at Paul. His feelings were still a mess. He didn't want Paul around Will but he wasn't lying when he told Will they didn't have to stay away from each other. But the thought of Will on his knees for Neil made Sonny sick. 'This is so messed up.'

"And nothing else happened with Will," Sonny clarified. He just had a strange feeling about the whole situation, like Paul wasn't telling him everything.

Deciding he needed to give Sonny at least some of the truth, Paul said, "Well, when Will was talking about blowjobs and craving dick he did ask if he could suck mine." 'OK, that did happen. Sonny just doesn't need to know that I made him.'

Sonny's eyebrows practically flew off his face, "Excuse me? He forgot to mention that." Sonny almost couldn't believe that. Will was so earnest when he confessed to having a crush on Paul and so honest about everything else. 'Maybe Will Horton isn't quite as innocent as he likes to act.' Sonny began questioning Will. What else was he lying about?

"I didn't tell him," Paul admitted. Seeing the look on Sonny's face Paul quickly explained, "He was ridiculously trashed. He didn't know what he was doing. I told him to lie down and go to sleep. I rolled him on his stomach and he passed out." 'More or less.'

"Why didn't you tell him this morning," Sonny demanded. 'He didn't exactly tell Will 'no' now did he? And just realized he had a crush my ass,' Sonny inwardly grumbled.

Paul, despite his guilt, was beginning to believe he made the right decision in not telling Sonny the truth, "Because he would have been mortified, Sonny. The kid blushed when you two shared a straw at the movies how do you think he'd react to asking to suck my cock?"

Again, Sonny knew that Paul was right. Just like Sonny knew deep down that Will only asked that because he was drunk. Will wasn't sneaky enough to try and seduce his fiancé. But the idea of Will and Paul was driving him crazy. He still didn't even know which one he was jealous over.

"I know, Ok, I know," Sonny told Paul grudgingly. As it just occurred to him, Sonny couldn't help but ask, "Where did you even sleep last night?"

"I slept with Will," Paul said casually, not even thinking of the implications of what he admitted. He was beginning to regret even going in to see Sonny today.

Sonny spluttered loudly, "What did you just say?" 'He can't mean that.'

"What," Paul asked confused yet again by Sonny, "Where else was I going to sleep? It's not like we have a couch or anything."

"Oh," Sonny gasped out in relief. "Right, that makes sense." Thankful it wasn't what he thought Sonny still felt uneasy. If a gorgeous drunk Will Horton was in his bed asking to suck his cock would he be able to resist? How was Paul able to?

When he first befriended Will Horton he didn't expect his life to one day be like this. Sonny was beginning to miss when Paul was the one jealous over Will. He almost regretted insisting the two should be friends. "Can we just stop talking about Will?"

Paul nodded. He didn't know when things between him and Sonny got so tense. 'No that's not true,' Paul thought, 'It's when Will came into our lives.' Paul knew he needed to do something to fix things with Sonny but he wasn't sure he could if it meant he had to give up Will.

"When do you get out of here," Paul asked, changing the topic and finally drinking his latte.

"I'm ready to go now," Sonny said. "I can't wait to get home and relax." Sonny untied his apron and went to tell Lauren he was leaving.

"Good," Paul commented," Let's go." Finishing his cup and standing up, Paul shoved his hands in his pockets, feeling awkward. 'You aren't supposed to feel uncomfortable around your fiancé,' Paul thought, 'It's never that way with Will. Even this morning.' Shaking his head Paul walked to the door.

As the couple left for home neither was aware that all the other could think of was Will Horton.

Author's note:

Will seems to be remembering a bit more about his dream. Sonny is very suspicious of Paul. And Paul isn't willing to give Will up. Things can only get a little bit messier from here on out.

Also, does anyone else feel like Neil is up to something?

Up next: Sonny and Paul run into Will while he's out with Neil.
