Sonny, back at Common Grounds after a few days off, was bustling around due to the noon crowd. Chad allegedly was going to come in to help but nothing was restocked and Sonny hadn't even had any time for a bathroom break all morning. He was really missing the warmth and comfort he felt when he woke up this morning with his head against Will's chest. Making yet another vanilla latte Sonny sighed to himself.

Hearing the door open once again Sonny almost groaned, 'Please no more customers until we're caught up,' he exhaled in relief when he saw it was his mother. Sure, they hadn't been getting along lately but he knew she would wait at a table until they weren't as busy. Unusually, Sonny saw her head straight to a woman, another vanilla latte drinker, and sit down at her table. Not bothering to concern himself with it Sonny turned back to the drink he was supposed to be making.

Fifteen minutes later, sweat dripping down his neck and feet aching, Sonny brought a cup of green tea to his mother.

Adrienne, spotting Sonny heading their way, smiled in delight, "And here comes one of the grooms now, Sonny, this is Janet. Janet, Sonny." Adrienne was glad the woman was willing to meet her at Sonny's coffee house. It was so convenient for her plan to come together. 'Hopefully this works.'

Putting the cup down in front of his mother, Sonny shook the outstretched hand before him, turning to his mother, "I'm sorry, did you just say groom?"

"Oh Sonny, he's such a kidder," Adrienne told Janet conspiratorially. "Sonny, I'm interviewing Janet to see if she would make a good wedding planner. I've met with quite a few already but I have to tell you though that I'm highly impressed."

"Well, thank you," Janet said, voice surprisingly deeper than Sonny expected. "It's great to meet you Sonny. Now, Adrienne mentioned that you hadn't set a date yet. Do you have any ideas?"

Sonny stared blankly between the two of them before landing on his mother with a sharp gaze, "I'm sorry Janet but I don't think we're going to be needing you. My mother seems to be mistaken about what my relationship entails."

Looking uncomfortable Janet replied, "Oh, you're not engaged?" 'Are you serious? Landing a Kiriakis wedding would be a gold mine.'

"Don't be silly," Adrienne butted in, "Of course he's engaged. He and Paul are going to get married soon. They just need to get something out of their systems first."

Anger coursing through his veins, Sonny told his mother firmly, "Do not call him that. When are you going to accept this Mom?"

"Of course he is Sweetie," Adrienne told Sonny in a deceptively sweet tone. "I understand though. You and Paul have been having problems for a while now. This is just a way for you to reconnect. As soon as you realize exactly what and who you want you and Paul will be back to normal. Weddings take so long to plan. It just makes sense to get started now."

'I can't believe this woman,' Sonny thought angrily. "Just stop it," turning to Janet, Sonny told her firmly, "I'm sorry but I'm not interested in planning a wedding." Looking at his mother again Sonny hissed out, "Do not ever do that again." He marched back behind the counter. He'd rather have aching feet than spend another moment with his mother.

Will, getting out of his last lecture for the day, attempted to shove his laptop and textbook into his backpack, when he felt a firm hand grab his backpack, offering support.

"Hey, let me help with that," Neil told Will sincerely. 'Please don't be too mad.'

Will stood frozen looking at Neil. Seeing Neil smile at him slightly jostled Will into action. He took a step backwards holding his backpack up in front of him as a shield.

"No, hey, don't do that," Neil said sadly, walking towards Will with his arms outstretched. 'Why would Sami want my number if Will was mad at me?'

Shaking his head Will said, "No, don't touch me. I don't want to see you anymore." Will knew Paul and Sonny would be outraged that he was even talking to Neil. "I have to go."

Neil, frustrated, grabbed Will's arm as he tried to rush past, "No, I can explain. Don't leave yet."

Trying to yank his arm out of Neil's grasp, Will shook his head roughly, "No, let me go."

"I'm sorry about what happened the other night. I shouldn't have done that. I know it must have confused you but you have to forgive me," Neil explained quickly. 'I have to get him to understand.'

"I don't have to do anything you say," Will insisted, arm beginning to hurt from where Neil was squeezing him.

"You were being bad, Will. I just wanted to punish you," Neil explained taking a gamble that he could get Will in the same frame of mind as he did the other evening.

"Stop it," Will begged. "I want you to stay away from me. I'm sorry I lead you on and made you think we could be together. But we can't." Will finally pulled free from Neil's grip, long sleeve shirt getting pulled down, exposing Will's shoulder.

Catching sight of all the love bites coloring Will's shoulders Neil hissed loudly. "Oh my god, you actually went to them didn't you." He shook his head at Will sadly. "What did you sneak them into your hotel room to fuck?"

"Shut up," Will yelled. "You don't get to know anything about me anymore." 'I will not let him make me feel bad. I won't.'

"Fine, you slept with them. I can get over that," Neil said, mostly to himself, "We can work through this."

"There is nothing to work through. You and me are done," Will told him firmly, finally side stepping him and rushing away quickly. Will, feeling a bit panicked, pulled out his phone and searching through his contacts.

Paul, seeing Will's contact picture indicating he was calling, smiled and answered, "What's up, baby?"

"I need you to come pick me up from campus," Will told him immediately. He knew he could physically handle Neil if he found him again but psychologically was a different matter. Will was jittery and anxious. He needed his boyfriends to calm him down.

"What's wrong," Paul asked immediately. He was walking out of the apartment, having a physical therapy session at the hospital in about an hour. He turned in the direction of the university. Practically running down the street, Paul virtually shoved people out of his way.

"I just, I ran into Neil," Will told him instantly. "He freaked me out a bit and I really need you right now."

"I told you not to go near him," Paul instantly scolded. 'That son-of-a-bitch.'

"He found me and I told him to leave me alone," Will promised. "Just hurry up, please. I'm outside the student union."

A few minutes later Paul saw Will leaning against a wall and rushed over. Taking Will into his arms and kissing him lightly he pulled away slightly, "Tell me everything."

As Paul put his arm around Will's shoulders Will snuggled in close and explained, "He came up to me after my last class. He tried to apologize but I told him it didn't matter. That we were over."

"Good," Paul said instantly, proud of Will for standing up for himself. "What happened next?"

"He grabbed my arm and wouldn't let me leave," Will admitted reaching up to rub the tender spot. "I got away and told him I wasn't going to see him again then I called you."

Frowning angrily, Paul growled out, "That asshole. Are you OK?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little shaken up after the last time I was with him. Thanks for coming to get me," Will told Paul candidly. "I'm sorry I couldn't handle it."

"Don't say that," Paul assured him. "You did the right thing calling me. What do you want to do now?"

"Can we go to Common Grounds," Will asked face pressed against Paul's chest as they walked, "I really want to see Sonny."

Blinking a few times Paul told Will lightly, "Sure."

Sonny, cleaning up a few tables couldn't help but snarl when he saw his mother had left all of the wedding supplies on the table. Pamphlets about flower shops and reception halls littered his table. Gathering the junk in his arms Sonny glanced up when he saw Will and Paul walking through the door. Sonny smiled before he saw the strange look on both of their faces. Dropping the papers back on the table Sonny rushed to their side. "What happened?"

Will, pulling away from Paul immediately fell into Sonny's arms, holding on tight. Breathing in Sonny's familiar scent Will began to unwind a bit.

Paul, catching Sonny's confused glance, explained, "He had a run in with Neil. He took care of it but he wanted us."

"Hey, it's OK," Sonny whispered in Will's ear, upset that Neil had once again troubled his boyfriend. He guided Will over to the table he had been cleaning and gently pushed him into one of the chairs. "Let me get you a drink."

"No," Will told Sonny, catching his hand and not letting go. "Not yet, don't leave."

"You need to drink something," Sonny said with a smile, pleased Will needed him so badly.

Paul rolled his eyes feeling a bit left and went to grab Will a cup of water.

Will held Sonny's hand softly explaining what had happened with Neil. He enjoyed how sweetly Sonny talked to him. "I think you and Paul should talk to Neil," Will decided suddenly.

"Yeah, I think you're right," Sonny told Will softly, brushing Will's hand with his thumb.

Paul placed the cup in front of Will, dropping it a bit harder than he needed to, "Here." He didn't know why but he felt a bit jilted that Will wanted Sonny so badly to comfort him. He knew Will probably didn't mean anything about it but Paul was still upset.

Will flashed a grateful smile to Paul, "Thanks." He took a sip before putting the cup down again. Glancing at the papers on the table Will frowned slowly. Hurt spreading across his features, "Sonny, what is this?"

"Oh," Sonny said, having forgotten all about the junk on the table. "It's nothing. Just crap my mom left behind."

"Why does it have your name all over it," Will asked, pulling a sheet of paper from the pile. It looked like an application with Sonny and Paul's name written. Looking through what were clearly brochures Will couldn't help but panic a bit when he saw they were for weddings.

"No," Sonny said firmly immediately reading Will's expression. "Will I promise this isn't what it looks like." Sonny snatched some of the papers from Will's hands. "My mom brought this over."

Paul, putting his hand on Will's back to rub it, looked at some of the pamphlets with a frown. "Why would she bring this over?"

Not wanting to hurt Will any further but unable to lie Sonny explained, "She was interviewing a wedding planner. She thinks that our relationship is just a phase. She wants to plan a wedding in hopes that if we figure out we don't want to be together we can just get married. Will, I had nothing to do with this, OK? I told the woman with her that we weren't interested."

"I see," Will whispered a bit sadly. He didn't know why this was affecting him so badly. Will knew Adrienne didn't like him with Sonny and Paul. Even though she had let up a bit on him at the mansion the other day Will knew she still wanted them apart. It just hurt to see the reminder of what Sonny and Paul felt for each other rubbed in his face. 'They're engaged and I'm just their boyfriend.' It made Will feel like he did before. Back when Sonny and Paul were happily engaged and Will was the tag along friend.

Paul slapped Will on the back lightly, "Hey, none of that. You know how we feel about you. Just like it didn't matter to us that EJ didn't approve it shouldn't matter to you that Adrienne doesn't."

"I know," Will sighed. "It's just awkward, that's all." He looked at one of the pamphlets about honeymoon packages. 'Sonny and Paul would probably like going there,' Will thought sadly, seeing the advertisement about mountain hikes.

Sonny, moving his chair closer to Will, cupped his cheek, "We told you we weren't focusing on that anymore. Right now all we're concentrating on is you, us. What the three of us have together."

Will smiled slightly when Sonny's thumb brushed his lips, "I know. I'm just being silly." Looking over at Paul for support, Will was a bit surprised to see Paul was still reading one brochure. "Paul," Will whispered, confused.

"Hmm," Paul said, taking his hand off of Will's back to flip the pamphlet over. Catching Will's blue eyes Paul tossed the paper on the table, realizing he was being inconsiderate. "Oh, sorry. I was distracted by the prices on these things. Do weddings actually cost this much? Because I don't think I want one if that's the case."

Stealing a laugh out of Will, Paul smiled triumphantly before kissing Will right on the lips. "There's that pretty smile."

"It just surprised me, that's all," Will explained. "I don't like being reminded of when I couldn't be with you."

"Then don't," Sonny told Will simply. "I don't think you understand how long we actually wanted you, Will." 'I don't think anyone knows how long I've wanted you, even me.'

"Probably not as long as I wanted you," Will teased beginning to feel better. "So, um, about what we were talking about before this," Will gestured to the wedding papers with a frown, "I think that you two should tell Neil to leave me alone. I tried but ever since the other day I think he's got it in his head he's in charge of me. I want him to see that if anyone gets to boss me around it's you two."

Paul, definitely liking this idea, agreed readily, "Of course. He needs to be put in his place. What he did to you was unacceptable. We'll deal with him."

Sonny, nodded his head, "Yeah, he needs to go. I don't want him bothering you at school or trying to force you into something you don't want."

"Good," Will said, "I don't want that either. Since I still don't fully understand why I reacted that way I think it's best I just stay away from him."

"OK," Paul replied. "We'll find a time to talk with him." Glancing at his watch Paul cursed slightly, "Damn. I'm going to be late for my appointment."

"Do you want me to go with you," Will offered with a slight smile. He didn't like to think about Paul having to need physical therapy for his arm. It worried him a bit.

"Nah, you stay here. You can study," Paul told Will with a smile. He was beginning to feel slightly ridiculous for feeling jealous of Sonny earlier. Paul leaned down to peck Will on the lips. Looking at his watch again Paul jogged out the door completely forgetting to tell Sonny goodbye, catching Will by surprise.

EJ was sitting at the chess board in the front room at the mansion. He had neglected the game he had going with his father for far too long. 'I didn't realize being William's father would consume my entire life. Thank god Johnny, Sydney and Allie aren't this much trouble.'

Just when he thought he had the perfect move EJ's concentration was broken when his cell phone began to ring. "What," EJ barked into the phone annoyed he was disturbed.

"Is this EJ Dimera," asked a feminine voice over the line.

"What kind of ridiculous question is that? How did you get this number," EJ questioned immediately. He didn't give his personal cell phone number to many people.

"I got your number from a patient that just came to the hospital. He asked me to call you and inform you he was having an emergency appendectomy and will be unable to give you the information you wanted right away," the nasal voice explained clearly annoyed to be making this call.

"What patient," EJ demanded.

"I'm not at liberty to say. He only informed me that you employed him recently for some freelance work," the woman was beginning to get fed up. 'He did not give me enough money to deal with this guy' But being a nurse in Salem she had had odder things happen to her.

"Thank you," EJ snarled before ending the call. 'That's my information. That idiot should have given it to me before he went under for surgery. If he thinks he's getting a bonus he's got another thing coming.'

Pushing away from the table EJ walked straight to the Scotch in desperate need of a glass. 'I need that information on Paul Narita now. How long does it take to get an appendix out? It can't be more than a few hours. Maybe I'll head down to the hospital in a bit.'

Just as EJ was beginning to sulk he heard Sami and their young children open the front door. Perking up slightly EJ smiled when little arms wrapped around his legs. Saying their hellos the children ran to the kitchen for a snack.

"Hello, Samantha," EJ purred leaning down for a sweet kiss. He recognized that look in her eyes. She had been plotting again. Typically that would turn him on but knowing she was doing it behind his back took the edge off a bit.

"EJ," Sami got out before melting into EJ's kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck. Pulling away slightly Sami asked, "What's with that look on your face when we walked in?"

"Nothing," EJ said. "Just a complication with the chess match."

"I'm not as good as you or Stefano," Sami admitted "But sometimes it's good to just step away and figure it out later. It's not like your problem will get any worse if you wait until an idea comes to you."

EJ smiled down at Samantha lovingly. "This is why we make such a wonderful match, darling." 'I'll wait just a few more days to get my information on Narita. What's a few more days going to harm?'

Chad looked to his left and his right before slipping the key into the door and rushing inside quickly. He put it off for a day but he knew Sonny was at Common Grounds and he saw Paul book it out of there minutes before. Plus, it wasn't like he was breaking and entering. He had a key.

Looking around Sonny and Paul's apartment, Chad, thankful it was so small, moved to the desk. Rifling through all sorts of bills Chad tried to find anything that could implicate Sonny or Paul. Chad almost thought he found something before he realized it was just a letter from Paul's Mom. 'Thought I had something there with the love and miss you crap.'

Moving on from the desk Chad looked under the bed and found nothing but dust bunnies and shoes. 'Ugh, where are the piles of money? The hidden box full of secrets?' Annoyed Chad lifted the mattress only to find nothing there as well.

Bracing himself, Chad looked in the side table a little afraid. Finding a large box of condoms and several bottles of lube Chad was grateful he didn't have to poke around in there. Quickly looking through the closet and only seeing clothes Chad grunted in disappointment until he spotted a small metal tin on the bottom of the closet hidden by shoes.

Chad ripped the lid off and almost sighed in frustration, 'Only a piece of paper.' Figuring he might as well read it Chad just about dropped it in shock. He recognized that horrible hand writing. 'Holy crap.' Chad pulled his phone out and snapped a picture for evidence before putting it back. 'Holy crap, Will is going to be crushed,' he thought again.

Seeing the time on the clock near the bed Chad cursed to himself, 'Sonny's gonna kill me.' He was so late for his shift. Thinking back on the paper he found hidden Chad realized he didn't care too much about what Sonny was feeling. 'Asshole.' Hoping he hadn't moved anything Chad left the apartment, placing the key back in the not-so-secret hiding spot he found it. 'I can't believe I found that.'

Will watched Sonny from his spot at the table. He was supposed to be studying but all he could focus on was Sonny. 'He's so cute.'

Sonny, feeling Will's eyes on him again, smiled to himself before walking over with a cup of coffee, "I don't think I have any chemistry properties written on my face."

"I don't know," Will said with a giggle. "I better keep looking just to be sure." He smiled gratefully that Sonny knew he needed a refill.

Laughing at his ridiculous boyfriend Sonny told him, "Just a few more minutes and we can leave. I'm just waiting on Chad."

"Oh fine," Will relented. "But I better get a good reward for studying."

Sonny kissed Will's cheek softly, "Of course, babe." Sonny went to the backroom to get some more sugar packets. They always seemed to run out of those. Sonny suspected one of the kids that came in once a week might be sneaking handfuls.

Will, finally getting into his reading, startled a bit when someone kissed the top of his head. Looking up and seeing Chad Will rolled his eyes, "What was that for?"

"As my favorite nephew I figured I should be more affectionate," Chad told him in a horrible British accent . "What are you doing here?" 'How am I supposed to tell him what I found? He's so happy now. I don't want to ruin that.'

"Waiting for you to get here so Sonny can leave," Will explained with a smile. He liked how Chad never made him feel bad about his relationship with Sonny and Paul. He might not approve but he tried to be supportive anyway.

"Well here I am," Chad said plainly. "You going to spend time with just Sonny or wait around for your other buddy?" Chad was curious. He also was under orders to keep tabs on Will. Plus he was still feeling a bit wired from sneaking around Sonny and Paul's place. 'I still can't believe I found something and about Sonny of all people.'

"Paul's at his appointment so we'll probably just go home," Will explained with a shrug, packing up his things.

"Home? I didn't know you three were that close," Chad joked lightly but was actually curious. 'I didn't see any of Will's things there.'

"Oh, um, I just meant that you know, their home," Will said awkwardly. But he did feel comfortable there. He spent practically every night sleeping soundly between Sonny and Paul.

"Hey, Chad, you're finally here. Only an hour late," Sonny said dryly, shoving the box of sugar packets into Chad's arms. "Enjoy." He tore the apron from around his waist draping it across Chad's shoulders. "You ready," he asked Will with a smile.

"Yep," Will told him, making his 'p' pop. Standing up and hugging Chad from behind Will squeezed him, "Goodbye Uncle Chad."

Chad watched them go, forcing himself not to grab Will's arm and keep Will as far away from Sonny as he could.

Sonny held Will in his arms both lying on the bed talking. "So wait, you actually used to live at Uncle Vic's place?"

"Yeah," Will said with a shrug. "Grandma Kate was married to him. My parents were really young when they had me so my dad still lived at home. I went back and forth between my parents."

"Wait, he was your step-grandfather or something," Sonny asked with wide eyes.

"For a while, yeah," Will told him, laughing at Sonny's reaction.

"Sorry, it's just freaking me out a little that if they never divorced you and I would have been almost related," Sonny said with a shudder, pulling Will closer to him.

"By marriage," Will said thinking Sonny was being ridiculous. "Besides they are long over, thank goodness." Thinking of more Salem gossip Will added, "Did you know Nicole Walker has been married to Victor, EJ and my dad at some point?"

"Shut up, that can't be true," Sonny said with a laugh.

"It is true. I told you relationships in this town are convoluted," Will told Sonny nuzzling into his neck.

"And people try to make a big deal out of our relationship. Seems we're the only smart ones," Sonny teased, closing his eyes and enjoying the moment with Will.

"Speaking of relationships," Will started cautiously, a bit unsure as to whether he should bring it up, "I've kind of noticed you and Paul are acting different than before."

"What do you mean," Sonny asked smelling Will's hair, hardly paying attention.

"Different than when it was just you two," Will elaborated. "I just don't want to be causing any problems."

Sighing softly Sonny told Will, "It's nothing. We're just taking some time adjusting to being in a different type of relationship."

"What does that even mean," Will asked in confusion. "I don't understand."

"I don't think I understand either," Sonny admitted. "Things have just been strange between Paul and I. They've been weird, since before we admitted we wanted to be with you. Whenever we're with you everything makes sense and nothing is awkward. But when we're alone it feels weird."

"I don't know if I like that," Will confessed. Pulling away from Sonny and sitting up Will continued, "You should tell me about these things. You promised this was a real relationship. How can it be real if I don't know when you two are having problems?"

Sonny sat up too, "You're right, I'm sorry. We should have told you this. It's just I don't even know really. I think we both were fighting our feelings for so long that now that we get to have you it's hard to be without you."

"You have to keep me in the loop about these things," Will grabbed both of Sonny's hands. "I deserve to know. I don't want to be blindsided by anything." 'What if they decide they only want to be with me? Would I have to choose between them?'

"Relax," Sonny pacified, "It's nothing. We just haven't been feeling as close, that's all."

"Can we talk about this together," Will asked, afraid that his perfect relationship was about to be taken from him. "I don't want anything bad to happen."

"Nothing is going to happen," Sonny soothed, pulling Will back into his arms. "But we'll talk about it, if you want us to."

Relaxing back into Sonny's arms, Will told Sonny, "I just don't want you two to resent each other and only stay together because of me." 'Will's face heated up slightly, feeling a bit full of himself. 'Like I'm important enough for that to happen.'

"Hey, relax. We'll figure it all out," Sonny guaranteed rubbing Will's back up and down. "Together, OK?"

"OK," Will agreed. He leaned up to kiss Sonny on the lips. Intending to keep it light Will couldn't help but dig his hands into Sonny's lush hair deepening the kiss.

Sonny, responding to the kiss, enthusiastically, dragged his hands further down Will's back to grip his butt tightly. Thumbs digging into the waistband of Will's pants Sonny couldn't help but grope him. 'Fuck, his ass is so nice.'

Will moaned into Sonny's lips adjusting himself so he was straddling Sonny's lap Will licked into Sonny's mouth. Having fun exploring, Will didn't even hear the front door open.

Paul, staring at Sonny and Will making out on the bed, chuckled lightly before tossing his keys and phone on the desk. He looked at the top of the desk strangely for a moment, 'I could have sworn I put that in the drawer.' Paul shrugged figuring Sonny moved things around again.

Kicking off his shoes and shrugging off his sweater, Paul joined the two who were so caught up in each other they didn't even notice he was home. Paul nipped at Will's earlobe teasingly, moaning into Will's ear, "This is a nice sight to come home too."

Practically jumping out of his skin Will pulled away from Sonny with a gasp. Seeing it was Paul Will relaxed slightly. 'I am so sick of people sneaking up on me.' "Don't do that," Will said panting heavily.

Smiling at the pout on Will's face Paul shrugged, "Sorry, baby." He kissed Will's pursed lips until Will melted into Paul, still sitting on Sonny's lap.

Sonny's hands still massaging his butt and Paul kissing him thoroughly, Will almost got caught up in his boyfriends once again. With a struggle, Will pulled away from Paul, "Wait."

"Wait for what," Paul asked already leaning back down to kiss Will again.

"I want you to kiss Sonny," Will said plainly. He never really thought about it before but he just now realized he had yet to see them kiss since the three of them got together.

"Oh," Paul said in response. "But I was kissing you."

"Don't you want to kiss him," Will whispered, terrified of what might be happening.

Sonny, realizing Will was trying to help make things better between him and Paul, adjusted Will slightly on his lap, reluctantly pulling his hands off Will's butt. Feeling as awkward as Paul looked Sonny rolled his eyes at himself, 'It's my fiancé. This should not be weird.' Grabbing Paul by the back of the neck, Sonny kissed him firmly. 'When was the last time I kissed Paul?'

Paul caught by surprise closed his eyes and kissed Sonny back. It felt familiar and nice. He knew Sonny's lips like the back of his hand. He didn't know why things had been so tense between him and Sonny lately but they had been. It wasn't like Paul set out to ignore Sonny it just ended up happening.

Will watched Sonny and Paul kiss anxiously. They were so close to Will's own head so Will had a perfect look. 'They still look uncomfortable,' Will thought alarmed. The kiss was visually appealing like it usually was but Will was secretly pleased that he didn't feel a deep pit of jealousy like he would before they were together. But he was still distressed. The kiss didn't look as passionate as Will thought it should. Desperate, Will moved his face closer, 'OK, I saw this in porn before. Hopefully it's as hot as it looks.'

Will pushed his lips against Sonny and Paul's slightly. The angle was odd but it still kind of worked. Sticking his tongue out Will licked both their mouths at the same time groaning when they responded in kind. Despite the strangeness of it the three worked out a rhythm where they all three were kissing together. Pulling away to catch his breath Will looked between Sonny and Paul slightly afraid.

Sonny smiled at Will reassuringly, reaching out to kiss his cheek, "OK?"

Will shrugged a bit helplessly, "I don't know."

Paul, still confused by the whole matter asked, "What's going on?"

"Why don't you kiss Sonny," Will asked bluntly. "Why do you two never hold hands or touch each other? You only ever do those things with me."

Caught on the spot, Paul swallowed a few times, "I didn't really realize that was happening. I just do those things because they feel natural."

"It's not natural to be with Sonny," Will cried out. He didn't know why he was freaking out so badly. He just feared that everything was going to change. That maybe he really had ruined Sonny and Paul's relationship like he was afraid of.

"That's not it, Will," Sonny explained holding Will's hips firmly. "Paul and I have been together for years. Being with you is new and exciting. We both just can't help ourselves. You don't need to worry about this." 'Right?'

Glancing at Sonny quickly Paul agreed, "It's nothing, baby. We're just fine-tuning everything. Trust me, if we wanted to change anything we would."

"What if I wanted to change things," Will asked petulantly, "What if I want to see you hug and kiss and stuff?"

"If that's what you want we can try," Sonny told Will slowly, "But we both just do what feels right. It's not a big deal OK."

"We like taking care of you though, baby," Paul told him, rubbing Will's shoulders comfortingly. "You don't need to worry, everything is fine." 'I hope.'

Will nodded. He didn't think Sonny or Paul would lie to him. He trusted them.

"Now, can we get back to the kissing," Paul asked. He was still feeling tingly from their three-way kiss a few minutes earlier.

"Can we just get something to eat," Will asked getting off of Sonny's lap. He flinched slightly at the disappointed looks on Sonny and Paul's faces but he wasn't feeling it right now. Will wasn't sure what he would do if they told him no.

Swallowing his frustration Sonny smiled at Will, "Of course. What do you want to eat?"

"Can we order something," Will asked plainly. "I don't want to get up."

"You don't need to ask us permission for everything, baby," Paul insisted with a slight frown. "Now, let's figure out dinner."

Author's note:

Sonny and Paul didn't sound so convincing there did they? They're having some issues they need to work through. Or maybe they won't work through them who knows.

Also, who thinks EJ is right and his problem won't get any worse if he waits little bit longer?

I'm sure most of you knew but for those of you that didn't realize Chad found Sonny's New Year's resolution in the tin but unlike on the show it does not say he wants Will to fall in love with him. The actual resolution will be revealed later on. Any guesses what it says?

Please review and let me know how this chapter was. I'm almost getting to the reveal about Paul's secret from the first chapter. What does everyone want to see happen?

Up next: Sonny and Paul talk about their problems with each other. Sami puts her plan into action. Sonny and Paul put Neil in his place.
