Warning: super rough sex

Will walked down the stairs having finished reading his brother and sisters a story and tucking them into bed. Something he had definitely missed doing when he moved out. Will stopped at the foot of the stairs seeing Sonny, Paul, Neil and Brian waiting for him.

"You ready to go babe," Sonny asked with his arms crossed over his chest. He could still feel the frustration and anger Chad brought on coursing through his veins. He wanted to get home before he did something stupid. Thankfully Chad had made himself scarce so Sonny didn't have to see him anymore.

"Yeah," Will nodded, "Just let me tell my mom and EJ goodbye." Will hurriedly walked outside seeing him mom and EJ curled up together near the firepit. Smiling gently Will cleared his throat, "Thanks again for the party. I really appreciate it."

Standing up slowly Sami put her wine glass down before pulling Will into another hug, "Of course. I'm just glad everything worked out."

Will swallowed carefully. He wasn't sure if he should tell his mom what Adrienne saw. 'Or thought she saw.' He knew they were friends now and he knew how rare that was for his mom. Deciding to leave it for the moment Will just hugged his mother.

EJ, pushing Samantha to the side, squeezed William against him, "Happy birthday, son."

Smiling and wrinkling his nose at the phrase Will sighed loudly, "Thanks," he licked his lips, unsure if he should say what he was thinking, before whispering, "Dad."

Blinking several times EJ pushed William away, "You get home now. You've got plenty of men waiting for you."

"Oh shut up," Will laughed knowing EJ was feeling touched. Looking over his shoulder Will smiled seeing his mom pull EJ into a hug with EJ burying his face in her neck.

Will walked in between Sonny and Paul shivering slightly in the cold air, "Why didn't we bring a car again?"

"Because you're boyfriends are stupid," Brian spat out bluntly while holding a bag of Will's presents.

Rolling his eyes Paul shot back, "Well you're the idiots who picked him up from the apartment, where the car was."

"Can you not," Will said loudly. "It was rhetorical. And I can carry things you know. I'm not inept."

"It's your birthday so just deal with it," Neil supplied, "We've got it."

Sonny, looking at the bag he was holding, noticed the books his parents gave Will as well as the photo album from Chad. 'Yeah right Chad made that,' Sonny thought with a sneer. Glancing at Will Sonny knew they all needed to talk to Will about Chad. "Will," Sonny began, "I think we need to talk about Chad."

"What about Chad," Will asked carefully. "If it's about what your mom saw I told you I tried to move away."

"No not that," Sonny dismissed while shooting Paul a sharp look when he wanted to interrupt. "About this gift, about what he's doing."

"Oh," Will nodded. "You mean his plan to try to win me over."

"Yes," Sonny said feeling a bit surprised, "How do you know about that?"

"Chad explained it when he hugged me," Will supplied. "I told him it was dumb but he seems pretty insistent."

"It's ridiculous and not going to happen," Paul guaranteed. "No way Will."

"Well yeah," Will chuckled slightly. "I knew you wouldn't like it." Turning slightly seeing the look Neil was giving him Will added, "And I don't like it either."

"You sure about that Blondie," Brian asked in a firm tone. "Because you did have a crush on the guy and now he's going to be hanging all over you."

Frowning Will shook his head, "I don't want to be with Chad like that anymore. Besides I know that it isn't real. It's just to get info out of Stefano."

"Well," Neil stated, "I think on top of it being dangerous working with Stefano it could be dangerous for your feelings."

"I don't like Chad anymore," Will insisted. "I'm not going to suddenly fall all over myself to be with him if he pays me attention."

"It would be understandable if you did," Sonny tried to say before Will cut him off.

"Seriously," Will complained, "It's not going to happen. As your mother pointed out to me I've got enough boyfriends as it is."

Paul, rolling his eyes thinking about Adrienne, huffed, "Well it doesn't matter anyway because you aren't going near him." 'And I don't care how possessive that sounds.'

Brian made an annoyed sound in the back of his throat, "Would you knock that shit off? He can be around whoever he wants."

"Would you just stop it," Will said loudly. "Both of you. I'm not going to help Chad but I'm not going to go out of my way to steer clear of him either. I'm staying out of it."

"Will," Paul started to argue before seeing the determined look on Will's face. Sighing Paul agreed, "Fine. But if he does something again you're telling us."

Seeing the apartment complex within sight Will automatically moved closer to Sonny, since he wasn't holding a large box like Paul. Hiding his face so he wouldn't see the old studio when they walked by Will clenched his eyes tightly together.

"It's OK now," Sonny patted Will's arm reassuringly as they passed the studio.

Opening his eyes Will sighed in relief. 'I really need to work on getting over that I guess. Maybe I'll talk to Wendy about it.'

Neil and Brian shared a sad look seeing Will cower away from the studio. Neil himself didn't feel particularly great looking at it either but he wasn't as affected by it as Will.

Brian nudged Neil's shoulder with his own before giving him a comforting smile. Neil pushed back smiling widely thinking about how great Brian really was.

Will smiled at Brian and Neil as the three stood outside Will's apartment at the top of the stairs. "Thanks for coming tonight. I know it's not exactly the coolest thing in the world," Will told them with a smile.

"Well neither are you," Brian teased while pulling Will into a hug, "But we have fun with you anyway."

"Hey," Will pouted with a laugh. Reaching out for Neil Will hugged the both of them tightly. "Just you know thanks for being my friend and stuff."

"And stuff," Neil poked at Will's sides before letting go. "Well no problem. It's not like it's a hardship or anything."

"If you say so," Will smiled and watched them walk hand in hand down the stairs. Walking back inside Will closed the door and locked it before announcing, "They're super cute together."

"Uh huh," Paul gave Will a blank look from the couch, "Adorable."

Will, climbing over the back of the couch and flopping on Paul, making a loud sound pop out of Paul's mouth, smiled, "Well if they're together that means they won't be bothering me."

"Didn't exactly stop us," Sonny commented walking over to the couch from the bathroom. "Now did it?"

Blushing softly Will admitted, "No I guess not. But that's different."

"How is it different," Paul asked pulling Will's head against his chest and running his fingers over his neck. "Seems pretty similar to me."

"Well," Will closed his eyes and sighed. "I don't want to be with either of them for one."

"Mmm," Sonny hummed, "I guess that is pretty different. What else?" He pulled Will's shoes and socks off and tossed them over the side of the couch.

Knowing this wouldn't exactly thrill Paul Will said quickly, "They might be good looking but they're not like you."

"What the hell does that mean," Paul grumbled as he started unbutton Will's shirt.

Smiling, Will licked his lips, "It means they don't turn me on the way you two do. I don't get butterflies when I see them. They don't make me feel special when they look at me."

Paul, feeling slightly appeased, pulled Will's shirt open glad to see he wasn't wearing an undershirt. Tracing along Will's abs Paul mumbled, "They better not."

"I'm sure being with Neil and Brian would be hot and fun," Will giggled when Paul pinched his skin and Sonny yanked on his foot, "But it wouldn't be as good as with the two of you. Wanna know why?"

"Because you're in love with us," Sonny guessed adjusting on the couch so he could reach the button for Will's jeans.

"Yep," Will made a loud popping sound as he lifted his hips to help Sonny pull off his pants. Lying in nothing but his underwear Will smiled, "Because I love you both and nothing is ever going to be as special as what we have." Sitting up on the couch and stretching his arms over his head Will mused, "I do believe you said tonight I can do whatever I want to."

Looking at Will warmly Sonny nodded, "I did say that yes. Do you have something in mind?"

"I do," Will confirmed before standing up and grinning.

Will woke up the next morning with Sonny's hair in his mouth and a low throbbing in his head and ass. He knew it was still too early to get up, that he needed more rest. But he couldn't help it. It was hard to sleep for long periods at a time even when he was cocooned between Sonny and Paul. Spitting Sonny's hair out of his mouth Will turned his head and nuzzled against Paul's bare chest.

Will contemplated waking up his boyfriends especially when he moved his hips and winced in pain. 'OK, maybe I overdid it last night,' Will thought looking down at the raw claw marks all over his sides and hips. There didn't seem to be a single part of his front that wasn't covered in marks, bruises or bites. Will tried to roll Sonny onto his back and whimpered when Sonny's skin dragged along a particularly vicious scrape.

"What's wrong," Paul asked slowly waking up.

"Nothing," Will gritted his teeth, "Go back to sleep."

"Why are you making that face," Paul questioned before looking down at Will's body. "Holy fuck." Sitting up entirely, jostling Will and Sonny both, Paul kneeled next to Will, "Oh my god."

"What's happening," Sonny groggily asked, hair sticking up every direction, "What are you doing?"

"It's nothing," Will tried to placate, "Everything's fine."

"No it isn't," Paul insisted loudly. "Look at you. It looks like you were attacked by a wild animal."

"Well," Will smiled slightly, "You two were kind of rabid last night."

"Will," Sonny inhaled sharply, "Why didn't you say something before we went to bed?"

"I don't know," Will shook his head, "I didn't notice. And it's not so bad, I promise."

"You were bleeding," Paul argued, fingers ghosting over a small scab where Will's hip and thigh met. "Come on," he put one arm under Will's knee, going to lift Will up. "You're getting in the tub."

"Paul," Will cried, startled by the sudden movement, cuts stinging. "Your shoulder," Will tried to wiggle out of his hold.

"It's fine," Paul maintained ignoring the pain. He rushed Will to the bathroom and set him down on the toilet.

Sonny, having run to the bathroom ahead of them, already had the water running. He looked for some Epsom salt under the sink knowing it would help Will relax.

"I told you I'm OK," Will complained. "You don't need to panic."

"Yes we do," Sonny shot back. "Now get in here."

"Can I at least pee first," Will grumbled before using the bathroom.

Paul, leaning against the wall, rubbed at his shoulder carefully. 'This time I really do need to make an appointment,' he thought.

Once Will was carefully sitting in the tub, warm water soothing his aches and pains, he closed his eyes; head tipped backwards and remembered the night before.

Will stepped onto the coffee table behind him and stared down at his boyfriends on the couch. "So," Will said trying to sound confident even though he was slightly nervous. "I really liked these," he trailed his fingers up the faint scratch marks along his sides from this morning. "And I like these," he spread his legs somewhat to show off the hickeys up and down his inner thighs.

"Oh yeah," Sonny asked watching Will avidly.

"Mmmhmm," Will nodded, cheeks on fire, "So, tonight, I want it as rough as possible." He slowly pushed down his underwear and tossed them at Sonny and Paul.

Paul, leaning forward, hands on his knees, licked his lips, "And what does that mean, baby?"

"I think you're just going to have to find out," Will smiled in what he hoped was a seductive way, 'And not completely dorky.' Crouching on the table and turning around, bending over to reach for a few things he stashed under the coffee table before he left this afternoon with Brian and Neil, Will pulled them out slowly. Rolling his back up vertebrae by vertebrae wanting his boyfriends to get a good look at him Will turned back towards them and smiled. "Now you get to watch."

Sonny pushed his shoes off his feet carefully as he looked at Will holding a small tube of lube and their vibrator. "What are you going to do," Sonny questioned already feeling his cock stiffen.

"Do you remember that night," Will said lowly as he swept everything off the coffee table and sat down slowly. The coffee table was just wide enough that Will could recline on it and give his boyfriends a perfect view. "When I touched myself and you weren't allowed to touch me?"

"Yes, god yes," Paul leered at Will watching as he spread his legs and brought the vibrator up to his mouth.

"I want to see how long it takes for you to break," Will stated slowly while brushing the tip of the vibrator against his mouth. "I want to see how long you can go before you can't take it anymore. How long it takes for you to touch me." Will opened his mouth and traced his tongue along the vibrator.

Sonny popped the button of his pants trying not to whimper. "Jesus," he whispered. "When did you get this sexy?"

Will, trying not to giggle, wrapped his lips along the vibrator and sucked. He pushed it slowly inside and out of his mouth taking more and more each time. With his free hand he slowly started touching the scratch marks along his sides. Pressing his fingertips to the marks Will used his own short nails to dig into them.

Paul, hands gripping the couch, found Will's underwear that he threw at them. Picking it up and balling it in his hand Paul tried to control himself. He wanted to enjoy this for as long as he could.

Watching Will swallow around the toy and dig into his own skin Sonny licked his lips and slowly rubbed his hand against his groin.

Gagging slightly around the curved edge of the vibrator Will pulled it out of his mouth and caught his breath. Reaching for the lube Will slathered his entrance, dipping his index finger inside and out. He was a little worried about not prepping himself but Will pushed that aside. 'I want to really feel it.'

"Baby," Paul hissed when Will brought the vibrator to his entrance. Seeing the toy, covered in Will's spit, gently shoved into Will's opening Paul held his breath. "Oh god," he could see exactly how Will's hole unfurled around the slim vibrator. He could see his walls clamping down and clenching.

Will groaned loudly at the slight sting. The vibrator didn't glide into Will easily. Panting slightly Will enjoyed the unusual sensation. It was much rawer, almost painful. Pulling on the toy Will cried. It wasn't much of a stretch but it was more than he was used to taking right away.

Sonny, torn between being completely turned on and concerned, watched with his mouth wide open. "How does it feel babe," Sonny asked quietly.

"Feels different," Will sighed as he pushed the toy back inside. Breath hitching and eyes closing Will moaned, "I like it. Like the way it hurts a little." Working his hips into the toy Will smiled, "Do you wish it was you? That you were inside me? It must be so tight right now."

Paul nodded almost entranced, mind completely blank.

"I almost wish it was you," Will licked the back of his teeth, nails dragging against his skin. "But it feels so nice. I think I'm gonna turn it on."

"Don't you dare," Sonny said finally giving up. He wanted his hands on Will right now. He wanted to be the one scratching him and fucking him.

"Whoops," Will whispered as he flicked it on, feeling the low buzz all around him.

"Damnit Will," Sonny growled before moving off of the couch and putting his hands on Will's knees.

Will moaned obnoxiously as he worked his hips in a small circle, "It feels too good. I'm sorry."

"No you're not," Sonny growled as he reached his hands under Will's legs to his ass and yanked him off the table.

Flailing, Will sat up quickly with the vibrator still inside of him, excited for what Sonny was going to do.

Sonny tossed Will to the couch, facedown, so his face landed near Paul's crotch. Sonny adjusted Will so he was on his knees with his ass in the air. Taking a hold of the base of the vibrator Sonny moved it around inside of Will widely.

Will, holding onto Paul's thick thigh, whined loudly, "Sonny."

"I thought you wanted this," Sonny demanded before bringing his free hand down sharply against Will's ass. Watching Will jump Sonny grinned.

Paul put his hand on the back of Will's neck, making it impossible for Will to turn his head. "Shh baby," Paul teased. "Just enjoy it."

Will, crying out when Sonny slapped him once more, rocked back into Sonny's firm hand. "Harder," Will whispered against Paul's thigh.

Sonny, barely hearing Will's request, brought his hand down, smiling at the bright red imprint left on Will's cheek. Working the vibrator in and out in time with his smacks Sonny leaned down and bit harshly along Will's hip.

Grip firm on Will's neck Paul unbuttoned his pants and shoved them down to his knees. Pulling Will forward by the base of his neck Paul didn't have to say anything as Will immediately swallowed him down.

As Sonny's hits moved down from the top of his ass to the crease of his thighs, vibrator still buzzing inside of him, Will worked up and down Paul's cock. When Sonny started biting him as well Will could feel himself coming apart slowly. Rubbing his firm cock against the cushions of the couch Will squeezed Paul's thigh in warning.

"It's OK, baby," Paul assured him as his hands braided in Will's hair pulling on his locks. "Just let go."

Sonny watched Will's hole spasm around the toy, clenching and unclenching rhythmically as Will orgasmed. Gently easing his slaps Sonny still twisted the vibrator inside of Will. Wondering just how much Will was willing to take Sonny reached for the lube on the table as he shut the vibrator off but left it in Will.

With Paul yanking on his hair Will was given no choice but to continue working his mouth. Usually when he came Will would feel tired or spent, 'But not tonight.' Tonight Will wanted as much as they could give him.

The next time Will swallowed down around him Paul held his head down. Feeling Will's throat working against him Paul growled, "Fuck you're so good at that. So fucking good." Finally letting Will up Paul rubbed his scalp soothingly when Will coughed wetly, "You're OK. You can handle it."

Sonny, watching Will and Paul carefully, unrolled one of the several condoms Will had brought out. Opening the lube Sonny drizzled some along his throbbing cock contemplating what to do next. He didn't want to hurt Will's insides too badly. Slowly removing the vibrator Sonny pushed two of his lube covered fingers inside of Will. Working quickly and methodically Sonny smacked against Will's reddened cheeks again.

With Paul giving him a breather Will whined loudly and clenched around Sonny's thick fingers. "Want it," Will tried to express. "Want it now. Sonny, Sonny. Want it."

"Hmm," Sonny teased as he flicked his fingernails against Will's walls. Seeing Will shudder Sonny smirked, "You want my cock now greedy boy?"

"Yes," Will moaned adjusting on the couch so he could reach out and grab Paul's cock. Jerking him confidently Will told Sonny, "I want you now."

Instead of answering Sonny pulled out his fingers roughly before shoving himself completely inside in one thrust.

Paul, pumping his hips into Will's fist, wished so badly he could fuck Will too.

Will, loudly groaning with each of Sonny's thrusts, tongued the head of Paul's cock. Wondering if he could make this night even better Will looked up at Paul, "You don't have to wait, you know?"

"What," Paul asked breathlessly.

"If you want me," Will curled his tongue around Paul's tip, "Go and take me." Grinning to himself when Paul stood up Will held in a triumphant laugh.

Sonny, focused on the task at hand, nails digging into Will's skin, startled when Will was ripped off of him. "What the fuck," he shouted at Paul as he saw Will flipped onto his back.

Paul, ignoring Sonny, grabbed Will's thighs and held onto him tightly as he slipped a condom on as fast as he could. Forgoing lube Paul shoved himself into Will and immediately began to move.

Irate at being ignored Sonny shoved Paul off of Will and took his place quickly. Seeing the self-satisfied look on Will's face Sonny immediately knew he was behind this. Despite feeling slightly proud of Will Sonny was still pissed. Wrapping Will's legs around his waist Sonny reached his hands down Will's chest and clawed sharply.

Getting annoyed Paul shoved Sonny aside as well before moving back into Will.

Will, excited and slightly breathless, held his legs up around Paul. He cried loudly when Sonny bent over his chest and viciously bit. "Ugh," Will bucked into Paul's cock.

Smiling against Will's skin Sonny moved up and down his chest and stomach biting and scratching everywhere he could reach. Completely ignoring Will's plump cock Sonny pulled up quickly and pushed Paul away.

Groaning in frustration Paul moved over. Standing side by side with Sonny, hips touching, Paul held up one of Will's thighs and squeezed harshly. Watching Will's face as Sonny ploughed into him Paul smiled widely. "You love this don't you," Paul questioned, moving his fingers up and down Will's leg.

"Yes," Will admitted as he quaked feeling Paul's nails claw at him. He wanted to touch himself but he also wanted to only feel Sonny and Paul. Will wanted them to get him off. Deciding instead to pinch and pull at his nipples Will's mouth dropped open when Sonny and Paul switched places yet again.

Sonny bent over Will's side, finding a free speck of skin to bite or claw. "You like working us against each other don't you? You like seeing us fight over your hot little body huh," Sonny groaned.

Paul reached forward, hand finding the spot where his hip and his thighs met, too long nails accidentally slicing into his skin, drawing blood.

"Uh huh," Will agreed, "Feels so nice knowing how much you want me. Knowing you can't get enough." Practically screaming when he felt Paul cutting him Will pushed his hips uselessly. He felt Sonny's teeth digging into him and Paul ramming his hole. "Please," Will asked desperately, "Please, please, please."

"I don't know babe," Sonny swatted at Paul's hip. "I don't know if you deserve it yet." Waiting for Paul to move out of the way Sonny shoved himself into Will again.

Paul chuckled seeing how distressed Will was. "Aw," he told Sonny, "It's his birthday. I think we should be nice." Nails scratching up and down Will's side Paul smirked.

"If you say so," Sonny grinned before reaching down and grabbing Will's cock. Barely grazing his hand up and down, fucking harshly into Will, Sonny watched as Will messily came all over Sonny's fist.

Paul, removing his fingers from Will's sides, rubbed up and down Will's chest comfortingly as he watched Sonny jamming into Will roughly. With one hand Paul jerked himself off.

Sonny, feeling Will's insides clamp against him quickly, continued thrusting. Sharing a look with Paul Sonny grinned darkly, lifting both of Will's legs into the air and pushing forward. With Will practically curled into himself Sonny watched Will's satisfied face.

Will, catching Sonny's eyes, smiled weakly and laughed softly. He reached his arm up and touched Sonny's jaw.

Closing his eyes tightly Sonny shouted loudly hips working against Will as he came. Panting harshly Sonny smiled at Will before pulling out and collapsed onto the couch.

So close, Paul rutted into Will quickly. Taking very little time Paul whimpered, face twisting as he spilled into his condom. "Fucking hell," he whispered before leaning down and kissing Will. "Holy shit," he praised chuckled into Will's lips.

Wincing when Paul pulled out Will reached both his hands out to take Sonny and Paul's. Will started giggling loudly, body hurting slightly.

"What," Sonny asked watching Will begin chuckling.

Will laughed loudly, chest heaving and body tingling, "I just thought Paul would be the first one to touch me and not you."

"What are you smiling about," Sonny asked softly as he sat on the counter in the bathroom.

"Just thinking about last night," Will giggled as he adjusted in the water. Turning his head and opening his eyes Will gazed between his boyfriends. "I really liked it."

"Even though you look like you were mauled," Paul asked with a slight pout.

Pushing his fingers into a few scrapes Will nodded and moaned, "That's the part I liked."

"And seeing us fight over you," Sonny said knowingly.

"And putting on a show," Paul added. Moving from the wall to sit on the closed toilet lid Paul shook his head, "You've got some serious kinks baby."

Face flushed, the steam from the bath making his hair stick to his forehead, Will nodded, "Uh huh. You don't mind, do you?"

Staring at Will looking up at him through his eyelashes Sonny shook his head. "No," he whispered.

Will closed his eyes again as his hands drifted through the water. Despite the slight pain in his body Will had never felt more at ease with himself. He had a supportive family for one of the first times in his life, for the most part. He had friends that actually cared. 'And I have boyfriends who love me and respect me that I've never trusted more.'

Sighing happily Will said quietly, "You don't have to watch me if you don't want to. I can be alone for a while."

Paul, wanting to speak to Sonny about Chad, bit his lip, "You'll be fine alone? You won't fall asleep and drown right?"

Lifting his lips upwards Will shook his head, "I promise I won't drown."

Sonny slipped on some sweatpants and a shirt. 'It's almost getting too cold to sleep naked,' Sonny thought before smiling, 'Will's gonna hate that.'

Paul, getting dressed as well, looked on Sonny before crossing his arms, "I want you to tell me why I didn't know about Chad's plan."

"What," Sonny asked as he walked out of their bedroom towards the kitchen.

"Sonny," Paul chased after him putting his hand on his elbow and turning Sonny to face him. "I'm serious. Why didn't you tell me?"

Sonny stared at Paul feeling defensive, "I only just found out the other day. It's not like I purposely kept it from you."

"You should have told me right away," Paul argued. Rolling his eyes when Sonny walked into the kitchen, "I'm serious. I don't want you keeping things like this from me."

"I didn't mean to," Sonny said loudly as he pulled a pan out of the cabinet and smacked it on the stove. "It was an accident."

"You and I," Paul gestured between the two of them, "We're supposed to be a team especially when it comes to Will." Paul pointed in the direction of the bathroom. "And yet I didn't know something major."

"I told Chad to keep Will out of it," Sonny shot back as he pulled some eggs out of the refrigerator, "I thought it was over with."

"I have to break it to you Sonny," Paul announced, "But when it comes to that family and Will it's never going to be over. Which is why the two of us need to be in this together."

Sonny held onto the counter tightly, "You're right. I'm sorry." He faced Paul again, "I should have told you."

"I don't understand why you didn't," Paul confessed feeling slightly hurt. "You know how I feel about Chad. Why would you let this blindside me?"

Putting his hand on Paul's arm Sonny shook his head, "I told you it wasn't intentional. I found out literally right before your seminar. I was going to tell you that night but then…"

"Then the hospital," Paul remembered. 'God we've spent way too long there in the short while I've been in this town.' Paul put his arm around Sonny's waist and leaned against the counter, "Tell me what happened with Chad."

"Yesterday," Sonny questioned, "Or the other day?"

"Both," Paul closed his eyes and leaned his head back, 'I really do hate that guy.'

"Stefano is under the impression that Chad wants Will for himself," Sonny explained while making a face. "Chad didn't feel the need to clarify and now Stefano is helping him steal Will away from us."

Snorting Paul commented, "That's never going to happen."

"Of course not," Sonny rested his head on Paul's shoulder, "But apparently it makes sense to Chad and Stefano. Chad told me because he wanted to ask permission. I told him no. He did it anyway."

"Idiot," Paul hissed. "What about last night? I didn't really understand everything that happened after I left."

"Ugh," Sonny groaned while rubbing his forehead. "Chad tried to kiss Will in front of my mom."

"What," Paul barked, grinding his teeth together.

Patting Paul's chest soothingly Sonny added, "Will pulled away before he got the chance. My mom got in her head that Chad was forcing himself on Will."

"Like he was going to hurt him," Paul asked incredulously. He might hate the guy but even Paul knew that was farfetched. "Chad was going to what? Toss Will on the couch and try to take him at his birthday party where the two of us, Brian and Neil plus Sami and EJ would all try to kill him."

"I didn't say it made sense," Sonny sighed. "Anyway I got her to leave and I told her I would take care of it." Pulling away from Paul Sonny went back to the stove, determined to make breakfast, "She's going to tell Sami and then everything is going to blow up."

"Well maybe Sami won't believe her," Paul moved to the barstools to sit down. "Maybe Sami knows about the plan."

"I don't know," Sonny shrugged. "Maybe. All I know is Will is not going to be involved in anything else. I want him as far away from the DiMera's as possible."

"What," Will asked as he came out of the bathroom in nothing but a towel, rivulets of water cascading down his skin. "Why don't you want me around EJ or Chad?"

"Thank you for meeting me Lucas," Adrienne said as they sat down across from each other at The Pub.

"Well when you said it was about Will," Lucas told her, "I knew it had to be important."

"It is," Adrienne nervously twisted her napkin in her hands. "I saw something yesterday between Chad and Will. Well a few things."

"Like what," Lucas demanded leaning in closer, arms resting on the table.

"I saw," Adrienne shook her head, trying to focus, "At first I remembered what you said about Chad wanting Will. I saw Chad kissing Will's hand and I thought, 'Oh my god, it's true.' But then later on he tried to kiss Will."

"What do you mean tried," Lucas licked his lips.

"Will didn't want him to," Adrienne confessed. "He tried to pull away and Chad wouldn't let him. I think," Adrienne lowered her voice, "I think Chad has been trying to hurt Will and Will is too afraid to say anything."

Lucas pulled away, back straightening, "Oh my god."

EJ sat in his office at the mansion pensively. 'The only person who could have taken the things out of my safe is Father. And if Father knows then he must know I was the one to kill William's friend.' EJ didn't want to do this but he didn't think he had much choice. Standing up EJ walked the short distance to his father's study and knocked on the door.

"Enter," Stefano called casually while looking at some photographs. Looking up Stefano smiled, "Aw, Elvis, come here and look."

EJ closed the door behind him and glanced down at the pictures. They were all of William. "What is this, Father," EJ asked cautiously.

"Just a few leftovers from Chad's gift," Stefano replied easily. Picking up a rather sweet photo of William as a toddler Stefano said, "He does look an awful lot like his mother doesn't he?"

"Yes, I suppose so," EJ agreed taking the photo when it was offered to him.

"Blonde hair, blue eyes," Stefano listed, "Stubborn but insecure. Easily bendable."

Staring at his father's face EJ watched him fiercely.

"Has a way of ensnaring someone, getting them to do what they want without them even trying," Stefano continued oblivious to Elvis's stare. "Just the kind of person we need in this family to ensure our future."

"No," EJ stated firmly, "I don't know how many times I've told you but it isn't going to happen."

"It's not up to you, my son," Stefano announced. "Chad knows what he wants and soon enough I'll have my perfect family."

"No," EJ shouted. He didn't care about Chad's stupid plan. 'This has gone on far too long.' "I refuse to allow this to happen."

"You refuse," Stefano raised his eyebrows and slammed his hands on the pictures. "And just how do you think you are going to stop me?"

"Father, this is ludicrous," EJ attempted to explain. "William is already a part of my family. Chad does not need to-"

"Do not interfere with my plans, Elvis," Stefano stated firmly. "Or else someone might reveal the stolen items I found in your office."

EJ, knowing this was coming, crossed his arms, "That doesn't matter to me."

"No," Stefano tilted his head, "I think Samantha and your children might think differently."

EJ remained silent.

"I think William would think twice about hugging you so closely," Stefano continued, "If he knew you murdered his little friend."

"William would understand," EJ insisted, "One way or another."

"But would the rest of your family," Stefano shook his head sadly. "I do not think so." Gathering all the photographs into a pile Stefano handed them over to EJ, "I think it would be best if you stayed out of my way, understand?"

"Well," Will looked between Sonny and Paul quickly, eyes squinting without his glasses, skin prickling in the chilly air.

"Will," Sonny started to say before he noticed Will was beginning to shiver.

Paul hopped off the stool and put his hand on Will's back, "Come on, you need to get dressed and to clean those cuts off."

Will, not wanting to be ignored, "You can talk to me at the same time. Now what were you talking about?"

Sonny, grabbing the bottle of disinfectant Will used when he got out of the hospital the first time and the cream Sonny was using on his burn, sat down on the bed. "It's nothing."

"It was obviously something," Will complained as he lied on the bed and opened his towel. He felt slightly unnerved being so exposed when he was upset. "Just tell me what it was."

Paul, glad to see most of Will's scrapes and cuts were already fading after soaking in the water, sat next to Will, "We were just talking about Chad and his dumb plan. We don't want you getting mixed up in anything that has to do with Chad or Stefano right now."

"But why did you say it like that," Will asked wincing slightly at the medicine on his skin, "It sounded like you didn't want me around EJ too."

'Because I don't,' Sonny thought as he rubbed along Will's stomach. "We just want you to be safe, that's it. And you know we'll do whatever we can to make that happen," Sonny assured Will.

"Well I don't really think I need to be protected from EJ," Will rolled his eyes. "Or Chad at any rate." Sitting up and looking at his skin Will added, "Besides if anything I think I need to be watching out for my dad."

"What," Paul asked suddenly as he was reaching to open the jar of cream. "I thought you hadn't talked to him?"

"I haven't," Will said, "But Adrienne did. She said something to me about my dad last night that didn't make any sense. But now that I think about it I think I need to find out."

"What kind of thing did my mom tell you," Sonny questioned sharply. "What did she say?"

Giving Sonny an odd look Will replied, "She said something about him getting everything wrong and she would explain it to him."

"That's vague," Paul mentioned, "What do you think that means?"

Will shrugged, "That's why I have to talk to my dad and find out."

"It's a little unnerving that my mom was talking to your dad at all," Sonny mumbled.

"Oh," Will asked suddenly, "What was your mom saying about seeing you with EJ?"

Sonny, keeping his eyes focused on Will's skin, "He came by Common Grounds the other day and she got the wrong idea."

"Why would that give her the wrong idea," Paul gave Sonny a strange look.

"We were talking about Will, obviously," Sonny explained, "About wanting to keep him safe and she freaked out because I said I'd do anything."

"Well that's a silly thing to freak out about," Will mused. "I mean, it's not like you said you were going to kill anyone or anything like that."

"Right," Sonny clamped his lips together. "That would be ridiculous."

Thanks for reading!

PS I was rewatching Will/Paul's bedroom scenes and I honestly couldn't stop laughing at Paul's eyes/eyebrows. Definite soap opera acting.
