Paul and Sonny were sitting in the front room of the DiMera Mansion relaxing after dinner. Paul didn't think he would ever be able to relax in this room considering he had not only seen Stefano die in it but he also saw Will being held by gun point. But with the changes Sami was doing it almost made the room unrecognizable.

'Plus watching Will with his brother and sisters is so sweet,' Paul thought watching Will help the three of them sit at a table and complete a puzzle.

'He's so good with them,' Sonny noticed as Will carefully guided Sydney to the right piece. Observing Will with Johnny, Allie and Sydney combined with what they all learned about the orphanage made Sonny think about their own future. 'Would we want to have kids someday? How would that even work with three of us?'

Shaking himself out of it Sonny tried to focus. 'It's definitely not happening now. We're way too young for that.'

When the puzzle was finally finished Will encouraged the kids to go run upstairs and play for a little bit longer before it was time for bed. Flopping onto the couch Will smiled at his boyfriends, "Sorry our Saturday's aren't more exciting."

Paul lifted one shoulder in a half shrug, "I don't know. It may not be conventional but I still kind of had fun."

"You're really good with them," Sonny acknowledged. "And I'd say after the ridiculousness of our lives having some time to just sit around and veg is kind of nice."

Will scrunched his nose and wrapped his arms around himself happily. "Well good," Will scooted closer to Sonny and put his head on his chest.

"We should probably enjoy it while it lasts," Paul sighed, arm over Sonny's shoulders. Hearing his phone start ringing Paul groaned, "Spoke too soon."

Paul looked at his phone and smiled as he answered in Japanese vaguely wondering why his grandfather would be calling him at this hour.

Sonny and Will shared a blank look. Despite Paul's best attempts the two really only knew a few basic phrases in Japanese. Will was pretty sure Sonny probably knew more than he did but in Will's defense he'd only known Paul a few months.

'At least Paul sounds hot when he's talking,' Will closed his eyes. 'Hmm kinda sounds like when I was helping that older guy earlier today. Maybe he was Japanese.'

"Grandfather," Paul greeted, "How are you?"

"Tired," Hiro chuckled as he sat down on his bed. "I had a long trip."

"Trip," Paul asked in confusion. "I didn't know you were going anywhere. You usually tell me when you leave."

"I decided it was about time I dealt with a certain situation in person," Hiro told Paul warmly. "I arrived a few hours ago and after an encounter with a rather sweet boy I took a bit of a rest in my hotel."

"OK," Paul replied pursing his lips. "Where are you?"

Hiro laughed a bit, "Why don't you come to the Salem Inn and find out?"

Paul's eyes widened as he sat up straighter on the couch, "Seriously? You're in Salem?"

"Of course," Hiro stated, "After the mess your mother seems to be making of things I knew I needed to come and talk sense into at least one of you."

Paul didn't know what to say or how to react. He loved and respected his grandfather very much and when he came out he was beyond grateful that his grandfather supported him. But at the same time he didn't know how he would react if his grandfather was openly against his relationship like his mother is.

"What, um, what do you want to do," Paul asked in a subdued voice.

"I believe I will order myself some room service while I wait for you and your boyfriends to arrive," Hiro responded with a smile. "I'll see you soon."

Paul hung up the phone and looked at Will and Sonny cautiously, "I think the relaxing part of our night is over."

Will stood in front of the mirror in his bathroom giving himself a pep talk, 'You can do this. So what if Paul's mom hates you and thinks you're a slut? That's fine. You know you're not. So what if Paul's grandpa probably thinks the same thing and they're both probably going to try to get Paul to leave you? He's not going to.'

'You can do this. You can so do this,' Will thought nervously.

"Are you OK," Sami asked leaning against the doorframe of Will's bathroom.

"Ah," Will shouted, "Geez. You scared me."

"Sorry," Sami replied, "But are you OK? You're looking a little green. Are you feeling sick?"

Will let his mother feel his forehead as he explained, "Yeah but not sick-sick, just nervous-sick."

"Well," Sami nodded, "If anything happens just do what I did and tackle them."

"Mom," Will huffed out a laugh.

Proud that she made Will laugh Sami shrugged, "What? It gets the point across." Following Will as he walked back to his room Sami said, "There's nothing for you to be nervous about."

"Right," Will rolled his eyes. "Of course not."

"I'm serious," Sami insisted, "You are sweet and shy and wonderful and I love you and if anyone thinks differently they can go fuck themselves."

"Mother," Will stared at her in shock. For all her faults Will had never really heard his mom swear like that before.

Sami gave Will a stern look, "If I have learned anything in my life Will it's to only surround yourself with people who love and respect you. Everyone else doesn't matter. So if Paul's family can't see how great you are and how luck Paul is that you love him then it's their loss not yours."

Will almost wasn't sure what to when his mom started talking like this. 'She hardly ever talks like this,' Will looked at her determined expression. Will could clearly remember hearing his mother give long, impassioned speeches about how much she loved him and needed him in her life when he was younger but over the course of the last month he finally was beginning to believe her. He finally believed that she loved him for him and not as a means to get something else.

"Thanks," Will finally said with a small smile. He made an oof sound when she grabbed him and practically squeezed the breath out of him.

"Of course," Sami let go and began fixing Will's hair and shirt. "Now, are you coming back here after or staying with Sonny and Paul?"

"Um," Will bit his lip, "Maybe there or at the house."

Sami, pretending not to hear that, smiled, "Well as long as you either stay with them or come here, got it."

"If you have a problem you can just say it," Will didn't want there to be anything building up between him and his mom. 'We're actually close for the first time in my life I don't want to ruin that.'

"I don't want you in that house, Will," Sami started explaining, "It's dangerous and who knows what else is there waiting for you. I don't understand why you want to be there at all."

"Because I want to at least feel somewhat independent," Will didn't know if his mom would even understand this, "And I know if I spend all of my time with Sonny and Paul or EJ and you I'm just going to go back to the way I was before. Where I let everyone decide things for me. I don't want to be like that again Mom."

Sami's face softened a little bit, "Are you sure you aren't just doing this to get away from your mother that bothers you all day every day?"

Feeling a bit bad that she overheard him saying that to Paul when they got there this morning Will said, "It's not because of that, because of you. I want to do this. I want the chance to prove that I can do this."

"And you promise Chad is going to move in with you," Sami crossed her arms. "Because it might be a bit tough for him to live in that room after what we found out today."

"Well," Will licked his lips, "Maybe we can do something with one of the other rooms. I don't want Chad doing anything that upsets him if I can help it."

"You should probably talk to him about it," Sami nodded. Reaching out one last time to get Will's hair to lay flat, "You really do need a haircut."

"What do you think is going to happen," Sonny asked Paul as they waited downstairs for Will. Sonny felt a little bit nervous himself but mostly he was worried about Will and Paul. He didn't want Paul having another insecurity attack like with Tori. And he didn't want Will being put in a situation where someone was going to be rude to him.

While he had never officially met Paul's grandfather the two were aware of each other. Sonny had seen him Skyping with Paul before and while the two hadn't been able to talk Hiro knew that Sonny existed. Sonny was fairly certain that Hiro had only heard about Will through Tori and he knew that couldn't be good.

"I have no idea," Paul shook his head and sighed. "I just really, really hope that by the end of this everything is settled and my mother knows that what we have is real."

Will, just walking down the stairs, smiled to himself overhearing Paul. Heading over to Sonny and Paul Will beamed at both of them.

"What's with that look," Sonny asked suspiciously.

Will just shook his head, face almost hurting from how big his smile was. Reaching out for Sonny and Paul's hands Will wrapped his hand around Paul's neck and kissed him squarely on the lips. With a loud smacking sound Will released Paul's lips and turned to Sonny. Fingers digging into Sonny's hair Will sighed into his mouth.

"I just love you two," Will announced, "That's all."

The three stood outside of Hiro's room holding their breath as Paul knocked on the door.

"Is it just me or was that concierge staring at us on our way through the lobby," Sonny asked as a means to distract everyone.

"I'm sure tomorrow's headline will be the three of us being seen in a hotel," Will rolled his eyes. "It'll break poor Chad's heart I'm already cheating on him."

Paul was going to reply when the door opened and he caught sight of his grandfather's smiling face. Paul couldn't stop the wide grin from spreading across his face. He hadn't seen his grandfather in person since he had moved to Salem to be with Sonny.

Will and Sonny both looked at each other and took the other's hand in support. Will was attempting to keep an open mind about the situation but it was definitely hard. 'I do not have any luck when it comes to meeting in-laws. I will probably come out of this situation even more traumatized than I already am.'

Will couldn't see much of Paul's grandfather. It was probably the one and only time in his life Will was annoyed that Paul was so wide, 'Stupid muscles.'

"Paul-san," Hiro welcomed as he hugged his grandson quickly. He wasn't one for westernized greetings but he had learned for his grandson's sake. Taking a step backwards Hiro took in Paul's face.

'He looks older,' Hiro observed. He immediately took note of the slight strain across Paul's face and the way he seemed to be just a little bit apprehensive to see his grandfather.

Glancing over Paul's shoulder Hiro first saw the man that was at one point in time going to marry his grandson. Holding his hand was the very same boy he met that afternoon. Hiro had been thinking about it since he discovered the boy's identity and he couldn't reconcile this boy with the one his daughter described.

"Won't you come in," Hiro stepped aside and swept his arm in front of him indicating everyone should come inside.

Will, looking at how cool and calm Sonny looked, tried to emulate him. Closing his eyes and inhaling and exhaling a few times Will tried to relax. Upon opening his eyes though Will felt his breath catch a bit when he saw exactly who Paul's grandfather was. 'Oh god I already made an idiot out of myself and I didn't even realize it.'

Paul rotated a bit and reached out for Sonny's hand, pulling Sonny and Will inside. He paced a few times, uncertain what was going to happen now, how this was going to play out. 'And why isn't mother here,' Paul wondered knowing that she was staying in this very hotel.

Sonny, having to yank on Will's hand to get him to move, gave him a strange look as Paul's grandfather closed the door behind him. 'What's with that face,' Sonny thought as he saw Will's panicked eyes.

Realizing that there was going to be a bit of a language barrier here Paul cleared his throat and said, "Grandfather, this is Sonny Kiriakis and Will Horton." Switching back to English Paul smiled at his boyfriends, "And this is my grandfather Hiro Narita."

Hiro nodded at his grandson before picking up his phone and finding the app Will helped him download earlier.

Will hid his face behind Sonny's shoulder feeling embarrassed. 'I dragged Paul's grandpa to this hotel and rambled like an idiot the whole time.' He couldn't remember if he said anything stupid or not during the short duration they were together.

Sonny smiled at Hiro as he rocked back and forth on his heels and tried to get Will to stop hiding behind him. 'What has gotten into him?'

Watching his grandfather fiddle with his phone curiously Paul couldn't figure out what in the world was going on.

Talking into the phone Hiro said, "It's a pleasure to finally meet you Sonny. And I actually met Will earlier today."

Sonny and Paul were both surprised when they heard the automated voice coming out of the phone in English. Paul was especially surprised since the translation actually made sense in both languages.

Taking a moment to process what he heard Paul said, "Wait what? When did you meet Will?"

"This afternoon," Hiro explained, smiling at Will's pink cheeks, "I was a bit lost and he offered to show me to this hotel, downloaded this app for me. He was very helpful."

When everyone turned to stare at him Will backed away from Sonny slightly, "I didn't know he was your grandpa. I just thought he was lost." Seeing the judgmental look on Paul's face Will defended, "Am I supposed to think that every Asian person I see is related to you?"

"In this town," Paul scoffed feeling a bit confused, "It's probably a safe bet."

Sonny rolled his eyes, "You seriously stopped to help a stranger find a hotel? For the moment I'm going to ignore how dangerous that was and focus on how sweet you are."

Cheeks warming up again Will looked at his feet sheepishly, "I just tried to help."

Hiro keenly watched the three interact. He saw the easy way they all conversed and while he wasn't entirely sure what they were saying, he could see that they all cared for each other.

'Particularly Paul,' Hiro believed. He had never seen that look in Paul's eyes before as Paul's gaze turned from Sonny to Will. 'I've seen him happy before but never like this.'

Speaking into the phone Hiro requested, "Why don't we all sit down and you can all explain to me exactly how you three came to be together? And what this business about articles and fighting mothers and wedding announcements are?"

Paul looked at Sonny and Will, gesturing with his head for them to take a seat in the chairs nearby. Paul, knowing that Sonny and Will already knew everything he had to say, spoke directly to his grandfather.

"When I first got injured I knew that I wanted to have my surgery here. They had a surgeon that could handle it and physical therapists. And Sonny," Paul started to explain. "I had missed him so much when he decided to move here. And when I got here I met Sonny's friend and I was so ridiculously jealous." Paul smiled and shook his head at himself, "I just thought what in the world was Sonny thinking being around this hot, dumb blonde when he was engaged to me. And then I got to know him, Grandfather, got to know Will."

"And you obviously liked what you found out," Hiro nodded indicating Paul should continue.

"Actually I didn't like him at first, for a long time," Paul admitted remembering how he used to think about Will. How he thought of Will as someone unworthy of either Sonny or his attention. "After I was out of the hospital Sonny convinced me and Will to try to get along. Actually I tried to get Sonny to stay away from Will and it backfired on me. Will started coming over and we got to talking. I don't even know when my feelings started to change but they did. Every bad thought I had about Will was proven wrong."

"So you had a crush," Hiro was beginning to understand everything better.

Paul nodded, "Yeah. And Sonny started noticing, everyone noticed except Will. During all of this Will was really struggling about coming out. He was so confused and he really hated himself for a long time. When he finally started coming to terms with it he started seeing this guy, Neil."

Hiro lifted his eyebrows, beginning to wonder where this was all going.

"And I hated him so much," Paul confessed. "I knew him before that was friendly with him even, but the second he expressed an interest in Will none of that mattered. They went on a date to a club and I was so jealous I went over there and broke it up."

Paul crossed his arms, knowing that he should be truthful. He wished he had talked to Will and Sonny about this before they came in the room but he wanted to do this. He wanted to tell his grandfather the whole story, their whole story.

"What happened next," Hiro questioned not liking the look on Paul's face.

Paul pressed his lips together, "I made a huge mistake. When I got to the club Will was really drunk and I took him home and put him in my bed, the one I shared with Sonny. And Will was so out of it, had no idea what he was doing and I took advantage of him."

Hiro's mouth dropped open a bit, eyebrows furrowing. He had heard Tori screaming about Will's mother lying about Paul but here Paul was telling him it was true. 'I don't know what to think,' Hiro looked at Paul expectantly.

"I didn't, I didn't do that," Paul rushed to explain, "I just touched him. The next morning Will couldn't remember anything and I didn't tell him. I didn't tell Sonny either. And I just kept making everything worse because I had been so cold to Sonny once I realized I had feelings for Will. I didn't know if I wanted to be with Sonny anymore or not."

Paul was glad Sonny and Will couldn't understand him right now because he had never told either of them that before. That for a little while he had thought about leaving Sonny and pursuing something with Will. He never wanted either to know that.

"But I realized," Paul blinked away a few tears, face scrunching together, "I realized that I did still love Sonny. That just because I had feelings for Will didn't mean I couldn't still love Sonny. I was just confused because things had been so tense between Sonny and me. But they were tense because I was confused and didn't know how to handle it."

"Alright," Hiro was surprised and slightly disappointed in Paul hearing the things he had done to Will and Sonny, 'But they must have moved on from that to be here now.'

"Sonny and I talked about my feelings for Will," Paul continued, "And I knew this whole time, I knew from the moment I met Will, that Sonny had feelings for him too. So we kind of yelled it out but decided that we wanted to be with him too. It was hard convincing Will that we wanted him for something other than sex but we managed. And things were good for a while, great, until the article."

"I saw that one, yes," Hiro remembered reading it and thinking there was no way it could be true. His grandson would never do any of the things it alleged but listening to Paul now it didn't sound quite so farfetched.

"And it was so wrong," Paul insisted, remembering every single rumor and problem that started because of it, 'Because of what I did.' "Nothing was ever Will's fault, Grandfather. And that article only happened because Will's friend and his dad figured out what I did the night he was drunk. They tried to write something that would make me look bad and instead it backfired and everything snowballed from there."

Taking a deep breath Paul blew it out and slumped his shoulders, "I tried to work everything out with Will and Sonny, to get them to trust me again. And I finally got them both back but it's been one horrible incident after another with us. And even though things are rough sometimes and we don't always make the best choices I love them. And they love me."

Hiro stared at Paul for a few moments before saying, "I'd like to talk with Sonny now."

Sonny and Will sat on a few chairs at the side of the room having no idea what Paul was talking about. They could hear their names every now and again but that was it.

"He looks upset," Will commented lowly looking at Paul's face.

Sonny nodded and sighed, "Yeah but his grandpa doesn't. He looks like he's actually understanding."

Will's tongue dug into his lip hoping that was the case. He didn't know what he would do if he had to deal with another relative that wanted to break them up.

"Sonny," Paul called from his spot on the bed, "He wants to talk to you."

Sonny smiled at Hiro nervously, running his sweaty palms along the outside of his jeans once he sat down on the bed. He didn't want to admit it to Will when they were alone but he was just as scared as Will was.

"I have some questions," Hiro told Sonny, "That I would like you to answer as honestly as possible."

"OK," Sonny agreed. 'At least he's letting us talk instead of making assumptions.'

"Why did you ask my grandson to marry you," Hiro questioned looking into Sonny's eyes.

"Oh," Sonny blinked a few times, not having expected that, "Um, well at the time I thought I asked him because I loved him."

"But," Hiro said into his phone after hearing the translation.

"Now I know it was because I wanted proof that he loved me. He was always putting baseball ahead of me and we would only meet up in hotel rooms. And I loved him, I still do, but I wanted him to prove it to me. I knew that if he really loved me as much as he said he did he would say yes and we could really be together," Sonny explained hoping that he didn't sound awful to Hiro.

"I see," Hiro said, "And what about Will?" Hiro glanced over at the anxious looking blonde, smiling slightly when he saw Paul holding both of Will's hands. "How did he come into the picture for you if you were so in love with Paul?"

Sonny winced slightly, he hated the assumption that just because he loved Paul he wasn't allowed to notice Will. 'And the fact that I denied my feelings for so long because I was afraid of that myself.'

"I met Will almost immediately after I came back to Salem. He had a girlfriend then and he was a ridiculously hot mess but he was sweet. And he was always standing up for me when one of his friends would talk bad about me being gay," Sonny remembered, "He asked me so many questions and was just a really great to me. I tried for the longest time to pretend I didn't notice Will as anything other than a friend."

"And," Sonny closed his eyes, "I was so upset when Will and Paul started spending time together. Even though I'm the one that encouraged it I was just so jealous of both of them. When Paul said that he had feelings for Will I was so angry. Which was hypocritical because I'd liked Will for even longer than he did."

"Getting together with Will, falling in love with him, adjusting to a new life for all three of us," Sonny explained, "It's been really hard and just when we think we're settled something else happens to ruin it. Or we ruin it ourselves. But I wouldn't trade the three of us for anything. And no one is going to convince me otherwise."

"Good," Hiro nodded and smiled at Sonny gently. "Can you have Will come over here, please?"

Will sat down gingerly on the bed, hands constantly moving, playing with the hem of his shirt, his watch, his bracelet. He saw Hiro talking with Sonny and knew Sonny must have made a good impression. 'Of course he would, who wouldn't like him,' Will thought as he waited for Hiro to say something to him. 'Sonny's nice and sweet and no one judges him before they meet him.'

Hiro tilted his head and watched as Will seemed to be panicking. "You don't need to be nervous," Hiro informed Will. "I'm not going to attack you."

"Right," Will said, "Of course you aren't. Right, I knew that."

"So," Hiro cut off Will's rambling, "All I know about you is from my grandson, your boyfriend, my daughter and the internet. Why don't you tell me something real about Will Horton?"

"Something real," Will repeated not sure what Hiro was looking for.

"Tell me anything that you want me to know," Hiro elaborated, "Anything you would want to share."

Will gulped and tried to wrack his brain for something that made him look interesting and worthy of dating Paul and Sonny. That would explain why they both managed to fall in love with Will while still making Will look good.

'Oh god,' Will began to feel flustered, 'Oh god I can't think of anything.' Will floundered about before giving up and telling Hiro the first thing that came to his mind, "I'm going to help EJ propose to my mom."

"EJ," Hiro asked in confusion once Will finally answered.

"Yeah," Will nodded. "He's my step-dad, or well he's not anymore but he will be, but I like to think of him as my real dad sometimes."

Hiro looked at Will blankly not following at all.

Will closed his eyes, "My mom's been married a lot of times. I think this is going to be the fifth time but I'm not sure. She was married to EJ once before and they have two children together. I'm the oldest and even though my siblings so much younger than me I love them to pieces."

'Why am I telling him this,' Will thought but he couldn't make himself stop. "Anyway I always hated EJ when they were married before. Well, hated him but I was also kind of envious. I saw the way he was with my brother and sister and I wanted that too. My parents were never that attentive to me growing up."

Will sighed, "And over the years EJ and I have gone through a lot of crazy things but lately he's been so great. Well, sometimes he drives me crazy," Will thought back to all the horrible things he did, "But I realized how much I really love him. And how much he really loves my mom and my brother and sisters and me."

"So you're going to help him propose," Hiro clarified. Through all of Will's rambling Hiro was beginning to see exactly what type of person Will was, how he was raised and how he felt about his family.

"I wasn't sure at first," Will admitted, "With as many times as my mom's been married or almost married I was afraid this was going to end up in disaster too. EJ's hurt my mom so badly so many times. My mom's done the same to EJ. But they keep ending up back together. This time though I think is going to be it. I hope it is at least. They both deserve it."

Hiro nodded, "How many siblings do you have?"

"Three," Will replied, "There's me and Johnny and Allie are twins, even though they have different father's," Will quickly continued, "And there's Sydney. Johnny and Sydney are EJ's and Allie and me are my dad's."

"I see," Hiro stared at Will for a moment or two before deciding he didn't need to know the details. "Now, about your mother," Hiro figured he might as well ask, "Exactly what was the reason for the altercation?"

Will rushed out quickly, "I'm so sorry about that. My mom, she just gets really crazy sometimes, and impulsive and well Paul's mom just really made her angry and she kind of pounced."

"Exactly what did my daughter say," Hiro requested as Tori didn't make that clear to him.

"Well," Will looked down at his hands, "I guess she told my mom that I was a slut and that I was probably sleeping with EJ and a bunch of other guys."

"I see," Hiro stated, "And I take it you aren't?" Laughing at the disgusted look on Will's face Hiro smiled, "I see. Now what was this about a wedding?"

"That's just ridiculous," Will rolled his eyes, "Chad is EJ's brother and we're friends. Their father died recently and he was crazy. He thought Chad and I liked each other even though Chad's not gay. He got it in his head that we should get married and live happily ever after."

"So it really was just an unhappy accident then," despite how strange he found the situation Hiro believed Will. Hiro had not seen anything that would indicate that Will was lying to him.

"Unfortunately," Will made a face, "That seems to be my life lately. One accident after another."

"And Paul and Sonny," Hiro looked over at the two of them who were clearly trying to look inconspicuous with their eavesdropping. "Were they an accident?"

"No," Will shook his head. "No they weren't an accident. They just took me by surprise. Why would they," Will gestured at his boyfriends, "Want anything to do with someone like me? I'm young and stupid and I have more trouble following me than I know what to do with."

"From what they both told me you are much more than that," Hiro gave Will a kind smile.

"Yeah," Will looked at Hiro briefly, "It's just hard every now and again to remember that they think I'm worth it. That I think I'm worth it when I have so many people telling me I'm not."

Hiro nodded at Will before standing up and announcing to Paul, "I'd say it's time to invite your mother over."

Tori knocked on the door to her father's hotel room. She could hardly believe that he flew all the way to Salem for this. With the way their last conversation ended Tori was convinced he would be of no help to her.

Hiro opened the door and looked at his daughter sternly. He didn't want to make any quick judgments but from the looks of things Tori hadn't quite understood the situation Paul found himself in.

Stepping aside to let her into the room Hiro took a deep breath and braced himself for the long conversation to come.

Tori, speaking to her father rapidly, "I cannot tell you how relieved I am that you would come all the way…" Tori trailed off as soon as she saw the other occupants in the room. Glaring at the blonde sitting entirely too close to her son Tori rounded on her father, "What is going on here?"

Hearing the soft click of the door closing Hiro calmly explained, "I am getting to the bottom of this before it gets any worse."

"How could it possible get any worse," Tori demanded, voice getting higher and angrier. Gesturing at Will Tori sneered, "With that thing in the room-"

"Hey," Paul stood up and moved towards his mother. He knew deep down that she would react this way. That she would take one look at Will and assume the worst. For one brief moment Paul thought back to earlier in the evening when they were eating dinner. Despite the horrible things that had happened between Sonny and Paul with Will's family they still always managed to work things out. 'How can Sami and EJ manage to tolerate us, let us share parts of their home life, and my mother can't even refer to Will as a person?'

"You don't get to talk about him like that," Paul said, tone firm but respectful.

"Tori," Hiro shook his head in disappointment, "Have you even talked to your son about this? About Will and Sonny?"

"I listened to him when I first arrived," Tori shrugged, jaw set and lips pursed. "Everything was made clear the moment I came to town."

Sonny scooted closer to Will and grabbed his hand. Neither of them could understand what anyone was saying but Sonny had the feeling that was probably a good thing.

Will clutched Sonny's hand tightly and gazed at Paul, trying to decipher how the situation was coming along. 'Not well,' Will noticed as Paul clenched his fists together. He kept holding his phone out hoping his app would be able to catch anything they were saying but it was useless.

"You haven't listened to anything I've said since you got here," Paul argued, "Even before that I tried to explain it to you."

"No," Tori shook her head, black hair flying around her face, "I knew exactly what was happening and now you're trying to save face."

"I lied to you," Paul insisted, trying to keep his cool, "I shouldn't have made you think that about Will but I knew you would react this way. I knew you would take it like this."

"What else am I supposed to think," Tori crossed her arms and appealed to her father. "This is ridiculous and embarrassing."

"Embarrassing," Paul repeated taking a step away from his mother. "What is embarrassing? That I'm gay or that I have two boyfriends?"

Tori narrowed her eyes, "That you would do this to your family."

"What did I do," Paul asked in exasperation, "Fall in love? Have sex? What?"

Tori closed her eyes and turned her head to the side, "Stop it."

"No," Paul stood up straighter, ignoring the lingering pain in his shoulder, "No. Being with Will and Sonny is not embarrassing. Whatever rumors are floating around are not embarrassing to me because I know they aren't true."

Looking directly at his mother Paul stated, "Being in love with them, being with them," Paul pointed towards Sonny and Will on the bed, "Is the best thing that's ever happened to me. It hasn't been easy and I doubt it ever will be. But I've been happier and angrier and terrified more than I've ever been. And I'm not apologizing for that, ever."

Tori didn't want to look at Paul's face, could barely stand the sincerity in his voice.

Closing his eyes, knowing his mother needed to know, Paul confessed, "Actually I take that back. The only embarrassing thing I've ever done to my family is cheat on Sonny and touch Will inappropriately."

Tori turned back to Paul in shock, "What are you talking about?"

"Exactly what I said, exactly what Sami said," Paul held his mother's gaze. "I don't know why you think so poorly of Will when all he's ever done is put his trust in me. All he's ever done is trust me and forgive me even when I hurt him. So if you want to think that someone in this relationship is a monster that would be me."

"Stop that," Tori shouted, "There is nothing wrong with you! Whatever happened that night I'm sure was his fault!" Tori pointed and sneered at Will.

"How," Paul lifted his arms up and dropped them back down, "How is it his fault? He was drunk when I touched him. How is that his fault?"

Tori shot a glance at Will quickly before looking back at Paul, "Did he have a crush on you when this happened?"

"What does that have to do with anything," Paul wondered taken aback by the turn in the conversation.

"Because I'm sure he did," Tori raised her eyebrows, "I'm sure he was desperate for whatever you gave him."

"He didn't know what was happening," Paul hissed from between clenched teeth.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that," Tori snorted.

"There is no way you can twist this around to be Will's fault," Paul closed his eyes, trying not to shout at his mother, "I'm the one that took him to my apartment. I'm the one that put him in my bed. I'm the one that kissed him and I'm the one that touched him when he fell asleep."

"Nothing about that was Will's fault," Paul opened his eyes. "And I get to live with that for the rest of my life but I was lucky enough for him to forgive me, for Sonny to forgive me."

"I'm not perfect, Mother," Paul declared. "And I'm sorry if that's disappointing to you. But I'm not sorry for being gay and I'm not sorry for being in love with two people. So either you can learn to accept it or you can leave."

Tori watched Paul as he turned away from her and sat on the bed. Seeing the way Will and Sonny both instantly moved so that he was in between them, their hands touching his arm and his neck and his face, Tori didn't know what to believe.

Hiro, having witnessed the entire situation, stepped closer to his daughter. "Is it so hard for you to see what I see when I look at Paul?"

Tori glanced once more at her son. At the two young men doting on him and whispering to him quietly. Paul's words were playing over and over again in her mind, 'I'm not sorry for being in love with two people.'

"What do you think she's going to do now," Sonny asked as he ran his fingers through Paul's hair as they reclined on the couch in the apartment's front room.

"I don't know," Paul sighed, eyes blinking slowly. He pulled Will tighter against him as he enjoyed Sonny's gentle touch.

"I think it will work out," Will confessed, turning slightly so his chin rested on Paul's stomach. Once he was certain he had Paul's attention Will gave him a hint of a smile, "I saw the way she was looking at you when we left. I've seen that look hundreds of times on my mom's face."

"What look is that," Paul asked trying not to get his hopes up.

"That would be the look of a parent who loves their child more than anything but doesn't want to admit they're wrong," Will informed him. "I'm an expert at spotting that look."

Sonny smiled down at Will as Will started rambling a bit, trying to distract Paul.

"Now," Will shimmied down the couch a bit, "I promised you, to myself in secret so really I promised myself, that as a payment for dealing with my mom all day you would get as many blowjobs as you wanted. Of course," Will put his hand on the button on Paul's jeans, "I could do it now. But I would suggest holding off until you really, really need it."

"Oh yeah," Paul gave Will a half smile knowing he was trying to divert his attention.

"Yeah," Will nodded, "Because the one you're getting right now? Totally free of charge."

"This one's on the house," Sonny laughed as he adjusted Paul and started rubbing up and down his chest.

"I'm feeling generous," Will teased.

"I'm definitely keeping in mind that you said I can have as many blowjobs as I want," Paul threatened Will slightly as he closed his eyes and relaxed.

Author's note:

Oh Will a blowjob can't fix everything but Paul's gonna keep letting him try.

What do you think is going to happen with Tori now?
