Will+Sonny Fanfic - Will and Sonny meet on 11-9-2012 after their fight - Part Three
Part Three
Setting: Sonny's Apartment/Sami's Apartment/Bradys Pub
When Sonny got home, his head was spinning and his heart was racing. He opened the fridge and drank a full bottle of water and then he sat in the leather chair and stared at the wall. The cool leather and the water helped him to relax. Sonny was not sure how much time passed before he was able to formulate a clear thought in his head, but when he did the thought was a concern for Will. He had looked thinner and tired and there were dark circles under his liquid blue eyes. Was he unwell? Was it possible that the time apart impacted him to that degree? If the latter was true, then Sonny had underestimated Will’s depth of feeling in their relationship. This morning he knew he was right, but now he had a seed of doubt. Maybe he was too harsh with Will, or at least not as careful with him as he promised Kate he would be. These thoughts left Sonny saddened.
What would he do tonight? The thought of seeing Will again gave him energy that he had lost since their fight. Yes, there was still pain and now fresh pain with the news he learned today, but there was also anticipation.
He thought again of Will’s face, and how he so often could see the tenderness in his expression. He may not have been open with his feelings in his words, but that expression he gave to Sonny so often was very genuine and vulnerable and only for Sonny. They had both caused the other pain, but they had also been very honest today and Sonny could feel the beginnings of soothing and healing as he pictured Will in his mind. With that image, he decided. He would open himself fully to this second chance. He would judge Will’s words and actions when they were together, but Sonny would no longer put up any road blocks. He continued to feel anxious about the way Will looked today. Well at least they would be eating, so Will wouldn’t be getting thinner today.
With a feeling of new beginning, Sonny began to prepare for possibilities tonight. He laid his clothes on the bed and took a shower. Once dressed and refreshed, he tidied his apartment, went to the grocery store and looked forward to seeing Will again.

Will reached his bedroom and collapsed on the bed. For the first time in seven days, he felt he might be able to rest peacefully. He decided an hour and 20 minutes was what he needed so he slipped off his jeans and set the alarm clock. As soon as his head hit the pillow, he remembered the hint of a smile he saw on Sonny’s face as he was leaving and he fell into a peaceful sleep.
Will woke to the sound of beeping and it took a moment for him to figure out what day and time of day it was. It only took a moment longer for him to remember he was going to dinner with Sonny tonight. Will jumped out of bed and looked at his rumpled clothes and the jeans on the floor. He would shower, put on fresh clothes and then he would get ready mentally for the night.
Will selected a light blue button down shirt and dark blue jeans pairing the outfit with black dress shoes. As he gazed in the mirror he decided he looked better. He was glad he rested. He decided to go for a walk to clear his head and prepare for meeting Sonny again. He had to win him back tonight.
It was 10 minutes to 7 so Will decided to head toward the pub. He definitely didn’t want to be late even though he was nearby. As he turned the corner, he saw Sonny leaning against the gate by the front door, where they had shared their first kiss. Will froze struck by the memory which reminded him that Sonny chose him that day. Sonny went out of his way to find him and clear up the misunderstanding. Hopefully, he still felt that way. Will started walking again toward the pub and now Sonny saw him and watched him come toward him. Will saw a softness in his eyes and face that wasn’t there this afternoon and he picked up his pace to reach him faster.
