Fanfic - Love Is Not A Victory March
This fanfic picks up during Friday’s episode (11-30-12) and will add some off screen details in the next chapters. This first chapter just adds their points of view in addition to what we saw on the screen. This will probably be a few chapters and will loosely follow the storyline to come referencing some spoilers but also with my own ideas added to it. My ideas will be projecting what I wish would happen considering the limits of what already has happened and what the spoilers have indicated.
This chapter doesn't contain contents of SPOILERS but future chapters will, so do not read if you do not want to learn of spoilers.
The title is from “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen.
Will’s POV
There was one dominant thought in Will’s mind as he pulled his car into the parking lot of Common Grounds. He had to see Sonny now. He had just left Gabi’s and he tried to put Gabi, Nick, Chad and the baby out of his mind for now. Every cell in his body ached to tell Sonny about the issue he was grappling with, but he had promised to wait a day before saying anything. A day seemed fair, for Gabi, but he wouldn’t have agreed to more. With determination, he took a long deep breath of the fresh and crisp autumn air before opening the door.
As Will walked in, he spotted Sonny a moment before Sonny saw him.
Sonny smiled as he greeted Will, “Hey.”
“Hey. Hi,” Will replied as he felt his body relax by a margin in response to Sonny’s proximity.
“What's going on? How'd it go with, uh, Gabi and Chad?” Sonny asked with anxious interest.
Will ran through the memory in his mind focusing on Nick’s words which still really bothered him, but he had promised one day so he pushed those thoughts aside, saying “It went great.”
Will focused on the present. He desperately needed to be with Sonny right now. He needed to turn his world right side up again even if only for a few hours. Even more than that, he urgently needed to show Sonny again how important he was. He needed to communicate without words how much he loved Sonny and how he treasured their intimacy.
“You look a little upset. Did Chad say something to you?,” Sonny asked looking skeptical.
Driven by his desire and need for handsome man in front of him, Will pressed on, “No, you know what? I don't want to talk about it at all. But I really do want to be with you right now. “
While Will was saying this, he acted on an impulse and tugged at the apron around Sonny’s waist until it came loose. Sonny grabbed the apron with is free hand as a blinding smile illuminated his face. Will’s body responded with his heart clenching like there was a metal clamp squeezing it. He was painfully happy seeing Sonny’s reaction to his desire. Excitement spread from his heart to every limb.
As passion was clouding Will’s senses, he tried to focus on the words coming from Sonny’s lips, “Yes. Sure. Um, hey, Lauren... uh, do you--I'm going to get out of here for a Sonny little bit. Can you just kind of, like, watch over the place?”
“Sure,” Lauren confirmed.
“All right,” Sonny said with an energized smile.
“Let's get out of here,” added Will, as they quickly left Common Grounds on their way back to bed.
Sonny’s POV
Sonny was really worried about Will. It felt like, just when things should be perfect for them, something was pulling him away from Sonny. It reminded him of when Will was working for EJ. Sonny was ready to stand beside him then no matter what the challenge and he was just as committed now, if only Will would let him in.
As Sonny was working, he reminisced about their first night together. Everything was perfect, or beyond perfect, and that was the word they both had used. Will was so bold and assertive, starting with the moment when he said, ‘I don’t want to be here another minute’. Will seemed so certain about what he wanted and the amazing thing was that Sonny was what he wanted. The thought brought a joy to his heart that he really couldn’t fathom still. After long months of longing for Will, it was still just too much to feel all at once. With the confused Will, Sonny had to continually hold back from touching his knee or kissing his cheek. Of course, he did sometimes touch Will then but only one twentieth of the times he actually felt the impulse. Sonny had always found Will incredibly sexy, but the new assertive Will, Sonny found him utterly irresistible.
All that aside, what he enjoyed the most was their emotional closeness. From the beginnings of their friendship they really enjoyed each other’s company and had always been loyal and true friends and now there was so much more depth to their bond. And last night, Will was really opening up to him, talking sincerely about his feelings. Yes, Sonny had to prod it out of him, but once he started talking Sonny could tell he wasn’t holding back and it was sincere. After Gabi’s visit, that changed, Will was less open again and now Sonny was worried.
Just then as Sonny looked up he spotted Will coming toward him. He was relieved. Now that he was back, maybe they could talk.
“Hey,” Sonny said with a smile.
“Hey. Hi,” Will replied looking happy to see him.
“What's going on? How'd it go with, uh, Gabi and Chad?” Sonny asked with anxious interest. As he finished this question, Sonny watch Will visible tense up and his eyes got that wide faraway look just like when he came back from talking with Gabi.
“It went great,” he said, but his face said ‘it was awful’ and ‘if we talk about it, I might cry’.
Clearly something about Gabi was really upsetting Will and it probably was worsened by Nick who seemed really cold to both Sonny and Will and then of course, Chad definitely would have aggravated whatever the trouble is.
“You look a little upset. Did Chad say something to you?,” Sonny asked looking skeptical. Sonny didn’t want to push too much yet. Sonny just wanted to support Will, for now at least. He knew Will and Gabi were close friends and whatever was happening, Will was trying to help her and Sonny didn’t want to get in the way of that.
“No, you know what? I don't want to talk about it at all. But I really do want to be with you right now.”
While Will was saying these words, he inserted his hand between Sonny’s apron and the zipper of his jeans and gave a tug that pulled his apron right off. Sonny was so surprised and thrilled at the same time, but he managed to grab the apron with his free hand before it fell to the floor. God, he was sexy, this new Will who was afraid to take what he wanted. Suddenly, Sonny couldn’t think of anything but getting Will to his bed quickly and he felt a smile spread across his face.
He was almost stuttering from excitement as he said, “Yes. Sure. Um, hey, Lauren... uh, do you--I'm going to get out of here for a Sonny little bit. Can you just kind of, like, watch over the place?”
“Sure,” Lauren confirmed.
“All right,” Sonny said turning back to Will.
“Let's get out of here,” added Will, as they quickly left Common Grounds on their way back to bed.
