Will: I think I might be gay.

Marlena: That’s it?

Will: Yeah. [laughs]I said- I- I sad, “I think I might be gay.”

Marlena:  Mm-hmm

Will: I told you that I kissed Neil because I was drunk, but I don’t- I-

Marlena: I-

Will: I- In-

Marlena: I think it’s okay.

Will: You think it’s okay?

Marlena: Yeah. Remember that Lady Gaga song you played for me once? Where she said that sexuality is like the colour of your eyes?

Will: [chuckles]

Marlena: It’s a thing that you’re born with? Well, I happen to agree with that. You were born with great good looks and charm and wisdom and a wonderful future. And if you’re figuring something about yourself now and acknowledging it, it’s nothing to be ashamed of. It’s a cause for celebration.

Will: Well, wait, I didn’t say I was- I was sure that I was gay.

Marlena: Okay.

Will: I mean, I don’t want… like Grandma Caroline in church praying for my soul, trying to save me from eternal damnation.

Marlena: [Laughing] Honey, do you think there has never been a Brady or DiMera that was gay?

Will: Well, if there was, he didn’t let anyone find out about it.

Marlena: [chuckles]

Marlena starts to text someone.

Will: Excuse me, who are you calling?

Marlena: I’m just- you know, I don’t think I really have to be at that dinner party to represent Basic Black. I thought I’d just cancel.

Will: No, no, no, don’t. Come on.

Marlena: I love talking to you, I like being with you.

Will: I love talking to you, but you always change your plans for me… 

Marlena: It’s o-

Will: I can’t- I can’t- I actually have top pick up my friends and I’m late for that, so I GOT TO GO.

Marlena: Well I-

Will: I’m sorry.

Will leaves.

Gabi, Chad and Melanie arrive at the coffee house. Gabi spots Will.

Gabi: Will’s here. Hey.

Chad: How about that?

Gabi: We were worried about you.

Chad: Oh, hi.

Will: Uh, yeah, sorry [laughs]

Chad: Oh, don’t sweat it, we got there on our own.

Gabi: It was fantastic, okay, we drank champagne, and we met all these fabulous people, I had a great time.

Melanie: Yeah, it was great.

Gabi: Hey, you know what? I have an idea. Since- since we’re already dressed up, and Will can obviously get dressed up, why don’t we go hit up a club?

Chad: You know, maybe another time. Melanie and I are headed back to my place.

Melanie: Oh, we are?

Chad: Yeah, we are.

Gabi: Oh, okay.

Gabi has flashback of scheme-y-ness

Gabi: Yeah, you guys have a great time. I- Will and I have a lot of catching up to do.

Gabi and will are walking outside.

Will: So, what’s the deal with you and Chad?

Gabi: There’s no deal.

Will: Hmm.

Gabi: Your apartment, by the way, is amazing.

Will: Thank you. Seriously, though, don’t change the subject. What’s the deal?

Gabi: I don’t want to talk about Chad. I want to know why EJ pays your rent, and why he bought you your car.

Will: Uh, perks of the job.

Gabi: Okay, most people would be happy with dental care. How does your mom feel about you working for EJ?

Will: Oh, she loves it.

Gabi: Okay, what about Rafe?

Will: Um, he doesn’t get a vote anymore.

Gabi: So you honestly like working for EJ?

Will: Yeah. I mean, I didn’t at first, but, um, it turned out better than I expected.

*

Gabi: If you’re happy, that’s all that matters. I mean, it’s cool that you’re getting everything you want.

Will: Not everything I want.

Gabi: But you could, right? I mean, technically, if you had somebody backing you up.

Will: What somebody?

Gabi: Maybe it could help to have a woman around.

Will: Okay. What are you getting at?

*

Gabi: Why are you looking at me like that?

Will: Oh, I’m just trying to figure out what you want.

Gabi: [sighs] Will, my whole life, I’ve done everything by the book. Uh, I mean, that’s just how I was raised.

Will: Oh yeah, me too, believe it or not.

Gabi: But you know, sometimes when you do everything by the book…  Well, then you... you just end up with the book.

Will: Yeah. And sometimes the people telling you to live one way aren’t doing it themselves.

Gabi: Exactly. I mean, you’re working for EJ, and your life is better, right?

Will: Yeah.

Gabi: I mean, waiting around for things to happen a lot of the time just gets you nowhere. I think bending the rules a little bit isn’t bad.

Will: Well, I agree.

Gabi: Teach me how you did it.

Will: Did what?

Gabi: Stopped being perfect Will and got EJ to do all of this for you.

Will: Okay, how- what do I get out of it?

Gabi: Well, I meant it when I said we could both help each other.

Marlena walks in.

Marlena: Hey, Will.

Will: Grandma?

Marlena: Hi, Gabi.

Gabi: Hi.

Will: Hi, what’s up?

Marlena: Hi.

Will: Didn’t you have some dinner you were supposed to go to?

Marlena: “Wha’s up?” How did I raise you? Yes, dinner ended early, and- oh, maybe we have some time for coffee.

Will: Um… Uh, some other time, I guess. Uh, yeah, Gabi and I are about to go out and do activites, so-

Marlena: So, okay.

Will: Later, good night, see ya.

Gabi: Night.

Marlena: Good night, good night.

Will and Gabi leave.

Marlena: Really?

Marlena: Really?

LOL! Sounds good! Oh, Gabi.

"Do activities" ahahaha Will's been taking lessons on (how to fail at) nonchalance from CARTOONS! He sounds like Sokka from Avatar: The Last Airbender.

LOL I was just going to comment on that line. Who even says that? /o\

[ariadne83]

Someone who's trying desperately to come up with a plausible lie and failing epically because his heart isn't in it. Oh Will, BB, just come out already.
