What We Do for Love

To most people the simple act of pacing was nothing more then a nervous habit.

However to Sir Guy of Gisborne, it was an art he had mastered. The only sound in the room was the noise his boots made on the stone floor. Then the door opened.

"Sir Guy," came a feminine voice behind him. Guy turned to face Lady Marian. He saw how Marian's face slightly relaxed as she pulled back a lock of her brown hair. Two months ago Guy would have given anything, well almost anything, in the world to touch that hair. Not now.

"Yes Marian?" asked Guy.

"I wanted…" began Marian.

"Yes?" asked Guy this time a little more concerned. It was not often that he saw Marian's usually confident attitude turn meek. He was allured.

"I wanted to make sure that your arm was better," finished Marian looking at Guy's injured arm.

Sir Guy turned to his right arm and sighed. Earlier in the day Gisbourne had succeeded in his long awaited quest to capture the night watchman. Or so he had thought. Once he had grabbed the night watchman, the night watchman had plummeted his elbow into Guy's arm.

"I'll catch him one day," said Guy quietly.

He watched Marian's distressed face happily. He smiled lazily at her.

"Do you want to feel it?" he asked her.

"I beg your pardon?" asked Marian angrily stepping away from him.

Guy realized his mistake.

"Forgive me my lady," he explained walking towards her, "I misspoke. I was too caught up on the Night Watchman."

"Oh," reasoned Marian by the nod of her head.

"I'm horrified that he caused you pain Guy," she said sweetly.

Too sweetly?

Guy brushed that thought past him. He had a strong urge to take her in his arms and…well…he hadn't figured out the next part yet. Of course he knew about the next part…he had successfully carried out the next part many times but she was different. Every time he started picturing the two of them he saw his hands running through her hair and body. But his hands were filled with blood, which then went onto her.

"Thank you Marian," said Guy stiffly.

Marian turned to go then she stopped and looked back at him.

"Do you think we will ever be able to reconcile our differences?" she asked looking up at him. He looked down at her,

"There is nothing to reconcile. I was in love with you. You lied to me about your feelings. You paid the price for your behavior at our wedding. There is nothing more between us."

Then he stood away from her. The swinging noise of the closing door was the only sound Guy heard. No one, not even the ever seeing trees heard the drop of a tear hitting the floor.

The walk from Guy's room to Marian's quarters wasn't very long. But she still felt out of breath when she entered her room and shut the door behind her. "You didn't think you'd get away from me that easily Marian," said a voice behind her. Normally she would have jumped and turned. Instead she smiled. "I'm surprised you still have the ability to show your face any where near me, or this castle," answered Marian.

"Ah the risks we take for the ones we…care for."

"Are all risks worth taking?" asked Marian looking at the face of her lover, and best friend.

"I'm here aren't I?" answered Robin Hood stepping into her room. "Nice place you've got here," continued Robin taking a stroll through Marian's room.

"Just small enough to feel like a prison, and large enough for it to appear normal," said Marian with a sigh. Robin noticed her sadness walked over to her and kissed her lightly on the lips.

"Is everything alright love?" he asked in that voice which broke Marian's heart.

"I spoke with Guy today," said Marian very carefully.

Robin's face went from concern to scowl. "What happened?"

"Nothing," said Marian looking up into his eyes. "I tried to get onto his good side again, it didn't really work."

Robin sighed. "Good."

"Good?" repeated Marian.

"I don't like to think of you being with him, and seeing him," said Robin. Just the very thought of his love standing next to that monster sent chills through his spine.

"The farther away you are from his side, the better," said Robin sternly.

"I can take care of myself thank you," said Marian defensively.

"I know," said Robin holding her in his arms, "I just…can't protect you in here. I don't know what will happen to you."

"Well, I'd like to think that I decide what happens to me in here," said Marian smiling at him.

Just then they both heard a loud knock on the door.

"Marian!" yelled an urget Guy of Gisborne.
