Doesn't need a lot of explanation really, but no, I don't own the show and thanks to Helen for betaing.
"If you go in there and die, I shall die. Of grief."
Locksley looks wrong. Hollow. The world is flat and joyless now that my world is gone.
You. You, Robin, you were all the world I ever could have wanted, all the world I ever had. I loved the gang, but you were the one I needed. As long as there was you, the two of us, together, it didn't matter about anything else.
All I have left of you now is a grassy hill. Our spot.
And so here I am, sitting here weeping. Weeping because of you, as usual, although this time it isn't actually your fault. That is, it is your fault, you've left me, you're gone and you're never ever coming back… but it's not as though it was intentional. You didn't mean for this to happen.
How did this happen?
I don't understand. How did something so terrible as this happen? I mean yes, we finally defeated the sheriff and destroyed Nottingham, but it ended up costing us far too much.
It cost me far too much.
Allan, I could have dealt with. Admittedly, it didn't feel like it at the time, it was… but I still had you. You were still with me, and you were in charge, and we could have made it through anything, together.
I'm dimly aware of my chest growing heavy. Breathing more shallow.
I'm not strong enough for this Robin. I know you think I am, that I can go on without you, but I can't. I am the smaller man. Any reason I appeared otherwise was because you were by my side, your light shining on to me. And now…
As my head lolls back against the tree trunk I can no longer keep my eyes open and take a last look at the world, at Locksley, before it all becomes darkness.
It doesn't matter now. It's all over, now that you're over. Robin Hood may go on, I know Tuck will make it go on, but Robin, you Robin, my Robin… you're gone from this world now.
That's what everyone thinks. It's true, of course, I know that. I can feel it everywhere, you've left, it's over, the world is cold.
But I can still feel you here, just about. This is where you'll be for me now.
So I'll.. I'll stay here. I'll just be here. With you.
Against the darkness I see your face, and a smile plays on mine.
"I told you what would happen…"
