The crisp quietness of the morning broke with the cry of a lone cardinal; the shrill call tore through the peaceful silence. The forest breeze blew through the leaves, causing the dark haired beauty to stir from his restless slumber. He glanced over at the figure beside him. The other figure slowly turned on his side until his and the dark haired beauty's noses were practically touching.
'Robin' the dark haired beauty breathed, welcoming the others scent.
'Guy' Robin smiled, cupping Guy's face in his hand. Guy grasped Robins other hand, pulling him closer. Only for a second though as if he were teasing the other man before releasing him and jumping up to welcome the early morning sounds.
'You have to go back to your gang' Guy sighed, he hated saying goodbye.
'Why can't we just tell them?' Robin mumbled throwing his shirt on, feeling the same agony as Guy did.
'You and I both know we can never do that!' Guy growled angry at such a suggestion.
'I don't see why not.' Robin sulked.
'Well number one our kind of love isn't allowed.' Guy smiled sadly 'And two how do you think your friends would react to me and us. I mean we've been enemies for years!'
Robin grinned, it was true, Much would probably have an aneurism if he ever found out about the two of them.
'Until tomorrow' Guy smiled lovingly at Robin before mounting his horse and riding back to Nottingham, leaving Robin alone in the now so lonely forest. He roughly shoved his green jacket on before beginning the trek back to the camp hoping no-one would notice he had gone.
'ROBIN' Much yelled happily greeting his master with slap on the back and waking the rest of the gang in the process.
'Muuuccchhhh' Allan groaned sleepily.
'Where did you go Robin?' Much asked eagerly.
'I was up early so I went into the forest for a bit' he told Much truthfully before wandering off to sit by the warm fire. Robin's mind drifted to thoughts of Guy and he wondered what he was doing right at that moment.
