Hello everyone, this is my very first fan-fic so I am a little nervous. Be gentle with me kind readers! I will also be doing a joint fic with Candyfloss77 soon, but for now I am going solo!
I don't "own" Robin Hood, per se, I enjoy, love, adore and delight in Robin Hood, particularly Will and Allan! I am a die-hard W&D fan, so most, if not all, of my fan fics will be W&D (sometimes Saffiyah) oriented. I do love all the other characters and they will definitely be apart of the stories, but be prepared to have oodles and oodles of W&D! OH!! I do love the naughty stuff! I can get a little carried away sometimes, so please forgive me; it is the creative monster that takes over my brain. . Here goes!
This was supposed to be a one shot, but the smut monsters demanded more than just a one-shot.
Reviews are encouraged and welcome!

It was the night that Djaq had been waiting for. She had waited all year for her birthday, and it was FINALLY here. She knew that something was being planned, she just didn't know what. Sitting at the mirror in her bedroom, she put the finishing touches on her outfit for the evening. Looking herself over one last time, she smiled and winked at herself, standing up and grabbing her purse she practically skipped into the living room to where her best friends were waiting to celebrate the night with her.
"Wow! You look amazing tonight!" declared a grinning Allan.
"Does that mean I look like shit every other night, Allan?" Djaq said knowing full well the question would confound him.
"Oh god no, Djaq, I just mean that you look particularly beautiful tonight. Maybe because it's your birthday, maybe because of that body hugging dress you're wearing or maybe it is because I a a little buzzed already, or may…"
"Okay Allan I get the point," Djaq interjected before Allan could ramble on any more insane reasons. "Can we just get going to wherever you are all taking me tonight?" she said smiling with a tilt of her head.
"Agreed!" said Marian, grabbing Djaq's hand and leading the way out of their apartment. "You DO look beautiful," Marian said to her best friend, squeezing her hand. Djaq squeezed her hand back to say a wordless 'thanks'.
Will was the first one outside, he wanted to make sure that the limo he hired for his girlfriend's special night was there and fully loaded. He wanted this night to be perfect; it was, after all, HER night. He was determined to make this birthday the best one ever.
"Right! Everyone here and ready" Will said almost in a camp counselor kind of way.
"Yes, Will we are all ready! We have been ready all week, can we just get this party started?" Robin retorted opening the limo door and letting the ladies in first. As Djaq and Marian entered the limo the remaining members of the "gang" heard 'oohs' and 'aahs' filter out of the sunroof as the ladies took in the view of chilled Champagne and roses awaiting Djaq.
The rest of the gang piled in behind them. Robin quickly made his way next to Marian who looked stunning in a red halter dress. Much slid next to Eve who was looking equally stunning in a navy blue dress that was simple but elegant. Allan, feeling like the fifth wheel, slid next to Will, automatically reaching over him to grab the chilling Champagne out of the bucket.
Slapping his hand, Robin glared at him and said "Allan, don't you think that Djaq should have the first glass? It is her birthday you know?" The whole limo was looking at Allan as if he were a little boy who was caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
"That I do not like" came a gruff voice from the front seat of the limo. Everyone looked to the front to see 'Little' John slide into the drivers seat donning a driver's hat. Glaring at Allan through the rear view mirror, John cleared his throat and Allan put down the Champagne bottle and put his hands up in apology.
"John! I am so glad that you could make it tonight," Djaq said with a lilt of happiness in her voice.
"Alice insisted that I make it even though she is sick with the flu!" he said with a little sadness in his voice, "She sends her love and says to have fun for her tonight".
"I am very happy that you are here John, it wouldn't be a birthday without you!" Djaq said with love and admiration in her voice. The gang has always looked upon John and Alice as their surrogate parents, always looking out for them and loving each of them as much as they do their son, Lil' John. Hearing Djaq's kind words made the big man blush, unseen by any of the gang.
"Right! Can we get going please I am bloody starving!" Much finally spoke up saying what everyone had been thinking as John grunted before starting the car. As the gang made their way to the club for Djaq's birthday bash, they all proceeded to get tipsy, opening one more bottle of Champagne before reaching the club.
Arriving at the club, Will was relieved to finally have the night start. John pulled up in front of the club and a security guard opened the door, flooding the bright limo with the crisp night air. Robin exited first pulling Marian with him, then Much and Eve, Allan followed behind a little more tipsy than when they started and finally Will and Djaq!
"The VIP room is all ready for you tonight," Richard King said, who owned Club Sherwood. He had been very fond of the group of 'outlaws' as he called them since the boys started working for him a long time ago.
"Thanks Richard!" Robin had said, curling his arm around Marian.
"John, are you coming?" Djaq asked ruffling her eyebrows.
"No lass, I am a bit too old to be consorting with you wild bunch." John said with a wink and a smile.
Making their way to the front door, walking past all the desperate people who have been waiting in line for what seemed like hours, they could hear the protest from the patrons. "Hey how come they get to go in before us?" inquired one drunken guy who kept chain smoking.
Ignoring them, Will firmly grabbed Djaq's hand and made his way up the stairs to the VIP room. It was decorated so wonderfully with silver and black balloons clinging to the ceiling and elegant table settings. There was a full bar, their own private DJ and an absolutely gorgeous buffet waiting for them to eat greedily. The gang stopped and admired the sight before their eyes, they were all awe struck by how much thought and time Will had put into this amazing night for Djaq.
Djaq looked around the opulent surroundings and was speechless! She noticed that there was others gathered there, too. Her friends from the hospital where she worked (which was like a second home to her), and some friends from their neighborhood, it was all the people that Djaq cared about the most.
Much made a beeline for the buffet table, after all he was completely famished. Eve rolled her eyes at him, shaking her head she made her way to the bar and ordered herself a martini. Marian followed suit and had one, too, Djaq topped both of them and ordered herself a 'dirty' martini. All the men ordered themselves beers and when everyone had their drinks Will cleared his throat and said "I just want to say to my beautiful and amazing girlfriend that I love you and may this night be the best night of your life. Happy Birthday my love!" The gang chimed in unison "Happy Birthday Djaq" and all clinked their glasses together in cheers! Djaq kissed Will and whispered "I love you" to him in his ear sending shivers down his spine.
Djaq was smiling and holding onto Will when the bevy of friends that were gathered in the room started coming over, each wishing her a glorious birthday. Djaq's head was swimming with compliments, the martini was stronger than she thought, and it was affecting her quicker than normal. Will's arm was firmly wrapped around her waist, not letting her get even an inch away from him. He wanted to make sure EVERYONE knew that she was his.
The gang was clearly enjoying themselves. Robin and Marian were the first ones on the dance floor, bumping and grinding to the beats of the music. Eve dragged Much to the dance floor as he shoved the last of the shrimp he had been devouring into his mouth. Much was never the one with the best coordination but he somehow managed to keep the beat even though he did look like he was flailing about. Allan had found himself a 'ripe bird' as he liked to call the girls that seemed to catch his eye. Katrina was a nurse that worked with Djaq at the hospital and was always getting hit on by the male staff. Allan decided to make Katrina his main priority for the night, not knowing what he was in for.
Djaq had somehow wriggled herself away from Will and found her way to that scrumptious buffet table. As she was making her way down the table, a pair of hands covered her eyes.
"Guess who?" a deep, sexy voice asked.
"Joseph?" Djaq inquired with surprise in her voice. She turned around to see her fellow physician standing there with a gorgeous grin on his face. Djaq almost dropped her plate as she gave him a hug. Joseph was a close friend of Djaq's at the hospital; he is one of the few people at work, aside from Katrina, that Djaq could really be herself with. They had gone through a lot together working in the ER, they had saved lives, seen babies born, lost patients and been there for each other when the work got too much sometimes. Joseph was considered the 'George Clooney' of the hospital. Every woman's dream and every man's best buddy!
For the last six months Joseph had been a part of the "Doctors without Borders" program. All the doctors at the hospital had participated in the program, including Djaq. Djaq had thought that Joseph was still out of the country, but he soon informed her that his tour of duty ended three days ago. He also made damn sure to be at Djaq's birthday, he 'wouldn't have missed it for the world' he told her.
Will was watching his girlfriend talk and giggle with Joseph, not liking that situation at all. He knew about Joseph, he knew what a flirt he was, especially with Djaq. He knew how close they were and he hated it. Will didn't want to be one of those men who controlled everything his girlfriend did. He knew how fiercely independent Djaq is and that she would be very pissed off at him if he even hinted at that kind of behavior. Watching Joseph with Djaq was torture, he could feel his ears get hot with anger. He noticed that Joseph kept a hand on Djaq's back, stroking it up and down. Will's grip on his beer glass became tighter, almost to the point of breaking it.
He watched as Djaq and Joseph made their way down the buffet table, whispering to each other and pointing to the delicious food laid out in front of them. The other women at the party were eyeing Joseph, too. They knew what a flirt he was and took full advantage of that. Marian had been watching Will from the dance floor and noticed the tense look on his face. She followed his gaze and knew instantly why he was so on edge.
Marian had heard stories about Joseph from Djaq, she even experienced his flirtatious nature first hand on the days when she had met Djaq at the hospital so they could go to lunch. Uh-oh I'd better go save him before Will does something stupid.
"All this dancing has made me parched. Robin my darling, can you get me another martini?" she purred at Robin seductively.
"Only if you kiss me first," Robin countered grinning like a mad man.
Sauntering over to him, Marian grabbed Robin by his collared shirt and kissed him hard but passionately. Still reeling from the kiss, Robin straightened his collar and made his way to the bar. "Make it a dirty martini, 'cuz I'm feeling a little naughty tonight." Marian called after him. Robin's grin grew wider, covering his scruffy face completely. That should buy me some time to rescue Will.
Confidently walking over to Will, Marian looped her arm with his. Feeling how tense he was, she knew she had a daunting task ahead of her. "You did an amazing job tonight Will, everything looks beautiful," Marian said smiling at him.
"What?" Will said not taking his eyes off of Djaq and Joseph who were now seated at a table together talking and laughing. Although there were others at the same table all Will saw was Joseph talking flirting shamelessly with the love of his life.
"Will! Did you hear me?" Marian said turning his chin towards her.
"What? Oh sorry, yeah I heard you and thanks at least someone appreciates my efforts," he said forcing an apologetic smile across his face.
"Djaq loves it, just because she is over there talking to Joseph doesn't mean she doesn't appreciate it and you." Waiting for some reaction to her statement Marian continued "Look she hasn't seen Joseph in six months, they are close friends, it is only natural that she is happy to see him. Just remember, YOU are her boyfriend, YOU are the one she loves, and YOU are the one she is in love with. Nothing or no one can ever change that, okay?" Marian made sure that she stressed the 'in love with' part of her speech to him.
Will took a deep breath, he smiled at Marian and said, "Thanks, I'll remember that," kissing her cheek as a thank you gesture. "Hey, stop slobbering all over my woman, that's my job!" Robin shouted as he made his way back to Marian with her martini and his gin & tonic. Taking the drink from Robin, she sipped her martini while his arm snaked around her waist nuzzling her close to him.
Much was still on the dance floor with Eve, he actually managed to eat and dance at the same time. He looked like he was in heaven, being able to enjoy both his girlfriend and the food while dancing. Eve was laughing to herself, this is the most fun I've seen Much have in a long time. The couple seemed to not even mind that they were basically the only two on the dance floor.
Allan WAS most definitely in heaven. Katrina was just as fierce as Djaq, which is probably the reason he was so smitten with her. Allan always had a special place in his heart for Djaq, he had hoped that she felt the same way, but it was Will that dominated her heart not Allan. He was content, however bittersweet, to be the best of friends with Djaq, fiercely loyal and protective, but there in a heartbeat if Will ever broke her heart.
Katrina seemed almost immune to Allan's devilish charm. She had grown accustom to men like Allan working in the male dominated hospital that she, too, called her second home. There was something, on the other hand, that intrigued her about Allan. He was a little different than the other men, wounded in some way. He was charming to a fault, wily, but one way or another a gentleman still. He listened to her, really listened to her, everything that was coming out of her mouth he ate up. He was handsome, very handsome. He had these amazingly fluid blue eyes that you could swim for hours in. His smile was certainly one of, if not his best, features. I could really fall for this guy. Getting a hold of herself, she decided to 'test the waters' and grabbed Allan by the hand and dragged him onto the dance floor which was now crowded with people.
Will had been watching Djaq from a far, transfixed. Marian's speech kept playing, like a broken record, over and over in his head. He knew Marian was right, but he still had that feeling, he was jealous. Jealous that another man could make Djaq smile like that, make her giggle like that, talk to her intimately like that. Djaq finally caught Will's eye and motioned him over to join them. If he keeps flirting with her I may have to hurt him… badly. Making his way over to them, he just kept repeating, "she's mine" in his head.
"Hi sweetheart," he said loudly, as he bent down and gave her a forceful kiss throwing her off guard a little.
"Will, I can't believe that you were able to get a hold of Joseph in time for my party? You are the best!" she said smiling up at him with lots of love in her eyes.
Grabbing her hand and intertwining their fingers he replied "Only the best for my gorgeous girlfriend," kissing her hand in his. Watching for Joseph's reaction to his gestures towards Djaq, he made it a point to emphasize his affection for her. Sitting down at the table, Will pulled Djaq out of her chair and into his lap.
Joseph noticed the over zealous displays of affection that Will was showering on Djaq. He also noticed how it made Djaq feel, she looked almost embarrassed. "I must say Will you out did yourself tonight. This party is the best, the food and music rock and well, the birthday girl…she is the best part of the evening," Joseph said with a wickedly sexy grin on his face.
"Only the best for MY GIRLFRIEND," Will practically yelled as he kissed Djaq's neck.
Noticing the way that Will was acting, Joseph got the hint. He decided to be the "bigger man" and leave those two with some alone time. "Mary, would do me the honor of dancing with me?" Joseph inquired to one of the mousy nurses who secretly lusted after him. Shaking her head vigorously she practically pulled his arm out of the socket as she bolted to the dance floor.
Breathing a sigh of relief (mixed with victory) Will smiled to himself as he watched his plan work. Kissing Djaq's neck he hotly breathed "Finally a moment alone!" Shuddering at his hot breath on the nape of her neck Djaq turned to face her beloved. "You are the best, I know I already told you that, but it bears repeating. What did I do to deserve you?" she said lovingly. Searching her creamy brown eyes he wondered how he could have doubted her, how he could have thought that she would not love him forever.
Just then the song "Kiss" from Prince came on and the whole dance floor started cheering and singing at the top of their collective lungs. Grinning like a fool, Djaq licked her lips and jumped off Will's lap and said "Get up Scarlet you are dancing with me NOW!" Dancing their way to where their friends were, they all hugged in a huddle and then broke off into their respective couples.
Will and Djaq were dancing seductively mouthing the words to each other. "I just want your extra time and your…kiss" Djaq purred to Will about an inch from his face. Complying with his girlfriend's request (thanks to Prince) he kissed her, fully and passionately. The gang remained on the dance floor for the rest of the night, each couple bumping and grinding to the beats.
As the night wore down and people started bidding adieu to the birthday girl, the gang gathered around the gift table. One by one the guests formed a line to say their farewells to the guest of honor. Djaq made it a point to say a few words; some hugs and kisses, to each and every one of her friends. "We'd better get these gifts into the limo now, before it becomes to crazy out there," Robin observed as he noticed how busy it was getting as people were leaving. "You are so right my friend, I can't tell you how right you are. I don't think you have ever been so right in your entire life," Allan slurred as he held onto Katrina for dear life. Rolling her eyes at Allan she said "Yes, Allan, Robin is right, now let us go get you some water and some air shall we?" leading Allan out of the VIP room and slowly down the stairs. Laughing at them Robin, picking up some presents, followed close behind "Oi, Much, put down the cake and grab some gifts…hurry up," Robin yelled at his best friend as Much was about to gulp down some decadent chocolate cake.
Marian grabbed a few of the boxes and followed her boyfriend down to John and the limo. Will lingered a minute, smiling at his gorgeous woman, before he, too, grabbed a few presents. Robin, Marian, Much and Eve worked like a conveyer belt traveling up and down the stairs with the various gifts, champagne and flowers that were strewn on the table.
There were only about five boxes left on the table, so Marian decided she could handle carrying the small boxes by herself. Marian looked in Djaq's direction, smiling at her best friend, feeling proud that she knew exactly how Djaq felt about Will, because she felt the same way about Robin. "Right, well is that all the gifts?" Will asked running his hand through his hair. "Almost, there are just these left," Marian said gesturing towards the lonely boxes left behind by their comrades. A wildly girlish giggle was heard almost echoing through the now empty VIP room, both turned in the direction of the laugh and saw Djaq and Joseph once again laughing and whispering together. The smile that had made its way back on Will's face started to fade as he watched a repeat of the same performance he had witnessed earlier between Djaq and Joseph.
Joseph started walking towards Marian and Will with a grin on his face. "Wait! Don't leave yet!" Joseph yelled to Marian as he jogged to the table where she was standing gathering up the remaining gifts. Smiling at Marian he puffed "Glad I caught you before you left with my gift for Djaq. It's good to see you again Marian, I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to chat…next time, okay?" he asked flashing her his trademark sexy smile. Nodding her head she watched as Joseph searched for his present to give to Djaq. Furrowing his brow, he seemed puzzled; looking around further he noticed that his gift was in Will's hands. "Ah, there it is! Just what I have been looking for!" Joseph chimed.
Taking the gift out of Will's hands he turned on his heels and jogged back to Djaq. He handed her the present, bowing almost prince like to a princess. Djaq looked at the small box in her hands and slowly but carefully unwrapped the gift. Will watched this scene unfold, it seemed like it was moving in slow motion. Djaq's eyes fixed on the black box that was being held by her trembling hands. "Open it! Come on the suspense is killing me!" Joseph begged of Djaq. Opening the box Djaq's eyes widened and a smile danced across her face. "Oh my god, it's beautiful! It's exactly the one I wanted, I can't believe you remembered!" Djaq said with such astonishment in her voice. "Try it on!" Joseph exclaimed to her as he took the watch out of the box and gently took her arm and fastened it to her wrist.
Will felt it again, that tinge of jealousy. Who the fuck does this guy think he is giving MY GIRLFRIEND a gift like that? He could feel his body start to tense again, he was beyond mad now he had become incensed. Marian could feel Will's anger, it was emanating off of him. By this time Robin, Much and Eve had returned from the limo and was standing with them watching the same scene unfurl. The gang watched as Djaq and Joseph embraced in what looked like more than a friendly hug. Rocking back and forth together Djaq had a huge grin on her face, she whispered something to Joseph who broke from the long hug and kissed her square on the nose. Robin thought that Will was going to murder him right then and there, so he stepped in front of Will and called out to Djaq, "Hey birthday girl, come on let's get going, gotta get Marian home so I can ravage her!" Robin shouted as he grabbed a hold of Djaq's hand and pulled her towards the others.
"It was nice to see all of you again," Joseph said as he saw Djaq being pulled towards the door, along with Much and Eve who soon followed. "It was a lot of fun tonight, eh, Will? Thanks again for inviting me, I had a blast!" Joseph declared as he held out his hand to shake Will's. I bet you did you asshole! You spent the whole night seducing my girlfriend you fuck! Will blinked at Joseph's outstretched hand waiting for his hand to join him, after a few seconds, Will decided to be a man an shake his hand. "Right, sorry, mate, yeah thanks for coming, you made Djaq's night!" Will hissed at him.
Marian noticed the daggers in Will's eyes and decided to go and rescue him. "Bye Joseph!" Marian said as her voice faded as she and Will made their way down the staircase to the awaiting limo. Marian thought Will was going to explode with the rage that was coursing through him. She could feel it in his blood as his hand started throbbing in hers. Stopping at the bottom of the stairs before they left the club, Marian pulled Will aside and said to him "You need to talk to her tonight about how you feel! If you let this fester it will ruin you. Promise me, Will, promise me you will do it?" she said in demanding sort of way. He knew that when Marian's tone was like that she meant business. "I promise," Will said in a little boy manner. "I will stay with Robin tonight so you and Djaq can talk properly, okay?" Marian said in a sisterly tone. Nodding to her, they both took a deep breath and barreled out the club door.
