A/N: So this is set immediately post 1x06 Nubbins (guess what I just watched?). Shipping-wise, I was leaning more towards Helen/Will, but this episode made me consider Will/Ashley for the first time. Hm.
I'll write something longer than a drabble eventually - I just find drabbling a good way of trying to get a handle on the characters before I get more daring.

Apologies
"Will!"
Will paused as he heard Ashley calling. Looking somewhat distracted, the blonde half ran and half walked to catch up with him. She smiled weakly, looking more nervous than he'd ever seen her before.
"I just wanted to apologise…"
"What for?"
"You know, earlier…"
She stared at him pleadingly. Since the Nubbins had finally been recaptured, the air had finally began clearing, much to everyone's relief. Being so hormonally driven had already lead to some frankly embarrassing situations and now was the time to start salvaging relationships, hoping desperately to regain the status quo.
"Yeah, it's okay."
"It was just because of the Nubbins… you know and their…"
She trailed off and Will nodded understandingly.
"It's fine," he answered eventually. "I'm sorry too."
"Excellent."
"Yeah, great."
"Hey, Will?"
"Yes."
"Sleep well."
"You too."
