I missed out Episode 3, because i didn't like the storyline to fit into my one. Now, this is BOTH of the couples- and guaranteed fluff and angst. Thank you to my lovely reviewers, who i love!

Episode 4

"You locked her in a cupboard?" Allan was trying not to punch Will into smithereens, the lad had, after all, lost his father- but to lock Djaq of all people in a cupboard, innocent, gorgeous Djaq, was going too far.

Will looked down in shame. "Just unlock it." He told him quietly, feeling the urge to grab his axe and plunge it through himself. He noticed Allan smirk at the thought of being the one to rescue Djaq and strode over to knock him out of the way.

"Let me do it." Will grabbed the key and started to meddle with it. "I have to say sorry to her."

Allan, who did not seem happy about this, was about to protest, but was pulled away gently by John. Will fiddled with the lock and walked in.

"Djaq?"

His heart slowed down as he took in the room's surroundings. It was very dark, and damp. He knew Djaq hated the dark, as much of a brave woman she was, and felt angry with himself for frightening her. He turned as he heard her gentle voice.

"Will?"

He walked over and held out his hand, looking down at her. Her brown eyes were staring right back into his emerald ones, her small figure slumped. She looked at his hand, and then extended her own to gently take it.

Will pulled her up gently and wove his arms around her to support her trembling body.

"I'm so sorry." He whispered. "I-I don't know what hap-

"-Just leave her."

Will and Djaq both turn, seeing Allan standing at the door, who did not look terribly happy. Will opened his mouth to speak, but Allan cut in again.

"You've put her through enough." Allan stride over and snatched off Will's arms. "Let go of her."

Will, who was shaking in anger, glared. "I didn't mean to." He stared back desperately at Djaq. "I didn't!"

Before she could do anything, Allan had taken her away gently. Will hit his head on the wall, trying not to lose his temper and shout, kick, and kill anything he could reach. His thoughts turned to Djaq, the woman he loved, and always would. He looked down and picked up the small vial she had forgotten.

How could he have done that to her?

--

"Here." Allan shuffled over and offered her his blanket. Djaq smiled at him weakly and then felt the blanket envelope her and Allan in warmth. His body was very close to her, and he wrapped an arm around her.

"Are you ok?"

Djaq was surprised at his caring tone. She rolled her eyes. "I am not a delicate flower like other women, Allan A Dale." She looked over at Will's empty bunk and sighed. "And you did not have to be so harsh on Will. He had just lost his father."

"I lost my brother and I don't remember trying to lock you in a cupboard!"

"Let me remind you that you DID try to get the Sheriff, but I stopped you. And people react in different ways. You made him feel worse."

Allan sighed. "I didn't mean to."

"You never mean to do anything." Djaq sighed, shuffling a bit. "that's the problem with men."

Allan was about to reply when he saw scratches on her silken neck.

"What's tha'?" He pointed at the cut.

Djaq immediately turned away. "Nothing."

"It's deep." Allan couldn't keep his eyes off her neck. "You got it when Will pushed you on that floor, didn't you?"

"Allan." Djaq warned him. "I do not need to b-

She was interrupted by a faint finger brushing against her cut, and she gasped. Allan continued to gently examine it, and she saw his eyes narrow.

"It is nothing." Djaq repeated quickly, making to pull her shirt up a bit to cover it. "It is merely a scratch."

"So?" Allan could not bear for her perfect, smooth skin to be ruined. "He hurt you." He leaned in and gently brushed his lips on her cut, hearing her sharp intake of breath. He carried on.

"He kissed you last week."

Another faint brush of lips. Djaq tried not to completely shiver beneath him.

"Are you two together?" Allan asked suddenly.

"I do not- I. No." Djaq finally made up her mind. Will and herself had not talked to each other about the kiss after the event. She had been touched by it, and treasured it.

Could she be in love with two men? She wondered, hearing Allan mutter 'Good' and gently brush his lips on her cut again. She was letting Allan kiss her, as she had let Will kiss her last week. Who did she really love? Her heart hammered at the sight of both of them.

But this was surely not right. She thought. No. Two men? Only one would be for her, but she could not keep their hopes up. She gently pushed Allan away.

"No Allan." She told him softly. "I have to go and find Will."

She realised what she had said was a mistake when she saw anger flash in his eyes.

"Will…" He shook his head angrily. "You…you always have to talk about Will."

"What?"

"It's always…it's always about him." Allan stood up and roughly raked his hands through his hair. "When can you forget about the boy and be like that with me?"

"Be like what with you?' Djaq, too, got up angrily. "What on earth are you on ab-

Before she could finish, Allan had grabbed her to him and kissed her fiercely. Djaq's eyes widened. No. She could not be so cruel to the two of her best friends by kissing both of them. She wanted to, but she knew it was not possible. She broke apart from Allan.

"I can't do this." Djaq told him quietly, and ran off, Allan calling after her.

He stopped calling her name when he knew there was no chance. He suddenly believed Guy's words.

He was always going to be worthless.

--

Djaq ran into a clearing, but made to back out when she saw who else was there. Will turned to her, his eyes bloodshot, his hair ruffled.

"I-I'm sorry." She stammered, making to run out. "I-I'll just- go-

"No!" Will got up quickly and strode over. "No." He repeated quietly. "I-I want you to stay."

Djaq looked up at him in surprise. She remembered eh was having a bad time, so did not object. Not knowing what to do next, she decided to speak up.

"I'm sorry about Allan, earlier." Djaq spoke quietly. "He-he was being unfair."

"He was telling the truth." Will looked out into the lake, his father's face drifting in his mind… "And you should not be apologising for him."

He finally turned to look at her, and they both smiled slightly in cue. Will suddenly noticed her neck. "You're neck…" He reached out and lowered her shirt slightly. His face was masked of shame and shock. "Did-Did I do that?"

"You did not mean to." Djaq did not want to lie to him, but she did not want him to be hurt. "and it is only a scratch. Allan was just lik-

She cut off, not thinking that brining Allan into this was a good idea. But Will noticed anyway.

"Allan saw that?" He asked coolly. "What did he do?"

"Sorry?" Djaq asked, baffled.

"Did he- did he touch you?" will's voice cracked as he reached out to touch her cut gently. Djaq winced slightly, but he didn't notice.

"Can I not be touched?" Djaq asked, annoyed. "For goodness sake, Wil-

She cut off with a gasp. Will was soothing her cut with deep, open mouth kisses against her neck. She closed her eyes and her head lolled to one side as Wil gently sucked on hr cut.

"I can't believe I did this." Will whispered into her heated skin. "I didn't want it to be like that."

"Will…" Djaq tried to push him off gently but her arms weren't letting her. She felt herself be pulled closer by a hiss from the carpenter.

"You're skin…beautiful." Will muttered as he kissed her neck. "You're beautiful. Have I ever told you that?"

Djaq was shocked at his strange, lovesick character. She tried to push him off again, but failed.

"Will, let me go." She hissed. 'Please."

He growled, only pulling her closer. She sighed.

"Will. I am not a cure to help you to overcome your loss.' She whispered gently. She started to feel his body shake and knew he was going to cry. "Please Will…I can help you…but not like this-

Sure enough, he broke apart from her. he sobbed as he fell, Djaq following him. She held him tightly as he sobbed into her neck, gently stroking his hair. She let him weep, and he gradually slept in her arms.
