Songfics 4
Will wandered through the forest; unconsciously letting his feet carry him to the camp. He ran his hands through his already windblown and tangled hair, thinking about the beautiful woman doctor. He had been on an emotional tornado lately, confused about Djaq and scared for the King and angry for the villagers. He strode down a different path and started gathering some flowers off the forest floor. Primroses! He thought Djaq would love these! She can probably make tons of stuff out of these! He collected them and carried them dazedly down the well- concealed path to the infamous outlaws' home.
Will
If there's a prize for rotten judgment
I guess I've already won that
Will ran his calloused fingers again through his hair as he opened the door. Thankfully, Djaq wasn't inside. However, the rest of the gang seemed to know what he was thinking. They stopped their work as he began singing.
Will
No girl is worth the aggravation
That's ancient history, been there, done that
Allan rolled his eyes for what seemed to Will like the millionth time.
Allan
Who'd ya think you're kidding
She's the earth and heaven to ya
The old argument caught Robin's ears and walked over to clap Will on the shoulder.
Robin
Try to keep it hidden, William,
We can see right through you
Will moaned. If they could figure it out, then surely Djaq would with her quick mind and her bravery, and her gentle fingers, and her soft hair… He pushed the other, more irksome, more dangerous thoughts away.
Will
Noo…
He paced furiously, trying to push away the feelings as he pushed away the camp, disappearing under his big feet. Allan sat down and bent back over his belated supper. Robin just crossed his arms and stared, unbelieving, at Will's back. John grunted from his position in front of the fire.
Robin
You pine, you sigh
Why deny it, uh oh
Will turned around incredulously at his words. Pining? He thought Me? Never. He presented his argument.
Will
It's too cliché
I won't say I'm in love
"I do not love Djaq." He stated.
Allan snorted as Robin laughed, tears coming to his eyes. Will's glare eventually stopped him.
"Do you find yourself thinking of her all the time?" Robin asked solemnly.
Will faltered. Did he? "Well, yes, but-"
"Do you see flowers and say 'I'm sure Djaq will love these'?" he interrogated.
"Yes! But-"
"Do you get mad whenever she talks to a man."
"Yes. But-"
"You love her mate! Stop saying ya don't when even I can tell ya do. " Allan insisted. Everyone was silent. After an amazingly long pause, Will sat down at the table and smiled crookedly at Allan.
"At least out loud" he sighed loudly. He didn't notice a woman walk into the room. "I won't say I'm in love" It was only when Djaq dropped the bowl she had been holding that he noticed she had heard. Everything.
