Yay, new chapter. Been a while since I updated, and I hate to make excuses, so I won't, and will just let you read the chapter. Here you go-
Both Will and Djaq woke earlier that next morning than they normally did, not understanding why, yet still glad just to be in each others arms. During the night, Will had managed to wrap himself around Djaq's back, with one of his long arms draping across the top of her waist. She herself had snuggled deeply into his embrace, and now felt completely safe and secure lay against him. Both loved how they fit so perfectly against each other, but were annoyed at the knowledge that they would only have this short time with each other. They had mutually agreed with each other the previous night, that they would not do anything in front of the rest of the gang that would make Robin feel any worse than he already did about Marian's passing. And so they simply lay there by each other, waiting for the time when the rest of the gang awoke, and they would have to get up and go about their daily routines.

A few hours after Will and Djaq's quiet moment together, the rest of the gang had started to stir from their own bunks, and the young sleepy couple knew it was about time to follow their friend's example, and they too got slowly up from their bed. It did not take long for everyone to properly wake up, rub the sleep from their eyes, and get dressed, and so soon the whole gang had been assembled around the table in the middle of the camp.
'Alright then gang, today we need to send Lardner back to the king, that's our most important job today. We also need to make deliveries.' Robin's old authoritive voice that has once been an asset of his had shrivelled and died slightly since he had come back from the Holy Lands, and all of the outlaws could tell from this that his heart was no longer truly in the job he was doing. But he too knew that he had to carry on, for Marian if nothing else.
'Will, Djaq, you stay here, work on the note for the king. Once you've done, go to Locksley and make your deliveries there. Alan, John, go to Nettlestone and Clun, make sure everyone's alright there, I heard from Matilda that some of the families have had problems and have been evicted from their homes, just check on them, see how they're doing. Much and I will go to Treeton and Nottingham. Everyone clear on that?' Everyone sat at the table nodded their heads quickly at their leader to show that they understood what was going to happen, before Alan, John, Much and Robin all made their way to the front entrance to the camp, and out its door.

Will and Djaq stayed seated around the table in the middle of the campsite as the rest of their gang left through the front entrance. They gave a quick glance over at each other, before Djaq gracefully left her seat, and went to fetch the small scroll of parchment. However, she did not notice a tall shadow come up behind her, and pull her into a deep embrace. She leant her head against his chest, before quickly realising they had work to do with their message, and so tried to pull away from her love, but to no avail. He only held on tighter when she tried to pull away, and they were both soon stood in the middle of the camp holding onto each other and laughing away.
'Will,' she said in between her giggles, 'we really need to get this done before the gang get back, let go.' He slowly stopped his tickling of her sides, and let his grip on her weaken to almost nothing. Djaq turned gradually in his arms, so that she was looking up lovingly into his soulful green eyes, and leant up to kiss him deeply on the lips. They stood there for a few seconds with each other, before Djaq pulled away from him to fetch the scrolls they would need for their message. All Will could do however was stand there staring after her, thinking of how lucky he had been to find her, and how nothing would ever hurt them; not now that they were this happy.
There you go then, not the longest thing in the world, but I did take a while trying to make it right. It wasn't totally happening for me. But please review. Pretty Please. Go on , you know you want to.
