"You. I-" Will was shocked at how Djaq was looking at him calmly. "-You have? Who?"

Djaq breathed in deeply, and for a minute, Will thought the worst. She raked a hand through her hair and sighed, opening her mouth- but no sound came out.

Will peered at her curiously, desperate to see what she was trying to say. He focused on her mouth movements as she tried again, but no detection of sound came out like last time. Will focused on her thin lips. They were beautiful, gorgeously full of colour and life. They were shaped perfectly, and they looked so smooth...

Well, they felt smooth too…Will thought to himself amusedly. He should know- he's kissed her. How we wanted to kiss her again…

"-Will?" Djaq was baffled when she noticed him staring intently at her. Will jumped. He had not realised how drawn in he had been. Djaq peered at him curiously, and Will cleared his throat.

"I'm sorry. He mumbled, his ears turning pink. "I was- I was just-

"-DJAQ! WILL! WE HAVE TO GO!"

Will and Djaq turned disappointingly at Robin, who shrugged a 'sorry' and they realised it was Much that had yelled, not him. Will's mind screamed in protest because he wanted to hear whom Djaq had chosen. She looked at him and was annoyed with Much, making to go. Will caught her hand, and she turned to him curiously.

"Who?" Will stammered out. "Djaq, tell me."

"This is not the time." Djaq mumbled. "We should go."

"But-

"-Please Will!" Djaq tried not to snap and roll her eyes at him. "Later. I will tell you and Allan later."

Will saw her desperation and hurt, so decided to let her do as she wanted. He smiled at her slightly and moved towards Robin.

"Alright?" Robin asked, busy doing up his bag. "what's the matter?"

Will just blushed. "nothing." He looked over and saw Djaq telling Allan off for nearly tearing his stitches. "what's with Allan?"

"He wants to come." Robin chuckled. "Bless."

"Are you trusting him now?" Will asked, trying not to keep the excitement out of his voice.

Robin sighed.

"I don't know." He swung the bag over his shoulder and looked at Will. "He's a good man, Will. Djaq saw that before all of us, like you both did." He sighed again. " He's begging me to forgive him- take him back- but I'm stuck. I can't believe that I don't know what to do."

"And Marian?" Will asked suddenly. "What does she say?"

Robin looked up at Will and smiled.

"She tells me to grow up."

--

"ROBIN!" Djaq screamed. "WILL YOU JUST FACE THE FACT THAT THERE ARE TO MANY AND LET US RUN!"

"WE DON'T RUN!" robin yelled. "WE FIGHT!"

Djaq rolled her eyes and muttered 'men!' as she fought off a guard. "STOP BEING SUCH A…SUCH A-

"-MY GANG! THIS WAY!" Robin shouted, wafting his arm to signal a run.

Much and John fought off the last ones and Will helped Djaq with three other ones before all of them ran towards heir leader and hid in the shadows.

"Off our tail?" Much whispered.

"It seems so." Robin moved his neck to get a better look. "I thought we'd face the fact that there were so many and run."

Djaq turned around and shot him a look- Robin just smiled back. She rolled her eyes and tugged on Will's cloak.

"Child. Looks lost." She whispered, and pointed towards the small boy. He nodded, turning to Robin who also nodded, and they both sneaked down to help the young boy to get back to his family.

"Hello." Will whispered kindly to the small boy. "We should go, the guards are here."

The boy looked at them curiously and his eyes turned to Djaq.

"I know you." He mumbled. "My brother Finn says you're very pretty."

"Why thank you." Djaq chuckled. "Come on." And she took his hand and they ran off silently, Will mumbling something about cloaks.

"What?" Djaq whispered as she took the boy to his small hut.

"You should be wearing a cloak." Will mumbled quietly. "You'll catch- you'll catch something."

The boy looked up and gave him a look. "give her yours then." He gave him a look as if to say "hello?"

"I was going to!" Will told him indignantly, undoing his cloak. Djaq rolled her eyes, but smiled secretly to herself.

"Go on then!" The boy rolled his eyes and turned back to the hut and looked at Djaq. "I'll go now. Thanks for walking me home. Do you want to meet Finn?"

"Oh- I should go." Djaq told him quickly. "We have to do some deliveries."

"If you didn't want to meet him, you should have said so." The boy shrugged, walking away. "And before you ask, my name's John."

Djaq chuckled, but then felt a cloak drape her shoulders. She looked up and smiled at Will warmly.

"I would tell you not to treat me like a pansy." Djaq spoke softly. "But your gesture is sweet. Thank you."

Will blushed and did up the bow. "I actually wanted to ask what your decision was."

Djaq sighed and looked out. "I-I feel cruel."

"Cruel?" Will was startled. "Why?"

"I've been leading you both on- keeping your hopes up." Djaq shamefully looked down at her boots. "I never wanted- not- I love. I've always loved-

She cut off, sighing at her stammering. She tried again. "I understand who I've always wanted. I've been so stupid- and I don't know what to do."

"who do you love?" will asked softly, his heart turning over and his stomach churning.

Djaq looked at him longingly. "I love you." She told him finally. "I love you. You're quiet, different, and passionate. I never told you because I was scared to admit it myself. I was scared of doing this, of losing the last bit of Saffiyah I had. I didn't know who I loved more until I looked at Allan, an did looked at you, and I saw who my gaze returned to again. I-I've been so stupid-

"Djaq." Will let out a moan- a moan of love and desperate longing, of a man breaking. He reached for her. "Just shut up."

And he lowered his mouth and kissed her passionately.
