I own nothing.

Thank you to all my reviewers you inspire me to keep writing this fic.

Sorry for not updating in so long.

Djaq had never had a lover before, she'd never even kissd a man before having gone straight from the strict religious culture of Saladin's camp to masquerading as a boy. She had to admit she rather liked it.

She had heard the way Gisbourne behaved with the kitchen girls at Vasey's castle and had at first been wary of letting him into her heart but he had never tried to take advantage of her. Never even tried to get her to give him more than the kisses they stole when they were sure no one was watching.

And Djaq discovered something else, Guy made her happy. She loved him, she was sure she did, she was falling fast maybe too fast but it felt so good she didn't want to stop.

It was stupid and she knew it was, she had never had dreams of a handsome soldier sweeping her off her feet like so many of her friends in the holy land. This couldn't last and when it ended it would hurt. So why couldn't she stop?

Guy had left that morning to pretend to the sheriff he had escaped, Djaq couldn't stop thinking about him, he was in dangr because he helped them and if they won he would be in danger because he tried to kill the king.

Djaq truly couldn't think of a way to save him and it broke her heart.

"Djaq, what's wrong with you today?" Allan asked gently, "Is it Will? I know you love him, why are you like this?"

They were on patrol handing out money and keeping an eye out for anything out of the ordinary, even though they were alone Djaq didn't feel it was a sensible place to talk about her love life.

"Allan is this really the time?" Djaq askd teying to change the subject.

"This has to be sdorted out Djaq, I waited for three days hoping you'd sort it out bettwen yourselves but you havn't, Will says you ran away."

"I did, I can't bare to hurt him, but I can't help it, I don't love him. I'm not playing games Allan I like Will but only as a friend."

"Who is he then?" Allan asked gravely.

"I don't understand" Djaq said.

"You've had a lovelorn look on your face for three days. Doesn't your love love you?"

"I know he loves me but it's not that simple Allan. It's very complicated and in the long run it will never work."

"What's his name?" Allan asked.

"Please Allan don't do this," Djaq begged.

"You can't love him that much if you're too ashamed to tell me his name." Allan snapped, "Will's a good man and as a former slave who dresses as a boy you could do a lot worse."

"Leave her alone Allan" Robin said dropping out of a tree seemingly coming from no where. "Djaq is being incredibly stupid but at the end of the day we can't stop her. I don't like him, but he clearly adores Djaq."

"How do you know?" Djaq askd Robin surprised.

"I saw you, three days ago with him. I wanted to kill him, he doesn't deserve you Djaq and you must know it can't last."

Realization dawned on Allan's face, "no not him, please Djaq anybody but him, he's a murderer."

"I know he's done terrible things, I can't excuse that but there's more to him than that, I know it's foolish I know it can't last but I can't help it. Please don't tell Will."

"Alright Djaq" Robin nodded, "we won't tell, will we Allan?" he said giving his friend a warning look.

"No" Allan said "but if he so much as harms a hair on your head, I will kill him."

"I can't disagree with that" Robin said, "Come on Djaq we have work to do."

So that was an end to it.

Sometimes these smelly, souless, impossible men were as unpredictable as their dangerous lives.

That night Djaq went to see Gisbourne, Robin sent her to "steal" more gold knowing full well Gisbourne would give it to her. He was on their side now he would have given the gold to any of them but Robin sent Djaq on purpose.

Djaq snuck into Guy's house with ease, she snuck into his chamber's where he sat writing.

"Letter's to the black knights informing them of the plan, in code of course." He said as soon as she came in.

He gave her a copy of the code and one of the letters.

"Robin and Allan know" she said straightaway.

Guy's face portrayed a range of emotions, horror, anger and then fear.

"What happened?" he asked.

"They don't like it but they won't stop me, you're too valuable as a spy for that, but they will both kill you if you hurt me."

"I wouldn't do that" Guy said pulling her into his lap and kissing her, "I love you" he confessed saying the words aloud for the first time.

"I love you too" she said back causing his smile to grow even wider.

As he kissed her neck he whispered two words into her skin "marry me".
