Hello :) Here another girl of the Trash Band, I just want to let you know that I don't write fic frequently, so maybe you will not like it but I hope you will! But stay here to read the AMAZING fics of my AMAZING FRIENDS! It is for the third day of the song ''12 days for Christmas'' : 3 hens.
Robin Hood lived in the forest, and had always been with his Merry Men as their leader. He was a simple bandit, surviving in the woods and dreaming about the life he didn't have but wished he had. His competitor was the one and only Regina Mills. He never met her, but he knew she's always around. He hated her. He certainly knew that she wanted to take his place as the leader of the Merry Men because they talked about her, how wonderful and amazing she is...
It's almost Christmas, it is early in the morning and he had to go hunt and brought back a hen for dinner. He didn't like to do it, but if they wanted to eat, they had no choice. His arrow never missed, so he will definitely be back for breakfast with his Merry Men.
As he walked through the woods, respiring the fresh air of the forest, he spotted not one but three hens. He hid behind a tree and prepared his bow and arrow. He looked at the innocent animal and was ready to shoot when he heard a sound behind him. He turned around and saw a woman with a bow and arrow. He looked stunned during that moment until she finally spoke.
''Thief, if you kill this hen, I will have no other choice than to kill you'' she said, still pointing her arrow at him. Her voice was sharp but as the same time so damn beautiful.
''Don't know there are animal's protectress here'' he shot back, never afraid of riposting even if a lady is pointing an arrow to him, and now also pointing his arrow to her.
''Well, Robin Hood, I suggest you to let down your arrow or you will receive mine'' she said, looking right through his eyes.
''Oh so the lady know my name, can I know yours?'' he answered.
He couldn't say who she was, but he liked her. She had guts, she's stubborn, bossy and dare he say, stunning in every way? Because she's simply gorgeous with her braided hair, falling over her right shoulder, her chocolate brown eyes and her desirable lips.
''Oh don't play dumb with me, thief, you know damn well who I am'' she said, with a desperate sigh but still looking at him with menacing eyes. ''Think about it, outlaw, think well, search in that little head of yours'' she spoke again and gave him a little smile. He licked his lips and closed his eyes, trying to figure who she was.
And then it clicked.
Regina Mills. The Bandit. His enemy. He supposed to hate her, but he couldn't stop himself from liking her.
How he had not thought about it? A woman with a bow and arrow, it could only be Regina Mills. He opened his eyes and saw her still smirking at him. He really looked like an idiot. ''Regina Mills'' he whispered.
''Well well, it seem the thief have a brain after all'' she answered with laughter.
Her laugh was beautiful. Why did everything about her have to be beautiful?
''Will we rest here forever, or you will let down your arrow, milady?'' he replied with a smirk of his own.
''Not until you do the same, outlaw'' she said.
''Stubborn. I like it''
''I'm sorry for you because I like nothing about you'' she said back, not looking at him in the eyes anymore.
Regina Mills had always been good in hiding her feelings, but now when she really looked into his blue eyes, she started to love his gaze on her and his sexy smirk which showed his dimples. She always said to herself how much she hated him, how much she wanted to have his life, to not be alone anymore.
If she wanted to have his place as the leader of the Merry Men, she couldn't like him. She had to stay strong. But would she be able to do that, or would her feelings be stronger this time?
Each time their gaze connected together, it's magical. Her fast beating heart betrayed her mind to think clearly. She never let love in, always pushed away each man who wanted her. The difference here is that she wanted him and not another man. But she didn't think clearly, he never said he wanted her, maybe he hated her just like she supposed to hate him.
She wanted to scream, to run away from him, but she couldn't because of her stupid heart.
She closed her eyes and breathed deeply, and then she heard horses coming in her back, she turned around and saw the Snow White's carriage.
He saw her turn toward him once again, and then he saw no more stubborn bandit, she was scared, and though she stayed strong, he could saw how scared she really was. He knew that she was strong, but seeing her showing that she had, in fact, fears like anyone else, he found her even more strong and beautiful.
Their eyes still connected together, he saw her smile at him and then she started to run. But he couldn't let her go. Not like this. ''REGINA'' he screamed and run toward her.
When he reached her she said ''What are you doing, Robin? You will let yourself get killed if you stay with me''
''For a lady who wanted to kill me earlier, I'm surprised that you actually care'' he said.
When she didn't respond, he took her hand in his, trying to ignore how this simple touch felt so right, and whispered ''Come with me, my horse is not far way, you will be safe, milady, I promise."
He saw her look uncertain and saw her struggle on trusting him. He kept her hand in his and let his thumb caress her skin back and forth. He would do anything to saw another smile on those beautiful lips.
She didn't trust easily but those eyes are impossible to not fall into. She didn't really knew him, but what she knew is that his eyes said everything, he was sincere, and she trust him completely.
She nodded her head and he smiled at her before started running with her hand still in his. And then she heard him laugh, and she laughed and nothing could seem to stop them, even if the situation was not really funny, his smile had succeed to brighten the mood.
Until they reached his horse and their laughter died. They faced each other, and then she felt his hands on her cheeks, and then on her waist, until she felt her back pressed against a tree.
She looked away from him, but he put one of his finger under her chin until their gaze connected once again. She closed her eyes and without any hesitation he pressed his lips to hers. She let her eyes remained closed and put her hands on his shoulders. His grip on her waist became more desperate as he continued to move his mouth against her. She can't hide how she's feeling anymore, so she let her hands pull up until they rested on his cheeks. She tried to deepened the kiss but his lips left hers and he let his forehead fell against her.
She breathed deeply and opened her eyes to saw that his are still closed. She took a minute to look at his features, she traced his cheeks, and lips with her fingers. She saw him smile and lightly caressed his dimples. Could she already love all of him, when she in fact was supposed to be his enemy?
''Robin'' she whispered closed to his ear and felt him caress her waist and hips.
''Mmmhh?'' he only responded, with this small smile still across his face.
''What does this mean?'' she asked.
''I don't know, but what I do know is that I want to stay here with you in my arms'' he answered, finally opening his eyes.
Seeing his crystal blue eyes looking right through her, she knew that she can't pushed him away like she intended to, because she wanted the same, rested in his arms forever. Feeling safe and feeling loved. Because right now she did and she didn't want this feeling to stop. There was a connection that she couldn't describe, but that she felt with her heart.
''Robin'' she said.
''Yes?'' was his only response.
''What do we do now? I still have to escape Snow White... and we are supposed to hate each other Robin, so how did we end up kissing each other?'' she said, taking a deep breath and looking to the ground, avoiding him. ''If Snow White find me, she will kill you with me''
''You wanted to kill me'' he said, smiling at her like an idiot.
She laughed, and slapped him on the shoulder ''That's not funny Robin, I will never kill you''
''So it seems my charm have suffice to seduce you'' he said, smugly.
''You have not seduced me'' she replied, crossing her arms over her chest.
''Are you sure about that?'' he said, lifting one of his eyebrow in a suggestive manner. He then leaned toward her once again and captured her lips with his own.
What Regina Mills knew was that she definitely couldn't resist Robin of Locksley.
He continued to savour the taste of her, and he knew that he couldn't ever grow tired of her kisses. He broke the kiss and said ''Regina, please, come with me at my camp''
There was no denying anymore, so she nodded her head. He put his hands on her waist once again and then helped her to climb the horse. Second later he followed her and rested in front of her. ''Milady, if you not want to fall you have to hold me''
She put her arms around his waist and let her head fell on his back, inhaling his scent. He definitely smells like forest, she thought. She let her lips touched the skin of his neck, and kiss him lightly. This started with one, then another, and a third one, until she heard his voice saying ''You definitely have to stop that''.
She chuckled ''Why? Can't handle me now? I thought better of you'' she teased.
''You have no idea what you're doing to me'' she said, his breathing fastened.
She pressed a last kiss on his skin, and let her head drop once again on his back, where she closed her eyes and tighten her grip around his waist.
In a matter of time they arrived at his camp, and he helped Regina to come down from the horse. Once their feet were on the ground, he took her hand in his and gave her a little squeeze, kissing her knuckles and looking at her, offering her a sincere smile.
He thanked God who had put this woman on his way, she looked so beautiful and he can't stop himself from looking at her. Her beautiful brown eyes were shining, her smile could be his remedy, to this life without love.
He then saw Will and Little John walking toward them. He knew that it would be a shock for them to see them together, but now he can truly understand why his Merry Men always said she was amazing. She was more than amazing, to his eyes, she was perfect, stunning in every way.
''Robin... and Lady Regina...'' Will began.
''What a great surprise to see you two together'' Little John continued, a smile forming on his face.
He saw his two friends looking at their intertwined hands. ''What is going on?'' John asked, with a puzzled expression on his face.
''Well, we met in the forest and I wanted to bring back dinner, but she totally stopped me from killing this hen by pointing an arrow to me'' he chuckled and looked at Regina. ''I can't really explain what happened next, can we say destiny?''
Their eyes connected once again and Regina nodded her head.
''We certainly could say destiny'' she said, still looking at him because nothing could seemed to stop them from looking at each other.
Will and Little John nodded in agreement, looking really pleased by the turning of events between the two bandits.
The night had fell upon the camp, they were all sitting around the camp fire. Regina and Robin were sitting next to each other, Robin's hand had automatically fallen on her thigh and she put her hand on top of his. Then, Robin stood as she looked at him walked away and second later he came back with something hidden behind his back.
He sat beside her once again and showed her an apple. ''I thought you could be hungry. And I offer you this apple, red, irresistible and magnificent. Just like you are, milady'' he said, with his attractive voice.
She stayed stunned during a moment until she said ''Thank you, Robin'' and then she blushed, taking the apple and pressing a kiss to his lips, lovingly.
She ate the apple until she heard Will playing guitar, it was a sweet melody. Robin stood once again and offered her his hand to take. ''Would you like to dance?'' he asked.
Regina nodded and stood, taking the hand Robin was offering. They started to dance slowly, they kept swaying to the rhythm of the music which surrounded them. He turned her around several times, until he brought her back to him. Chest to chest, they danced, just looking at each other, perfectly content.
It started to snow, maybe it looked cliché, and Regina Mills was not a woman who do cliché, but for once, she didn't care. She kissed him under the snowflakes and let herself being overwhelmed by this feeling, with this man. There is no more competition, there was only a new beginning, a second chance, between two souls, not two enemies.
She knew that Robin Locksley had given her the best Christmas present, the one she always wanted: LOVE.
Fin.
I don't know if guitar existed in the Enchanted Forest, but we will say that they existed ok? Haha ;) I hope you all liked it and there will be another one tomorrow for Day 4 :)
