For the 2010 Robin Hood drabblefest
Prompt: Guy: Marian
Summary: Guy wants, desires, needs Marian
He wants her.
She's beautiful. She's from a noble family. His social standing would be improved by such a wife. And it would hurt Robin Hood for Guy to possess the object of his desire.
He desires her.
She's compassionate and he longs the tenderness and concern she is capable of to be directed at him.
He craves her.
It's an obsession, he knows, fantasising about having her in his arms, in his bed.
He loves her.
Despite her distrust of him, despite her mercurial reception of his advances, constantly flickering between warmth and coolness towards him, he is in awe of her.
He needs her.
She could be his one chance at doing something right in his life. She could be his redemption.
