Giselle walked into her dorm room, it was cold and dark. Just like how she felt right now. She ran her hand along the wall and stopped to sit down on the crinkly bed mattress. She rested her head on the pillow and laid her hands on her stomach staring at the blank ceiling. Giselle allowed a few tears to trickle down her cheek and wiped them as they dangled off her chin.
Will took a deep breath and knocked on Giselle's door. He wanted to apologized for the way Robin and Marian had burst in. And he wanted to ask her why she just walked out.
Giselle pulled open the door and smiled at Will "Hey" she welcomed him. She stepped aside so he could walk in
Will stayed outside. "Hey, sorry about that. They were my little problem that I had when I first met you." He raised his eyebrows and gave her a small smile.
She crossed her arms and leaned against the door frame "I noticed.." She tipped her head to the side "Everythings alright?"
"Apparently so. They're together now, happy. My sister forgives me as does my best friend and it sounds like they broke minimal hearts in the process." He sighed. "With Robin, Marian and I that's really the best you can hope for."
Giselle nodded "Good, thats good" She smiled at him and stood up straight "And you didnt lost your sister now did you?" She asked trying to jog him memory from the other day
"Nope didn't lose my sister. Though I am worried about her now." Will ran a hand down his face. "I just left her alone, in a dorm, with Robin Hood. I must be insane."
"If I go out now the pair of them will kick me out on my a**." He said with a laugh. He hoped Marian had enought good sense still that she wouldn't do anything stupid.
"Im sure you have nothing to worry about" She assured him "Your sister seems like she's got a good head on her shoulders.." Giselle smiled and looked at Will "You still up for going somewhere?" She asked not sure if he still even wanted to hang around her
"Robin has always had his ways of robbing girls of their good sense." Will said with a bit of a sneer. "Yeah, sure. It's help to keep my mind off of what might be happening in that dorm. Where were you thinking?" he asked.
"Dont anticipate trouble, or worry about what may or may not happen" She encouraged and sighed "What were YOU thinking?" She asked raising an eyebrow
"That is where you're wrong Giselle. Always anticipate trouble, always worry about what might come next cause if you're not prepared for it, you'll pay for it." He pointed a finger at her. "I wasn't thinking, in fact I was going to let you think for me."
She nodded, he kind of explained alot. She pushed his finger down and met his eyes "Seems to me that when you're preparing for whats ahead of you, your not paying attention to whats right in front of you, hm?"
"I can multi-task." He assured her. "I pay plenty of attention to the here and now. I wouldn't have so much fun in my life it I didn't."
"Oh really?" She cocked her hip placing her hands on her sides "So you call trying to be in two places at once enjoyable?" She rolled her eyes "And what could possibly make your life so fun?"
"Who said I was trying to be in two places at once?" Will threw his hands up as if he was surrendering. "Living in the moment while planning for the future. You go with the flow but always have a back up plan. It's the only way to live." He grinned.
Giselle smiled "Im sure its not the only way" she pondered his outlook "but I guess it's smart, a back up plan..." She looked up "never thought of it like that before"
"My outlook on life might be considered a bit skewed; especially in the morals department but not all of it is bad." he assured her.
"Who said your persepective was bad.." She shrugged her shoulders "I think its smart.. maybe a little different, but not bad"
"I never said bad, only skewed. To steal from the rich to give to the poor. A very debateable moral dilema but instead of debating it we just did it. Saved us time and trouble." Will said.
She crossed her arms and nodded "So were back to this again?" She wasnt in the mood to debate over this. It was like he wanted her to have something more to say about his former life. What was to be explained, Will was a robber, enough said.
"Not back to this again, only a statement." Will told her. She had asked what was wrong with the way he lived his life. That was one of his best examples. "Now, didn't you want to go somewhere?" he asked.
"Fair enough" She agreed, and smiled "I believe I did.." Giselle closed the door behind her "Im terrible at making decisions though.. anything special you wanted to do today?" She asked
"No, no, not that I can think of but I can wait for you to make up your mind." He leaned back against the wall in a fairly comfortable position.
Giselle threw her head back in disbelief "You're quite stubborn aren't you Will?" She smiled and mimicked his position on the other side of the hallway wall.
"Exceedingly stubborn, and patient. I've spent entire nights in very uncomfortable positions just to get whatever I was doing, done." He sat down agianst the wall, leaned his head back and closed his eyes.
Giselle smirked "Am I supposed to be Impressed?" She asked him as she looked down at him, raising her eyebrows
"You're impressed." Will assured her. "Or you will be eventually." He wasn't moving, he was actually quite content just sitting there, teasing Giselle. It was an easy way to pass time.
"I dont know.." She shook her head, smilling Giselle sat down across from him, seeing that he wasnt in a mood to get up. "Doesnt seem all that impressive to me"
"Oh, I'm impressive. In so many ways. Go on, ask me anything." He smiled at her, not quite sure what game they were playing but enjoying it all the same.
"Why?" She laughed "So you can gloat about yourself?" She tapped his shoulder teasing him "I dont think so.."
"I do love to gloat about myself." Will made a wistful face. She always and never fell for his schemes. At least not when he really wanted her to. "Well then what are you thinking?" He asked.
"Your so humble arent you Will?' She made a sarcastic serious face and then broke a smile. Giselle concentrated on her fingers "Im thinking that you cant read my mind.." She looked up at him pretending to be suprised "Ooh, Theres one thing not to triumph about.. am I right?"
"Never been humble a day in my life and it has served me well so far." Will grinned as he spoke in a sing-song voice. He pressed two fingers to his temple in concentration. "Nope, can't read your thoughts yet but I'm working on it."
"Your pride will eat you up one day.." She grinned at him and met his eyes "Just you wait.." She watched Will, laughing quietly at him
"I'll give you a ring when it does." He assured her. "You can write my epitaph. 'Will Scarlet, the boy eaten alive by his pride. He was also very charming and good looking'" He made a grand hand gesture and then winked for emphasis.
Her eyes widened at him "You are so full of yourself!" She joked and nudged his shoulder "Might wanna try learning to live on less pride, it could be a good investment in the future."
Will made a face. "I don't want to think about the future right now. I want to lean heavily on my good looks and Charm until that doesn't work anymore." He spoke very quickly.
"Alright, but I thought you said to alway plan for the future?" Giselle questioned him "And dont worry, your appeal will wear off in no time" She assured
Will pointed an affirming finger into the air and then at her. "I did, but I also said live in the moment." He made a hurt face. "I highly doubt that. My appeal is infinite."
"Yes but you also said, plan for the future" She reminded him again, She scanned his face jokingly and shook her head"Not by the looks of it" She teased
"I am planning for the future. My plan for the future is all set." He said assuredly. "I don't believe you. You are one opinion. i believe whole heartedly in my appeal." He raised his fist like his words were some kind of war cry.
"It is hm?" She asked and smiled "Well dont keep looking to the dog for your charm, because it seems that is where you picked it up" Giselle awaited his response
"You are the most thickheaded perosn I have ever met. You know that?" He gave her an astounded look. How could she actually sit there and say those things. Will was irresistable. She must still just be upset with him or something.
