Nightmares in Shatter

[will_scarlett]

He woke biting his lip to keep from screaming and shivered in bed for a while.

Marley still slept so he stood up, pulling the blanket around him as his scars felt like they were on fire and somehow got out to the hallway.

The world is dark and close and he shivers and trembles and tries not to fall to pieces.

"You are. Don't let them destroy you. Something in you was strong enough to hold up against them. Strong enough to bring me back. To help Sam. Believe in it." More kissing to his cheek and forehead now.

[will_scarlett]

She'll taste tears on his cheeks as he nods again and kisses her gently on the lips,

"Didna break."

Kate hugged him and kissed back, "Have to let go of it eventually, Will. I'm sure Robin wouldn't want this to be taking you apart like this."

[will_scarlett]

"Just fear I let 'im down after 'e took a chance on a poor thief from Nottingham."

Her kiss helps a bit but still, it all feels far too close and he holds her as close as he can.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"Oh no, you couldn't have. They questioned you all that time, and you didn't tell them anything. Do you know how many would have for less than that? How many would have broken, or gone insane, or died from it? You're still here, still strong and brave." She hugged him tightly and stroked his hair again. More nuzzling again.

[will_scarlett]

"Couldna 'ave let Robin down, 'e took such a chance on me, couldna let 'im down, couldna."

He kisses her back, trying to drown his fears in the taste and feel of her.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"You didn't. You didn't let him down, Will." Trying not to cry herself and just kissed him back desperately.

[will_scarlett]

Another small nod and shiver as he pulls her close, feeling her against his bare skin and her hands in his hair and on his scars,

"Didna, truly, Kate?"

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"Truly," She whispered and embraced him close with more kisses. Her hands started to gently slide along his back and in his hair.

[will_scarlett]

He shivers at the feel of her hand, not understanding why she would wish to be so close to a man like him and kisses her with desperate almost painful passion.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's love? Logic doesn't apply here.

Her hand continued moving more along his spine up and down. She kissed back more and deeply, soft noises in the back of her throat.

[will_scarlett]

Her hands move over his scars and he moans at the touch, kissing ever deeper as his hand gets lost in her dark, safe hair.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

She pulled him closer, deeper kisses, tongues sliding against each other, and her hands moved faster along his back. Fingertips tracing along his spine.

[will_scarlett]

Now he does moan, low and deep as his hand finds her lower back and leans down pulling her on top of him. Thoughts feel too fast or too slow, the feel of her is real.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

She moaned when his hand touched her lower back, and that also lead to her arching toward him. She continued to kiss him, sometimes leaning down to kiss his neck and chest.

[will_scarlett]

Thoughts are gone now and his hands move over her skin, exploring and touching its softness though never too high or too low as he moans along with her.

Softly falling against the bed so he can be closer and not even aware of the small pain on his back.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

Kate moaned along with him, but she did pause for a moment with realization, "Will, are you all right?" Stilling her hands for the time being with concern.

[will_scarlett]

He has to find his breath again and gives her a smile, its shaky but there,

"Aye, I am, Kate."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"What about your back? I'm not too heavy am I? Are you comfortable?"

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye, Kate, I'm well. Trust me, I'll let ye know if I'm 'urtin'."

He moves so she is resting on top of him.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

She relaxed and rested her head on his chest for a moment. Quietly listening to his heartbeat. So warm.

"So glad the snow's gone," she whispered softly.

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye, the warmth is lovely as are ye."

He whispers too as he runs a hand through her hair, keeping her close to him.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

She nodded, "Hoping winter's gone for a long time. Don't want any ice or snow. And I don't think I ever want to see one damn apple for a very long time." The last part was especially vehement, and she clung to him more.

[will_scarlett]

"Shh, na need for ye to see anythin' ye dinna wish for. Canna keep ye fully safe but will do all I can when I 'old ye in my arms."

Then he pulls her even closer and runs his hand down her hair to her back.

Brief shudder ran through her body, and she softly replied, "Guess I shouldn't be giving any advice right now. Can't let go yet either."

She sniffled and wiped her eyes.
