#complete, guy of gisborne

Who: Marian and Guy
When: Thursday morning
Where: Grocers
What: Begging for forgivness
Rating/Status: Incomplete/TBD

Guy wasn't due to start his shift for another two hours, but he knew Marian started at nine and he wanted to be here when she arrived. She couldn't really make a scene at work, could she? Still, luckily the store room was empty and Mike wasn't there to question his black eye. He just wanted a few minutes to apologise and explain, that was it. Then he would go, if she wanted him to, and come back when his shift started. He wouldn't blame her for not listening at all, however if Robin had believed him, perhaps there was an outside chance that Marian might listen.

Guy sat on a box of soup tins, as far away from the tap as he could get. He'd been avoiding water ever since he'd discovered what was causing the way they were all feeling. He'd had a quick shower the night before, but had made sure he'd gotten straight into bed and gone to sleep before he could be a menace to anyone. He'd been drinking mainly juice. He'd found he had a liking for apple juice. It probably wasn't that good for him, but there was so much here that was apparently unhealthy. As long as it tasted good, Guy didn't care. At least it wasn't turning him into a raving sex pest.

Guy sighed, leaning back against the wall as he waited. Surely she wouldn't be long, unless she decided not to come to work today. He didn't know what he'd do if she didn't. He couldn't go round to her room because Hood would be there, or at least find out he'd been. He'd just have to keep waiting around at work for her shifts to come up.

Marian looked down as she actually listened to his words, fiddling with her hands on her lap, trying to look like she didn't care what he said that she was set in the way she thought. She still couldn't believe that he could have done that to her, and she was angry as hell at him about it. Her face clear of that. "But you did. What are you trying to do right now? Explaining this to me?" She new he was asking her to forgive him, but she wanted him to say it.

Guy frowned. "I'm just trying to tell you how sorry I am. And how much you mean to me. I know that probably doesn't matter to you, after everything I've done, but you could always see the good in me when no one else could. I just hope you can see now that my apology and all that I say is genuine." He didn't expect her forgiveness. Just her understanding. He knew he didn't deserve her forgiveness.

Marian looked up at him for his words, the emotion showing on her face, not forgivness, but partial understanding, and still anger. She didn't want to forgive him, and she didn't even think she could. She just looked up at him, a thought coming to her. "I know you have always cared for me, Guy, but you need to understand that I am not yours to have... or to take." She then thought she needed to add this onto her statement as she walked to the door to the rest of the store. "I can't forgive you." It was a quiet tone, as she walked through the door to start her shift.

"I know that, Marian," he sighed. Did she have to rub it in? He had to live here, knowing she was married to his enemy and there was nothing he could do about it. It hurt almost as much as when she had been dead. There was an overwhelming sense of despair which it took all his effort to fend off. It was hard for him, but he dealt with it because she was worth it.

Guy looked down as she walked away. Her last words had stung more than he'd expected them to, but he knew it was what he deserved. Still, he wasn't going to give up. He had lived without her for too long to let the stupid water take her away again. He would put it right somehow.

Sighing, Guy made his way out of the shop the back way.
