WHO: Friar Tuck, Will Scarlet
WHEN: Early March, 2020 - right before Will is paroled
WHERE: The...prison...
WHAT: A visit!
WARNINGS: Not likely?



Tuck tried to make it to see Will Scarlet once every fortnight, but sometimes it stretched out to once a month. He hadn't been since January and he felt terrible about it! His dear friend was in prison, separated from their family, and Tuck knew he had a parole hearing coming up the next week. He made it a priority to visit. He figured Will's nerves would be through the roof about it.

So he signed up on the visitation list, and while Will was informed he had a guest, Tuck went through all the security protocols. It did help that his record was squeaky clean and he was seen as an upstanding member of the community. Even if one of his boys had been in lockdown he would have appealed to visit as their 'priest'. He was just glad Will was in minumum security and therefore he didn't have to lie his way in to see his brother.

Once he'd been well and truly patted down, Tuck made his way into the little visitation room and he sat at one of the fake wooden tables, waiting for Will to be led in. His foot jiggled with anticipation, but when the door opened and Will was led through, Tuck grinned widely at his friend. He knew they were allowed one hug at the beginning and one at the end, so he stood to wrap Will up in a warm embrace. The man could probably use it.

"That works much better than the other two," tuck chuckled. "Have you been keeping safe, then?" He knew very well that Will could defend himself if he needed to. Will Scarlet had bruised and bested him quite a few times over the centuries. But if he was trying to behave himself he might not fight back and tuck worried about him a lot.

"Safe as houses, Tuck. The big house, specifically." Will shrugged. He knew how to run with outlaws, and make friends with dangerous people. He was friends with Robin Hood, after all! And he couldn't be seen to be making trouble, that wouldn't go down well with the parole board at all. "I've made friends. That guy Carl I told you of, he's doing reading remediation now, and he's improving every day. I'm just trying to help, you know?"

Tuck's face lit up and he smiled widely. "Will, that's wonderful! Of course you're helping, that's what we do. I'm glad to hear you're safe as well. I pray for you all the time." He knew Will didn't really believe, but Tuck did. "For you to be kept safe and return to us soon."

"You're too kind, friar." There was movement around the edge of the room, and Will glanced over. Jeez, was time coming up already? He sat forward, leaning his arms on the table, just to be a little closer to Tuck. "If they let me out at the hearing, you'll be the first to know. Well, first Robin, then you. Promise," he said, wanting to reach across the table and take Tuck's hand.

"First Robin, then me," Tuck agreed. Their leader was also Will's uncle, of course he should know first. Fuck, he didn't want to go. He didn't want to leave his friend already. He wanted to take Will's hand too, and hated that he couldn't. The Merry Men, most of them at least, were a tactile bunch and not being able to show his dear friend much physical affection was awful. And he imagined it was a thousand times worse for Will.

"I don't want to go," Tuck breathed. "Well, more like- I want to take you with me. Just keep going. Just another few weeks. I know you'll get out, Will. And I'll make you as much roast beef as you want."

"I know." Will nodded, feeling kind of forlorn. "Cross my heart, I am doing everything in my power to get that parole approved. You've never met a more model prisoner than me."

"I believe it," Tuck nodded. He glanced over at the guard who signalled for them to wrap it up. "Dammit. It's never enough time," Tuck hissed. "But we still get a hug." He rose from his seat and opened his arms to Will.

With a nod, Will got to his feet and held Tuck tightly, holding him close for every moment he was allowed to. Having a friend he could trust with his life so close but so far was painful to say goodbye to. "Look after everyone for me," he said into Tuck's shoulder. "Tell them I miss them."

"Always," Tuck whispered back. "I will. God, we all miss you too." Tuck only pulled back when he heard that clearing of the throat again, and he hated it. "Get yourself some chocolate from the commissary or something," Tuck suggested. He had put as much as he could afford on there, since he knew Will liked nice toiletries as well. "Love you, Will," he said, his voice quiet. And he did, he loved all the Merry Men and told them often. He felt like, of all of them, Will might most need to hear it right now.

Will gave Tuck a firm nod, his eyes saying what his mouth couldn't. He loved all of the Merry Men. They were his family. Being without them was like missing a piece of his soul. But as he glanced back, while the guards lead him out of the room, he promised himself that it wouldn't be long, and he'd be back home with them all once again. And he'd have better hair, and everything would be great.

Just as soon as he was out of this place.
