Courtship

[Sora Scambers]

Elizabeth let out a sigh, though it was a teasing sigh. "Oh, if we must," she smiled. Elizabeth wrapped her arms around his neck and placed her head on his shoulder. "I'll tell father of our engagement tomorrow morning." She then looked up and smiled. "Expect me to visit you at the smithy first thing tomorrow morning."

[Brave Heart]

Will smiled at her sigh. "I think it's best for now." he replied softly. "Even shy men like myself can get carried away with the women they love." he gave her a gentle hug, burying his face in her hair and smiling; she smelled sweet like flowers. "I will eagerly await your arrival." Will whispered in Elizabeth's ear before pulling away. He turned her around and tied the strings back in place on her dress. "And just remember, whatever your father says doesn't change the fact that you alone have my heart." with that he turned around and left, content with the fact that Elizabeth shared in his desire to be together.

Elizabeth smiled, watching after him. She then frowned, remembering something and ran towards Will. "Will!" she called. "Wait!"

[Brave Heart]

Will turned at the sound of her voice, a sound that always brought joy to his heart. "What is it?" he questioned, waiting for her to catch up with him. Just being near her made life seem worth living and he had a sudden urge to hug her. An urge he just barely resisted.

Elizabeth brought him in a kiss, her arms wrapped around his neck and her lips firmly pressed into his. She kissed him for a moment and then pulled away and smiled. "Night," she breathed.

[Brave Heart]

Caught off guard Will gasped against Elizabeth's lips but soon started kssing her back as well. When they pulled away he was slightly out of breath. "Night." he replied softly, that one word holding a lot of love in it. "I love you."

[Sora Scambers]

Elizabeth smiled up at him and gave him a peck on the lips before pulling away. "I love you too," she whispered and then she ran off towards the Swann Mansion.

[Brave Heart]

A smile on his face, Will watched Elizabeth leave for a moment before heading off to the blacksmith. He was a lot farther away from home then Elizabeth and the streets were dark expect for a few lamps burning dimly overhead. But Will knew his way back without even looking at. He soon found himself in his empty room. Taking off his shirt, shoes and socks Will climbed in bed and was soon alseep, dreaming of Elizabeth.

The next morning...

After faking of being sick so James' wouldn't have to take her out, Elizabeth went to her room and then climbed out of it and headed on over to the smithy. With a small peak from the window, she stepped to the door and knocked on it gently.

[Brave Heart]

Having awoken at the crack of dawn like he always did Will was already working on a sword when he heard a soft knock on the door in between a swing. He paused in his work and walked over to the door, hoping it was Elizabeth. He wasn't disappointed. "Elizabeth." he greeded her shyly. He had on his normal work clothes and hadn't even bothered to tied his hair back, so it hung loosely around his neck. He stepped back so she could come inside.
