Courtship

[Sora Scambers]

Will laughed. "You should appreciate how you live, Miss Swann," Will told her. "Some people have it worse. Not everyone is rich. Some people have to work as a blacksmith or some other."

[Brave Heart]

Elizabeth bit her lip, her heart beat quickening at Will's cute laugher. If only I could tell him what I feel for him "Well, yes but you don't know what it's like." she told him. "Being rich doesn't make you happy, money can't buy the things you really want. Plus I'm not allowed any freedom. I have to do everything my father says and dress all fancy and have dinner with men I don't like, and I can't play with any of my friends anymore and the worse part of all my father wants me to marry James and I don't want to, I have to go out with him tomorrow and..." Elizabeth's suddenly realized she was rattling on about things he probably thought were stupid to complain about and her face flushed in embarressment. "Forgive me, I'm sure you have better things to do then listen to me complain." she whispered softly, turning away. She wanted him to understand not laugh at her, but that was asking too much, they were only friends after all.

[Sora Scambers]

Will only smiled and turned her around to face him. "I understand, Elizabeth," Will said softly, almost in a whisper, using her name. He didn't like any of those ideas with Will marrying James. This was his chance. Check his pocket secretly once more, he took Elizabeth's hand in his. "But I think I can change one thing in your rich life, Elizabeth, and I offer real love. I love you."

[Brave Heart]

Elizabeth gasped softly and turned to look at Will, surprised by his bold move. She listened to his words, feeling the heat of his body he was so close. "You... you what?" she stammered, sure she'd heard him wrong. But no, those were indeed the words he'd said. A light breeze blew off the ocean making Elizabeth shiver and she instintcively stepped closer to Will, pressing her body against his lightly. She looked up into his eyes. "I love you too." she whispered.

[Sora Scambers]

Will had feared that she would've ran off, scared by his words, rejecting his love that he had for her. But no, she didn't. When he felt her body up against his own, he couldn't but help allow a small blush to appear on his face, yet he was more than joyful to hear her to say those four words. All he could do was smile, trying to not grin to make him seem like a fool.

"In that case, Elizabeth," Will breathed, keeping a hold of her hand as he got down on one knee. "I would like to ask you something."

[Brave Heart]

Overwhelmed with what Will had just told her Elizabeth didn't notice he was blushing, it was rather dark besides. She looked down at him, wondering if he could possibly be going to ask her what she hoped he would. "Yes?" she breathed, her heart fluttering as she reached out and touched his face, brushing her thumb over his cheek.

[Sora Scambers]

"I've never felt such strong feelings for any woman before," Will started out, putting a small kiss on her hand that was on his face. "I've thought it over numerous of times and it came to a conclusion. I can't live without you. If your father objects, I...well...I wouldn't know what I would do." Will pulled out a small, black velvet box and opened it. "Elizabeth Swann, would you do me the honors of becoming my wife?"

[Brave Heart]

A tear slipped down Elizabeth's face, she couldn't believe her ears, how could he possibly love her too? "Will..." she whisperd his name. "I don't know what my father will think but I know on thing, I won't object to you." she couldn't contain her excitement at his proposal. "Of course I will!" she replied, taking the little bow from his hand and eagerly putting her hand behind his neck, too happy to be shy.

[Sora Scambers]

Will had to contain his grin. He didn't want to embarrass himself; he never grinned before. He stood up and picked Elizabeth up and started to twirl her around, all while kissing her with so much love. Will pulled Elizabeth against him, stopping his twirl and held her tightly in his arms as he kissed her.

[Brave Heart]

"Will!" Elizabeth squeaked, giggling all the while. When he set her down Elizabeth started to kiss him back, with most of the love she had for him, she wrapped her one arm around his neck, the using the other to run down his chest. "I love you Mr Turner." she breathed.
