A/N: gill/molly is always welcome! :D i really enjoyed writing this, and it was a real eye opener that i need to write more for the drabble123 challenge.

Gill watches it all, and despite knowing that it won’t be any good to his mood, he still thinks about it every time his hands aren’t working some task. He knows it’d come to this point and it’d be come something …hindering. But not this soon, in his mind, it’d happen sometime in the future.

And he can’t help but feeling guilty that he even considers it for the shortest of moments, and that he watches the way the other boys (she does this too with Candace and Selena and even his father, but Gill often overlooks these things) greet her every day or so as she brings them gifts-it all works up to a larger plan, she says, she’s becoming their friends, she wants to be friends of these people, know their secrets so that she will be able to help them. It’s not his fault that he feels that he should watch over her and protect her, because she is something precious to hold, the best thing that wound up on this island-no, scratch that-because clearly Molly doesn’t look after herself, seeing how she runs around Harmonica even when whipped by violent winds.

In the end of things-and Gill doesn’t like admitting this-he was feeling rather protective of Molly. (Read ‘jealous of the other boys and girls.’)

But she’s asking for it, really. Upon his return home, Gill’s father made sure to let him know about all the things the girl did for the island: from climbing down the Lower Garmon Mines to help Owen to risking getting lost in the shadowy trails of Fugue Forest, which made the young man question his father’s sanity. First, because Molly’s doing the job he should be doing for his island, and then, because the people allow this little stranger to work for them, and no one dares to look for her. Where’s respect nowadays.

And worse, she does all these things for them and they get all of her attention, as if she were a mother hen and the villagers her kin. Gill can’t help but feel slightly heart-warmed at that imagery, but he can’t also help but feel that that is a family he should be part of. Gill watches as Molly gives some gift to Luke after he stops swinging his axe for a moment, and then his cheeky smile as she makes some comment, and maybe they laugh together. Gill wonders if he should admit defeat and be as helpless as they are to get a little bit of her time.

Needless to say, this watching does nothing to satisfy the sense of yearning in him.
