So
When you join the gang
Arthur really doesn’t think much about it
he doesn’t really focus too much on you, he’s got a whole lot of other things to focus on
Dutch yelling in his ear and the rest of camp relying on him to take care of them
it isn’t until one night when he’s finally made it back to camp and he’s taken a seat at the fire to relax for a moment before heading to his tent that he really talks to you
you’re sitting there yourself, admiring Horseshoe Overlook, and he simply says hello, merely a formality
but he finds himself staring at you and he can’t quite understand why
The fire illuminates your face just right and he just
he feels something inside his chest that he can’t explain
it’s like his heart skips, something about you, just looking at you sends something through him
from then on he can’t help but try to spend more time with you
He tries to push that away from his mind, he’s got so much stuff to deal with that he doesn’t think having these sort of feelings would really be the best idea
however
no matter how much he tries he just keeps thinking about you
the longer he thinks about you the more he seems to seek you out
He starts to find you in the mornings and ask you about things, gets to know you slowly but surely
He asks you all kinds of things
even if he thinks they’re awful questions
he hates small talk, because he feels like he’s just annoying you but he can’t not ask them if he wants to learn about you
He asks the questions like
“What’s your favorite color?”
“What do you do for fun?”
“Where’d you come from?”
Things about your family
how you got into this life
all those kinds of things, which again he hates because he feels like all he’s doing is bothering you
but of course he isn’t
you thought from the moment you’d met him up in the mountains he was a handsome man and you just couldn’t work up the courage to talk to him
it made things a lot easier when he started to talk to you first
it was far less intimidating when he actually opened his mouth and turned out to be a nice and funny man
He had a rough exterior for sure, but he was much softer on the inside
You were one of the only people who got to see that the closer the two of you got
When he realized that he had feelings for you that were more than just friendly he gets pissed off with himself and end up leaving camp for a week
You wonder where he’s went during that week, because you yourself have started to fall for him, and it makes you worried when he doesn’t return after about two days
When he does come back your excitement to see him is so much that you pretty much run to the entrance of camp with a smile on your face and a small gift for him in your hands
That smile makes his heart warm and he literally
he almost turns around to leave because he feels like he isn’t worthy enough to be with you
he’s killed people
he’s robbed people
I mean
he just feels like you’re too pure for him
He forces himself to stay because he needs to shave and he wants to see everyone, mainly you, but he does want to see everyone
You feel bad for acting that way too, because with you realize you have feelings yourself
however
you’re worried that you’ll just get in his way
and you think he doesn’t like you even though he truly does
You also worry that he might think you’re ugly because he looks down and never really looks you in the face when you talk to him
however
he does that because every time he looks you in the face he gets a red and he doesn’t want you to see him blush
After he gets back he decides that he just
He can’t ignore you anymore
So he talks to Hosea
and Hosea has known he’s liked you for a while
so he’s prepared
he knows that you like arthur too
he literally watches EVERYTHING
So he tells Arthur to just ask you
thats it
that’s his whole advice
just to ask you
to tell you how he feels
and arthur is all nerves
but he asks you if you’d like to go with him to go out drinking
he’s hoping that if he gets enough in his system he’ll be confident enough to tell you
of course you say yes because you will literally get any excuse to spend time with him
The two of you go into Valentine and into the saloon
Arthur tends to have a bit of an issue with drinking
we all remember the lenny mission
so he does his best to keep his drinks to a minimum
however
he does get a little tipsy
and he does start to slur his words
and he finally says what he’s been trying to say the whole night
“Y?N....you’re....you...you’re reaaaal special to me, ya know that? I’m real sweet on you.”
Of course you get all red in the face and you tell him that you’re sweet on him too
and he’s sober enough to remember it
so the two of you go back to camp, but, you decide to walk there, rather than take your horses
Arthur sends them home with a simple smack on their rears as the two of you reach the edge of Valentine
The walk back to camp really isn’t that far
so you two decide you’d like to walk together so you have a little bit more privacy with one another
just to talk and understand how you feel
As you’re walking under the stars towards camp he slips his massive hand over yours and interlocks his fingers with yours
He looks at you with a bit of a sheepish smile and a red haze on his face
You just happily squeeze his hand back
By the time you get to camp he’s almost completely sober, considering he wasn’t really drunk to begin with
and he asks you kindly if you’d like to start...well...start courting him
you say yes, you’d love to, but the two of you agree to keep it from camp for the moment, until the two of you are absolutely certain about how things are going
(You know how its going to go, you have felt something for him for the longest time possible)
As time goes on you and Arthur get closer, obviously, and the camp ends up finding it out that you two are together whether you wanted them to know or not
because Arthur came back from being out of camp for about a week and came right to you and scooped you up in his arms to kiss your forehead and your lips with all kinds of fervency
Also, everytime he comes home with cuts, bruises, bashes, any kind of wound you refuse to let anyone treat him but you
so he’ll sit on his cot and you’ll patch him up easily
if he needs stitches you stich him, though it’s never a pretty sight
you love to patch him up because to you its such an intimate feeling
you feel much closer and more connected to him when you show him how much you care for him
and he loves it too, the fact that you do care for him so and take care of his wounds no matter how many he has and how many times he’s come back with them
He loves the feeling of your hands on his face too, if you’re taking care of a cut in his eyebrow he’ll pay attention to the feeling of your palms on his cheeks and he’ll simply smile and hold onto your waist as you work
he loves it
he does hate when it’s a bit of a bigger, more serious wound
he feels bad for making you worry
so when he comes back and he has a big knife gash in his arm and it NEEDS stitches, he just tries to fix it himself
when that whole
Blessed Are the PeaceMakers mission happens
and he returns to camp with all kinds of issues
first off you’d been feeling bad about the situation that had happened to lead him to that job in the first place
you didn’t trust Micah
and you didn’t trust Colm
and yet he was going to go meet up with him
so when he finally returns after a few days
beaten, bleeding, bruised and half dead you’re in tears
but you still refuse to let anyone take care of him and you don’t even let dutch near him
Arthur of course, between his small bouts of unconsciousness he tells you not to look at him but he’s too weak to really stop you.
He is just the kind of guy who doesn’t want you to see him hurt, he doesn’t want to seem weak to you
though when he is fully conscious after a few days of rest he really appreciates that you stayed by his side and that you truly care about him
By this point in the relationship he knows that he loves you
he’s afraid to tell you
but
little does he know
that in one of his moments of unconciousness
he muttered it to you
not really aware of what was going on
and you promised to yourself that you wouldn’t tell him about it
because you didn’t want to embarrass him
So you just tell him that he means so much to you and that you’re incredibly glad that he’s okay
After that
the two of you are considerably closer
he is far more teasing now, joking, a lot more easy going, after almost dying he realizes that he needs to spend every day with you as happy as possible, rather than always being afraid
so he comes up behind you and hugs you, kisses your neck and shoulders
he doesn’t care whos in camp and who sees
he’ll make you chase him
he does everything he can to have fun with you, to make you smile
he loves to cuddle with you too
he’ll pull you into his lap around the fire
he doesn’t care if everyone is around
he wants you close to you
he wants to feel you against him
it makes him feel like he’s closer to you
and he loves having you sit in his lap
He does this one day and that is when he really tells you that he loves you
At least thats the first time hes conscious and he tells you
Which you tell him that you love him too immediately which makes him light up like no other
As much as he is a gentlemen to you, and a prankster, and a fun loving guy
he is also
extremely dirty
i mean
hes an outlaw, a cowboy, who was raised by Dutch, and who probably ‘became a man’ in a brothel
He was surrounded by John and Javier, and Bill for the majority of his growing years
he is a dirty, dirty man
even if he hides it or likes to pretend that hes a gentlemen towards women
if he’s with you? Courting you?
he knows things
and he will use them against his S/O
so when things get to a point where the two of you are comfortable and you’ve both said I love you
he starts to say things to you that would make a sailor blush
I mean he whispers the most
freak nastiest
leg shakiest
A tear rolled down my leg
kinda things in your ear in the middle of camp while you’re trying to do chores
you’re trying to hang up laundry and he comes up behind you with a hard on and wraps an arm around your waist and kisses your neck deeply before saying this:
“Princess, you make me wanna worship those thighs of yours every moment of the day, you keep bendin’ down like that and I’m gonna have to take you outta camp, unless you can keep it down while I fuck you out by a tree.”
“Jesus Arthur-”
Or like you’ll be trying to gather water for Pearson and he’ll stop you as your leaning over the lake to fill the bucket
you’ll feel a hand glide over your back, starting at your rear and then finding the base of your hair, where he tangles his fingers in it
He’ll yank you up by your hair, not too hard of course, and pull you against his chest
“Mhmmm....you almost done with chores Sugar? I ain’t had you in at least a day...you’re makin’ me hungry.”
He knows how to lower that voice of his too
so you’re weak in the knees every time that he does that
Abigail and the others will notice how red you are in the face and how out of breath you are, and that’s just from him saying these things
They always tease you about it
sometimes they ask you
“What did he say this time?”
Or they’ll simply snicker at you
though Karen likes to be nice enough to offer to take your chores so that you can go have some fun
(She knows how it be, as much as Sean is Sean sometimes he’s got his moves ready to go and she feels the same way you do)
Sometimes he likes to fuck you in camp for the sole fact that he has to tell you to be quiet
it gives him a MAJOR ego boost
that he HAS to tell you to be quiet
the fact that you can’t stop yourself, you can’t NOT make noise and its because of him?
Oh god
that makes him so proud and so horny
so he will have fun with you in camp from time to time
just because of that
that and because he’ll step out to smoke a cigarette and he’ll have the scratches from you on his back, or the bite marks on his shoulder, hell the Hickeys on his neck
he loves to show off what you do to him, what he MAKEs you do to him.
He loves you
and he loves to show off how much you like to claim him as yours
When he takes you into town
that’s when he lets you make all the noise you want
he doesn’t give a shit if the people at the hotel hear you
he loves to hear all those sounds too
they’re his favorite thing to hear
so the louder you are, the more noise you make the happier and hornier he is
he loves to fuck you in the bathtub too
like
he knows he’s not supposed to have you in there
but that’s part of why he likes it so much
the idea of getting caught by the staff with you in the water going on his dick
it just
excites him to no end
that and it makes clean up a lot easier afterwards
though of course after that he’s gonna make sure that you’re clean and then the two of you will go up to the hotel room he’s rented for the night and cuddle up together
he is a sweet man
really he is
he’s just really dirty minded
and in his defense
it’s your fault lmao
I would
LOVE to do more of the period cannon headcannons I love 1899 Arthur so much
like I love modern arthur too
but like
regular arthur holds my heart CLOSE to
This is probs the last request for the night, but NEVER fear! The others will be finished up tomorrow, ya’ll gonna get SNACKS
