So quick note before you read, I had a lovely person message me about my Arthur Morgan idea so hereâs part one!
HighHonor!Arthur Morgan x LowHonorM! Reader Pt.1||
This is really long because I wanted it to build up so enjoy.
When Dutch asked Arthur to pick up one of his buddies to join the gang he didnât think anything of it. New additions sure, but he didnât want no trouble. Matter of fact, he never did.
You were looking for an easy loot in strawberry when you heard a gruff voice call your name.
âHey! You uhh- (Y/N)?â He asked.
âDepends. Why you wanna know?â
âListen I donât want no trouble, I just came for a (Y/N) (L/N). My friend Dutch wants to speak to him.â
âWell then, I guess you got yer guy. Me and Dutch are acquaintances. What exactly does he need me for?â
âDutch wants you to join our community, he-â
âTHERE HE IS! THAT'S THE GUY THAT LOOTED MY HORSES CARGOâ
Goddamnit. Always at the worst time too.
âOh fuck! Can we talk about this on our way there??â You ask while sprinting to your horseâs side, hopping onto the saddle.
Before he could answer, you let your horse bolt away while yelling back at him- âLead the way!â
âI think we lost em.â
âGood I donât like shootinâ les I have to.â
âHm. Whatever you say goody two shoes.â
âAnd what the hell is that supposed to mean??â
âYou donât like shootinâ folks but yer in a gangâŚ. Yer one of them high honor fuckers arenât you?â You ready yourself to snatch the pistol out of your holster but Arthur immediately puts his hands up in surrender.
âI already told ya once, I donât want no trouble. Lemme just take ya to Dutch and youâll see there ainât no ill intent.â
âFine but if you do so much as speak wrong Iâll fuckinâ shoot you with no hesitationâ
âI wonât say nuthinâ. Letâs go we ainât farâ
When Dutch introduced you to everyone, most of them seemed to be ok with you so you decided to stay. When you chose to have dinner, Arthur sat down next to you.
âWhat do you want?â You asked gruffly.
âI wanted to know if youâd go hunting with me tomorrow. The camp needs some extra food and not everyone is uhh- exactly fond of you yet. It would help them trust you.â
âWow Dutch actually planned on keepin me? Yeah I guess Iâll go with ya then.â
You woke up at about 9:30, it definitely wasnât the most comfortable sleep but it was better than sleeping away next to waterfalls to hide from bounty hunters. You got up and walked around camp to try and get used to your surroundings. You hear footsteps behind you and you turn to see Arthur with two cups of coffee in his hand.
He asks in a voice more gruffy than usual. âgood morninâ howâd ya sleep?â You took note that he probably just got up.
âBetter than a lot of nights actually but Iâm still getting used to this.â
âWell weâll head off at about 10:15 so drink this and then get readyâ Arthur said. He handed you your coffee and headed for his tent.
While getting ready to go hunting he couldnât help but think about you. He felt as if he should impress you and he didnât know why. Maybe later heâll take you to the saloon to get a drink.
As Arthur was slipping his boots on he heard heavy footsteps walking up to his tent when he looked up it was you. He looked back down quickly to put his boot on all the way. He could feel his face flush. Looking up at you it was- he was excited. He liked the way you looked at him. The way you looked down at him.
âYou ready or what?â You asked, knocking Arthur out of his thoughts.
âDamn you look lost. âI said are you readyâ but youâve been staring at yer fuckin boots for a good minute and a half.â
âSorry. Yeah Iâm ready. Letâs go.â
You both prepare what you need and hop on your horses. You bring a bow with around 15 arrows, a pistol, and a small hunting rifle. Arthur takes you to an area behind Horseshoe Overlooks campsite and gets off his horse.
âWe should continue on foot. The horses make quite a bit of noise.â
âAlright, letâs go then.â
Arthur turns around to get his gear off his horse for only about 30 seconds and by the time he turns back around youâre already gone in plain sight. Fuck. â(Y/N) for fucks sake where are youâ Arthur tries to loudly whisper.
âIâm right here dumbassâ
For someone so tall and broad you were particularly good at hiding.
âDamnit you scared meâ
âPay attention then jackassâ
Wow youâre fucking mean.
âI didnât even take my eye off you for a full minute and you disappeared!â
âWill you just get down! I already spotted two whitetail bucks but we need to hit them in a vital spot at the same time.â
Arthur crouches in the tall grass next to you. He can hear your breathing but itâs so slow. He looks at your face and all he can see is concentration. Holy shit youâre handsome.
âAlright, you ready?â You face Arthur and youâre a little surprised to see him already staring at you. You watch him look away quickly as he replies with a quiet âyesâ.
âOk you call and Iâll count. As soon as you get a good shot, tell me and Iâll count us down. Got it?â
Arthur whistles and the bucks raise their heads.
âAlright I got a good shot you?â
âYeah. Ready- 3âŚ2⌠1!â
Heading back to camp with a buck stowed on each horse felt like a big achievement to Arthur. You didnât seem to care as much as he did but you were happy to be able to have some food.
As you both set the bucks down to Pierson you heard Arthur clear his throat. You turned and before you could ask what he wanted he was already asking if you wanted to go to the saloon with him.
You quickly asked âIs it the Valentine saloon?â
âI have a bounty of $5 in Valentineâ You said, cringing at your own words.
âOh- well Iâll give you the money and we can go by the post office firstâ
âWell then letâs get goingâ
What the hell. Why is he doing this for you?
And thats part one guys. Iâll either be posting part two soon so please please stay patient for that! Hope you enjoyed, and the real stuff comes tomorrow >:)
