Things back at camp were too much right now, with everyone choosing sides and sticking with them with them, it was safe to say that things were falling apart fast. And to make things more chaotic, some of the gang had left during the night before. John didn’t blame them. If only they could all just turn their backs and leave, but with Dutch’s madness continuing to grow and climb, John knew that the very moment they would try, they would likely be shot dead by either Dutch himself or Micah.
The following night, everyone was fast asleep, but John, like many of the days after he came back from Sisika, was having trouble sleeping, a repeat of the many since his return. After tossing and turning, he just couldn’t bring himself to drift off to sleep. His eyes would close, but no matter how he laid, he found sleep impossible. Maybe it was everything that was going on finally taking a bigger mental toll on Marston, and he was already stressed enough with everyone else pointing fingers at him and accusing him of being a traitor, there was a sense of uneasiness that would linger around camp now. A place that he could once call home, now nothing but a nightmare full of distrust and delusions of a false promise for sanctuary.
Getting out of his tent, John changed out of his pajama’s and into his usual clothes, putting on his grey duster over his outfit since it was a little bit of a chilly night. After grabbing his Stalker Hat, John placed it on his head and took a look around. Everyone was sleeping, everyone except Arthur whom John saw sitting around the main campfire, he looked to be in deep thought, a feeling that was mutual with Marston as well.
Silently, John joined him around the campfire a greeting nod before taking a seat on the log next to the other. Whenever they were silent, it was always a comfortable silence as opposed to how their relationship previously had been. It was a shame that it had taken all of this mess to repair their strained relationship. But as bad as things were right now, John was still grateful that they were able to finally make amends at all. Except now, Arthur was on borrowed time because of his sickness.
He still remembered the day he told everyone about his TB. The thought of losing his older brother after reconnecting with him wounded him deeply, but John had to be strong, he couldn’t give into the sadness so easily. Before he speaks, John glances over at Itsuki who was sleeping peacefully in her tent that was next to Arthur’s. A sigh before he looks back at Arthur. Taking out a pack of premium cigarette’s, John offers the other one before lighting his with a match and proceeding to light Arthurs before shaking out the flame and tossing the blackened match on the ground.
[{ ☠ }] - “Havin’ trouble sleepin’ too huh?” He asks whilst taking a drag of his smoke.
Whenever that fateful day would come, John knew because of Arthur’s nature, that he’d be true to who he was, a man of few words when it came to displaying affection or concern of another. With that thought in mind, John decided he would say what he wanted to right now so he’d be able to do as promised to his brother. To run and don’t look back. without any regrets.
[{ ☠ }] - “T’think, after everythin’ we did for em, all those jobs we did. Don’t seem like they mean much now..”
Taking his smoke out of his mouth and pinching it between his two index fingers, he takes a deep breath, he gathered his words and plopping the smoke back in his mouth for another drag. He didn’t want to waste any time, tonight was the only peace that the brothers had seen through the past few days, so he wanted to use this chance to his advantage.
[{ ☠ }] - “Arthur.. you..” A pause, why was this so hard? He shook it off and pushed himself to bring out his thoughts.
[{ ☠ }] - “You’ve always had my back, even when we was on bad terms, ya still always came though for me.” A pause as he lets his thoughts ponder before continuing.
[{ ☠ }] - “Sadie told me, That it was you who stood up against Dutch when he decided t’leave me t’hang. Outta everyone else, you were the first t’go against him..”
Finishing his smoke, he chucks it to the ground and crushes it under his boot. One final deep breath and he prepares to express his thoughts to the other.
[{ ☠ }] - “Back in the earlier days, when we was still youngin’s. I pulled all those pranks on you because I wanted t’be like you. I always looked up t’you Arthur. An yer gonna say it’s a mistake, but. It ain’t a mistake t’me.”
Taking a few extra seconds to think back to his childhood, he continues.
[{ ☠ }] - “I never knew my folks much, never had a siblin’ cause my ma passed at birth... but after comin’ here, I finally got t’see how it felt t’have a brother..”
A few silent nods followed after. Taking one last look around camp, he confirmed everyone was still sleeping soundly. John wasn’t the best in showing his appreciation, especially for everything Arthur had done for him, how would one possibly thank someone for all the things he’d been doing for him? Since they were the only two awake, John wanted to take a moment to truly show how much he meant to him. A bit hesitantly at first, John slowly moved forward and gave Arthur a heartfelt brotherly hug, probably the only one he’d give, but since Arthur’s time was running out, now was the only chance he’d get to show his true appreciation for the man that saved him many times. His dear older brother who had been lookin out for him all this time. It would be hard to see him go, but fate couldn’t change what would eventually happen..
[{ ☠ }] - “Thank you Arthur, for everythin’ you’ve done for me, for my family. You’re the best brother a fool like me could ever ask for.. I’m gonna miss ya.” A follow up couple pats on Arthur’s back before he pulls away and fixes his hat straightening it.
John was slightly embarrassed for being so sentimental, but this was the only time he could do it so openly. He quickly cast his head downwards a bit to hide his face, this wasn’t like himself and John knew it. But he had to say it, this would probably be the only time he could as Arthur’s sickness would get worse everyday. So aside from being a bit embarrassed, he was glad he had the chance to spill it all out.
[{ ☠ }] - “You really are a good man Arthur, even if you can’t admit it yet...”
With that, John turned his back and walked off heading back to his tent. Now that he had said what he wanted, he had no regrets, he would be able to stay strong for Itsuki when Arthur’s time would come. And John would definitely have to be strong for when that time would come. He looks back over his shoulder at Arthur one last time before disappearing into his tent to again attempt sleep.

“Well well well, at last I get the privilege of meeting you. Arthur Morgan. I’ve heard lots about you. John’s said a lot about you too. And I agree with everything he says.”
“I’ve always been a big fan of Red Dead Redemption, so when I saw the trailer for the second game, man I was stoked. It was great to see John again, but I gotta say, you filled in the role of main protag perfectly. And everything you went through, every situation you were in, you kept your cool even in the most intense situations.”
“You were this cold hardened Outlaw who didn’t have many morals, only to become this man that’s wise, caring and always putting others before yourself. The moment you began your path to redemption, you had me cheering and hollering for ya the whole time. It was a whole new experience for me.”
“It takes a hell of a lot of courage to accept yourself for who you were after, and watching your journey, seeing you push yourself to help everyone despite your limits was probably one of the most amazing and incredibly inspiring things that stood out to me.”
“I want to personally thank you for taking care of John and the others, what you accomplished was no easy feat. Especially with your condition, you did you’re absolute best, and I commend you for such a great accomplishment. You probably get this a lot, but you truly are a good man, a gentle soul in disguise, and it shows for all you’ve done. It takes SO MUCH to accept your mistakes and try to correct them, you’re story was a truly motivating one, and it’s one I will always keep near and dear to my heart.”
The mun would pull out his hard copy of Red Dead Redemption 2 with a sharpie marker and holds them out to the Cowboy.
“Mister Morgan, I’d be honored if I could get your autograph on my copy of RDR2 :) “
“Pretty please with a cocaine gum on top?? :33″

Heya Rory, I hope you’re doing well. My friend, you were the very first Arthur to follow me and show interest in interacting with My Johnny boy, it may have seemed small, but I was so happy when ya followed back and even more excited when when we started our threads together. Even though we’ve only done a couple replies thus far, I already love our threads very much!
I’ve actually seen you around tumblr a few times before I created John. I checked out some of your threads, and you’re writing was the very first thing that blew me away first glance.
You describe each situation, expression and movement amazingly in great detail. John was my second muse who spoke in a western manner, but when you make Arthur speak, I hear his voice in full because you nailed his manner of speaking perfectly. That was def a bit of a challenge for me at first, but it was the way I saw you deliver that helped me get a better idea on western mannerisms. So I have you to thank for helping me get a much better idea on how to bring it out.
And another thing I HAVE to mention is your incredible passion for Arthur. I know it’s been hard to bring Arthur out lately and I do get it, muse comes and goes sometimes, I been there buddy. But I want you to know, that seeing your Arthur in action always inspires me to bring out more and more in John. All the passion and love you have for good ol’ Arthur really shine’s brighter than a star. You are truly a very excellent and inspiring writer.
It’s not often I meet many fellow Canadian rpers, but despite us only talking a few times for the moment, I’ve very much enjoyed them and look forward to many more chats and future rp’s with you.
Have a good evening eh? :p
