Charles has spent the majority of the last years alone. After running away from his home at the age of thirteen – an empty, broken home smelling of nothing more than alcohol and dust – he’s largely been able to get by alone. He’s joined up with the occasional caravan, stayed in a town once or twice long enough to be familiar with names, but those never lasted long enough. A few weeks, a month or two at most, and he’d be gone. He moves faster on his own, shoots quicker without distractions; he doesn’t need a shadow behind him, let alone twenty.

And yet.

— OR: —

Travelling on the mountains, Charles Smith hears two men being attacked by wolves and figures the least he can do is save their lives. They repay him by offering him a place in their gang.

When Arthur says, “You head on back to camp, check on the others,” he doesn’t expect Charles to hesitate, one hand reaching for Taima’s bridle, a dozen expressions crossing his face in quick succession.

“D’ya hear what I said, Charles?” Arthur’s turned to face Charles and they’re close enough that Charles can smell the rum and cigarettes on the other man’s breath. They’re close enough that their knees are touching and Charles feels like his entire world has narrowed to that single point of contact.

“‘Course I did, Arthur. You said I was large, like a bear.”

Arthur’s face falls in a comical way and Charles has to bite his cheek to keep from laughing at him.

“No, no, not jus– I didn’t mean it like that”, Arthur huffs and looks away from Charles. He seems to crestfallen over something, but Charles can’t work out what he could have missed.

Swallowing thickly, Charles lets go of the front of Arthur’s shirt, only to use that hand to gently turn his cheek so they’re face to face again. He leaves his fingers there, his thumb gently rubbing the stubble that’s grown in after a few days without shaving.

“Tell me what you meant then, Arthur.” Charles’ voice is soft, sultry in a way that he knows makes women and girls blush and giggle. He’s tried it on a few men in his time, but the results are nowhere near as consistent. He has no way of knowing how Arthur himself will react to it.
