Red Dead Redemption 2 (Arthur Morgan x Female!Reader)

Blood Feuds, Ancient and Modern

A few weeks later…

"Alright...I think I did okay." (Y/n) said as she runs her fingers through Arthur’s hair, after having to cut it for him. "Well, you hadn't cut my ear off...so, I guess we're good." Arthur teased and (y/n), playfully, shoves his shoulder. "Shut up." She said and Arthur chuckles then he leans his head back to look at her, as she stands behind him.

She gives him a small smile then leans down and gives him a quick kiss then she stands up. "You know...I have to tell you something." Arthur said and she gives him a look. "Okay..." she said. "I just wanted to say thank you. For saving me...and taking care me. I-I appreciate it." He said. "Of course." (Y/n) said then she gives him a quick kiss again. "Someone had to take care of your grumpy ass." She said and Arthur snorts a laugh at this.

At that moment, Swanson comes up. "I thought I’d be burying you, Mr. Morgan." He said as he walks up to the two. "Not quite yet, Reverend." Arthur said. "Good. How you feeling?" Swanson asked him and Arthur moves his shoulder that was shot but now was healed. "Oh…about the same as you." he said. "I’m sorry to hear that. Well…take care of yourself." Swanson said. "You too." Arthur said and Swanson turns to (y/n).

"Miss (l/n)." He said.

"Reverend." She said, nodding, and Swanson walks away.

"In all honesty, I was afraid you wouldn't make it either." (Y/n) said and Arthur turns to her. "Really?" He asked and she nodded. "I didn't show it but...I was terrified, Arthur. That gunshot wound on your shoulder didn't help especially when Grimshaw and I were able to get a good look at it. I was so scared..." (Y/n) said and Arthur places a hand on her cheek.

"Hey, I ain't going anywhere." He whispers and she gives a small smile to him before she turns he read and kissed the palm of his hand. The two share a look before he leans in and kisses her for a few moments. Then they break the kiss and Arthur gives a soft smile to her and she returns the smile.

"Well, I've gotta go. Charles and I are gonna go out hunting." (Y/n) said and Arthur nods. "Alright, be careful." He said. "I feel I should be saying that to you." (Y/n) teases and he chuckles before he gives her a quick kiss on the lips. Then (y/n) walks away and towards Charles.

Arthur starts to go into the camp and looks around for anything to do. He finally decided on getting hay to the horses when he noticed Annebeth was just sitting on the ground with a stick in her hand. "Hey, Annebeth." Arthur said and the little girl looks up at him. "Hey, Arthur." She greets.

"Whatcha doing?" He asked her as he goes to kneel down to her. She shrugs and mumbles. "Playing." She uses the stick like a pencil and drew randomly in the dirt. "Playing? Well, where’s Jack?" Arthur asked her. "Uncle Hosea and Aunt Abigail are teaching him how to read." She replied. 

"Well, how come you ain't with them?" Arthur asked her. "Oh, I already know how to read. Momma taught me." She replied. "Is that so?" Arthur asked with a smirk and Annebeth nods, enthusiastically. "Well, then no wonder you're so smart!" He compliments and Annebeth giggles.

"Hey, if you want...I was just about to go feed the horses, you wanna help me?" He asked her and her eyes sparkle at this. "Really?" She asked. "Sure." said Arthur and Annebeth smiles as she stands up. "Okay!" She said, excitedly, and Arthur stands up.

Then they start to walk towards the bale of hay when Arthur looks down at Annebeth. "So, I've been meaning to ask you, how do you like it here?" Arthur asked her. "It's nice. I really like the water." Annebeth said. "Oh, you swim?" He asked her. "A little." Annebeth replied then she made a face like she was trying to think of something. "I..I remember Papa teaching me..." she said and Arthur looks down at her.
