"Camping?" You asked him, kind of doubt full and confused. He began to anxiously rub the back of his neck and looked at the floor.
"Well I mean yeah, if you want. Just an offer you don't have to." Blown away by his awkwardness and pure embarrassment, you decided now would be a good time to spend time with your best friend.
"Where exactly would we be camping? The mountains?" You let out a chuckle and joyous smile. Arthur looked at you and smiled, seeming to loosen up a little then sat next to you.
"No, never. Maybe along the river, or just anywhere. I don't know." He seemed defeated by his offer, so you put and hand on his leg to reasure him. He looked up at your quickly to see a smile on your face.
"I would love to go camping with you Arthur Morgan." This made his face light up and he put his hand on top of yours, which was still rested on his leg.
"Good, we'll leave in the mornin'." Nodding and then standing you, you two headed to your horses and went back to camp. You couldn't stop thinking about the interaction between you and him. He was so...anti-social, and as soon as you showed him some affection he immediately melted into good old Arthur again. Lost in your thoughts, you quickly feel asleep in your tent.
The next morning
"Good morning y/n." Dutch said loud enough to wake you up. "I hear your going camping with big ol' Arthur." He chuckled at the statement he just made, looking for approval and a reaction that he knew already.
"Yes, I am. How did you know?" You squinted your eyes and they gained focus from the sun that was coming through the tent flaps where Dutch had them open.
"Arthur told me, he was packing up Bourbon Boy. How long will ya'll be gone." He raised a brow, not knowing it wasn't supposed to be a 'public announcement'.
"I have no idea, pa." You stood up from your bed and put on your hat, then packed a bag to put on the back of your horse. When you where done, you asked Arthur what Dutch asked you.
"How long we going to be gone for?"
"I don't know, until we wanna come back." Arthur smirks a little, still fiddling with his girth on the saddle.
"What if thats never?" You say with a chuckle which makes him laugh as well.
"Probably just a day or two, maybe more, maybe less." The thought of him saying maybe less made you frown a little, you made up your mind about him, any time you could spend with him you where going to make last as long as you could. Arthur noticed and saw right through to your heart.
"It'll most likely be two days though." He said trying to reassure you secretly. You smiled and mounted your horse, and so did Arthur.
