"Hey Sea" Dutch greets as he walks towards his partner who is sitting alone away from the loud and rowdy camp

"Hey Dutch" he mumbles as he drops his hands into his lap

"Would you like to dance with me?..." he questions nervously as he puts his hand out

"Sure" Hosea smiles as he takes Dutch's hand and stands up

"When was the last time we danced together?" Dutch asks as he places his hand on the slightly shorter man's hip and pulls him closer so his body is against his

"I can't remember, it's been a pretty long time" he answers as Dutch twirls him around making him laugh

"We should do it more often" he suggests with a devilish grin before he dips his husband, scaring the life out of him

"I will never dance with you again if you do that to me without a warning, I'm scared that you're going to drop me" Hosea scolds as he digs his nails into Dutch's shoulder

"I would never drop you my love" he smirks before he does it again as Hosea holds onto him for dear life

"You are a bastard" he mutters as he slaps Dutch's arm lightly

"I love you" Dutch hums as he bumps his forehead against Hosea's

"I love you too" Hosea sighs as he moves a few stray strands of Dutch's hair behind his ear and closes the slim gap between them with a soft kiss on the lips.

"Does anyone else think what they have is kind of sweet? Just two old outlaw lovers" Mary-Beth asks the girls + Arthur who is trying to escape Sean's loudness as she leans her head on her hand watching the two older men be extremely affectionate towards each other

"They make me believe in soulmates, imagine being in love with the same person for that long, I think it's sweet" Tilly agrees as she closes her book and puts it down beside her

"They've been the same way for years, they've always been crazy in love with each other" Arthur adds as he picks at his pants

"I want someone that looks at me like that" Mary-Beth continues as he notices Dutch's nonstop smile

"Like the world's stopped spinning" Tilly sighs as she leans her head on her hand.


"Thank you for Letting me have this dance Mister Matthews" Dutch smiles before he places a kiss on the back of Hosea's hand

"I'm glad you asked me Mister van der Linde" He grins as he kisses his partner on the cheek making him blush

"You're welcome" he mumbles getting all shy as Hosea combs his fingers through the curls at the base of Dutch's neck

"Aw big tough Dutch van der Linde being all shy" Hosea laughs as he twirls his fingers in Dutch's hair

"I'm not being all shy or whatever you think I'm being" Dutch denies as he moves his arms around Hosea's waist

"I like when you're like this, it proves that you're still soft in my hands after all this time" he softly smiles before he lets out a sigh, leaning into Dutch's warmth

"Because I'm still so helplessly in love with you old girl" he purrs with a grin as he moves his hands up the grey-haired man's back

"Because I'm so irresistible" Hosea smirks before he kisses Dutch again, moving his thumb across the younger man's cheek

"I'm going to go read for a bit, care to join me?"  Dutch asks as he steps away

"Okay I'll join you, only for a little while" he answers knowing damn well that they won't end up doing much "reading"
