Our Handshake (Arthur Morgan X Reader)

X: We have to go

((Hey, I know I haven't written him in much but I'm gonna start putting John in the story a little more from here on out. I have a bit of an idea of what I want him to do but I'm not sure if it'll work out. Let me know what you guys think. Also I noticed that I can start putting more people from the game in here finally!))

Blackwater

1899

(Third Person POV)

Y/N lay on her cot still asleep after being moved to make her a bit more comfortable when she did wake up. Everyone was outside discussing what they should do. "We need to get the hell out of here, before them O'Driscoll boys come back." Someone said with a thick Irish accent. This someone was Sean MacGuire. Sean was taken in by Dutch after he tried to steal his pocket watch. "And where in the hell would you like us to go, boy?" A man with a thick black beard asked. This was Bill. Bill was in the army but was dishonorably discharged for his deviancy as well as attempted murder. He, like Sean, also tried to rob Dutch who simply laughed at him. Dutch took him in as well. Micha joins into the conversation, "Before we go anywhere we need money." he said with an evil smirk. "What are you suggesting?" Dutch said. "There is a ferry in town carrying a lot of money." Dutch thinking desperately, not only of the gangs lack of money, but of the loss of his wife and his daughter who lays unconscious from her injuries in her tent. They needed to get as far away from Blackwater and the O'Dricolls as soon as possible for their safety. "Alright. We are going to rob this train. Arthur, you gone on a head and look for somewhere for us to stay. Hosea, you go with him just in case something happens. Everyone else, start packing your things now. We do this tonight." Dutch said making the plan for everyone else, while he was trying to think of a plan to rob the ferry. Him in Micha would come up with the that plan on their own while everyone else was packing their things. They would bring everyone involved with the heist up to speed when they were on the way there.

After Arthur had gotten all of his things ready and packed, he went over to Y/N's tent to see her before he started packing up her things too. He sat down on the side of her cot on a stool nearby. "Y/N I know you probably can't hear me but I wanted to tell you that we're all waiting for you to wake up. I'm waiting for you to wake up. You need to wake up. There are some important things that I need to tell you." He said while he took her hand. "I'm sorry I have been so distant toward you while I was with Mary and after. I didn't know what to do. I am a broken man. With you I want to be open I want to be like we were when we were kids. Before I was with Mary. There is something that happened when Mary and I were on our first break. Something else that may be important and is part of the reason why I have been so distant. I know that you may not want to talk to me about all of that when you wake up. You are going to need a lot of time to adjust to everything. We are going to be in a new place and without your mother. I know you and her were very close. That would take anyone in your position a long time to recover from. But no matter what, I'm not going anywhere and I'm going to be right here with you, to help with anything you'll that me help with. I know you're not a kid and you're not going to help you with anything. But no matter how hard you push I'm staying." Arthur said these words and squeezed her hand. Promising her that this was true even though she couldn't hear him. Arthur sat there, still holding her hand for a few more minutes before he stood up and started to gather her things put them in her trunk. He brought it all to the wagon by himself. Finally, Ms. Grimshaw saw that the only thing left of Y/N's campsite was Y/N laying on her cot. "John, go over there and help Arthur move Y/N to the wagon. Both of you boys be careful! " They both look at her and say "Yes ma'am." Doing as she asked. Everything was done and put into a wagon and on the horses. Arthur made sure to have Moo, Y/Ns horse, tied to the wagon she was in, and they were off. Off to find a new place while the rest of the rest of the men in the gang went off to the ferry. Little did any of them know of the big storm that was headed their way.
