Arthur goes to meet the lads at the Valentine saloon. He sees Charles with his arm around a prostitute and is confused when he finds himself jealous. Not of Charles, of course, but of the woman. He tries to brush it off, but he keeps finding himself envying the women Charles shows attention to.

After a few months of trying to ignore the problem, Arthur finally takes action.

TL;DR: Arthur starts to get incredibly possessive of Charles after falling sweet on him, tries to nip the problem in the bud.

arthur morgan is an art student at a community college when he gets flashes of something, of the past and camps and outlaws and everything in between. he thought it was just a trick or his brain, but when he gets coffee one night he finds himself meeting someone he swears he’s met before

past lifes. memories from your past life and soulmates and all that mushy stuff. his professor did tell him to quote ‘get in touch with your feelings’. the idea of two souls reincarnating over and over again through lifetimes and generations, touching and reaching, only for something bigger than the both of them to split them apart. it sounds like torture, and it sounds like something cheesy and disgusting. the thought of it grosses him out.

  because love is finicky and strange and painful. he’s seen it fall apart when his ma died that made his pa turn sour and corrupt. attaching yourself to someone and putting all of your heart knowing that if they leave, you will be ruined and into shambles. that trust feels terrifying, and arthur doesn’t do that. he’s already done it with mary, it all capsized and turned into nothing.

This isn’t the first time Arthur has thought about this. For the past few months, no matter where he is, his thoughts keep going back to images of Charles. They started out innocently enough, Charles laughing with their friends or him being sweet on his horse. But more recently, these images have shifted from the mundane to more provocative visuals.

His mind snaps out of its haze when he hears rustling coming from some bushes nearby. Before he can move, Charles’ figure comes out from behind some trees.

+ + +

Arthur can’t seem to get Charles out of his head and decides to do something about it.
