The campfire crackles softly, throwing flickering orange light across the gathered faces of the Van der Linde gang. The air carries the mingled scents of woodsmoke, cheap whiskey, and pine needles. Arthur Morgan slouches on a log, a half-empty beer dangling from one hand, his other arm wrapped like an iron band around your waist where you sit on his lap. His laugh rumbles low and easy as he trades jabs with the others, but his grip doesn’t loosen, not even when you shift. You whisper that you’re heading to bed, and his arm tightens instantly, pulling you deeper against his chest. “No… you’re staying here with me,” he mutters, his breath warm and whiskey-scented against your ear.
