Fics like Prairie My Heart

“I’m no good,” John says, voice cracking. “Why d’you even…” The words for what they are stick. Once something is real it’s easier to lose. Arthur pulls John’s face back around, shifting his grip to one side of his jaw and raising the other to mirror it, tilting him firmly towards Arthur’s soft blue eyes. “Y’mean why do I love you?” He says it almost angry. John remembers Arthur’s lips in his hair while he lay in that cot in the mountains, wrapped in bandages and half-insane with fever. “Love you,” they’d mouthed against his skull, through unwashed hair and flecked by blood when pulled away. “Love you John Marston, you stupid bastard.” Now, he shudders apart like a fresh-shot hare. And then he nods, small. ------ A gift for my new friend cokobi, who gave me the prompt for this fic: an insecure John receiving reassurance from Arthur, after some jealousy regarding Charles. (Note that there's no Charles bashing here, because in this house we love Charles.)
