⋆౨ৎbilly comforts you when you're scared from a ghost story⋆౨ৎ fem reader x billy the kid

"You ever hear the one about the ghost bride?" Charlie asked, the ching of his knife against the rock in front of him sharpening both the blade and his words.

You looked up from where you'd been gazing into the dancing flames circled by stones. A few of the other Regulators raised eyebrows, but they paid him attention. Billy adjusted his arm around you, pulling you snug into his side.

When Charlie realized he had everyone's attention, he grinned, adjusting himself on the fallen log where he sat. "'s true, y'know. It all happened back east."

"What's the story?" Billy spoke up, his fingers absentmindedly stroking your arm. You leaned your head on his shoulder and he gave you a brief, but fond look, pressing his lips to your hair.

"Well," Charlie started, giving his knife another scratch against the rock. "There was a wealthy fella back in some big city. He had a wife, but he met a younger woman he fell head over heels for. So he got a divorce 'n married the new girl." You furrowed your brow, blinking interestedly. Of all the tales told around the fire at these things, you'd never heard this one.

Some of the other girls around the fire already looked terrified at whatever Charlie was about to say next. They huddled into their men like birds seeking shelter. You slid your hand across Billy's chest, rubbing him slightly, your body turning naturally into his. Another kiss was dropped to your head.

"The old wife..." Charlie continued. "...wasn't happy 'bout her former husband's decision. She got wind of where he'd taken his new wife- to a honeymoon town not too far down the coast. Lotsa newlyweds were stayin' there on their wedding nights." The fire cast flickering shadows across his face as he said the next part. "She didn't know which room they were stayin' in. And so just to make sure she got the right girl, she killed every woman in every room."

A gasp drew forth from your lips, as it did from several other mouths around the fire. Charlie chuckled as he took in every horrified expression directed at him. He shook his head once, casting his eyes back on his knife. "They say if you go 'round that town you can still hear the screams of every new husband wakin' up to their bride's bloody corpses."

That last bit caused a commotion of whispers, of stunned noises from both men and women. You frowned, body stiffening as the image planted itself in your head. Billy's hand came to yours on his chest, loosening your grip on his shirt and sliding his fingers into yours. "You okay, baby?"

"Uh huh," you mumbled, mind still half on Charlie's gruesome telling. Now your thoughts were full of ghost brides and bloody knives, swarming around you like a cloud of locusts.

Billy squeezed your hand, seeming to read your thoughts. "Why don't we get outta here, hm? 'S gettin' late."

Nodding hazily, you stood with him, saying half-hearted goodbyes to everybody present. He led you by the hand all the way back home- it was a short enough walk that you hadn't needed to take a horse.

You were tense for the whole walk, every crunch of a leaf, every fallen stick snapping under Billy's boot causing you to freeze up. Keeping a tight hold on Billy's hand, you kept a steady pace, looking over your shoulder every few minutes.

The door creaked open as Billy held it for you, keeping hold of your hand when you went in first. He lit a candle immediately, lifting the dish carefully and lighting the way to the bedroom. You didn't say a word, not wanting to pierce the silence with your silly fear. It was just a story. And yet the darkness of the earth amplified it, made you shiver in a way you wouldn't have if the sun was out.

You slipped your shoes off, letting go of Billy's hand to dress for bed. He settled into the routine of the night, hanging his hat on the hook by the door, leaving his boots beside your shoes and undressing. Your hands shook ever so slightly as you tugged on the buttons of your dress, sliding it over your head and deciding to just sleep in your thin chemise tonight.

Slipping into bed, covers thrown back, you lifted your feet quickly from the edge where shadows lurked beneath the frame. Billy had discarded his shirt, and now he was pulling you close and throwing the covers over the both of you. Tucking your head under his chin, he sheathed you in his arms, your safe spot.

It was quiet for a minute before Billy murmured, "Charlie oughtta be careful 'bout when he's tellin' stories like that."

"Yeah," you murmured, snuggling into his chest. Both your hands were situated there between you, chasing away the chill of the world outside.

Billy pressed his cheek to your head, nuzzling against you like a cat. "I've got you."

You didn't need to say anything- he'd read you the way priests read the Bible. He knew, he always knew. Whatever fear or hesitation you had, he was aware, and he drank it up, bearing it alongside you. Even if it was something as silly as a ghost story.

Pressing your lips to his chest, you breathed easy. "I've got you too."

⋆౨ৎyou tell ghost billy about town festivities⋆౨ৎ fem reader x ghost billy the kid

"Halloween's coming up."

Billy nodded, leaning against his headstone. While Halloween hadn't been a big deal back when he was alive, he'd watched the holiday swell into a cultural keystone over the decades. And you seemed to be as thrilled about it as he'd seen anybody.

You were sweeter than honey, the happiest of additions to his afterlife. Billy's luck had been bad in life, but it seemed death brought a surplus of good. The longer he'd been forced to haunt the earth, the better his reward would be. And you were the best one he could have ever dreamt up.

"What's everything like nowadays?" Billy asked casually, watching your expression turn to fireworks.

He couldn't help his smile as you fidgeted with your fingers excitedly. "There're parties in town, lots of them. I like to go to the ones on the west side of town. Better company."

"Like me?" Billy asked cheekily, and you giggled, that delightful sound.

"Like you," you confirmed, setting your hand atop his, a sweet smile on your lips. "I've got a costume and everything."

"What's your costume?" Billy asked, leaning his head on the tombstone. He could listen to you talk about near anything for hours, from the reason for the color of the sky to the shape of the earth.

Immediately he was happy he'd asked because of the way your eyes lit up. "I'm going as an angel."

He grinned. "Well that's just perfect, ain't it sweetheart?"

You laughed again, and he relished it, committing it to memory for later. Playing with your hands, you said, "I'll come and see you while I'm still in it. I want to see you that night anyways."

Billy frowned, shifting in his spot. "That late, darlin'?"

"It's not terribly dangerous," you said casually, twirling a strand of your hair. "I don't want you to be alone on Halloween night."

He could have protested, could have said he'd spent over a hundred Halloweens alone. But your expression was so earnest, so insistent that he merely smiles and nods. "Okay. Just be careful, sweet."

"I will," you smiled, and if he'd had a heart it would have swelled, maybe even beat double time.

king_contraryman and shoot_thescreens: @shoot_thescreens really began when I took this second pic of @mikeyway @mychemicalromance in 2022.  It was his relentless bro support that made me think I could be a good photographer and it was him and @beemer138 & @rogergastman that convinced me to go off brand from “the dude that shoots bands on his phone” to something more — Here now is me with an actual honest to goodness camera.  I will never stop being grateful for my friends and pushing myself creatively. See you in the (photo) pit. 🤘 @danbassini for the help :)

THANK YOU @mychemicalromance @gerardway @mikeyway @raytoro @frankieromustdie 🖤
