food

John is...adequate at cooking. It's not usually burnt, but it isn't usually very good either. Despite what Arthur might think, he isn't much better. Though he can at least season food well...enough.

─── ꒰ঌ·✦·໒꒱ ───

Both think they’re better at hunting. They both have their strengths, so it just depends on the day.

Arthur is content with waiting and watching all day. Happy to be out in nature and listening to all the soft sounds that come with it; birds, leaves rustling, little critters skittering. Every step of his is calculated and near silent.

John is incredibly far-sighted, he can spot movement seemingly miles off (something that Arthur's been jealous of forever). John may be a little hasty in a firefight, but he hates how long hunting can take so he makes every shot count, only firing when he knows he’ll hit his target.

─── ꒰ঌ·✦·໒꒱ ───

Arthur may love that slight waist on John, but he's convinced he's underweight. Whenever they're both in camp he's always bringing him snacks: fruit, jerky, candy. John has a major sweet tooth and will never turn down hard candies. He likes to crunch them as soon as he can and it drives Arthur up the wall.

─── ꒰ঌ·✦·��꒱ ───

They share apples all the fucking time. Arthur will walk up with an apple while John's on guard duty, take a bite and pass it to him. They'll chat idly, or sometimes just enjoy the quiet and pass the apple back and forth, then toss the core towards the horses.

gifts

As silly as it is, they both like buying clothes for the other. Probably because they'll both wear their clothes until they're completely threadbare, so something new is a luxery.

Arthur's gifts are usually candy, some odd item he's found on his solo adventures, or a sketch (John treasures them, Arthur doesn't really get why).

Though it gets John a good bit of teasing, he likes picking wildflowers for Arthur. The way Arthur's face lit up the first time John gave him a bouquet was like a drug. John's tentatively taken Jack with him a few times. Jack tried to help him make a necklace, but John's hands were too big and clumsy.

sleeping arrangements

Arthur is a back sleeper, so he takes up most of the bed. Just means John has an excuse to snuggle up to him. He can sleep on his side, but it seems like John likes to using him a pillow more.

─── ꒰ঌ·✦·໒꒱ ───

Arthur can sleep anywhere at any time. Hat goes over his eyes, he's out. On the off chance there's a slow day in camp Arthur likes to nap. Though he hardly ever naps in his tent. Usually far enough outside of camp that he's alone, but close enough he can hear if he's called.

When it's a nap day John will find him and nap on him. He likes to tuck himself right up next to him, head on his chest or lap. Unfortunately John is a drooler.

─── ꒰ঌ·✦·໒꒱ ───

Once they've gone public they get a new tent to share, but they hardly ever do anything in it. Arthur doesn't even like closing the flaps. "What if folk think we're sleeping together?" "We are sleeping together."

John's too loud besides.

♡ romance ♡

pet names

Arthur uses pet names like he’s forgotten John’s name. Darlin’ is both their favorite to use, but Arthur’s been know to call John sweetheart, dear, love, baby, honey, and much to John’s distain doll.

John loves being called sweet names, but usually just calls Arthur by his name or darlin’. When he wants to get his way on something he might give a raspy purr of baby or sweetheart.

declarations

They’re both a little weird with outwardly saying “I love you.” They say it more in soft touches and glances. Nudging the others knee with their own at the campfire. Resting a hand on the others shoulder. Tidying the others hair or clothes.

Arthur likes touching John’s face. Gently brushing his knuckles down his cheek. Touching his jaw or chin to guide him to look at him. Arthur craves eye contact. John doesn’t mind it. Sometimes the clear adoration is a little too much for him. He hates that it makes him blush.

John likes little touches. Just a light touch to Arthur's back or shoulder or arm. Letting him know he's close by.

Sometimes they'll say a quiet I love you with their goodnight kiss.

favorite part of the other's body

No. It's not what you think. Shame on you. (jk u just like me frfr)

Other than John's scars, Arthur loves his back dimples and the way his thumbs seem to fit perfectly in them. He can’t get enough of that scowl that usually sets on John’s face and his big puppy eyes.

In the winter it would be Arthur’s crows-feet. The way a real smile touches Arthur’s eyes makes John swoon. In the summer it would be the sun freckles on Arthur’s shoulders. All seasons: he's obsessed with Arthur's soft tummy and his perfect titties.

kisses?

The second they’re alone they’re sucking face alright?

Arthur loves kissing John’s hands, his knuckles, his wrists. He can’t go a day without kissing the scars on his face.

If John could be attached to Arthur’s neck he would. Especially the spot right below his ear, he loves the little shudders and sighs kissing and sucking there elicit from Arthur.

─── ꒰ঌ·✦·໒꒱ ───

Much like everything else, Arthur likes to go slower and let their kiss deepen as they go. Starting with little pecks and soft murmurs, letting the heat rise gradually.

John wants to crawl down Arthur’s throat tongue first. Usually a couple tugs on his hair can rein him in.

─── ꒰ঌ·✦·໒꒱ ───

Goodnight and morning kisses are a must. They'll hold the other down until they get their damn kiss. Sometimes wrestling matches ensue. Sometimes those lead to a little more than wrestling.

─ 18+ explicit content ahead 18+ ─

♡ the smutty stuff you're here for ♡

who initiates?

Arthur never gets the chance as John can't keep his hands to himself.

Most times John isn't very subtle with it either. If they're spooning in bed, John will push his ass against Arthur's lap. He is not above outright grabbing Arthur's dick as a "hint."

They don't usually fuck in camp (as John can't keep quiet), but near every time they do it's because John takes their goodnight kiss too far.

sensitive spots

John’s is his neck. No one is allowed to touch it except Arthur and Arthur doesn't use the privilege often, but when he does it sends shivers through John every time. His thighs are the another easy spot to get him going. A squeeze to his inner thigh with one of Arthur’s broad hands is enough to get him to melt. Feeling Arthur's beard against his inner thigh? He's done. u//w//u He loves his hair being played with, too. Which Arthur usually finds himself doing subconsciously whenever they’re…finished~

Even with a gun to his head, Arthur would never admit that his chest is really sensitive. He loves John squeezing and groping his chest. He’ll let John rub, tweak, and pinch his nipples, but draws a line at biting and sucking (it embarrasses him too much to admit he fucking loves it).

self-love? u//w//u

John “horndog” Marston doesn’t jack off as much since he has Arthur to do that for him, but he will whenever Arthur’s been gone for a few days. He’ll dig through Arthur’s clothes and either put on one of his shirts or union suits or he’ll just hold whatever article to his face and touch himself.

Arthur just…doesn’t. He hasn’t since his teens. It feels fine in the moment, but the mix of shame and guilt whenever he’s done doesn’t outweigh the pleasure. John’s tried to assure him it’s fine, and he’d even like it if Arthur would think of him and touch himself. Arthur did once or twice, but still felt dirty afterwards. He’s gotten into the bad habit of lying whenever John asks if he got himself off thinking of him while he was out.

favorite position

Arthur is a sucker for missionary. He likes having more control over pacing and he loves watching John writhe on his back. Spooning is another favorite. He loves being able to hold John really close. John likes it best when he pants filthy things in his ear.

John loves cowgirl cowboy. It lets them take turns on who’s doing the work and he has an excuse for groping Arthur’s tits. Being the dog he is, John also loves being on his knees. As it usually means they're going to get a little rough.

favorite sexual act

John loves blowjobs: giving them, receiving them (prefers giving). He loves giving Arthur a break, a little time that's just for him. Would 100% wake Arthur up every morning with a blowjob if he’d let him.

Arthur’s guilty pleasure is frotting. Something about it feels really intimate to him. He loves guiding John’s hand around them. He loves when John comes first and he keeps their pace going, hands now slick with spend, shushing John as he keeps getting more and more overstimulated.

Field report

The over-eagerness that always comes with the first day of deer season landed me in my tree stand at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday. giving me plenty of time to wonder if dawn was ever going to break.

But break it did, an inch at a time beneath a heavy sky. At first light, a small doe showed up to munch the acorns that have been falling - plopety, plop, plop - in such profusion that the scrambling squirrels hardly know which way to turn.

Two more does drifted in, then another group of eight, moms with kids in tow, joined the spontaneous acorn party just 20 yards from my stand. A good time was had by all, including this silent observer.

I couldn't start the chainsaw At work today. Don’t want to ask for a stupid baby electric chainsaw that runs out of battery in 24 minutes and gets stuck in a small tree because who would not be able to get it out of the small tree with my weakling strength? me

ya think Were!John goes hunting for Brian like how a cat would hunt and bring home their kill as a present?

fortunately, he only does this when they’re at Granite Falls for the ~yearly trip~ to satisfy that wild side of his. he sees it as a “hi yes, I am a good hunter and provider of foods to feed my mate with :)” and meanwhile Brian’s like “honey, I appreciate you but omg this is a lot of meat”
