#its like. 5 hours until boothills release can u tell

yknow we always only see boothill performing stunts/acting careless/being brash but what about a soft boothill. what about a boothill where he is afraid of the chaos he brings. what about a boothill in a playground holding a mother's baby after she had to take an important phone call, choosing the cowboy as the safest person who would be able to watch over her little kid. what about cold, hard metallic fingers wrapping around a tiny baby's wrist as the baby coos and reaches out for him, a scene oh so familiar to him. The cold metal shines in the golden afternoon light and the wires beneath his shell of a body can only think of danger, danger, danger, his system knowing just how easily he could crush the fragile bones of the child if he was too careless, too brutal, too rash
the child coos at him, and he can only pull his hand away, joints shaking and creaking, before he tugs the baby up into his chest, cold metal plates meeting soft skin, if only to make sure he can feel the baby's heart echo inside his hollow body with every beat. alive, unharmed, untainted by the violence that fuels boothill better than his own blood
#caw rambles#boothill#boothill hsr#seriously. im insane about him#the way he lost everything#even his own body#forced to live a life on the run full of violence and death#and when faced with the domesticity of a normal life#he is clueless#he had not learned how to be gentle yet when it had all been taken away#his hands grasp too hard#the baby cries#berates him for the pain#and boothill dies a little inside#knowing he wasn't built with the idea of gentleness#of normalcy#and he hands the baby back to the mother wordlessly#knowing it was the last time he would allow himself to hold#such a fragile life between his metal fingers#HI IM GOING INSANE???#its like. 5 hours until boothills release can u tell#sickening.#rambling#writing#?#bad writing
