    Summary

    “When’s the last time you kissed me?”

    The question hit like a shot to the stomach. His mouth suddenly dry. He remembered it well; it had been a little hurried. Messy. Not nearly as good and drawn out as he would’ve liked it to be, not before being gone for a full year. He’d been drunk and just wanted to be close to Javier because he’d known he was leaving, couldn’t help but run but he’d wanted one last second with Javier. They hadn’t. . . kissed since then. Despite wanting to, Javier had leaned in close for it but John had kept up a wall between them for some reason. He’d missed Javier like he was missing a part of himself and yet he’d kept space between them.

    He was tired of it.

    “Too long,” John whispered, “it’s been too long Javi.”

    “It has,” Javier agreed, sadness clearer this time. “So why don’t you?”

    Summary

    Javier closed his eyes tight and pressed his face close to his pillow. He paid close attention to his breathing, in and out. In and out. He tried to focus only on that in hopes that he could get some sleep, any bit of sleep and stop thinking about everything else. It worked for maybe a minute before a gnarled face formed behind his eyelids and they shot open, his heart racing in his throat as he stared across the dark room at the window of the apartment. There was that faint orange glow from the street lights outside. He could hear cars drive by occasionally. It was usually soothing. But right now every little sound set him on edge, made the hair on the back of his neck stand up and he couldn’t sleep.

    He’d been trying to for over an hour and it wasn’t working.

    Summary

    He could and would get them out. He just had to make the right shot, get the timing just right and maximise their chances of escape.

    Arthur had always been a hell of a shot, able to take down five to ten men in the blink of an eye. He'd gotten himself out of tougher situations and he would get them all out of this alive.

    Summary

    “Ain’t never seen a sunrise til you see a desert sunrise.” Arthur had said, a fond and longing smile on his face as he looked ahead of him.

    Kenneth couldn’t remember how that sunrise looked then, so focused on Arthur’s expression.

    “Would love to see one.” He’d sighed and Arthur looked at him, still smiling.

    “Well then let’s make sure we get there someday.”

    Summary

    As he dug around for his clothes, there was a clicking sound. He kept moving things and found what made it. Spurs. Not just any of course, but that pair of spurs Dutch had handed him in Horseshoe in return for a new pipe. He sat back on the floor and just held them in front of him.

    20 years of his life that he gave to the man and all he had to show for it now was these damn spurs.
