Sean looking after you headcanons
I wrote this for Dante @nastycowboys ❤️ I hope it makes you smile! But also for anyone else who’d enjoy being looked after by this soft boah, I hope you find comfort in it. (I apologise this is long all over the place, it’s half generic headcanons (he’d do this/that) and half more of a drabble story…) No warnings apply.
Sean isn’t the most observant member of the gang, but he isn’t stupid.
When he sees you sulking away from the rest of the gang, or even sat round the campfire at night with a glazed expression over your face, he knows something is wrong.
Sean will wonder whether one of the others has already talked to you (namely Arthur, Charles, Mary-Beth) but you seem so alone he can’t bare to see you like it, so heads over to sit next to you.
“Everythin’ alright?” He asks casually, not wanting to draw too much attention to the situation.
When you don’t reply he feels kinda sad, he’s very fond of you and hates seeing the people he loves feeling down or hurting.
“Hey,” he says, a little more gently this time, when you look up to meet his eye line he offers a smile, “You doing okay?”
When you respond with a weak smile and shrug he knows just what to do, “Stay here, I’ll be back”
And there’s something in his voice, it’s purpose, it’s hope…Your smile grows a little as you watch him stride with purpose across the camp.
You discover when he returns that he had some chocolate stashed which he is now going to share with you.
He also returns with drinks, whether it’s water, beer or something stronger, he doesn’t mind.
If you’re not drinking alcohol, he will put his own drink down so that he stays sober enough so he can be there for you.
If you want to talk, he’s a surprisingly good listener, if you’d rather have a distraction, he’s good at that too.
Will sing for you if you ask him and pull you up onto your feet so you can dance with him a manner that can only be described by the rest of the gang as, ‘silly’.
Sean will hand over his lucky rabbit’s foot for you to hold onto until you’re feeling better.
Then explains in detail where it’s from and what it means. (Turns out it was a gift from his father for his 8th birthday)
He goes kinda glassy eyed when he’s talking and you can tell how much he misses his family, when you take hold of his hand and gently squeeze, he’s brought back to reality and you can tell he appreciates the gesture.
He definitely makes you promise to look keep it close and look after it before he gives it to you.
He’ll make your bed up nice and comfy with extra blankets and one of his pillows so that you get a good night’s sleep.
If the others in camp are being too noisy and he’s worried you won’t sleep well, he’ll go out to shhh and scold them.
Which kinda shocks everyone considering how loud he is capable of being.
Sean will tuck you up in bed and make sure you’ve got a glass of water by you incase you wake in the night.
Gentle forehead kisses and stroking your hair as you drift off (if you’re happy for him too of course! He’d ask first)
In the morning he’s prepared a wonderful breakfast for you and the best cup of coffee you’ve tasted.
It’s sort of a surprise, but he tells you his old ma taught him how to cook at a young age.
But he doesn’t tell Pearson, because waving a gun or a bottle around is far more fun.
Sean will continue to look out for you over the coming days/weeks, if there’s anything you need, he’s your man. If it’s food/drinks, he’ll get it, or if you wanna just go shoot some shit he’s up for that too.
If rather than having some quiet time, you want to feel useful (but in more than around the camp chores kinda way) he’ll speak to Arthur or one of the others about bringing you along on a mission.
Whilst they might be a little dubious at first, they agree that putting your energy and mind into something else might be the best thing for you and make you more focused.
But if you want time away from the camp to mess around. He’s cool with that too.
If Dutch starts to give you grief for not ‘pulling your weight’ around camp, Sean will jump to your defence and ask to speak to Dutch in private, volunteering to do your chores for you until you feel better.
Overall, he’s pretty good at looking after others in a way you may not have expected at first, putting aside his own desires, to look after you and your needs.
He confesses to you that he’s enjoyed taking care of you, it’s a nice distraction for him too and has made him feel a little less homesick.
