"I'm so grateful you're mine."
(Some things do not match up with the canon timeline, such as Sean!)
First, Kieran would take you on a ride during sun rise, and would talk about how pretty your horse is the entire time. Though, once or twice he stutters and says you're pretty instead. It makes you laugh, especially when his face goes red and he apologizes, saying he didn't mean it.
Now, he did mean it. But he wouldn't admit it, even to you.
You know he loves horses, so you don't care too much when he goes off on a rant talking about them, a happy smile on his face the entire time. He occasionally looks at you, and his smile grows even more.
He is absolutely adorable like this, and you can feel your heart explode with how cute he is.
You stay out on the trails most the morning, but Kieran decides he doesn't want to go back to camp.
"Uhm..! Would you like to maybe ah, spend the day with me?" Kieran would get a shy expression in his face when you agree, and it would quickly turn into a smile. "Great!! I - I mean, nice.."
First the two of you decide to head into town, hitching your horses on the outskirts of town as the two of you walk the streets.
Kieran laughed a little when you mocked people and how they were walking, especially the rich looking fellows. He tried too, but couldn't because he found it too goofy, so he left it to you.
His knuckles keep brushing against yours, and you can tell he wants to hold your hand, but doesn't want to ask and doesn't want to grab your hand and make you feel uncomfortable. He glances over quickly when you grab onto his, intertwining your fingers. A soft smile appears on his face and he lightly squeezes your hand.
You walk around town for awhile, before the two of you begin getting suspicious looks, and you quickly realize you somewhat should've tried to look different, as you really did look like, "people who have been seen with the Dutch Van Der Linde".
Deciding to not try and stir up any trouble for yourselves or the gang, you quickly leave there, and Kieran looks a tad upset. "Sorry, didn't think bout the fact we look kinda suspicious."
You assure him that it's okay, and it isn't his fault, and he flashes a small smile before heaving himself up onto his horse, as the two of you head back.
Later in the afternoon, after sitting around camp for awhile and being teased by Sean and Karen about being lovebirds, Kieran hums a bit and hugs you a little.
"For not treatin' me like an O'driscoll like some of em' still do, ya know?"
Before he can plant a kiss on your lips, you hear an '"ahem!". The source? A smirking Sean with his arms crossed.
"Oh don't mind me ya love buggers." He snickered a little. "Go'on Kieran. Bet ya he wont huh y/n?"
Kieran goes a bit red and looks away, frowning a little. Great his first kiss with you is absolutely ruined. He hated that.
You shoot a small glare at Sean, who's smirk only grows as you grab Kieran's facr and plant a soft kiss to his lips.
The outlaw's face goes beet red and he pulls away, stuttering for a second before letting put a quick, " I didn't think you liked me."
"Now now. Why wouldn't I, huh? Cuz yer an O'driscoll?" The second you make that joke, you feel bad. Especially because of the flinch away from you and saddened expression from Kieran. He hates being called that, because really he hated doing that work. And now he feels like he's finally found a family that'll be accepting of him.
"Oh I'm sorry Kieran I-" you couldn't finish, as he was called over by Dutch. He flashed you a small smile, kissing your cheek before jogging over.
Around 5 or 10 minutes later he returns, preoccupied by checking the bullets in his gun while he walks. Once he reaches you, he sighed a little.
"I-I have to ah.. go do something.." he said softly, nodding and rubbing the back of his neck after putting his gun in its holster.
"Okay. Oh and Kieran! One more thing!" You grabbed his arm when he started walking away, pulling him into a kiss. Once pulling away from his rough lips, you grin. "I'm sorry. I'm so grateful yer mine. I love you, bye."
"Haha...Love you to-too." Kieran nodded and smiled determinedly back, giving you a quick kiss before going to his horse, hopping on and disappearing.
The next day, it's around afternoon. You're hanging out with Sean and Karen, snickering at Sean explaining how the two fucked in John's tent.
"AND- and he walked in and goes...AH FUCK MY COT IS SOAKIN' WET GOD DAMNIT JACK I TOLD YA AND TOLD YA NOT TO EAT IN HERE! and after a minute of arguin' he realizes what it is and goes.. SEAN YOU GODDAMNED BASTARD I'LL KILL YA." Sean laughed for a moment. "He never caught me though, an Irishman is too quick for the likes of him."
You laugh a little and are about to reply, but you hear a scream and a loud sob.
"IT'S KIERAN!!" sounds like Mary Beth.
You grin and get up, running over along with Sean and Karen, a but confused why the scream sounded the way it did, and why Mary Beth let out a sob.
But then you see why she made that scream. Why she let out that sob. And you watch as it rolls over and stops against your boot.
"Then you'll catch me crying."
