gn reader. poly relationship later on, reader is just messing around with them here, might be not fully canon-compliant. argenthill is established.
wandering through the intricate cosmos, the knight of beauty and the cowboy met by mere chance.
they had several encounters, and exchanged ideals, words and opinions in brief conversations.
boothill was attracted to the singularity of the man.
it was unusual for the cowboy that someone would not avoid him just because he was a wanted criminal, and that he would go out of his way to praise every aspect of him.
argenti had never seen a cyborg so… beautiful. he was completely captivated by his body, every part of it and the complexity of it— it was simply spectacular.
and just as the two of them met and began a curious and unexpected relationship through these encounters, they found you during their many travels.
over and over again; you were always there, on some distant planet or star.
they knew nothing about you, beyond your voice, unique appearance and… curious ability to be everywhere at once.
it was both an ethereal and ominous feeling
why didn't boothill's bullets reach you?
why were you oblivious to argenti's voice?
you seemed to disappear in icy frost every time they tried to get close to you.
you were unconscious of how peculiar you were to both of them, and you played along with the little cat-and-mouse chase you had meticulously orchestrated. the company of these two was not bothersome, after all.
however; every symphony comes to an end and although aha's ballad danced along with you, you were exhausted after what seemed like months of empty haunting.
you were unaware then that this would be the prelude to a everlasting, gentle orchestra.
“good evening, gentlemen”
your voice was as cold as winter itself, and the hands positioned on his shoulders felt like a sharp sickle blade.
soon you would feel a gun and a spear kissing your cheeks, and a faint smile would appear on your lips.
you closed your eyes, forming crescents as you felt the spear separate with an agonized sigh.
“forgive me, i had no idea it was about you. it has never been my intention to appear hostile.”
his voice genuinely sounded distraught
in comparison to the cowboy, who was still pointing at you with a determined frown on his face.
argenti tried to convince him to greet you differently, but his words seemed to be silent to the cyborg.
you watched the interaction with amusement, grin gradually widening
“how could i trust someone who has only been giving us trouble all this time?”
you felt boothill's finger bury itself in the trigger of his gun
in a split second the shot echoed out, bullet stuck in a far wall while behind both of their backs you laughed.
you feared for a few seconds that the cyborg's action would cause you harm, but you trusted blindly in your abilities to get you out of that predicament.
you wanted to have fun with them, to prolong the interactions as a dramatic finale to a lively score. it never crossed your mind to hurt them in any way— you were as attracted to them as they were to you.
you covered your mouth with one of your hands, the cowboy's hat resting on your head as if that was its place.
although in your opinion that's where it should stay
it's not as if you didn't know the implications of that action.
“you…!” the cyborg looked dumbfounded, his companion equally surprised
“no need to resort to violence, 'hill. i've been merciful, greeting you properly, and now you want to scare me away?”
but you were a curious fool
even if they tried to get rid of you, you would continue to accompany them on their travels through the starry firmament.
argenti mentioned something about how charming it was the way you could evade them at will.
boothill seemed more annoyed by it than captivated.
and while you were listening to argenti's nice words, he kept aiming at you and making several attempts to remove the hat.
it wasn't until the knight of beauty approached his partner to give him a gentle kiss on his cheek that he stopped.
genuinely, he completely stopped
you burst out laughing at the sight of the puzzled face of the criminal, his eyes almost showing blue screens due to the suddenness of that action
you returned the hat to its owner as he remained frozen.
“if they had any intention of harming us, they would have done it by now, darling.”
you just wanted to get closer to them, that was all.
