wild kidd !! || @sinkllr : Kidd lays his head on Quint's lap, eyes half lidded and tired as he gazes up at him. Above them the stars twinkled in the night, the scent of campfire smoke filling his senses as he guided the bounty hunter's hand to his chest, stroking a thumb along his tattered knuckles with a hum. "Do you ever think we'll settle down? have a life that isn't living under the stars, chasing outlaws?"
Absently Quint rested a hand upon the other’s chest as his head rested heavy upon his lap. Gazing out idly at the dips of the great plain. The tip top of tall pines and the moon peeking through at them. Almost instinctively fingers were wrapping around Kidd’s hand as he brought it close to his chest. Just close enough he could feel the faint beating of his lover’s heart. Something that gave the bounty hunter greater comfort than the other knew.
Blue hues dip down as the other speaks. An inquiry he had thought about OFTEN himself--- but had lacked the courage to bring up. What he would GIVE to find a life of peace with this man. To toss away the constant worry they currently lived with. They had too close calls in the past, nearly slipping through each others fingers. Teeth worried over his lower lip. Finally, with a nod, Quint spoke up, “I’ve thought about it.” More so then he admits.
“Putting bounties aside for awhile... Focusing on ourselves for a bit. Find somewhere to settle down some place nice. In a big house just for the two of us.” Quint brought the other’s hand up to his lips. Pressing gentle kisses along his knuckles. He’d give anything in the world for moments like these to last a life time and more. Shifting as he leaned down, he caught Kidd’s lips against his own briefly. Lingering there till he pulled away with a small smile. “I’d love to wake up in a bed beside you and see a roof over our head.”
It’s the least they deserved.
