Ahhh, the Young Gun himself…Billy the Kid from “Fate/Grand Order” is one of my more prominent crushes in the game. I haven’t actually written for this character yet, but I would very much like to.
While Billy is young and fairly small compared to some other Heroic Spirits known for their big appetites, he can chow down with the best of them. Given his rugged upbringing and generally shameless attitude, he isn’t especially picky with what he eats, and simple comforts can bring him a lot of pleasure. Billy is yet another character with a sort of dual-sided nature: he often behaves in a carefree, cocksure, spirited sort of manner. A sort of Wild West Peter Pan, if you will. However, underneath that youthful facade, there’s something darker and more dangerous under the surface; let’s not forget this IS Billy the Kid. Billy can be steely, ruthless, and downright cruel when he chooses to be, going from a smiling, spritely youth to a cold-blooded, ice-eyed killer in a heartbeat when the situation requires it. He’s suffered great pain, he’s caused just as much, and these have left him secretly jaded: he may LOOK young, but his mind is older.
…There are two references in that last bit, let’s see how many of you spot either of them…
ANYWAY…Billy I see as someone who doesn’t necessarily make a HABIT out of his belching…but between both his more childish side AND even his more adult side, giving him a REASON to burp isn’t difficult. For example: Billy and his Master are huddled around a campfire, eating bacon and beans (as stereotypical cowboys are wont to do) and maybe enjoying something bubbly to drink. Billy takes a sip of said drink and sighs, rubbing his full belly after a big meal…then, without any warning, just lets rip a wet, thick, downright manly belch, much louder and deeper than one would expect from his frame. He chuckles and remarks on how big or how smelly it was…then notices the way his Master is blushing. He blinks, tilting his head, confused at first…then smirks in a knowing, downright SULTRY way, maybe even licking his lips. It’s not too long till he has his Master pinned, and is letting out rolling thick burps right into their face, teasing them with all the gas brewing from his meal.
Billy is never one to START burping contests, but he’ll usually join in if one happens. If he loses, he’s the sort to bow out with seeming grace…but he’s probably a bit sore under the surface. He’s very teasing, at times flirtatious, with people he knows are into it kink-wise…and sometimes with people who aren’t, if he doesn’t like them or just enjoys riling them up. He’ll wink and click his fingers in a pistol-shooting motion…but instead of saying “Bang!” or clicking his tongue, he’ll let out a soft, low burp instead.
When Billy really gets into belching, he honestly thinks it’s just a lot of fun! He’ll laugh and joke about his gas blasts in-between teases and taunts. It makes him feel like he’s truly young, in a weird, silly way. As a result, he doesn’t show much shame when the belches come out in a casual situation. If he lets one go while just eating with other people, he doesn’t hold back, doesn’t excuse himself (unless someone orders him to), and just sort of giggles away about it.
Here’s a very silly thought for you: Billy treating a burping contest the way an outlaw treats an old-fashioned gun duel. Chew on that concept for a while. Billy will be fueling up in the meantime. ;)
