Summary
If he was being honest with himself, which he usually tried to be, than he was perhaps treating this feller with a bit more kindness than usual because he was attractive. Charles wasn't stupid enough to act on it. It was just as he'd thought earlier — they were strangers, they knew nothing of each other, and the world was a dangerous place. But he also wasn't one to turn away from a nice view just because it was tempting. Especially when said view was only temporary. It was best to enjoy these things while he still could. He could handle the temptation just fine, even if this feller was handsome and good to his horses and had a charming drawl that twanged against Charles' heartstrings.
A retelling of the events of RDR2 from Charles Smith's point-of-view. Heavy on the soft cowboys and introspection. Currently in Clemon's Point.

Summary
Arthur watched Ennis and Old Boy disappear into the night with their riders in tow. They headed in opposite directions, intent on keeping away from camp a bit longer before they returned to Horseshoe Overlook. 'We should all go it alone right now,' he had said, but he could feel Charles’ stare on him and, when he turned Galahad off the road, he heard Taima following.
He didn't think he was being too presumptuous, and he only had to wait until they broke the treeline for Charles to prove him right. The other man said one word, “Arthur,” and it was all the prompting he needed to pull Galahad to a stop and drop from his saddle.
Instantly, Charles was at his chest, pushing him back, back, and into the trunk of a tree. The horses snorted their offense at their riders’ antics but Arthur barely registered the sound. Charles’ knee was already nudging his thighs apart, his grip on Arthur’s shirt pressing the collar hard against his neck and leaving him gasping.
Charles and Arthur take a little time for themselves following the Pouring-Forth-Oil train robbery.
