Summary
His eyes locked onto a particularly bright swath of stars, and he let curiosity chip away at his usual stern nature. "Which one's the, uh… Big Dipper or whatever?" he asked, clearing his throat as though the question tasted strange in his mouth. The words came out slightly strained, as if shy about being said out loud.
Jack turned his head, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. The glow from the campfire picked up flecks of mischief in his eyes. "The Big Dipper?" he echoed with exaggerated disbelief. "Now you're just makin' up shit, Ennis."
"I ain't makin' up shit," Ennis grumbled defensively. "Unlike your sorry ass, always goin' on about your rodeos and whatnot." He lifted his hand and jabbed a rough finger at a random cluster of stars. Truth be told, he couldn't be certain which group of lights belonged to which constellation, hell, he only recalled bits and pieces from old stories, "It's that one, ain't it?"
"Dumb as a box of rocks, you," Jack managed through fits of laughter, shoulders shaking as he tried to catch his breath. "Don't you know nothin'?" The words might have stung if not for the way Jack's eyes crinkled at the corners, genuine warmth shining through.
