    Summary

    "I deserve it, don't I? After all them things I did, all the sins... I reckon I'm owed some of it back, ain't I?" he asked in a whisper so fragile even the cicadas would drown it out if any of them sang that night. 

    Charles' stormy expression melted into something softer, something sadder. He knelt in front of Arthur, Smith's big hands clasping over Morgan's.

    "No one deserves it, Arthur. No one has the right to hurt you." He said, quiet but confident. His brown eyes shone with unshed tears and Arthur felt a pang of shame knowing he was the cause of them. "I wish you'd see that you're worth kindness, Arthur. That you deserve good things."

    Arthur felt a pang behind his heart.

    "I haven't got the slightest idea what you see in me, Charles. I'm a no good criminal, I'm beyond savin'," he sighed, glancing down. Charles raised his head by the chin, staring into his eyes with pure determination. It was intoxicating.

    "No, you're not. I will repeat it to you everyday if I have to, Arthur Morgan. I can promise you that." Arthur felt Charles' breath on his skin, they were so close. "You're a good man."
