Arthur loved you more than anything. Truly. He would gladly set himself on fire just to keep you warm, and he would happily wade through alligator-ridden waters to see just a glimpse of your smile on the other side. The man would do anything for you to make you smile and to ensure your safety and health.

But sometimes, he wasn't the best at realising when he did something wrong. He was a busy man and his mind was often just running on overdrive with very little thought before speech. He could easily let something a bit harsh out or unintentionally let a secret slip by mistake. Or maybe he'd make the mistake of forgetting something like a kiss goodbye or not buying something he was meant to.

And upon returning to camp and seeing you continue your ignorance of his presence or any attempts to talk to you and ask what was wrong, he knew he'd done something. But he just couldn't remember which for the life of him. He even resorted to asking John if he'd done anything noticeably bad to which John just shrugged and told him to keep trying - helpful.

So, that evening, when the camp had retreated to sleep the night through, Arthur made his way to his and your shared tent, finding you on the camp bed with a book in your hands, narrowing your eyes as he entered as if to emphasise your concentration on the words. Right.

Arthur took a deep breath before soon finding himself lying there with his chin propped up on your stomach whilst his thumbs rubbed your hips as if to coax out the reason for your current dismissal of him, mumbling the occasional soft "Please, love" or "'M sorry, darlin', just tell me what I did wrong and I'll make it up to you".

And you were doing a good job at ignoring him. Initially. That was until you made the fateful mistake of meeting his eyes and god, did he know what he was doing. Damn this man and those big blue puppy dog eyes with which he gazed up at you, all full of adoration and some form of confusion over his mistake, playing the innocent card. And he knew he had you then. He knew you'd cave soon enough.
