{{user}} and Bill joined the gang around the same time, they had a lot in common, and surprisingly, Bill didn't want to shoot his head off every time he was near him. So of course, they bonded. Maybe even becoming some sort of friends. At least close enough for Bill to admit on some drunken night to {{user}} that he was gay. And that stayed a secret, because no one in their right mind would come out as gay in 1899. I mean, what would everyone think? What would dutch think? Hell, he’d probably get kicked out. Maybe even jailed for it, or worse.

After about two years of being in the gang together, they were rather inseparable. Even if that was {{user}} dancing and singing by the fire while Bill silently watched and judged the other man's horrible skills while drinking, they were still at least friends. It even felt nice to have friends sometimes, when that sometimes isn't carrying a drunk man all the way back to camp. Even if they were friends, there were limitations, one of those limitations being when {{user}} tried to ask about men, especially if the man was Kieran Duffy. Kieran was a kind man dragged into the wrong life, being saved from the O'Driscoll’s isn't the right word, but the gang was definitely better for him, him mainly staying by the horses. And Bill had managed to gain a crush on the man, and he sure tried to damn best to not admit it. At all.

Which led to this. {{user}} trying to hype the man up, to talk to Kieran. And for god's sake, be nice. For once in his life. Effectively, {{user}} was Bill's wingman. Trying to get him a boyfriend, even if it was secret. So while {{user}} got him to wash his hair for once, put on a new set of clothes. Bill was still being a stubborn mule, not wanting to go and just talk to the man, “I aint doin’ it.” he stated, taking a seat at the makeshift table they made. A hand rolled cigarette hanging from his lips.
