Hi~๐ŸŒป Can I request a Javier x Reader story? Got an overflow of ideas right now. ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜
Cold sweat on the forehead, goosebumps on the back of the neck. Hand pulls out the revolver and shoots the revolver out of Dutch's hand. Before he could shoot Molly. It's in my head that Reader, like everyone else, hung on Dutch's lips. but chapter by chapter their eyes opened. And Reader, too, sees the spectacle that Dutch is trying to keep up. Reader is then shown in seconds which side Javier is on. Just think, you start a friendship with Javier and maybe there are also feelings but then in the last chapters until the end you notice how he slips away. I'm really curious what you do with the idea. You can make what you want out of it. ๐Ÿ˜š๐Ÿ’– Thank you ~
No problem! Hope it's a good one!๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’–

The Coming War
You weren't blind to Dutch's motives anymore. The question is: will anyone else be brave enough to stand by your side?
Tumblr media
Your eyes were opened that day.
When Molly came back drunk, ranting and raving about exposing the gang to the Pinkertons (which would later be proven false), you were shocked. Things were tense right now, sure, but to go as far as murdering one of your own was a motive that you never thought you would see Dutch use.
He was going to shoot Molly.
It was like time slowed for you as the man you once trusted blindly was ready to kill someone he said he loved. You eyed his movements, sweat dripping down the back of your neck as goosebumps moved up your eyes, causing the hair to raise in fear. A decision would have to be made and fast. Your reflexes moved faster than you could think based on some innate reaction to save the life of another person. You pulled out your revolver and with a loud bang, you shot the gun out of Dutch's hand.
Arthur looked relieved, but Dutch looked furious. You returned the glare just as coldly, feeling uneasiness creep up your spine like a coming cold. This wasn't the man you knew, not anymore. But Dutch said nothing, just gripping his hand where his gun once was.
Bang!
But your good deed meant nothing. Grimshaw shot Molly anyway. She knew the rules.
After the whole depressing scene was over, everyone went back to their depressing ways. You were sitting on the edge of camp, contemplating your entire life from up until this point. You and everyone else trusted Dutch blindly, his words being pure hope and poetry for the whole gang.
But then Hosea died, many more people died. I guess the real Dutch was coming out.
"Nice shootin' back there Y/N." Javier's unmistakable voice sounded, and you turned to see him sitting next to you. However, he looked a bit unfazed. Not like you, who was rather shaken up.
"That's all you have to say? Molly just died." You couldn't help the anger in your voice. You always did feel pity for the woman who was clearly played by Dutch, just like you were starting to feel like.
But Javier looked taken aback.
"Sorry. But she knew the rules...I don't know what else to say." The man tried to defend himself, and you mumbled out an apology. Truth be, just as you were starting to wonder who Dutch was, you were also starting to wonder about Javier.
You've known him since you've joined the gang, and yeah, you guys were friends. Back then, it kind of was all fun and games until...well...until you started to develop feelings for him. Javier was too charming for you to ignore, but again, back then things were easier. Now, sides were having to be picked.
And you didn't know which side he wanted to be on. You saw him talking to Micah earlier...and it didn't make you feel good.
"I just...I need some time to myself." You said, rubbing your legs a bit in a nervous manner. Normally, you would feel a happy fuzzy feeling when Javier was around you.
But now you just felt disappointed.
Obviously, this wasn't the same man you fell in love with because he didn't even sound understanding. He just mumbled something in Spanish before getting up and leaving you, making your heart break more.
Perhaps he never really cared. Or maybe he just changed too much. A few days later was even worse.
A train robbery went way wrong, and Dutch proved once and for all that he wasn't the leader you all thought. He left John to die, as stated by the man himself when he returned. Not only that, but Arthur revealed that Micah was the snake all along. This was it. This was the time.
Sides needed to be picked.
You, Arthur, and John were on one side, you now clearly understanding how you were feeling. Micah, his associates, and Dutch were on the other. However, stragglers like Bill began to move towards their side.
Javier among them.
Everyone was pointing their guns at one another, but you couldn't bring yourself to point your revolver at him. You raised your gun in the air, unsure, and you noticed he was doing the same. Perhaps he was aloof this whole time, trying to act like things were normal during periods of high tension.
But he was still beside Micah and Dutch...so he picked a side.
Your eyes locked, and there was nothing but remorse. You should've said something about how you felt instead of putting it off, believing there would be a better time. But it was too late now. Things were too torn to ever be repaired.
But that didn't stop you from mumbling the words, them rolling off your tongue with only your ears to hear. Your heart wanted you to scream and shout, make them listen and to be a family again.
However, there was no coming back from this. It was only going to end bloody.
The men you knew were gone, and the gang had finally broken.
Your story afterwards is up to you.

No New Year's Day to celebrate No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away No first of spring No song to sing In fact here's just another ordinary day No April rain No flowers bloom No wedding Saturday within the month of June But what it is, is something true Made up of these three words that I must say to you I just called to say I love you I just called to say how much I care I just called to say I love you And I mean it from the bottom of my heart No summer's high No warm July No harvest moon to light one tender August night No autumn breeze No falling leaves Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies No Libra sun No Halloween No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring But what it is, though old so new To fill your heart like no three words could ever do I just called to say I love you
I'm thinking of this as Merlin missing Arthur and now I'm sad :)))))))))))))))))
I think its become a theme of my life now that whenever you give me a quote or song that reminds you of immortal merlin my brain decides to do a overly complicated backflip to make it apply to both immortal merlin and arthur waiting to return from avalon and i'm like. double sad. so thank you </3
