“does she like Christmas or something?” Faraday asked as you ran out into the snow.

“like it?” Goodnight laughed, “she freaking loves it.”

“is that so?” Faraday grinned.

“do you like Christmas?” Goodnight asked.

“i do now.”

“how do i look?” you asked, fixing your hair one last time.

Faraday made a face at you. “do you really need my opinion?” he asked. you nodded. “Y/N, you are the most beautiful woman i have ever seen. you’re probably the most beautiful woman i ever will see and its a shame you dont see yourself the way i do.”

“we could be a team. you can pretend to be all over me like you were in there, get men distracted-”

“who said i was pretending.” you grinned, continuing to walk away from him.

“that was real?” he asked, “you, all over me like that?”

“its up to you cowboy.”

you were chasing the kids around. it was obvious you werent running as fast as you could, otherwise the game would have ended a while ago. but you kept the children with smiles on their faces, laughing as you pretended not be fast enough to catch the kids half your size.

Faraday watched near the stables, smiling every once and a while to himself when you did something to make the kids laugh.

“she’s a remarkable woman.” Sam’s voice interrupted his thoughts, “gonna make a man very happy some day.” Sam paused, “if you want to be that man i’d suggest going over there and showing her you share a common interest.”

“first off she’s not just going to swoon over you, Y/N’s not like that.” Goody stated.

“agreed.” Billy stated, “your flirtations will not work on her.”

“what flowers does she like?” Faraday asked.

Goody and Billy both started laughing, “you think you can just pick some flowers in a field and she’ll jump in your arms? you dont know Y/N do you?”

“i keep trying to get her attention but she never gives it to me.” Faraday whined.

“thats because you flirt with anything with a skirt.” Vasquez answered absentmindedly.

“i do not.” Vasquez rolled his eyes and Faraday sighed, “i suppose you’re right. well i have more tricks up my sleeve, just wait.”

“are you… flirting with me?” Faraday asked.

“is that shocking?” you laughed.

“usually gorgeous women dont like it when i make a move on them.” Faraday answered, “and gorgeous doesnt even come close to describing you so sorry if im confused.”

the thunk of a bottle hitting wood made Faraday open his eyes to look at you. you grinned at the cowboy, “dont get beat by girls often do you?” you laughed.

“i dont get beat period.” Faraday said in astonishment, “little lady, i think im in love with you.”

Faraday grinned at you, “if Sam had told me i’d be meeting a lady as pretty as you i wouldent have taken my time getting here.”

by the silent response he looked at the two men you were with, Billy looked bored but Goodnight smiled slightly, “you’re a funny one.”

Faraday had not been being funny. but this made him realize something. if he was going to have any hope at getting near you, he’d have to make your two protectors warm up to him.

his hands settled on your waist and you felt his ~~hella strong~~ chest against your back, his breath fanned over your neck, he caught you turning slightly to get a look at him and his grip on your waist tightened, “eyes on the target.”

he steadied your arm with one hand, “now, pull the trigger.” he stated.

the dummies head erupted in a poof of hay and you screamed with joy, turning to throw your arms around Faraday. he lifted you off the ground and spun you before realizing that maybe the two of you were showing too much public affection… especially since Goody, Billy and Vasquez were watching from the main house.

he set you down gruffly and took a step back, “sorry.” he apologized. for the first time in his life, heat rushed to his face and he felt embarrassed, because he actually cared about you.
