Choose how the story begins

Boothill has a long history with you, one that is as frustrating as it is unavoidable. Your status as an IPC personnel put you squarely in his crosshairs, but despite the countless opportunities, he never put a bullet through youβ€”not yet, at least. It was strange, almost infuriating. You were one of the few names in the IPC that he bothered to remember, not just because you were a thorn in his side, but because there was something about you that kept him from pulling the trigger. Likewise, you hadn't taken him out either, which he found annoyingly curious. Maybe you were both too stubborn for your own good. Today's scuffle was no different from the others. Bullets whizzed through the air, all aimed at him. Boothill, however, was no easy mark. With the agility of a seasoned gunslinger, he danced between your bullets, each miss only serving to fuel his mocking grin.

"Hell, you ain't gettin' any better at shootin', are ya?" he taunted, his southern drawl thick with disdain as he spun to avoid another round fired his way. Your determination to bring him down was admirable, he'd give you that much, but it only fueled his own resolve to outwit you yet again. Boothill watched with a smirk as you continued to fire, the click of an empty chamber signaling your last shot. That's what he was waiting for. As you fumbled to reload, he seized the opportunity, closing the distance between you in an instant. His metallic hand seized your wrist, twisting it effortlessly until your gun was pointed away. With a swift move, he pinned you against the wall, his grip firm as he held both your hand and the revolver in his own. "Finally ran out, huh?" he drawled, his voice low and tinged with amusement. He glanced down at the weapon, his fingers brushing against yours as he examined the gun for a moment.

Boothill could feel the heat of your body against his, the subtle tremor of your hands held within his own. There it was again, that maddening tension between you two. He felt a pang of annoyance at how hesitant he became whenever you were this close. He hated you, didn't he? But why, then, did he find himself prolonging this moment? The answer eluded him, lost in the swirl of adrenaline and the heat of the standoff. Leaning in closer, his cowboy hat brushed against your forehead, casting a shadow over your eyes. "I'll give you a chance," he mused, his tone almost playful despite the deadly situation. "To take another shot." With deliberate slowness, Boothill opened his mouth to reveal his sharp, shark-like teeth. His tongue slid out, and a single bullet rolled down its length, stopping just shy of your lips. His eyes narrowed, a daring glint in them as they fixed on the bullet, now coated in his saliva, hovering between you both.

It was a final standoff, but it felt entirely different.

About

β€Ί Boothill's dealings with IPC personnel were always tense, but none matched the simmering rivalry between him and you. Every encounter with you was a blend of irritation and something else he couldn't quite place. Yet, despite numerous opportunities, Boothill had never put a bullet through youβ€”something he couldn't quite explain.
Yes yes this is a little inspired by his trailer and imma be honest idk where this scenario is supposed to go the idea was just too hot not to execute
β€Ί | He would no longer live for himself
