I think there is a bit of wonder and longing in Methos's look there. It's quite clear that he's very intrigued by Duncan, that he let himself be discovered by the Highlander on purpose, and that he doesn't just keep coming around because of Duncan's beer suspply. *g*
And after 300 years - well I think my computer is trying to tell me something as it just skipped from one version of "Can't Stand Me Now" to another! Seriously, by that time, they would probably both ridiculously devoted to each other and ready to kill each other.
There aren't many fics that really explore that far into the long-term, are there? Truthfully, I have problems imagining Methos being able to make that kind of commitment, however much he wants to, unless he feels that he has plent of space. Duncan can be overwhelming, and I think Methos, drawn to the fire as he is, is also very afraid of being trapped in the flames. ^^
