Stealing - Sherriff Thompson x Bandit!Reader (Saloonatics)

Stealing. It's essential to your life. You've been doing it ever since you were a child. You were abandoned by both your parents and lived your life by taking things from others.

You are an adult now, you managed to steal and sell stolen things enough to get you money to buy yourself a house. You were proud of this.

But ever since there's been more bandits just like you, the sheriff, Sheriff Thompson, he's been catching most of them with the help of his friend Edd. Your bandit friends told you stories about how their friends got caught and they managed to just escape.

You were gonna steal some beer from the local bar. Easy. You snuck up behind it, making sure nobody was behind you. You opened the back compartment door with the beer and...

There stood Thompson.

He chuckled to himself. "I knew a bandit like you would come over and try to steal this beer eventually. C'mon, let's get you to where you belong." He put you in handcuffs and took you to jail.

You shared a cell with a man in green. You didn't much care for him. You just wanted to get out of this hell.

You occasionally winked at Thompson as he checked on you, trying to get him to let you out. You blew kisses at him and everything.

I'm just doing this to try and escape. You told yourself. Not because I love him. You were lying to yourself, though. You loved him quite a bit, you hated to admit.

Months passed. You had made no progress. But then...

"Well..." Thompson said to you one day. "It's time to let you bandits free." Your face got red with excitement. YES!!! You thought to yourself.

Thompson unlocked your door first. Not even thinking, as soon as you got out your cell, you ran up and hugged Thompson and kissed him on the cheek. You felt you needed too.

"Now don't go stealin' my heart, partner." He said to you as you ventured back to your home in this truly Wild West.
