Oh and just because .. :) Dean + Seth and T
Dean + Seth, T. An obscure AU. (WESTERN. I’m so sorry. I just really wanted an excuse to use sarsaparilla bc i looked up how to spell it like 5 years ago and still haven’t written anything using it.)
“Now I need ya’ to put your hands up where I can see ‘em, friend,” Seth drawled, grin lighting his stubbled face. They said he couldn’t do it, but look at him now. He had the most infamous bank robber in the West right at his fingertips. “No sudden movements, now!”
“I ain’t recalled us ever bein’ friends, partner,” the man replied, turning around slowly. He wore the smuggest grin Seth had ever laid eyes on, a piece of cloth with holes poked for the eyes wrapped around the top half of his face.
“Dean Ambrose,” Seth sneered. “You’re gonna’ make me a rich man.”
“I don’t know,” Dean said, dragging his eyes from Seth’s well-oiled boots to his well-oiled hair, “you look like you’ve been doin’ pretty fine on your own. What do you want little old me for?”
“By the authority vested in me as a deputy of this town–”
“Hold on, now,” Dean said, “you mean you ain’t even the sheriff?”
Seth’s cheeks darkened in anger and embarrassment. “I’ll have you know I’m first in line to be sheriff when old H retires!”
“But still not sheriff now,” Dean smiled. “Well ain’t that sweet, me gettin’ caught out by a reg’lar deputy.”
“This reg’lar deputy is gonna’ put a bullet in you if you don’t shut your mouth,” Seth growled. “Now keep those hands where I can see ‘em.” Pistol drawn and cocked, he approached Dean slowly. He’d heard rumors of how dangerous the man was, and he wasn’t taking any chances.
“You know where a guy can get a sarsaparilla around here?” Dean asked, seemingly unconcerned. “I’ve had me a hankerin’ for one.”
“No sarsaparilla where you’re goin,’” Seth said. “Now hold your hands out in front.”
Dean did as asked, holding his wrists limply in front of him. “You know, me and this saloon girl out of Waco once re-enacted a scenario much like this one.”
“Oh yeah?” Seth said, pulling a length of rope from his belt. “Well I guess I’m lucky she didn’t shoot you, otherwise I’da lost out on the reward.”
“Yup,” Dean nodded sagely, “and I’da lost out on this.” Lurching forward with a surprisingly long reach, he wrenched Seth’s pistol hand and pulled him forward, spinning them both around to where Seth was wrapped in Dean’s arms, both of Dean’s hands on Seth’s crossed wrists. “You really want that reward so bad when you got the warm body right here in front of you?” he winked.
“You let go’a me right now, you thievin’ coot!” Seth yelled, struggling to pull his arms from Dean’s grasp.
“Or what?” Dean laughed. “You’ll arrest me? Well gosh, deputy, I ain’t never heard that one a’fore.” He tightened the hand around Seth’s pistol wrist, squeezing until Seth was forced to drop the gun, and kicked it away after it had clattered to the floor. “Now maybe we can talk like civilized folk,” Dean said, cautiously loosening his hold.
“Ambrose!” Seth growled, jerking out of Dean’s grip.
“Or not…Ah, well…Until next time, deputy,” Dean tipped his hat, then at a sprint dove for the window, sending glass shattering in all direction.
“I’ll have ‘em build your coffin yet,” Seth grumbled, retrieving his dropped gun. If he wanted to be sheriff, he had to prove himself, and he’d do it with Dean Ambrose, dead or alive.
