Being a town sheriff is very easy.

All you have to do is run the county jail, investigate crimes, and preserve the peace by arresting criminals, serving warrants and subpoenas, responding to reports of nuisances or dangers, enforcing laws, and patrolling the entire country.

...Okay, maybe it's not all that easy, but it's something that Tunner manages to do on a daily basis.

Usually he'd be able to keep up with the workload, but today was exhausting. He found himself doing more than one man could handle, and being the only sheriff to overlook Sprunki Hollow, he found himself experiencing extreme burnout. He couldn't really focus on what he usually would like to do, and never found time for his friends.

Now, he was at his desk looking over reports, sipping a cup if coffee to keep himself awake. It was currently 9pm, and mostly everyone was asleep by now. Well, at least that's what he hd assumed.

He was peacefully doing his job, until a knock at the door snapped him out of his trance. "Oh. C'mon in..."

Tunner, who expected to see maybe Durple or Simon, was shocked to see it was Wenda who walked in. Recently she's been visiting more, but never this late at night. "Hello Tunner!" She announced, and her suspicious behavior makes Tunner raise an eyebrow.
Wenda takes notice of his expression, and she laughs it off. "Oh, don't give me that look sheriff, I simply came in for a visit!" She waved her hand with her usual smile.

"So... ya simply came in fer a visit, 'uh? It's gettin' pretty damn late at night Wenda, I don't think this is just sum random visit."

"You're far too paranoid Tunner." She smirks and walks over  and crouches beside him, placing an arm around his shoulder. Tunner gives her a skeptical look, and then turns back to his work. As she examines him, she suddenly smirks.
"Y'know sheriff... I have a thing for hard working men~"

"Oh for christ's sake Wenda..." Tunner pinched the bridge of his non-existent nose.

She laughs. "What? What's the problem?"

"This is the problem; you flirtin' with me for the past few weeks! It's uncalled for.. and unwanted. I won't ask ya ta stop again, ya hear?"

"Oh cool! No resistance! That makes this easier for me!"

Tunner sighs heavily and goes back to work. As he was attempting to focus, Wenda suddenly pokes one of his ears, making him jump. "Oh- Wenda!" He exclaims in annoyance, slamming his papers down on the desk.

Wenda of course, still innocently blinks at him. "Yes sheriff?"

Tunner goes silent, and then sighs deeply, resting his hands in his head. Wenda then realizes the sudden shift in his attitude, and her smile slowly fades away. She actually sees the stress, the frustration... and the confusion.

She then pulls up a chair, sitting beside him. Wenda was never good at the sentimental stuff, but she's never seen Tunner like this; so for once, she was gonna try and be a normal friend to him rather than a flirtatious one. She then clears her throat, and rests a hand on his back, "You... good Tunner? You don't seem okay."

"I mean..." He sighs. "... 'f course I'm not okay... I've just had 'bout the shittiest day of ma life. Crime rate done went up, prisoners attemptin' to go on some haywire protest. These documents keepin' me up all night... and now I'm just.. confused. I'm confused."

"Tunner have... I mean... have I been causing you more trouble? With my flirting? I mean, usually you'd brush it off but... but now you seem like you're angry at me." Her ears droop a bit, and her tone is more tinged with guilt. Tunner looks over at Wenda, and he feels a bit bad for snapping at her; after all, it wasn't her fault he had a bad day. With a sigh, he places a hand on hers.

"Wenda, you ain't never made one of ma days worse. If anything... you make 'em more interestin'. You advances sorta makes me feel, I dunno... more important, I guess."
Wenda's ears perk up a bit, and her smile slightly returns. "They do?" She asks, her tail now swaying in a slow happy motion. He nods, and a smile forms on his face as well.
"Yeah... they do. I'm gosh darn sure of it, sweetheart."

Hearing the small nickname, Wenda blushes and giggles a bit, turning away from Tunner. "I'm glad I make your days better, sheriff. Originally I was doing it to annoy your but now I..." She stops herself, realizing what she was about to admit. Wenda was quick to cover her mouth and blush more.
Tunner notices her odd behavior and tilts his head curiously. "Now ya what?"

"I mean... nothing! It was nothing, Tunner." She quickly waves it off, pulling her hand off of his shoulder. Tunner was even more puzzled, bit he then quickly notices her blush and smirks. "I dunno Wenda... you lookin' a bit more like Raddy suddenly."

Wenda’s fur stands on it's ends as she stutters an immediate response. "No I'm not! You're just.. uh, blind! Because you're old!"

"Wenda, we both know that 32 ain't that old..."

"Still old!"

Tunner laughs. "You sure are startin' to sound like Simon. He says that every time he gets the darn chance." He explains before looking out the window with a smile, thinking about Simon. Noticing this, Wenda unconsciously grows a bit jealous and leans a bit on Tunner, catching his attention.

"But I say it better, right?" She smirks. Tunner, in response, chuckles lightly. He then tilts her head up, making her go more red than last time.

"Do ya really want an answer to that, little kitty?"

"D... D-Did you just..."

Tunner shakes his head and pulls away, looking back down at his work. After a while of freezing up Wenda snaps out of it and turns to Tunner, her face nearly red by now. "Hey!! D-Did you just give me a cringe nickname?!"

"Ya call me 'Tun-Tun' Wenda. Ain't that "cringe" enough?"

"Uh, no. It's cute."

"J'st like you, hm?"

"Tunner!!" She exclaims, and he laughs once again. Seeing him happy however, she sooner or later smiles as well.

From that day forth, their relationship had changed. Wenda visited more frequently, and toned down on the flirting. When Tunner was on break, he was always accompanied by Wenda, and they grew close as friends.
Eventually one day, Wenda came in with a lunch for Tunner, which he happily accepted. She then suddenly kisses his cheek, and he nearly chokes on his food.
"I thought you'd might need one for good luck today!"

"O-Oh... heheh. Thanks f'r that, Wenda. I'll keep m'self safe then..."

Ad she walked off, Tunner couldn't help but smile fondly and touch the area where he was kissed. 'What are you doin' to me, Wenda...?'
