It took me a minute to figure out where to go with this but then I remembered our discord conversation about Shawn and Gus being banned from the station cause of Trout in s8 and so this happened.
Shules - Kisses + #17 Top Of Head Kisses
"Shawn, what are you doing down there?"
Shawn froze, the secret agent music that's been playing in his head for the past five minutes trailing off. His brain conjures up an image of the screening of his spy film running out of film, trailing off and burning before the credits can even roll. Oh well, he's had a good run.
"Uh, hi Jules," He says sheepishly meeting her eye. “I’m just doing surveillance.”
“From under my desk?” She glances around, her voice going to a whisper. “You’re still banned from the station remember? If Trout sees you he’s going to blow a fuse.”
“Which is why I’m under your desk. It’s the perfect hiding spot. Who’s gonna pay attention to the man between your legs?” Realizing what he just said, his eyes go wide. “Wait- no that’s not what I meant.” Catching the amused look on her face, he smirks. “But if that’s what you want it to mean...”
She rolls her eyes. Well, it was worth a shot. “You’re just lucky Trout is at a lunch meeting with one of his tv show consulting buddies and that this,” She gestures towards him with one hand, “is a welcome distraction from all of that.” She gestures towards something on her desk that he can’t see from his position but he assumes it’s the large stack of paperwork he spotted earlier when he was sneaking around.
“Wait, Trout’s not here?” It’s almost too good to be true, time at the station with Juliet where he doesn’t have to avoid Trout at all times. A grin on his face, he jumps up, momentarily forgetting that he’s under a desk. The bang that follows wipes the grin off his face as sparks of pain shoot through his head.
He glances up with partially blurry vision-- though he blames it on the fact that all he can focus on in the pain right now-- hand rubbing the tender spot. Juliet’s eyes are wide, her hands over her mouth and chair rolled further back than it was earlier.
“Are you okay?” She asks, moving her hands away from her mouth. He can see the grimace underneath and figures that it looked as bad as it felt.
“It depends on what you mean by ‘okay’. Emotionally? Probably not, this is embarrassing. Physically? Definitely not. Psychically?” She fixes him with a Look and he smiles sheepishly. “Yeah I’m okay, it just hurts... a lot.”
“Aww,” She rolls forward, bottom lip sticking out in a pout. “Come here.”
She cups his cheeks, tilting his head down. He can feel her press her lips to his hair and even though the small touch to the tender spot causes it to throb a little, he can’t help but smile.
Looking up at her through his eyelashes, he catches her similar smile. “How’s that? Better?”
“A little...” He tilts his head to the side. “But I think I’ll need more kisses just in case.”
“Just get home as soon as possible, okay?!” + Shules
I was originally doing these in the order that they were sent to me but then my brain chose violence today so I managed to get this one done. Enjoy :)
Shules - Angst + #17 “Just get home as soon as possible, okay?!”
He picks up the phone between fourth and fifth street. There's a grey sedan to his left-- it's older, several dings and scratches along the car body and the bolts on the license plate are starting to rust-- and a red sports car behind him-- which lacks a muffler and is so shiny, it must be waxed almost every day. A kid on a bright blue bicycle rides by-- he's wearing a red helmet and has an Avengers bandaid on his right knee-- ringing the little silver bell on his handlebars for all it's worth. The contact on his phone reads "Jules" with a little pink heart next to her name, the photo underneath displaying a selfie of the two of them holding up ice cream cones-- mint chocolate chip for her, moose tracks for him-- green and white smushed around their mouths.
There's a smile on his face as he answers the phone, greeting his wife with a chipper tone. "Hey, babe! What's up?"
She doesn't respond for a few seconds and when she does, her voice cracks a little. "Hi, Shawn... where are you?"
"Just passing sixth street." He tries to ignore the way his chest tightens with worry. "Why? Is everything okay?"
There's another pause on her end of the phone. "I don't know." He notices how her voice wobbles as she speaks and it causes his chest to tighten.
"You don't know? Jules, what's wrong?"
Over the speaker, he can hear her taking a deep, shaky breath. "Please come home quickly, I need you."
Pressing a little harder on the gas, he grips the phone tighter. "I'm driving as fast as I can go without getting pulled over. Sweetheart, please tell me what's going on."
"I- I can't say. Just get home as soon as possible... please."
Realizing that he's not going to get an answer over the phone, he nods instead. "Okay, I'm on my way baby. I'll be there soon. I love you."
She sniffles and he wonders if she's been crying this whole time. "I love you too."
The second she hangs up, he tosses his phone onto the passenger seat and hits the gas. He can hear each thud of his rapidly beating heart pounding in his ears, his chest constricting with every breath. Sure his wife is strong, she's the toughest person he knows, but that doesn't mean he won't stop at anything to be there for her. Even if that means breaking a few laws to do so.
"can you shut up for once in your life?" for psych. I would specify a character but we all know it's gonna be directed at shawn
Despite being an angst prompt, this wound up being not super angsty but oh well. It’s got found family and that was the goal. Set somewhere in late season 4. Putting it under a read more just in case cause it’s like 800 words.
Psych - Angst + #11 "Can you shut up for once in your life?"
He's not really sure how they got into this situation. All he knows is that one second, he and Shawn are sneaking onto the property of a farmer (who Shawn believed to be a suspect), Juliet and Lassie hot on their heels, and the next second they're all tied up in a barn.
Actually, perhaps he does know how they got into this situation, considering the answer is currently running his mouth.
"Soooo what exactly is your plan here? Because you've got two police detectives and two police consultants tied up in your barn here. You're already a suspect. It just seems like poor planning."
Now Gus didn’t think it was a really great plan to provoke the guy who kidnapped them, and who also had a barrage of farm tools at his ready. He didn’t exactly feel like being tortured today. Though, he’d have to hand it to Shawn, he certainly knew how to get under someone’s skin.
The farmer was pacing back and forth, rubbing his muddied hands on his even muddier jeans and muttering to himself. He certainly didn’t look like someone who had a diabolical plan but after four years of doing this, Gus didn’t like to make assumptions.
Well, regardless of Gus’ own thoughts on what Shawn should and should not do, he can always count on Lassie to vocalize them for him. “Spencer, what are you doing?” The lanky detective hisses. Earlier Gus was thankful to have been put between Shawn and Gus but now... he’s not so sure.
“Relax Lassie, I’ve got this.”
“You’re going to get us all killed.”
“I don’t know Carlton,” Juliet finally speaks up, her voice equally hushed, and Gus has to crane his head to see her-- her small body being covered by Lassie’s much larger one. “Shawn has been held hostage a lot, maybe he knows what he’s doing.”
He can’t help but chuckle at that. “I don’t think Shawn ever knows what he’s doing.”
“Gus- guys, come on, what is this? Pick on Shawn Spencer day?"
“And how is that different from most other days.” He can see Lassie smiling to himself out of pride, though Shawn’s voice is quick to wipe that off his face.
“Aw Lassie, you made a joke. I’m so proud of you.” His best friend cranes his head, looking down the row at all of them. “Relax guys, I’ve got this.”
Gus grimaces. That’s exactly what he’s afraid of.
“Excuse me, Mr Farmer Sir. I was wondering if you possibly knew my farmer friend and could call him? He’d help clear up this whole situation.”
The farmer’s head whips towards them. “Be quiet!”
Naturally, Shawn keeps talking. “His name is McDonald, he’s kind of old but he can still get the job done.”
“Oh my gosh. We’re going to die here.” Juliet mutters.
“Regretting vouching for Spencer?” Lassie asks flatly and Gus figures it’s a rhetorical question.
If Shawn hears either of them, it certainly doesn’t stop him. “He’s got some animals. A pig that goes oink oink here, and oink oink there. Sometimes when I visit it feels like here’s an oink and there’s an oink. Oinks just everywhere!”
“I said be quiet!” The farmer shouts, “I’m trying to think!”
“He’s got a cow too.” Gus can practically hear all of them sighing at once. “That animal goes moo--”
The farmer roars and rushes forward, grabbing Shawn by the front of his shirt. Judging by how wide Shawn’s eyes go, Gus has to guess that this was not the intended result. Though he’s not exactly sure what type of result Shawn was hoping to get here.
“You annoying little-” The farmer pauses for a moment, as if searching for the right word and winds up settling on just yelling. “Can you shut up for once in your life!?”
“Hey now!” Gus hears his own voice yell. It’s a little odd, this sudden bought of courage, but then again that is his best friend. Plus he had been shot not too long ago, and Gus couldn’t live himself if anything else bad happened to him. “Shawn may be annoying and never knows when to be quiet, but that doesn’t give you the right to tell him to shut up!”
“Yeah! He may be incapable of being quiet but he’s also the best private detective around here and a great friend!” Juliet chimes in.
Lassie grunts in agreement. “Plus, you’re looking at a pretty hefty harassment charge right there on top of your murder, kidnapping, and kidnapping an officer charges. You might want to rethink this.”
Despite being possibly strangled by his shirt collar, Shawn seems to be beaming. The farmer, on the other hand, looks like someone just knocked the air out of him.
Making eye contact with Shawn, Gus smiles. “Shawn’s an idiot, but he’s our idiot.”
Ohhh this was quite fun!! I haven’t written them before so thank you for giving me an excuse to try my hand at it. Also I haven’t written Selene in months so I hope I did her justice cause I love her. This takes place shortly after the first movie, when they’re still new to their relationship.
Gus/Selene - Random + #28 “How drunk was I?”
Gus isn't quite used to Selene yet. Of course he cares about her and they have a lot in common, but he's still getting to know her and she's a lot more extroverted than he is. She's constantly taking him by surprise, whether it be randomly showing up to his office with a bagged lunch or asking him out for a drink and then going bar crawling for three hours. The latter of which they did last night.
That's not to say he didn't have fun during any of these-- actually, it's the most fun he's had on dates in a long time-- but her spontaneous, extroverted nature always tends to throw him for a loop. Like with the bar crawl. He hadn't expected to do one that night but it was a blast, getting to party, dance, and drink all night with a gorgeous woman. He had remarked on a few occasions that he should've worn his fitness band to keep track of all his steps. (Though the repetition could be attributed to the fact that every time he said it, she'd roll her eyes in a goodnatured way and kiss him.) But it was fun-- though the end of the night is a bit fuzzy-- getting to be with Selene as they both got progressively more drunk. However, she did get drunk a lot faster than he did which is why he choose this morning to spend his time in the kitchen of her apartment, whipping up scrambled eggs and coffee.
He hears her footsteps approach and glances up, unable to keep his eyes from sweeping over her form, clad in the striped black and gray button-down he wore last night.
"Good morning," He greets, turning back to the stove.
Her response comes in a groan as she slumps into one of the kitchen chairs.
Chuckling, he slides the eggs onto two plates and offers her one. "I had fun last night."
She mutters her thanks and then takes a long sip of the coffee he just handed her. "I think I had a little too much fun. How are you not hungover?"
"Oh I'm dying," He laughs, sitting in the chair next to her, "I just have this thing, Shawn calls it the 'mom friend override', where if someone I care about is hurt I suppress my pain and try to help them feel better. Well unless that person is Shawn, he's a baby so usually, I just let him whine it out depending on how bad it actually is."
She chuckles before taking a bite of eggs. "Well as much as I appreciate all of this-" She gestures with one hand to their breakfast, "I'm gonna have to ask you to knock it off and be in pain with me."
"Deal."
As he takes a sip of coffee, she turns to look at him, eyebrow raised. "How drunk was I last night anyway?"
He has to fight off another laugh as memories flood his brain. Her, challenging every customer that bought a whiskey to a dance off, her creating towers out of shot glasses, her getting progressively more handsy as the night went on.
"Let's put it like this: you asked me if I was single," She bops her head to the side, as if deciding that that wasn't too bad, "And then cried when I said no."
Her eyes go wide and he’s pretty sure she’s blushing. “You’re kidding.”
“Nope, dead serious. It was quite flattering.” He barely hides his smirk behind another sip of coffee. “I had to spend quite a bit of time reassuring you that it was you who was dating me though.”
