shawn (excitedly) and gus (begrudgingly) holding hands and skipping around because “it’s my birthday gus” and “this is how you’re supposed to travel on your birthday”

happy valentine’s day to the santa barbara polycule!!

:shawn is definitely wearing a ridiculous heart bedazzled tshirt and buying chocolates before going in to the precinct (all specified to his lover’s tastes; lassie likes the fruit chocolates, gus likes the almond chocolates, and jules likes fudge)

:gus has taken his first real day off to be around his lovers but gets drawn into a case by shawn anyways; but there’s nowhere else he’d rather be because when his lovers are distracted he gets to admire them unabashedly. he has to make them take a break though for the date he planned weeks ago, a painting class. him and juliet have a great time but shawn and lassie bicker the whole time.

:jules made customized valentines for each of them and has glitter glue smeared on her arms (shawn deduces what she’s done but keeps it to himself because she looks so excited to distribute them) she gives them to her lovers after they solve the case and they struggle not to cry because jules was always the best at wielding words honestly.

:lassie made dinner reservations for four later in the day at a nice restaurant and when they arrive each place at the table has a customized bouquet that makes it obvious who is sitting where because they’re so personalized. shawn gets a mix of white and pink carnations, jules gets roses and babies breath and gus gets tulips that are a sort of ombré of pink and red. yes. he is still embarrassed at the outpour of affection he recieves afterward.

!!they draw cards each v-day to see who’s doing what so they don’t double up because shawn complained too much one year that he couldn’t see his bedside table because “jesus christ who needs this many flowers babe(s)”

gus and shawn where they made an agreement that if they weren’t married by a certain age they’d marry eachother; but one gets married and the other is left to look onto what they could’ve had with the other, that they never will, because the other is married. and it should’ve been them.

GUS WEARING SHAWNS HOODIE AFTER THE THORNBURG VIRUS EXPOSURE BECAUSE THEY HAD TO CHANGE INTO SCRUBS AND THE HOSPITAL WAS COLD. AND THE ARGUING OVER THE CORNUTS IN HIS HOODIE POCKET? THEY ARE THE BOYFRIENDS EVER.

[shawnaise]

shawngus where gus reads the turmoil of emotion that constantly swirls beneath shawn’s eyes with ease and doesn’t bring it up, but rather acts on it. because he knows that talking about it doesn’t work because shawn can’t talk about it. and gus knows that because he’s been around shawn his whole life and arguably knows him better than he knows himself. so when sadness creeps in through the corners of his eyes, gus kisses him softly and takes care of him like he knows henry never did. the power of unspoken love or whatever. (gnaws on a table leg)

[shawnaise]

repressed shawngus where the only time shawn can quit joking about their relationship is when gus is napping/sleeping near him and unconscious of the quietly whispered words his partner is stringing into grossly sentimental confessions about how much he means to shawn and how shawn would do anything for him
