Pairing: SHULES! J
Disclaimer: Do I look like Steve Franks? No, I do not own Psych, not that I would mind…
Summary: Shawn discovers Cuddle Up Day and of course, he HAS to tell Juliet all about it!
A/N: Yes, believe it or not, these are all actual holidays! The site I found them on really helped me with my writer's block, and it might help you too! The only way I know how to get to it is Google "National Iced Tea Day" and click on Holiday Insights: National Iced Tea Day, and on your left you will see a link titled, "Bizarre and Unique Days". Click on that, and it will show you a link to each month, which contains a list of the days and links to a page describing it. There you go, and I hope it helps you! J This story is going to be a bunch of one-shots based on wacky holidays, with pretty much all Shules, because I'm not very good with other pairings, but if I see one that fits, I'll write a Gus/OC or Lassiter/OC or pretty much any other pairing you ask me for, except Shassie, Shus or Lassiet (actually, I will do Lassiet, Shus, or Shassie but purely friendship, not romance!) Oh and I will try and do some Buzz, because he does not get a fair amount of time on the show OR fanfics! Okay, on with the story! J Oh, and I love reviews, and since I am not an experienced writer, I love constructive criticism too! Sorry this first one isn't very good, I'm not feeling very well.
Juliet's phone buzzed on the nightstand. Groggily, she opened one eye and reached for it. Holding it up, she squinted and saw the words '1 message received'. Opening it, she saw a text from Chief reading, "Detective O'Hara, your services are required at work. -Chief" Slightly reluctant at leaving the comforting warmth of her sheets, she slowly began to get up and out of the bed so she wouldn't wake Shawn up. However, a moment later, the movement beside her and the strong arms wrapping around her waist told her that her efforts had been in vain. "Hey, sweetheart!" Shawn remarked cheerily, placing a kiss on her forehead. "Hey, Shawn. I have to go into work, the Chief said-" Shawn cut her off. "Oh no, you don't, I have a legal document right here saying you are obligated to stay here and cuddle with me." He said seriously, holding up a piece of paper titled, "Cuddle Day!" "What's this?" Juliet questioned disbelievingly, taking the paper from him and scanning it quickly. "How exactly is this a legal document?" "Well, it isn't illegal to print it." he replied, smirking at Juliet. "Shawn, seriously, let me go, the Chief is going to be mad." "Well, if I were the Chief, I'd be more mad at you for purposely ignoring and going against the rules and regulations of a national holiday than I would be at you for missing your first day of work in 4 years." Shawn said, smiling at his girlfriend and whispering, "And you know, you don't really want to leave, do you, Juliet? Hmm? Wouldn't you much rather stay here, underneath your nice, soft, warm sheets and cuddle with me then go inside the cold, cold SBPD building and sit down at a desk, typing until your fingers bleed, all alone? Would you rather sit here, snuggling with me and watching cartoons, or stare at a computer screen, doing boring paperwork-" Resisting the urge to moan at just how good staying sounded to her, she cut him off by saying, "Well, no, I don't want to leave, but there's a reason you're not Chief, Shawn." "Okay, hand over the cell phone, Jules." he replied. "Why?" She replied warily, handing him the phone reluctantly. He felt her forehead. "You feel a little warm, Jules. We better tell Chief you can't come in today." He remarked, smirking at her. "No way, Shawn! I am not playing hooky from work!" She protested. "Jules, today is supposed to be your day off anyway. When was the last time we just spent a whole day together, snuggling?" Shawn asked Juliet. "Well, never…and it does sound like fun." She admitted, still too drowsy to really grasp the situation. "Atta girl, Jules! Here, I'll call in for you!" He smiled, dialing the number for Chief Vick's office.
…A Few Hours Later…
"I still feel kind of bad for lying to the Chief." Juliet said, feeling guilty as they cuddled on the bed, watching Tom and Jerry. "Jules, technically I lied to the Chief, not you, and you deserved the day off, you work really hard." He attempted to soothe her, looking into those beautiful blue eyes, clouded over with guilt. "If you really feel this bad, you should go in, pretend you feel better." She looked back up at him. "I said I feel bad, not that I want to go in, Shawn." She told him, smiling, that spark he loved so much coming back to her eyes. He grinned back, brushing a strand of hair out of her face and kissing her. As they pulled apart, she told him, "I love Cuddle Day!" He laughed.
A/N: OK, I know it's really bad, but it was written at midnight, I haven't been feeling good lately and I was working at ServeFest yesterday and I'm kinda sore. So R&R please J
