Disclaimer: I do not own Psych

He had seen it all.

Gus had looked at Shawn and saw a lost childhood—an excuse for why he wasted his adulthood being a child. Gus had seen the missed mother, the dad who made him practice his five senses, perfecting them, never being able to be a normal kid. Gus had seen the rivalry, and though he was Shawn's best friend, Shawn despised him just a little for always being better in things such as school and sports.

Gus glanced over at Juliet, or Jules, and had seen her faraway glances at Shawn and Abigail—Julie constantly standing up for Shawn or doing little favors for him. Gus had seen the pain in her eyes, tears that were never shed, words never spoken.

He then looked at Lassiter, his cold exterior hiding away his agony over his ex-wife. The way he picked on Shawn—trying to find flaws in every single person just to convince himself that nobody's perfect.

And the Captain. Oh the Captain—always in her sister's shadow. Behind her stern and criticizing eyes lay a childhood being second-best, a childhood being forgotten. Masked behind her commanding voice was the want, the need to be the best and in charge.

And Gus kept all these secrets to himself. Why? Because no one other than Gus would understand.

Please review!!! :D Press that little button there—you know you want to!!!
