"Shawn stop grinning like an idiot, you're scaring people."
The psychic looked over at the young blond detective, making no effort to dim his brilliant smile. "Come on Jules, how can you not be excited about this? We're going to the National Law Enforcement Innovative Methods Seminar in Washington DC!'
Juliet rolled her eyes and tried to hide her smile, "You're just excited because you're going to be featured there."
"Well yes, that is a definite perk, but I also get to go with my…umm…Jules what exactly are we?"
Juliet puzzled over the question; it was one she'd thought about a lot recently. A few weeks ago she and Shawn had gotten together but they weren't official or anything yet. "Well we aren't really dating, because Carlton would not handle that well and he's already difficult enough to work with. But we're definitely more than friends, although I refuse to use the term 'friends with benefits' because it's too juvenile. So can't we just be us? I mean we don't have to define what we are."
Shawn nodded, but he was a little hurt that she was choosing pacifying Lassie over dating him. "Yeah okay" He wasn't even sure why he was so upset, it was the type of relationship he dreamed about. They weren't dating so he didn't have to worry about doing any boyfriend-y stuff but he still got to have sex with an incredibly gorgeous girl.
"Now boarding section 3"
"Oh that's us" Juliet stood up and picked up her bags; Shawn quickly followed as she led the way to the ticket counter. The airline attendant greeted them as she scanned their tickets "Have a nice flight" she smiled as she returned the boarding passes and waved them past.
Once on the plane, they quickly found their seats; unfortunately they were on a large plane and were seated in the middle clump of seats away from either window. Shawn offered to let Juliet sit in the aisle seat even though that was his assigned seat, but she declined and sat in the middle. She had already glanced at their tickets and noticed that they had a window seat on the return flight and she was going to use her sacrifice here to get that seat, but she wasn't about to tell Shawn that.
When they were settled in their seats, Juliet pulled out the large navy blue blanket she always brought with her on flights. Shawn eyed the blanket suspiciously "Jules why do you have a shroud, are you planning on killing someone?"
"It's just a blanket, it's warm and it helps me sleep" Juliet explained defensively as she spread the large, bulky covering over her lap.
"You know what else is warm that you can sleep with?" Shawn whispered as he attempted to put an arm around her.
Juliet quickly slapped his arm away, "Don't think you're getting away with that after you insulted my blanket" she teased.
"Juliet?"
Two heads snapped over to locate the familiar voice.
"Oh my god, Scott! What are you doing here? Juliet asked as she jumped up to hug the newcomer.
"I'm going to visit my brother, you remember Danny, right? He just moved out to DC so I'm going to visit his new place. What about you?"
"That sounds so cool" Juliet enthused before addressing his question "We're going to a law enforcement seminar.' She pointed to Shawn to acknowledge his presence. However, she hadn't noticed the look of angered jealousy on his face.
"Oh hey man" Scott greeted Shawn as he stuck out his hand, the latter begrudgingly shook it.
"Hey Scott, you're not looking as beat up as when I saw you last."
Scott gave him a quizzical glance at the comment before returning his attention to Juliet. "So have you been? Thankfully we don't have seven years worth of excitement to catch up on this time." Juliet smiled while Shawn rolled his eyes at the lame joke.
"Hey Jules do you mind if I borrow some of that blanket?"
"Oh sure, now since you're cold it's okay" she teased as she gave him some of the massive blue blanket.
"Yep, thanks" He spread the soft material over his lap and then slowly slid his hand underneath the blanket to grab her hand. Her smile widened as his hand grasped hers; it was so secretive and completely adorable. She turned to wink at him before refocusing her attention on Scott. "I haven't really been up to too much, just working on cases at the station, trying to survive Carlton's ego" she playfully rolled her eyes. "Oh and Jamie came into town last week so we had dinner together, you remember Jamie right? She was my roommate sophomore year."
While Scott was responding, the plane began to take off and Shawn hoped Juliet would get nervous and cling on to his hand extra hard so he could reassure her, but she was calm and collected; just like a cop should be. For the next 20 minutes, Scott and Juliet reminisced about college memories while Shawn pretended to watch the movie they were showing on the TV screen. He was growing more jealous by the second, but couldn't intervene or ask Scott to back off since he wasn't technically dating Juliet. Being the crafty guy he was, he quickly devised a plan to secretly assert his dominance.
"Jules, do you mind if I raise this armrest, it's digging into my side."
"No go ahead" she responded with a quick wave of her hand before returning to her conversation.
"Oh yeah, is it alright if I put mine up too, there's not really much room."
"Uh no that's fine" Juliet responded a bit more hesitantly since Scott wasn't her…well whatever Shawn was. She knew Shawn was probably getting jealous and she waited for him to take her hand again so she could give it a reassuring squeeze.
Shawn, however, had something else on his mind entirely. Running his hand up and down her thigh, he quickly thanked whatever gods had made her wear a skirt today as well as whatever had caused her to bring this dark blue mass of fabric that perfectly hid the movement of his hand. In a swift movement, Shawn's hand travelled up the skirt and brushed against her opening through her panties.
Juliet gasped and straightened as she felt where Shawn's hand had moved to.
"Are you okay?" Scott asked, troubled by her sudden reaction.
"Uh yeah…Shawn just accidentally hit me" She emphasized the word 'accidentally' and shot him a warning glance.
"Whoops, sorry about that." Shawn gave a sheepish grin, but instead of moving his hand he pushed aside the thin fabric covering her core and shoved two fingers inside. Juliet tried to clamp her legs together to stop the thrusting fingers, but that only made her walls constrict around them and the movement was all the more pleasurable. She relaxed her legs slightly which he took as an invitation to add a third finger to the probing exploration. Sliding her hand over, she grabbed his thigh in a death grip, but that only seemed to turn him on and he started moving his fingers faster.
"Um Juliet, are you sure you're okay? You look a little pale." Scott peered uncertainly at the woman next to him who had her eyes squeezed shut and was biting her lip.
At his words, Juliet let her eyes flutter opened and struggled to respond without letting out a moan or a gasp, which was quite difficult when Shawn kept repeatedly hitting her G-spot. "Yeah, um flying just makes me a little queasy" she lied as she bit the inside of her cheek to keep quiet.
"Oh, well its okay, planes are very safe" Scott replied as he reached for her hand.
Shawn stared in disbelief, but quickly looked back at the TV screen since Scott was supposed to think he was watching the movie. He let his thumb wander up and start massaging her clit, he watched out of the corner of his eye to see if his little trick would have the desired effect. He grinned in triumph as his thumb's gentle rubbing made her twitch just as Scott closed his hand around hers.
"Sorry" Scott's face fell at the rejection as he withdrew his hand.
"No, no it's not your fault, I was just surprised." She glanced over her shoulder to shoot Shawn a dirty look but he was innocently staring at the TV screen while his hand continued to do naughty, tantalizing things to her core.
"So, um, do you have a boyfriend or something?"
Juliet, who had been leaning back with eyes shut to focus all her attention on not releasing an animalistic groan, hadn't heard Scott's statement. Her attention was refocused by the cessation of motion by Shawn's hand. Blinking her eyes open, she noticed Scott looking at her expectantly. "I'm sorry, what did you say?"
Scott looked down in embarrassment before looking back at her "Uh, I asked if you had a boyfriend."
Upon hearing his question, Juliet realized why Shawn had stopped. She sighed as she realized she was going to have to be extra careful in her wording to avoid hurting either man. "Well not technically" She noticed Scott's relief and felt Shawn's exasperation as the muscles in his hand tightened "but I am kind of seeing someone right now."
"Clearly he's not that great though if he hasn't asked you to be his girlfriend though" Scott added in optimistically.
Juliet shook her head "No he's pretty amazing, there are just a lot of obstacles that we have to work through." Shawn had apparently been appeased by her statement and started thrusting his fingers inside her again; this time his movements were more rapidly and he made sure to firmly hit her G-spot every few seconds.
"Well that can't be a good sign to have obstacles before you're even together." Juliet grimaced at how the man was trying to talk her out of the relationship. Shawn had apparently chosen to take out his frustration at Scott on Juliet as he attacked her clit and shoved his fingers in and out of her core more forcefully.
"I'm sure it will work out, he's really into me" Juliet was unable to resist the stupid little pun. Shawn clearly enjoyed it too because he took the opportunity to show just how far into her he could go; Juliet gasped and then clenched her jaw shut as the orgasm hit. She reached around under the blanket to find his leg again and clamped down to keep herself silent. He kept swirling his fingers inside of her until the last wave of her orgasm subsided and her walls loosened their tight hold on his fingers. Withdrawing his hand, he took the paper napkin on his tray to discreetly dry his fingers. Juliet stared in shock at the cup on his tray and wondered how in the world she had missed the flight attendants coming around with the drink cart. Snatching his drink, she downed it in one gulp.
Scott eyed her curiously for her slightly rude action, "Oh um, Shawn doesn't mind" she responded casually with a dismissive wave of her hand.
Shawn shrugged "Yeah, somehow everything of mine always ends up in her mouth."
"Huh you didn't used to be like that" Scott responded, completely oblivious to the double entendre Shawn just made. She glanced over at Shawn and pinched him under the blanket when she noticed the amused smirk on his face.
"Well how about that. Jules, any reason your mouth prefers my stuff?"
"I'm sorry I didn't know it bothered you that much, I promise it won't happen again." Juliet replied with a satisfied smirk.
"NO! I don't mind!" Shawn replied hastily "You can have whatever you want!"
Juliet smiled while Scott gave Shawn another confused glance: Shawn really was the weirdest guy he knew.
"Well what I want right now is to watch the movie" she pointed to the TV screen and pulled out her headphones. The two guys did the same since there was no other choice since they weren't going to talk to each other. She felt a little guilty about not talking to Scott since she did miss him as a friend, but she really couldn't take any more of Shawn's torment if he got jealous again. As she relaxed into her seat to enjoy the movie, she felt Shawn reach over and take her hand. It wasn't until she heard the startled reaction next to her that she realized their hands were not under the blanket. "Um it's an automatic reaction for Shawn; he has...uh...separation issues."
"Yep" Shawn agreed, not caring what explanation she gave as long as she didn't pull away; his thumb traced small circles on her hand as he smiled smugly as Scott.
Scott nodded, he wasn't sure whether to believe the justification or not but he averted his eyes because he definitely didn't want to see their clasped hands anymore. However, after that display he couldn't focus on the movie and eventually fell asleep.
When Juliet noticed Scott sleeping, she leaned over to whisper to Shawn "You are in so much trouble for what you did."
Giving her innocent puppy dog eyes, Shawn decided to play dumb "What did I do?"
"Oh you're going to remember by the time I'm through with you."
"That doesn't even make sense, are you going to turn all mad scientist on me and mess around with my brain until I remember?"
She shot him an annoyed glance and crossed her arms in irritation.
"I'm sorry baby," Shawn whispered stroking her arm soothingly "I'm very scared of whatever punishment you have in store for me" he gave her a devilish grin and leaned over to nibble on her earlobe.
"Fine you're forgiven, but you can't do that here" she hissed as she shoved him away.
Shawn obeyed and gave her a final gentle kiss on her cheek before leaning back. "Oh and Jules, just so there's no more confusion…I want you to be my girlfriend."
Juliet stared at him and quickly searched his face to see if there was any trace of teasing: there wasn't. "Well that's good because I want to be your girlfriend."
"Really?!"
She nodded and grinned, leaning over to give him a quick kiss. He wrapped an arm around her and she cuddled into his chest. For the rest of the flight they enjoyed the movie with Juliet leaning happily into Shawn's embrace as he occasionally stole a kiss or played with her hair.
When the pilot announced their decent, Scott awoke and Juliet scrambled out of Shawn's grasp. The trio sat silently as the plane landed and Shawn wordlessly handed Juliet her bag from the overhead compartment. She could see that familiar impish smile though and was suddenly worried about what was going to happen. Nervously, she followed him off the plane and waited for the moment he would enact whatever plan he was forming.
He was quiet all the way too baggage claim which only worried Juliet more. When they finally left the airport, Scott turned to Juliet and pulled her into a tight hug "Bye Juliet, I can't wait for our meeting in 4 months." Juliet stared at him in confusion until she remembered how they had planned to meet after a year at the train station. Before she could respond, Shawn cut in.
"Actually Scott, I don't think that's going to happen. Juliet just agreed to be my girlfriend." He possessively wrapped an arm around her as a feverish blush stained her cheeks. "But the best luck to you dude, I'm sure you'll find someone soon." He gave the stunned man a wave as he led Jules over to an empty taxi.
As soon as she got over her shock, she slapped him in the chest. "Shawn I can't believe you just did that!"
"What? Did I say anything that wasn't true?"
"Well, no, but you didn't need to hurt him."
"Come one, you're my girlfriend now; I can't have him having little fantasies about getting back together with you."
"You're just jealous" she replied but couldn't stop her smile at how much she liked having a jealous boyfriend.
"No I'm not" Shawn grumbled.
She leaned over and kissed him; when she broke away for air she whispered "I kind of like it."
"Well in that case, I don't think I want you to talk to him ever again, or any other ex boyfriend" he pulled her in for another kiss.
The taxi driver cleared his throat to interrupt the horny couple "So where am I taking you?"
"Georgetown Cupcake and then to the Westin on M Street" Shawn replied, unashamed while Juliet looked down sheepishly after being caught.
He noticed the questioning glance his girlfriend was giving him, "What Jules they have totally fantastic cupcakes, don't tell me you don't want cupcakes." He gave her a dazzling grin and pulled her into his embrace as the taxi drove off. `
