I Do not own psych but i totally wish i did because it's amazing.
ok so this is set right after Shawn and Juliet go on vacation and Gus finds the engagement ring.
Shawn and Gus sat in the Psych office. Gus was working on the computer, while Shawn sat back in a chair playing Angry Birds. He was so wrapped up in the game he didn't even hear Gus say his name the first few times.
"Hold a second buddy I'm about to beat my high score" Shawn finally answered him without looking up.
"Shawn!" he yelled at him.
"Oh come on man I was so close. What is it?" he asked. But then Shawn noticed it his DS that he thought was stolen. It was sitting on Gus's desk. "Oh… they found my DS? Why didn't you give it back to me?"
"Because I found what you had hidden inside. You didn't propose without it did you? And how could you not tell me you were planning on asking Juliet to marry you?"
"I tried to tell you before we went and I left you like six voicemails! Besides when we were talking she told me she wasn't ready to get married anyway. I don't want to propose right after that and make her feel like I'm rushing her."
"Yea not to mention the fact that you shouldn't get married to someone who still doesn't know your biggest secret" Gus stated matter-of-factly, and Shawn knew it was the truth. He just put his head in his hands.
"I know, you're right. But you don't understand… when I tell her she's going to completely freak out. I can't really blame her though, I have been lying to her for over 5 years. I've thought about telling her a million times but there is just no easy way to do it. I really don't wanna lose her man…" Shawn said looking up at Gus for the first time. He looked distressed, and Gus could tell he was serious about this. "What should I do? I just keep putting it off and hoping she'll just know without me having to tell her. It's like telling a kid there's no such thing as Santa. One second they trust you, and then all of a sudden you're the bad guy for making it up."
"Well first of all you shouldn't use the Santa analogy it might just make her more mad." Gus joked "I don't know though. She probably will freak out there's no way around that…"
"Thanks for making me feel better Gus… unless… I've got to go. I have an idea!" Shawn said before jumping up and rushing toward the door.
"Shawn wait" Gus called after him "what is it?" Shawn stopped.
"It's so simple. I just have to make sure I can explain everything to her before she gets the chance to be mad at me"
"How exactly are you going to do that? It better not be too crazy. You do realize that you're dating a girl who carries a gun right?"
Shawn just waved his hand dismissively "Nah… she wouldn't shoot me with that gun. She'd have to fill out paperwork about why she discharged her weapon..." he said with an expression that had 'duh' written all over it. "And my idea isn't crazy… it might be a little cheesy but it's the only plan I've come up with that has potential to work."
"How cheesy?" Gus asked.
"Exceptionally," Shawn replied with the biggest grin on his face "I'm going to write her a very heartfelt letter explaining everything to her. That way, she'll have to read all of my reasons before we get into a huge fight about it."
