Disclaimer: I don't own these wonderful characters... just the plot. I just play with them and hope to return them in one piece.

Rating: T just to be very safe.

Warning: subtle slash. Shawn/Lassi


Carlton Lassiter woke up to an empty bed early one Saturday morning. He cringed as he heard Spongebob's laugh echo across the apartment. He turned over onto his stomach and tugged his pillow on top of his head to block out the sound.

"Shawn!" his voice was muffled. "Why on Earth do you watch that inane cartoon?!"

Lassiter didn't know whether Shawn had turned off the TV or had merely muted it, but in any case, Lassiter didn't want to bash in with his bedside lamp anymore.

All of a sudden, the pillow got tugged off his head. Lassiter looked up to see his boyfriend's unusually somber expression. "But Lassi!" Shawn whined. "He lives in a pineapple house!"

Lassiter stared up at Shawn, then groaned and rolled over. Behind his back, Shawn grinned.
