Takes place after 0613, with spoilers for Extradition 2. And maybe a bit of Extradition 1 for background knowledge

If I owned Psych, what would I be doing here? I'd be off writing the Shules wedding day episode. *dreams on*

Midnight Ramblers

"God, today was amazing!" Shawn exclaimed as he jumped onto his girlfriend's bed. Juliet shook her head at his snide comment- the amazing part being, naturally, that he had 'psychically' come to the conclusion of their latest case before (as Shawn affectionately called the Head Detective of the SBPD) Lassie. As always. No offence to her partner, of course.

"You're never going to stop having that bloated ego when you solve a case first, are you?"

"Sweetheart," Shawn started as he tucked Juliet's hair behind her ear, "if it hasn't gone away after six plus years, you really think it ever will?"

"Lassie sure hopes so," Juliet winced as she called her partner by her boyfriend's nickname for him. If she slipped this at work she'd be so dead.

"Lassie-bear talks about me at work? Awww... I always knew the guy had a soft spot for me, but this is just too...too... awww Wassie, you shouldn't. You really don't have to."

"Firstly, no, Shawn, he just keeps on whining to me about you. It's getting quite annoying actually; I mean he knows that we're dating after all. And secondly, stop stealing my pill- urgh!" Juliet lunged- and failed- to take back her pillow from a now-cheekily smiling Shawn.

"Come on, Jules. You know that Ash likes me more than you,"

"What did I tell you about naming the pillows, Shawn?"

"I didn't intend to Jules, honestly. But they started getting so jealous after they found out about my deep and impenetrable bond with Mickey the Microwave and they wouldn't let me sleep at night. Kept giving me bad dreams until I christened them, too. After all I onl- HEY!" Shawn's distraction had proved costly for him- Juliet had

taken back her pillow and was hugging it tightly. Never one to concede defeat, Shawn jumped on her and started tickling her mercilessly, ignoring her squeals for him to stop. Naturally, this led to an all out pillow fight between the two, that turned into a full-fledged make out session in no time.

Later, as a heavily-panting Juliet turned over to finally get some sleep, she shivered, feeling Shawn's breath on her neck. "No, Shawn, I told you. Not tonight."

"Huh? Oh, no, no. I just wanted to ask you, you happen to know any nice countries without extradition agreements with the US?"

Still facing away from Shawn, Juliet's eyes narrowed. "And the reason you would be asking me this is..."

"Oh, you know, to... erm... go on er... you know, vacation?" Shawn mentally cursed himself for turning the statement into more of a question. "Yeah, vacation. Since the thingy at Ojai didn't turn out well, I was thinking maybe if we go to a non-extraditing country, there will surely be no cases interrupting us? Like not even having to help transport any random person back to the States and, er, yeah, you know, erm..." His flustering only served to further confirm what Juliet had been thinking.

"You want to see Despereaux again, don't you?"

"Nooo," Shawn's over-enunciation faded off when he saw his girlfriend's glare. "Maybe? Kinda. Okay, fine. Yes. I want to see Dessie again. I miss that guy. He's a really nice person once to get to know him."

"I'm sure he is, Shawn. Wait, you call him Dessie?"

"Yes Jules, yes I do. And he calls me Shawn. Anyway, he is an amazing person. You should get to know him as a friend, Jules. Not as a fugitive-slash-criminal you and Lassie have been trying to hunt down for years. Well, mostly Lassie but still."

Juliet's obvious lack of an enthusiastic response only caused Shawn to try harder.

"You know, I'm sure he'll be much nicer to you if you aren't witch-hunting him like the last time and he doesn't have to hide from you when you unexpectedly turn up at the hote- er, you know the, er, crap."

"It was Despereaux? Wow, okay. I did notexpect that. Though looking back I should have thought about it sooner. That… that's a twist."

"Ooops?"

"What? Oh no, Shawn. It's good, you know. I always wanted to know why you were so elusive that day, but I didn't want to ask you directly. Despereaux actually makes sense."

"Exactly!" Shawn bounced back. "See? He's making our lives better already! Whadya think will happen if we become even closer than ever before?"

"No. Shawn, no. You are not getting any funny ideas. And we are most certainly not going to any extradition-less country anytime soon. You and Despereaux can just talk via Skype or something." Juliet kissed her boyfriend's pout briefly and turned back to sleep, only to be scooped up into his arms again. Moaning, she turned around to face him. "What?"

"Nothing. Just wanted to say I love you." Shawn's lips ghosted over her shoulder. "Night Jules."

"Love you too, Shawn."

Yup That's about it for today! The next update (if my writing deserves to be read by others) will come... soon.

This is my first Psych and Shules story, so please review and me how I did!
