It's been a few weeks and I've been having a mental block when it comes to Psych fanfiction.

Since I'm a sucker for Shules fluff, here's a fanfic with a lot of it. : ) Might be my first multi-chapter story.

Summary: When a case threatens Juliet's safety, Shawn takes matters into his own hands. Sorry I suck at summaries, hopefully better than it sounds.

I DO NOT OWN PSYCH OR THE CHARACTERS. EVERYTHING BELONGS TO THEIR RESPECTFUL OWNERS.

Juliet looked up at her partner standing before her desk.

"Yes Carlton?" She asked, impatient. Juliet was flooded with paperwork from their last case and didn't have much time to do it.

Lassiter didn't say a word, only dropped something onto her lap and turned away.

Curious about Lassiter's actions, Juliet picked up the object and stared down at it.

"What the..."

It was a photo of her and Shawn together. He had his arm around Juliet's shoulders. She was sipping from a smoothie cup.

"It was found on the front steps here ten minutes ago. No trace of fingerprints. Nothing." Lassiter faced his partner.

"Whoever left the photo included a note. It read..." He paused. "It read 'I can't have her. So why should anyone else?'" Juliet shuddered and looked Lassiter straight into his eyes.

"O'Hara, somebody's been stalking you. And they're going to try to kill you."

"Gus, it's my turn to be player one! You got to be it last time!" Shawn tried to wrestle the controller out of his friend's hands. They were seated in the Psych office

"No way Shawn! You bought this TV with my credit card. I could return it right now!"

"Sorry buddy, I threw the receipt away."

"You did not!"

"I did too-"

Their quarrel was cut short by the Psych office door opening.

"Hi sweetheart!" Shawn smiled at Juliet.

"Hello Juliet. Well, I have to work on a presentation for my boss." Gus laughed to himself at his quick excuse to leave before grabbing the Blueberry keys and exiting.

"Jules! What's on your mind? I thought you were at work."

"I was. But Chief decided to give me the rest of the day off." Juliet reached to her back pocket, running her finger around a copy of the photo.

"That's great! What do you wanna do? We could watch a movie. Oh! How about the Breakfast Club?"

"I came here about something serious." Shawn's smile disappeared.

Juliet pulled the copy out of her pocket and handed it to Shawn, who reluctantly took it.

"Us..." He trailed off.

"This photo was found outside the SBPD, on the steps. There was a note attached." Juliet said quietly. She repeated what Lassiter had told her out loud.

When Juliet finished, she stepped towards Shawn. For the first time, she heard him struggle with words.

"I... uh... remember... remember that day when I promised," Shawn looked down at his hands, lacing them together. "I promised I'd protect you?"

Juliet nodded.

"Well, that wasn't a lie Jules. I want to stay with you, at your house, until we catch this guy. Please?"

She gave Shawn a small smile.

"Yeah. Sure. Ok."
