A/N: Okay, so I know the point of the challenge was to see how much you could write in the short time span of one song, but I had this urge to come back and expand all of these to their intended length from the moment I finished it. All it took was a little push from one reviewer, and I was totally sold. If the challenge bits satisfied you, feel free to quit there, but if you thought they needed more, then here you go. Enjoy!
"C'mon Lassie, you know you want one," Shawn pleaded, jogging to catch up with the detective. Curse Lassie's unnaturally long legs. They made it way too easy for the older man to walk away from this conversation.
"I told you already, Shawn, no," Lassiter replied without so much as a glance back to the younger man. He continued walking down the sidewalk, eying a group of teenagers that passed by. Shawn, though, didn't take one no for an answer, so two nos didn't get Lassiter much further. Really, he should've known that by now.
"Awww, but they're so cute and puppy-ish!" Shawn pleaded, not above begging. It had worked well for him in the past and besides, who needed dignity anyway? It just stood in the way of getting what he wanted. He could almost hear the sigh that escaped Lassiter's lips, a surefire sign that he was going to give in just to shut Shawn up.
"I'll think about it," Lassiter said, finally slowing down so his shorter boyfriend could catch up. Falling into step with the detective, Shawn just beamed. It wasn't a straightforward yes, but with a little time, it was just as good as one.
