Hey guys! I'm so sorry I haven't updated for a while! Hopefully this makes up for it! This prompt was from: Psychic101! Also, I got a couple of reviews saying that Juliet wouldn't cry over breaking up. I agree, it just fit with the story. But thank you for letting me know anyway. Also, the next story (hopefully posted today or soon! But not this weekend because I'll be camping!) goes with this story, just so you know. Now, enjoy!
Prompt: Bunnies
"But Jules! It's so cute, I NEED it!" Shawn Spencer complained loudly, so that people around looked at him.
"Shawn, be quiet people are staring!" said his girlfriend of over a year, looking up at him with a glare.
"Jules, c'mon, I know you think it's cute too," he said softer, his eyes shaping into large, clear puppy dog eyes, pleading with her to change her mind.
She sighed. She couldn't compete with those eyes. "Fine. But you have to take care of it okay? Like feed it and stuff alright Shawn?" she said, feeling like she was talking to a 10 year old getting his new puppy. He nodded eagerly, just like that 10 year old would have. Of course, most of the time he acted like he was ten anyways.
"I will Jules I promise! I'm gonna name him Carrots, because he obviously loves carrots! And oh I should go get him a bed! C'mon Carrots lets go get your new bed!" he continued with his ramble as he left to find the perfect bed for his brand new little bunny.
The blonde smiled and sat down on the bench to wait for him, watching as his clumsy feet found themselves tripping over his shoelace, while his hands held the bunny above his head so it didn't get squished beneath him.
"You know what? I really like Carrots," Shawn Spencer declared as they drove home from the shop.
"I'm sure you do Shawn," she said, a trace of laughter in her voice.
"Do you think maybe he could sleep with us tonight?" he asked hopefully.
This time she actually did laugh. "Shawn, you are such a child!"
When she didn't hear the normal, 'I know' or 'You Know That's Right' she worriedly glanced over at him. He was looking down at his lap, absentmindedly petting Carrots.
"Shawn?" she said softly.
"Yeah?" said the pseudo psychic, even quieter than her.
"What's wrong?" she said, finally finding somewhere to pull over.
"Nothing."
"Shawn, do I look stupid?" she said turning to face him.
His head jerked up. "What-no-I just meant, no. I'm sorry-I didn't mean that-"
"Shawn!" she said interrupting him forcefully. Something was obviously bothering him and she was going to figure it out.
"Sorry," the brunette mumbled.
"Don't be sorry. Please just come with me okay?" she said softer this time. They unbuckled and got out of the car. They had stopped at a rest stop with a nice park to walk through. The leaves were falling, the wind carrying them dizzily around the air and finally landing gently onto the pond, the water rippling into eternity.
He took her hand, as she laid her head on his shoulder. They walked in silence for a few minutes, the wind blowing around them. They sat down on a bench and watched as a little squirrel scurried around, nibbling on bits of food dropped by little kids with sticky fingers.
She finally let go of his hand and took her head off of his shoulder to get a better look at him. "Shawn please tell me what's wrong. I can help you through it I promise."
He looked at her intensely, like it was the last time he would ever see her face, memorizing every freckle, every inch of it. "Shawn," she whispered.
He stood up and turned back around to face her again. And then he got down on his knee. "Jules," he mumbled as her hands flew to her mouth, tears forming in her crystal blue eyes. "Jules, I know you think I'm a child, a kid, and sometimes a nuisance. But I can-no I will change, for you, and, I-I want to grow up. I really do! And I know I can't live without you. I've known it for years. And, and, Juliet O'Hara, will you marry me, if I'll grow up?"
Her mind was swirling, she couldn't think. What was she supposed to say? "Jules?" he asked, snapping her out of her daze.
"Shawn. Shawn, yes, and please don't grow up all the way, please!" she cried as she fell down to her knees and hugged him. He sighed in relief and kissed her temple.
"I won't. I won't if you don't want me to."
They stayed that way for a few minutes until Juliet looked up into his hazel eyes and leaned forward to kiss him. He captured her lips and kissed her, all of his emotion pouring out. When they took his breath for air he stood up, pulling her up with him. "Thank you," he said.
"No problem," she replied breathing heavily. She wrapped her petite arms around his waist and waited for him to say something.
"Hey Jules?"
"Yeah Shawn?"
"Do you think Carrots is warm in the car?" he asked sounding worried.
She laughed into his chest, glad that the old Shawn, the one that she had fallen in love with, was back.
Oh and I forgot to mention a HUGE thanks to my bestest friend, Brooke (Brooklyn715)! Thank you, thank you! Also, please review and thank you for all the great ones I've gotten!
