Midnight Snacks
Disclaimer: Um… supposedly I don't own Psych or any of the characters in it. Not yet, at least, [insert evil laugh].
Summary: Shawn and Juliet and their midnight rendezvous. Each one-shot centers around food.
Gingerbread Men: "Jules, where are you?" Shawn asked into the phone, a hint of worry coloring his tone.
"Um… I'm almost here. I'll tell you what happened in a second," Juliet said sheepishly, "You are going to die when I tell you. Hold on, I'm pulling up now. See you."
When a second later Shawn heard the dial tone of his phone he moved over to the window of the Psych office so he could watch as Juliet did indeed park her car. She came running into the office with a box of cookies.
"Sorry, I'm late guys," Juliet exclaimed as she looked around at the boxes of Christmas decorations waiting to be used in the office. Tonight Gus, Shawn, and her planned to decorate the Psych office while they waited to see the lunar eclipse.
"No problem Juliet," Gus called out, "From what I've heard we won't be able to see the eclipse until 2ish. And it's not like Shawn has any understanding for the concept of time."
"Hey, that's not fair. I know that it takes exactly 49 hours and 22 minutes to watch all 23 James Bond movies. And you can cut and eat an entire pineapple in 21 minutes," Shawn defended walking towards Juliet so he could wrap an arm around her.
"So what's the story?" he asked kissing her cheekily.
"You know the cookie recipe I called my mom for. Well, I tried to make them, I really did, but I burned them and for some reason they were all salty. The recipe didn't even call for any salt… I shouldn't have tried. It's a fact I can't cook," Juliet explained.
Shawn chuckled and she could hear Gus laughing too. "That's okay, Jules, that's what you have us for now."
"Yeah, well, I stopped by Publix and got some gingerbread men," Juliet said handing the box over to Shawn.
"Oh, I love gingerbread men!" Shawn gasped whisking them away to the couch where he collapsed. Juliet followed him laughing when she saw Gus up on a ladder hanging garland around the room.
"He hasn't helped at all, has he?" she asked pulling a string of lights out of one the boxes.
"No, and he definitely won't now that he has those cookies." Gus glanced over at his best friend. "Thank God you're here now."
"I'll handle the Christmas music," Shawn offered around the head of a gingerbread men.
Hours later Gus and Juliet stood outside staring at the moon each eating a hard earned gingerbread man.
"We did good," Gus said glancing back at the decked out office.
"Oh, yeah this is probably the best decorated place in all of Santa Barbara," Juliet agreed. And it was; they'd even set a little nativity scene out in front of the building and lights were draped everywhere.
"This is amazing too," Gus said admiring the moon again.
"Yeah and it's not happening for another 400 years," Juliet sighed, "I can't believe Shawn fell asleep. Although when I first mentioned it to him he thought I was talking about that vampire movie."
"Typical," Gus laughed. He took another bite of the cookie before saying sincerely, "You know he loves you, right."
She glanced over at Gus surprised at the turn of the conversation. He was a good friend. She smiled. "I know. I love him too."
To Anyone Who Cares: Merry Christmas! or Happy [insert holiday here]! Yea, I'm actually on time for once! So I kind of hurried through this so I'm not sure. I went for a different approach this time with a little Gus/Juliet conversation. Hope you like it though! Remember, for best results read while eating gingerbread men.
