Ok, as promised some Shassie love! But just because I had to, also some Shassie angst! Because nothing can be easy when Lassiter and Shawn are involved
Shawn groaned and threw a pillow at Lassiter. "Again?"
Lassiter glared at him. "Yes."
The two had decided to pass the remote to each other when one show was done. The result was Shawn would pick a show, then Lassiter, then Shawn, and so on. And it seemed that Lassiter watched nothing except Cops. That didn't go over so well with Shawn.
"Honestly, this is supposed to be fun!" Shawn whined. "Watching people do dumb things and get caught is not fun."
Lassiter rolled his eyes and turned the volume up, smiling on the inside. Shawn was becoming less and less annoying and more and more charmi—less annoying. Shawn stuck out his lower lip and crossed his arm. He was the perfect image of a whiny kid who didn't get his way.
Lassiter looked at Shawn out of the corner of his eye. His pout was sooo hard to ignore. Lassiter tossed the remote at the younger man.
"Fine, but if you pick another cartoon I'll get out my gun."
Shawn grinned and snatched up the remote. "Deal."
His fingers expertly pressed the buttons and Lassiter thought that he'd do very well at professional channel surfing. Finally, with a mischievous grin, Shawn clicked on smoothing. Lassiter saw a flash of the Disney logo and gulped. Crap. What had he gotten himself into?
"Shawn…" He growled.
Shawn laughed. "You said no cartoons, and it's not. Trust me Lass, you'll love this."
And that is exactly how Lassiter knew he wouldn't like it.
"At least tell me what it is."
Shawn bit his lip to keep from laughing. "High School Musical."
Lassiter had no idea what that was, but the 'musical' part was enough for his eyes to widen in horror. Shawn couldn't help the giggle that escaped.
"It isn't going to be that bad."
Despite the reassurance, Lassiter slumped against the back of the couch and tried to mentally prepare himself for a musical of all things. How does one prepare themselves for that though? For a trial he'd go shoot something first (only sometimes that thing would be a target board) but for this, what could he do?
"Oh god help me."
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Lassiter could swear his iq level was dropping at an alarming pace, and yet he still found himself glued to the screen. At the end he actually found himself smiling a little.
"Awww! Lassie liked it!"
"Shut up!"
Shawn maneuvered around Little Boy Cat 2 so he was sitting by the older man. "You did. It's ok to admit it. It was cute."
"Things like that don't happen in real life." He got out. He couldn't bring himself to either deny of agree with what Shawn said.
"Happy endings sometimes do."
"There are no happy endings."
LBC 2's fluffy head shot up. Meow? Shawn grabbed him and cuddled him. "They do too! Don't listen to Mr. Grumpy!" LBC 2 purred in acceptance.
Lassiter sighed, irritated. Shawn narrowed his eyes. "Ok glass-half-empty-man what's wrong with you? Happy endings aren't supposed to piss people off, in case you didn't get the memo."
The detective looked away. "Nothing's wrong."
"Bull crap!"
"Happy endings like that prove how screwed up real life is."
Shawn inched closer and set LBC 2 down. "Is this about Victoria?"
Lassiter avoided looking at Shawn at all costs.
"Geez! Lassie, look at me."
The head detective didn't
"Carlton, look at me!"
Reluctantly his eyes locked on Shawn's.
"Victoria wasn't the right person for you. God, if she was stupid enough to let you go I'm surprised you even wanted her at all. Thought you'd want someone who wasn't stupid."
Lassiter's eyes widened and Shawn's did too once he realized what he said. "You think she was stupid for letting me go."
Shawn blushed slightly. "Well, yeah."
"Why?"
Shawn leaned his eyes back and now took Lassiter's previous position of avoiding eyes like they were the plague. "Well, you're a good cop, smart, and….cute."
Lassiter choked on air. "Cute?"
Shawn turned even redder. "Well, I guess more hot than cute."
Lassiter's breath caught as Shawn looked up and their eyes met. Shawn was blushing deeply, and Lassiter had no doubt he was too. They just stared at each other for a couple seconds before they leaned closer.
Their lips pressed together, and Shawn smiled around the kiss. Lassiter brought one hand to Shawn's neck while the other held him up as Shawn laid back. LBC 2 quietly slipped away, not waiting to disturb them.
Shawn's tongue pushed back Lassiter's teeth with no resistance. Lassiter was surprised at how perfectly the two fit together. How perfect they were. The two men made out, getting to know every inch of each other's lips and mouths. It wasn't until Shawn's hands started to undo the top button of Lassiter's shirt that things went wrong.
Lassiter instantly recoiled, practically jumping off the couch and away from the fake psychic. Shawn sat up almost as fast. His eyes showed pain and fear. He was scared of what Lassiter might say, and how bad this could go. Lassiter's eyes betrayed nothing. He slipped into his cop mask.
Lassiter turned around, making his way to his bedroom, or the door, he didn't know yet. Shawn jumped up and grabbed his arm to stop him.
"Hey! What's wrong?"
Lassiter yanked his arm away and took a few more steps. "Leave me alone."
Shawn ran out in front of him, furious. "You can't just leave and pretend this didn't happen!"
"It didn't happen." He snapped.
Shawn's mouth dropped open as Lassiter brushed past him. He went to the nearest escape route – the door that lead outside.
Shawn blinked back tears as he tried to mask the hurt he felt. Did Lassiter really not care? "No."
Lassiter turned around, confused. "What?"
"This is your house. I'll leave. It's obvious you don't want me here." Shawn made it to the door quickly. His hand was on the doorknob before Lassiter could speak.
"Wait, Shawn-"
"Screw you."
Lassiter was left completely shocked as the man he liked walked out the door. Little Boy Cat 2 scrambled past, and made it out the door just before Shawn shut it. The last thing Lassiter heard was a loud hiss.
Ok, on one hand I loved this, and on the other I didn't....please tell me if I did ok on the slight love scene....it's kind of the first time actually not saying something like 'they kissed'.....did it suck? Was it ok?
Second, I tried to put in humor, love, and angst, and I dunno if I did ok :S And Lass kinda got moody too fast I think
So, please tell me if I did good or bad! PLEASE!!!
