Notes: Part 2/sequel to 'Wasn't Expecting That,' the previous Gus/Juliet drabble in which Gus tries to clear up a few things.


"Shawn, I need to talk to you," Gus stormed into the Psych office that morning determined to let his best friend know that he was going to fight him for Juliet.

He knew Shawn flirted with Juliet and thought that his best friend should have the right to know that he had competition for her affections now, especially considering what he and Juliet had done last night (and here his cheeks started burning) might get back to Shawn later.

(He and Juliet didn't agree to keep their hook up a secret, but Gus was definitely thinking that it would be better for all involved if Shawn never found out.)

Shawn looked up from the contraption he was making that'd automatically bring them drinks from the fridge. "Go head, buddy."

"Well, um, something happened last night that I feel you should know about."

"Don't wet your pants, Gus, I know you and Juliet went home together last night and did the nasty." Shawn didn't sound angry or bitter, but kind of happy and Gus was confused.

"Wait, I don't get it. Don't you like Juliet as well?"

"Yeah, I do, she's awesome! But not like that, dude."

Gus visibly relaxed, his hunched shoulders drooping. That was a tense situation diverted.

Shawn started up again, "Besides, you two are better suited for each other than me and her anyways."

"Shawn, you know I don't think that's true."

"Awww, come on, Gussy, you don't have to try to make me feel better. Anyways, you don't have to worry about my romantic overtures. I can't tell you all the details because it's all very hush-hush right now, but rest assured my bed is hardly empty on most nights and I don't mean that in a platonic way.

Gus rolled his eyes, of course.

It looked as though he didn't have anything to worry about.
