A/N: For all those who have reviewed, thank you so much! It makes it very worthwhile to keep writing these. We're halfway there! WARNING: THIS IS A REFLECTIVE CHAPTER AGAIN. Reviews make the world go 'round. :) So, review away.
EDIT: So a reviewer pointed out a slightly sketchy line. Thank you so much, it is now off of there. :)
5). Even Henry knows.
Henry has been suspecting his son for a while now.
His random visits concerning relationships to his now-exceptional smile set the older Spencer off on his son.
The Shawn that he's known has always been looking for someone, but has been too scared to admit when he likes someone and always runs away. It just scares the retired officer a little bit that his son hasn't run away yet. Because unless this is just a whole string of one night stands gone crazy…
But Henry knows that somehow, Lassiter won't let him leave.
Henry knows that Shawn is fully aware of his Lassie's paranoia.
Henry knows that Shawn could have (and would have) left about ten times in the course of their first two months together, to figure out not only himself, but his relationship.
Henry knows that Shawn hasn't left because his son holds Lassiter's heart in his hands. (That damn, manipulative bastard. Son, I mean SON.)
Henry knows that somehow, Lassiter makes his son happy and complete.
Henry knows that Lassiter will try to never ever let anything bad happen to Shawn. Because if he did, the head detective would find himself in the hospital. Very, very quickly.
Henry knows that Shawn is head over heels in love with Lassiter, and vice versa.
And…
Strangely, he's alright with it.
But at this point, he's more worried about Lassiter than Shawn. Which is, in a word, concerning.
