Notes:I absolutely loved this because Psych is one of my favorite, favorite TV shows. I've been watching it from day one and I still haven't watched the last season cause I don't want it to be over ;-; That being said I had such a hard time coming up with something for this. Levi is stern but he's not hot tempered like Lassie is and my modern AU Eren is normally goofy but he's not arrogant like Shawn can come off (Armin would probably be a good Gus though and just always done with Eren's shit lol and Mikasa is a good mix for Juliet) So I tried to blend as much as I much as I could so they were still true to their characters but still have the fun of the Psych character banter.

If you've never watched Psych the pretense is basically lifetime slacker Shawn is incredibly good at picking up small details no one notices/photographic memory and putting assumptions together to come to a deduction, things he learned from his father who was a cop. Shawn uses the ability to pretend to be a psychic and solve cases for the Santa Barbra PD. Also if you've never watched it please do yourself a favor and do so. The whole series is on Netflix! The title comes from the theme song :3

You Know That I'm Not Telling the Truth

The Sina Police Department was always full of people, activity and noises. It was loud with people talking, shuffling papers around, people unhappy about going to booking or holding cells, and just the bustle of the other officers. It took Mikasa a little bit of time to get used to just how busy this department was from where she worked as an officer in Shigansina before she was promoted to detective. Even from her spot sitting at her desk, her eyes scanning over a few case files and the busy day going on all around her she could still pick up one sound that was more familiar than all others: the distinct sound of sneakers on the tile.

Lots of people wore sneakers in the department, that wasn't unusual. What made this sound stand out was the way the shoes sounded as they got closer, there was an air of carefree confidence in each step and they almost always had smaller softer footsteps trailing behind trying to keep up.

Mikasa found a smile pulling at her lips the moment she saw hands pressed up against her desk. "Good morning, Eren," she said looking up to see the now familiar head of messy brown hair, bright turquoise eyes, tanned skin and toothy smile that always took her breath away as much as she tried not to let him get to her.

"Morning, Mik. How are we this fine day?"

"Just looking over a case," she said, gesturing her hand down over the papers in front of her.

Eren leaned over her desk, so close she could almost feel his breath on her.

"It's a string of car break-ins that-"

"The mechanic," Eren said, pointing at one of the case files. "It's his son that's behind it."

Mikasa arched an eyebrow and opened her mouth to ask him how he knew that but she long learned to trust his hunches. "I'll look into it, thanks."

Eren waved her off leaning back.

"Will you let her do her job for once?" Armin rolled his eyes from his spot next to Eren. "Good morning, Mikasa," he waved.

"Good morning, Armin. Did the chief call you guys in for a case today?" Mikasa slid the papers she was looking over back into the file. "It seems like something's going on in there." She gestured to Chief Smith's closed office door.

"God I hope not," Levi grunted from his desk near Mikasa's. "I've had my fill of you two this past year."

"Levi," Eren said placing his hand over his heart and turning to face Mikasa's partner. "It hurts me in ways you'll never know to hear you say such things."

"Shut your damn mouth, Jaeger."

"How was your date last night, Levi?" Armin said looking as innocent as ever but Mikasa nearly snorted in laughter when she saw that devilish look in his eyes that was all Eren.

"She was very pretty you know, brown hair, glasses," Eren said. "She looked so familiar too….where have I seen her before."

"I wasn't on a date last night," Levi said, his jaw clenched.

"Really, cause the coffee cup your hand is nearly crushing is telling me otherwise."

Levi quickly dropped the cup that was spilling coffee on his hand into the garbage can.

"Levi, where you really not gonna tell us you had a date?" Mikasa asked, leaning her elbow on her desk.

"It's pretty big news, right?" Eren said giving Mikasa a wink that sent stupid chills down her spine. "I didn't even know romance was part of Levi's chemical makeup. Oh! Of course, Dr. Zoe, the mortician."

"Ah, yeah," Armin agreed thoughtfully. "That does make a lot of sense."

"It was not a date. All of you shut the hell up before I get you kicked out," Levi said looking back down to his work but Mikasa could easily tell the boys got him worked up, which was pretty common.

"So you do admit you were out with her," Eren said.

Levi tossed his pen down on the desk. "Fine, you win. How did you even know that?"

Eren reached up to tap his temple earning an eye roll from Levi.

"Give it a rest, Jaeger. I don't know how you do it, but being psychic has nothing to do with it."

Mikasa had to admit it was hard to believe at first even from someone who was much more open minded then well Levi was. Time and time again though Eren proved himself to somehow know things no one else seemed to work out, and most every time it panned out like he said even when it didn't seem like it could be possible. She made her choice to believe him and to trust him and Eren hadn't let her down.

"Can you believe this guy, Mik?" Eren said turning to Mikasa. "How can the two of you be related? You're such a warm ball of sunshine and he's like the weather in the Midwest."

"Seriously?" Levi grunted. "Was that supposed to be an insult?"

"I dunno, Eren," Armin said. "She could probably kick your ass just as fast as Levi could."

"That's incredibly true," Eren said not looking phased in the least. "Are all Ackermans skilled in the art of complete ass whooping?"

Mikasa stood up from her desk to place her case files in her filling cabinet. "I dunno, guess you'll have to find out for yourself."

The smile that pulled at Eren's lips was no less than breathtaking and Mikasa had to look away to make sure she was actually filing the folder correctly.

"For Christ's sake," Levi said. "Why don't you go get a real job like Arlert and stop bothering us when we're supposed to be doing our real jobs."

"I am doing my job, Mik was right the Chief called us down here probably to put us on a case," Eren said leaning his back against Mikasa's desk, hands propping him up.

"I would be at my real job," Armin said and not without a little exasperation. "But someone called in telling my boss my grandma was sick again."

"Oh, Armin." Mikasa always liked Armin. He was quiet and meek at first but once you spent two minutes in the room with him and Eren it was clear he was probably only still alive or out of jail because of Armin. He came up with answers nearly as fast as Eren did but Armin knew how to keep Eren in line, as best as someone could keep Eren in line Mikasa supposed. "I'm so sorry to hear that. Will she be okay?"

"Thanks, Mikasa, I appreciate it but my grandma's been dead since I was two years old," Armin said jabbing his elbow into Eren's rib cage, who was trying not to laugh.

"What? They don't have to know she's dead," Eren exclaimed when Armin went for him again. "Besides this is important! Chief sounded all formal on the phone and everything."

"The Chief always sounds formal," Levi said. "He's a professional remember? Unlike someone in this room."

Eren looked thoughtfully to Armin. "Can you be a professional psychic?"

"Maybe if you're Miss Cleo."

"Have I reached Miss Cleo levels yet?"

"No, you don't have ads running on late night TV."

"Yet you mean."

"Boys," Mikasa said holding her hands up to get them to stop talking. "Wasn't Miss Cleo a fake anyway?"

"What's the difference then?" Levi snorted.

"I'm deeply offended, Levi," Eren said. "Deeply wounded by your words."

All and all it was a typical visit from Eren and Armin and Mikasa found herself looking forward to this part of the day almost every day. Levi said something back that made Armin agree with him, in turn making Eren turn on Armin. Mikasa tried not to laugh, tried to keep her composure but it was nearly impossible. She came from a little town to a big city and that was already jarring enough but once she got used to the city her whole world got turned upside down again by Eren Jaeger, the carefree son of a very well-known and respected mortician of Sina PD.

Eren almost always knew what to say and even when he didn't he could still make her laugh harder than she had in years. Life was never the same after her parents were killed. Her world was so dim and bleak from that moment on, even years and years later when her cousin Levi got her a job with him to get her out of the town that plagued her Mikasa's life since she was nine years old nothing changed. She was still doing her job, still searching for her parent's killers like it was the only joy she had in life. Then Eren walked in, sneakers sliding against the tile floor, huge grin on his face, and her life got a little brighter; he made her want to smile.

She even after a year of knowing him and becoming friends with him (and ignoring any quickly growing feelings for the boy with the bright eyes she may or may not have) she still was debating on asking him about her parent's case. They were friends, and she didn't want him to think that she was using him for his abilities but she was a good cop, and Levi was an even better cop and neither of them every found any leads on who it was.

"Hey, Mikasa?Everything okay?"

Mikasa blinked up at Eren who was leaning over her desk again, forehead furrowed in concern. "Yeah, yeah, I just zoned out," she waved him off but Eren didn't quite look convinced. Maybe it would be okay to ask? They had been friends for a while now. Her heart leapt up into her throat but she tried not to show it. "Actually," she started, reaching a shaking hand back into her filing cabinet where she kept her copies of the case files for parent's murder. "Could I talk to you for a second?"

"Course, Mik, anything for you," Eren said, that reassuring smile back on his lips.

Mikasa tried to ignore Levi's eyes on her, knowing he'd recognize the worn out file she always had with her. She led Eren down back near where the evidence room was, knowing it wasn't quite as crowded and the less people knew about what she was asking the better. The folder was tight in her hands when she turned to face him. It wasn't exactly like she enjoyed having to tell the story; even after all these years she still had nightmares of that one night. "I was just wondering if I could ask you a favor," she said, biting down at her lower lips. "You can say no, it's okay. I don't want you to feel like you have to do something for m-" She cut off when he put his hands on her shoulders.

"Mikasa," he said still smiling at her. "Relax, if there's something I can do to help you, you know I'd love to."

She nodded, her pounding heart less from what she was gonna ask but more from his close proximity to her. She passed him the file and he flipped it open, the papers she had long ago memorized laying out in his hands. "I was nine years old when my parents were killed. It's been nearly fifteen years and we still haven't found any leads on who did it. Not me, not Levi, not the Chief, not anyone in my old department or the officers who were there when it happened."

Eren was quiet as he looked over the papers. Even Mikasa saw the way his face fell when he read over the file even if he tried to hide it. "Oh, Mik, you were there when it happened."

She nodded, blinking back the images that were so clear it was like it was yesterday. "It's been fifteen years and I was hoping maybe you could look over it? Maybe see if sense anything no one else did? You've done so much for the department and for me; I just thought maybe you could help."

Eren shut the file in his hands, signature smile back on his face. "Of course I can. Would it be okay if I went over it with Armin too? Maybe my dad?"

"Oh, yes, of course." She breathed a sigh of relief. "Do whatever you need to. Thank you, Eren, it really means a lot to me."

He waved her off. "No thanks needed. I'd do anything for you."

Mikasa had a hard time biting back a smile at his words and he seemed to notice, a different type of glint shinning in his eyes.

He opened his mouth to say something and Mikasa found herself practically leaning into him waiting for what he was gonna say.

"Hey, buddy, I don't mean to interrupt," Armin said looking a little bit sheepish from the end of the hall. "But the Chief is ready for us."

Mikasa straightened her back trying to stop heat rushing up to her face.

"Yeah, alright," Eren said. He started to follow Armin back up to where the Chief's office was but he stopped short, turning back to Mikasa. "Hey, come over to the office tonight. We'll look over it together and fill Armin in, okay?" He waved the file in case she didn't know what he was referring too.

It wasn't the first time she was down at their office but her heart still leapt up into her throat anyway. "Yeah, okay. I'll come by when I get off work."

"Sounds good," he said, walking backwards towards Armin. "See you then, Mik."

"See you then," she said before Armin grabbed a hold of the back of Eren's shirt, dragging him around the corner.

"Are you sure that was smart of you?"

Mikasa didn't even see Levi come to stand next to her but really that wasn't too much of a surprise. She didn't bother looking at him. "It was my choice and I trust him."

"I didn't mean about your parent's file."

When Mikasa did look over to Levi was standing with his arms crossed against his chest watching Mikasa carefully. She opened her mouth to ask him what he was talking about but he cut her off before she could.

"Don't give me that look. I see how he looks at you, how you look at him. You never let people in as easily as you let him in, so I'm telling you right now, be careful."

She wanted to tell him that she was an adult and capable of her own decisions but was there for her when she was left alone and every since. She knew he was just trying to look out for her. "Okay, I will."

Levi snorted. "No, you won't but thanks for humoring me. Not that I won't take great pleasure in breaking every bone in that brat's body if I have to."

"Oh, stop it," Mikasa rolled her eyes. She knew when Levi hated someone and as much as he pretended, Levi didn't hate Eren. He was more like an annoying little brother Levi never had and well, probably never wanted. "Wanna go eavesdrop and see if the Chief is giving them a good case or not?"

Levi's lips twitched and she knew it was close enough to a smile from him. "First one who can understand what the case is gets the head start on solving it before them."

"Deal."
