craftylildoodlepumpkinJuliet is in the middle of her step-areobics session when her cell phone starts to buzz. She picks it up and manages to text back without missing a beat - only one man she knows would have this kind of timing.
Just come over, Shawn.
She finishes her ten minute cardio burst and fixes her hair. It's Shawn; he won't mind.

Date: 2011-06-21 06:10 am (UTC)He adores her no matter what she looks (or smells) like. She should know this by now.
"So I'm thinking I might get a haircut later. Maybe tacos for lunch.... oh yeah, and my best friend's in love with me."
It's about time he got to the point.

Date: 2011-06-21 06:20 am (UTC)She pivots back very slowly.
"...That's brand-new information."
She's not being sarcastic. Is he happy about this or not happy about this?
no subject
Date: 2011-06-21 06:23 am (UTC)There's also the fact that they just spent the night completely platonically in bed together. But he's not going to divulge that information just now.

Date: 2011-06-21 06:30 am (UTC)He blinks. He... hadn't really meant to be that forthright about it.
"I also know there's no way he's actually going to do anything about it."
no subject
Date: 2011-06-21 06:41 am (UTC)She sits down and points at the sofa, indicating he should sit too. "Hey! How do you know he won't?" If he feels this way and so does Gus, what's stopping them.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-21 06:44 am (UTC)"This is Gus we're talking about. He'll try to analyze his feelings to death before he actually acts on them."
He pauses.
"You really think that was romantic?"
no subject
Date: 2011-06-21 06:53 am (UTC)You're talking to romantic, faithful, can-do Juliet, Shawn, you're not gonna get a 'no' out of her.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-21 06:59 am (UTC)Shawn is actually mildly worried about this himself. Gus is very close to his family, and they have fairly traditional values.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-21 07:11 am (UTC)"And yes that was very romantic. I'd love to have a guy wait his whole life for me." She crosses her arms and gives him something between a pout and a raised eyebrow.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-21 07:14 am (UTC)He doesn't want this, of all things, to be what breaks their friendship.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-21 08:57 am (UTC)To prove her point, she pokes his wrist.
no subject
Date: 2011-06-21 01:27 pm (UTC)He punches her affectionately on the shoulder. "So what's up with you besides the better-dressed Olivia Newton-John impression?"
no subject
Date: 2011-06-22 08:50 pm (UTC)"Nothing. I've been prepping this case, worrying about you guys and trying to dodge calls from my old boyfriend."
no subject
Date: 2011-06-23 01:55 am (UTC)"Old boyfriend?"
Yes, he's still protective of her. He can't help himself.

Date: 2011-06-23 02:47 am (UTC)And by help he means "beat up the guy."
Even though he totally wouldn't.

Date: 2011-06-23 03:31 am (UTC)... This conversation took a slight turn for the weird somewhere along the line.

Date: 2011-06-23 03:43 am (UTC)It didn't end well. For anyone involved.
