After the Awards (for bigkitty75)

[head_psychic]

Shawn giggles when the door snaps shot. But it's alright to giggle because he giggles with offense! Which sounds pretty much like giggling anyway.

He spins his award, turning on his heels and waving it at Gus while walking the hallway backwards to face his friend. "Most clueless! I cannot believe these people! I mean, I mean look at me! Do I look like a clueless person to you? I am not a clueless person. I got it all figured out! The world, the cases, I mean, if I had been there Twin Peaks wouldn't have even lasted one single episode!"

He bumps against a doorframe and ow!s for a moment, shaking his head. "We gotta keep this out of sight. I mean, not out of sight, because clearly owning a golden donkey is just what our office chi needs. Trust me. What I mean is out of sight from dad. Oh my God, can you believe what it'd be like? Him seeing this? He'd hang around the office all day, trying to, oh my gosh, do you think he'd get the nasty idea of tutoring us?" He points at his prize. "This thing? Has to go. But at the same time hasn't."

Shawn frowns, clearly thinking before his eyes widen and he raises a finger, his face lighting up with an idea. "Dude, I got it! Go get some gaffer tape. We'll just hide what it's for, like, stick it over the 'most clueless' so it does nothing but looking shiny in the office's shelf!"

"That look."

Shawn throws an arm around Gus's shoulder and leads him to the bed. "You sleep better when your face isn't covered in wrinkles."

Gus allows himself to be lead. "My face isn't going to be covered in wrinkles." He frowns, and then catches himself in it. Gus sighs and tries to clear his expression.

"So, how do you want to do this? Left side or right?" He thought he'd have enough energy to trudge back to the couch for the night, but now that he's here, Gus knows that's all just wishful thinking.

"Mhh..." Shawn yawns a melody that says something like idontcare, then says "Left!" and slumps down onto the mattress. "Dude, what a day!"

Gus agrees with a noise and sinks into bed on the empty side. It's a weird feeling, actually sleeping with someone else in the same bed as him. Gus shifts a bit and ends up facing Shawn, he closes his eyes. But he can feel his best friend still there, just the same.

It sorta reminds Gus of sleepovers when the were little. Shawn still breaths the same as he did way back then, a slightly irratic not-quite-snore that used to drive him crazy, but now sounds just... familiar.

Gus only hopes that Shawn has stopped kicking in his sleep.

Shawn looks over at Gus one last time, smiling lazily. "G'night, buddy."
