I can’t deny you.
I feel so alive.

Alive…that’s how Carlton feels whenever he’s with Shawn.
Before Shawn Carlton lived his life by schedules and structure. He would wake up at five-thirty every morning, do all his normal duties at work, then come home and sleep just to wake up and do it all over again. Even with Victoria his life was run by schedules. He always knew what was going to do, when he was going to do it, how he was going to do it, and who he was going to do it with. Things were never spontaneous with him and he was just fine with that.
Until Shawn showed up.
When Shawn first showed up on the scene Carlton couldn’t stand the guy. When Shawn first showed up Carlton thought of him as a childish, overgrown twelve-year old who looked at everything as if it were his next big adventure. Despite that though, Carlton had always (in the very, very back of his mind) envied the way Shawn lived his life so carefree.
Carlton had always dreamed of living like that though he had just never dared to try it out. He never tried to let loose and just go with the flow.
Carlton guesses that that’s why he actually agreed to go out with Shawn nearly eleven months back. They had just solved one of their most biggest cases yet and everyone was in a fairly good mood, Carlton had even let a small ‘HUZZAH’ smile grace his lips for about a nanosecond.
Shawn had walked up to him that night as he was finishing up the last of the paperwork for the case and ever-so-casually asked him out for drinks. When Carlton looked up at him, ready to tell where he could shove the invitation, he saw something in Shawn’s eyes. Just a small little glint that seemed to say ‘Come on Carlton, live a little’ and he couldn’t deny it. He found himself saying yes to Shawn’s proposal and when he looked into Shawn’s shocked hazel eyes he felt a wave of content wash over him. That night, that one little moment in time changed everything for Carlton.
Going out for drinks with Shawn changed his whole perspective about life. He wasn’t exactly sure how but at the end of the night when he threw caution to the wind and gave Shawn the kiss of a lifetime he figured I should really let go more often. He especially liked the results of spontaneity when he felt Shawn kiss him back just as eagerly if not a little more.
The thing that threw Carlton through a loop though was the fact that the only person to ever make him feel like that was Shawn, the bane of his existence…or so he thought. It seemed unreal to him that he could only let go and live a little when around Shawn.
Ever since that night he and Shawn had been dancing (he’s still not sure how Shawn got him to go dancing but he’s pretty sure it had something to do with little to no clothes), swimming with sharks (which took a lot of persuasive sex on Shawn’s part), and even surfing (he still doesn’t have the hang of it yet but he’s getting there).
So now, as he stands just a few inches away from the open door of the airplane he figures if Shawn’s the only person that can get him to live then that’s just okay by him and as he jumps from the plane holding Shawn’s hand he feels…alive.
Again, I feel that this one was short, sweet, and to the point. Hopefully you guys see it that way too. Also, I PASSED ECONOMICS!!!! Can I get a wha-what? I have American Government next so wish me luck. Oh, and since I usually limit my Shassie Shorts to five shorts I’m adding a bonus so stay on the look out!
