Epic Fail
Gus let out a weary sigh as he entered the Psych Office and forced the front door closed on the wind from outside. Shaking out his rain soaked coat, he hung it on the weird yellow coat rack that Shawn had bought- “It’s perfect! It’s so.. Pineapple-esque!”- and took his sample case into the main office.
And, of course, while Gus was out having a horrible day attempting to meet quota and keep his little blue Echo on the road through the storm, his best friend spent the whole day doing nothing. Shawn was sitting on the guest chair by the window. He had his feet up on the opposite chair and was reading a book quietly- which is what clued Gus in that something was probably going on.
“Shawn?”
“Hmm?” The faux psychic didn’t even look up.
“..Any cases come in?”
“Nope.”
Gus raised an eyebrow. “Why are you being so quiet? It’s creeping me out.”
Shawn’s nose still didn’t leave the white pages. “I’m bored. So, I’m learning a new trick.”
Gus leaned over to read the cover. “Shawn! That book is upside down!”
“Really? I hadn’t noticed.” Gus scoffed. “What? I’m learning to read upside down faster! You never know when we might need it!”
Gus rolled his eyes but stopped as he saw something on the front window. Three pieces of printer paper were taped together in an upside down triangle. Across the top two, in sharpie, was written, “Don’t look down.” On the bottom sheet was a big, darkly shaded arrow pointing downward. Gus’s eyes automatically followed the path to an additional paper taped about two feet lower with one, giant word written across it. “FAIL.”
Gus turned his head back to Shawn, who was finally looking at him with a raised eyebrow and a smirk plastered on his face.
The pharmaceutical rep huffed and turned to his desk, flipping open his laptop for a quick game of solitaire. But, as soon as Shawn’s chuckles subsided and he turned back to his book, Gus couldn’t help but smile.
He knew there was a reason they were best friends.
