I think the thing that you really have to consider about Shawn and Gus is that they really probably haven't been there much for each other since high school.

Shawn has had 57+ jobs since high school that's an average of one job a quarter and many of them seen to have taken place not in Santa Barbara. Gus and Shawn's relationship seems based on a high school friendship that turned into a postcard sending friendship over the years. It seems like Gus rarely saw Shawn for more than a few months at a time.

Now it has been over a year with Shawn at the same job and Gus and Henry are probably starting to wonder what the hell is up with Shawn and when he's going to run away.

I'm not positive there has been enough backstory to say for sure that Shawn and Gus have had that sort of intensity of their relationship to make the claim. I also don't think there is a lot of good evidence for Shawn really losing anyone. I think his mother is probably still alive. Shawn has the sort of reaction to death that people only have if they've never really been hit by it themselves. He doesn't have the emotional awareness to realize exactly how much pain or death hurts other people.

I know that boys sometimes are really frigging mean to each other ... I'm saying it's been above and beyond lately.
