Psych: why I love Shawn/Gus.

This could almost be meta! Only not, because it's squee. For this comment.

So, for those of my flist not familiar with Psych, here are some links in case you are interested: the Official USA Network site, the Wiki page, and finally: Wiki's Shawn page and Wiki's Gus page. Yes, I love Wiki. Shhh, I know it's not a legitimate source. It'll do for this. Anyway, Shawn and Gus. And this is what I've decided, after much conversing with duoshinigami, dark_sanction, and lovestoned4jt when we sat down to watch some of S1, and when we get together to watch S2: Shawn and Gus are together.

Really, they're so together I'm convinced that the slash is just beneath the surface of the show. They're really boyfriends, who're nervous about their relationship because, while it's not new, it's not what you'd call normal. For them. So they hide it, because they have managed to convince each other (but not themselves, not quite) that theirs' is a relationship based on convenience. So they encourage each other to date girls, which is why Shawn flirts outrageously, and why Gus kind of awkwardly flirts (like he's digging for information, you know? I'm convinced he does that all the time, not just on cases.) Sooner or later, they'll realize that what they have is good, and they'll have a moment about how, yeah, they kind live for each other, because they laugh with each other and *gasp* love each other.

THEN! Henry will walk in on then in the office while they're having a romp. He might throw words like "hypocrite" and "*bleep*" and "homo" around, but it'll be almost better once Shawn talks to him about it. Then, there will be just those vaguely offending jokes to deal with, when he talks? Like the two-sided off-hand remarks, and the "How many homos does it take to change a lightbulb?" and how, maybe, he'll think this is just another phase for Shawn and how Shawn shouldn't get Gus into something this, because what if Gus is serious, but Shawn's, once again, not?

Shawn and Henry will have another talk, and all with almost be well, again. Except for those jokes. And Gus, he doesn't deal well, at all, with those jokes for, like, months, because he's never sure whether or not Henry is doing it to try and feel more comfortable with their relationship, or if it's just to get under Shawn's skin.

Why yes, I do believe I'm a wee-bit crazy. I'm going to sleep now. I love you all! :D

it just makes sense, kittens
