Gus’ eyes caught Juliet’s and he gazed intently at her, his head tipping almost imperceptibly to the side. She took the hint and slipped away from the conversation Lassiter, Shawn and Karen were having.

She sidled up to Gus and the two of them proceeded up the hallway a little further before turning towards each other, Juliet cocking her head curiously. "What’s up, Gus?"

He glanced back toward the group they had left behind to make sure Shawn wasn’t coming and then said, "I wanted to give you a heads-up about a few things."

"Okay," she said and then waited, curious to hear what he had to say.

"First off, Shawn is a virgin, regardless of whatever ludicrous statements he may make," Gus said bluntly, and Juliet blushed, bewildered. If she had expected anything, that wasn’t it.

"I don’t—"

"Hang on," Gus said, holding up a hand. "I’m just warning you that he is going to brag about his sexual prowess—he’ll kill me if he finds out I told you this—and he is going to make who-knows-how-many vulgar jokes while in your company and probably at your expense. I just wanted to make sure that you understand that he is basically all talk, and you’ll just have to trust me on that. I can only tell you that I know because whether Shawn told me or not—I could tell if he had decided to take that step. So don’t be intimidated or freaked out by whatever freaky sexual innuendo he might make. The only reason he does it is because he figures if things are going to be embarrassing and awkward, he may as well make them as embarrassing and awkward as humanly possible and get it over with."

Juliet nodded wordlessly, cheeks still warm. This was definitely not what she had expected.

"Secondly, he is not kidding when he says he’s dated a lot. However. I can count the number of times he’s dated seriously on my opposable thumbs, and I can tell you already that he is as serious as he gets about you. So, please," he said, and his face softened, "Don’t screw around with him."

Juliet was a little offended that he would think she would do something like that and he must have seen it in her face because he added, "Look, I’m just saying. Shawn is basically my brother. It comes with the territory.

She smiled at that. "Thank you, Gus. And I promise, I won’t hurt him if I can help it."

"Hey! Gus, what are you doing lurking over here with my girl?"

Juliet’s smile grew as he looped his arms possessively around her and Gus rolled his eyes at him. "We were undressing on another in our minds, Shawn, in preparation for wild psychic sex, what does it look like?" he said dryly.

"Dude," Shawn said. "That’s so not cool. Stop trying to imitate my gift."

Gus snorted and winked at Juliet. "Gee, how could I do such a thing?"

Juliet simply smiled.
