Shawn and Tyler Ch. 03

Chapter 3 - 'WTF - I KNOW?'

Shawn and Tyler talked on the phone whenever possible, and Tyler would sometimes have dinner waiting for Shawn when he came home late from work. Tyler knew he was tired and didn't want him to have to miss dinner or grab something on his way home. He would drag in some nights because he was still working twelve to sixteen hours.

One night he walked in at almost eight, and Tyler had been there reading over some research but had dinner waiting. Tyler didn't hear Shawn, and he stood in the kitchen doorway watching Tyler. "You know you're too good to me."

"Oh shit." Tyler jumped, and Shawn chuckled.

"Sorry, Babe, I didn't realize you didn't hear me come in." He smiled because he knew that he was going to make Tyler jump.

He went over and sat next to him and hugged him. "What are you doing?"

"Just reading over some of the research I have been doing for my dissertation. Come winter term, I will be back in classes."

"Mmmm, you are a smarty, like my sister said. That's great. I never went to college."

Tyler was shocked, "Never?"

"Nope, I worked at the police department for a few years, doing whatever they wanted me to do. Sometimes I was a radio operator or desk clerk until I was old enough to take the exam and enter the police academy. I know they prefer you to have an associates or bachelors in something. Still, I scored high enough to get in on my own merit and with the help of all the other guys at the station." Shawn chuckled.

"What help did they give?"

"Some of the answers." Shawn chuckled again. "They really liked me. It's where I work now."

"They guaranteed they got to keep you as an officer once you passed the academy?"

"Pretty much."

Shawn ate and put his head in Tyler's lap because he continued to read. Shawn was asleep in just a few minutes. Tyler liked how their relationship has progressed but decided he better get Shawn to bed and himself home, so he could make it up in the morning.

Waking Shawn, on the other hand, was not the easiest to do. Tyler had to keep calling his name and caressing his face, which didn't work. He finally just got up, which caused Shawn's head to drop to the couch, which woke him. He was able to finally get him to bed and Shawn didn't want his snuggle bug to leave, but Tyler insisted.

As new recruits were being hired, Shawn's hours were returning to normal, and Tyler and he could do more things together. On one of Shawn's days off, he surprised Tyler with a picnic lunch at the university. He was glad it was a warm fall day. So, he texted and asked if he was free and to meet him near the fountain.

When Tyler arrived at the fountain area, he didn't see Shawn and called him. "Where are you?" Shawn laughed and told him to turn his entire body ninety degrees to his right and look forward. When he did this, he saw Shawn had lunch set out for him on a blanket, picnic basket, and all. "Oh my God, Shawn, you didn't." But Tyler was smiling, walked over, and sat down. "You made me lunch?"

"No, you are going to starve, I just made myself lunch, and you get to watch me eat." Shawn chuckled and hugged Tyler to him for a second.

"You're an ass." Tyler laughed.

"I know," Shawn responded. "I love giving you a hard time. The look on your face sometimes is priceless."

They sat, ate, and talked for forty-five minutes, and then Tyler said he had to return to the office. They weren't touchy or anything. They just had lunch, laughed, and enjoyed one another's company. Shawn knew that Tyler didn't want to attract too much attention with public displays of affection, so he kept it down to a minimum. He would touch Tyler a little, his back or arm, but he never kissed him.

Tyler did surprise him after getting to his feet. He leaned over and kissed Shawn before walking away. "Thank you, I love you," Tyler said it by accident, and he couldn't take it back now.

"I know." Was Shawn's only response. He didn't say it back, just the phrase, I know. He just smiled, and Tyler walked away.

Tyler was screaming at himself, 'why did you tell him.' He couldn't believe it slipped out, and Shawn didn't say it back. It made him sad and a little depressed. He ran into Dawn in the hallway, and she could tell something was wrong, so she followed him to his office.

Shawn cleaned up the stuff and left the university, and halfway home, he got a text from his sister. 'WTF, I KNOW??????' Shawn just laughed and didn't respond to the text. He knows eventually it will dawn on Tyler where the line came from because Tyler is too much of a sci-fi nerd not to realize.

Dean called him not too much later, "Shit, man, really, are you trying to piss your sister off and depress your boyfriend?"

"When he sits and thinks about it, he will get it."

"What the fuck does that mean?" Dean responded, then it dawned on him. "Oh shit, really, man, really, you didn't quote a damn movie." Dean then burst into laughter. "Only you would do that, you know that right."

"He loves those movies. If he doesn't get it, then it's on him. And he asked again to watch the series we've been watching every Friday and Saturday night, so we'll be watching that one this weekend. If he's still pissed at me, maybe it will dawn on him during that scene."

"I need to call your sister and tell her." Dean was still laughing.

"Don't you dare! If you do, she will tell Tyler, and I want him to figure it out on his own." Shawn was laughing too.

"I have to listen to her bitch about you for how long?"

"At max a few days, I know I'm an insensitive jerk or ass as she calls me," Shawn responded. "But he knows I love him, and I will tell him when he figures this out."

"What if he never does?" Dean asked.

"Then I will tell him after this weekend." Shawn laughed. "But I have faith in him."

"I think you should wait a bit." He has noticed that Shawn has fallen for Tyler hard, unlike all the other boyfriends he has had. Dean didn't like that Shawn was falling in love or has already fallen in love with Tyler. Dean was becoming jealous of Tyler, knowing he had to put his thoughts elsewhere. He still has his friend.

"I know I probably should have responded with it today. I just thought it would be funnier to say what I did. Hopefully, Tyler isn't too pissed at me and does figure it out. But I know he will, if not before this weekend. I have faith in him that he will Friday night."

Tyler was pissed at Shawn for the next few days, he hardly spoke to him when he did come over, and Shawn would just kiss him anyways. He was thinking, play dumb and not notice how distant Tyler was. Shawn tried to make him laugh, and sometimes Tyler would smile and chuckle but was still trying to be pissed.

By the weekend, Tyler had talked to another coworker, not just Dawn, and she told him not to worry that Shawn would say it back when he was ready. She told him just act like it's not bothering you so much because you don't want him saying it out of sadness for you. Tyler thought about it. Shawn does show that he loves him in many ways all the time and decided that he didn't need Shawn to say it back right now. Tyler thought his coworker was right. He shouldn't force it out of Shawn.

They had been watching the Star Wars movies in order, and this weekend was the last two movies, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, which they will watch the last one on Saturday, one a night. On Friday evening, Tyler was ready and waiting at Shawn's for movie night.

Shawn made it home by six with pizza in hand, he only had to cover another person's shift by a few hours. Shawn asked if Tyler was going to curl up with him on the couch or was he still mad at him. Tyler responded that he wasn't angry. Shawn turned and smiled, wondering whether he was going to figure it out tonight or not.

They started the movie and ate the pizza. After a while, Shawn decided to lay down on the couch like every other weekend, but Tyler stayed at the end of the couch, so Shawn kept his knees bent to give him space. Over half the movie was over, and Tyler refused to lay down with Shawn. Shawn didn't ask. He was just waiting for him to curl up like normal. He could tell that Tyler was still pissed, and he smiled, turning his attention back to the movie.

Shawn was into the movie and had stopped paying attention to Tyler. When the scene finally came and went, Tyler never said anything. Still, something made Shawn think to look over at Tyler, and he saw Tyler wiping his eyes. Shawn became concerned, sat up, and paused the movie. "Babe, what's wrong."

"You're an ass, but you're...." Tyler turned, and Shawn hugged him. "You're a goofball. You let me think and call you bad names all week. I told you I loved you, and you responded with, 'I know,' and that killed me, and you were quoting Han Solo?"

Shawn played innocent, "You were calling me bad names all week!"

"Shawn!" Tyler cried.

Shawn smiled, "Babe, I love you. You didn't have to ever worry about that. You need to worry about me worshiping you, worshiping the ground you walk on. Because Tyler, I fell in love with you almost instantly. I wanted you to be mine by the time I left you the key to my house."

Tyler wanted Shawn at that moment and didn't care about the movie's end. He straddled Shawn's lap and kissed him. If he could have gotten into Shawn's mouth, he would have. It turned him on. Tyler could feel that Shawn was hard, and Tyler was grinding his cock against his. Shawn pulled Tyler's t-shirt over his head. Tyler didn't want to stop kissing Shawn long enough for the shirt to go between them.

He wanted Shawn's cock in his mouth and ordered Shawn to stand and take his clothes off. Shawn did what he was told. Tyler finished removing his, pushed Shawn back down on the couch, and dove down on his cock. Shawn's legs were spread wide to allow Tyler room to get on his knees between them. He begged for Tyler's cock too, he was in heaven, but he wanted to suck also. He laid back on the couch, and Tyler turned around to be on top of him, never releasing his hold on Shawn's cock. He helped Tyler get in the correct position, and then it didn't take long for Tyler to be fucking Shawn's face.

Tyler was so horny for Shawn that he was out of his mind. He didn't realize that he was fucking Shawn's mouth. It didn't bother Shawn much. He actually loved this new side of Tyler. Tyler was going down on Shawn's cock, and they were both coming to the edge of no return. Shawn wanted to slow it down but couldn't if he wanted to. Tyler was running the show and started cumming in his mouth, which caused him to go off.

Shawn was grunting around Tyler's cock, his spasms weren't ending, and it felt fucking amazing to both of them. Tyler popped his cock out of Shawn's mouth when he couldn't handle the sensation any longer, but he continued to lick the head of Shawn's cock, sending shockwaves through him.

"Oh, I can't do that to you, but you can to me." Shawn was breathing heavily and still jerking with every lick or suck that Tyler did to his cock, and the sentence came out in ragged breaths.

Tyler finally laid his head on Shawn's pelvis and smiled. "Mmmmm, but it felt good, didn't it."

Smiling, Shawn responded, "Yes." They fell asleep like this for a bit.

Tyler woke first. He smiled when he opened his eyes and only saw cock by the blue light of the TV. He didn't know how to get up. The only way was going to wake Shawn, and he knew it. His knees were on either side of Shawn's head, so he knew that if he put pressure just right, he might not wake him.

When Tyler came up on his knees, he didn't think about it, he sunk into the couch, and he might as well have put his cock back in Shawn's mouth. And he woke Shawn up by accident. He quickly put his foot on the floor to get off the couch, but Shawn grabbed him by his ass. "Where do you think you are going?" And proceeded to take Tyler's cock into his mouth. Tyler moaned.

Tyler didn't want to stop him but needed to. "I thought we would go to bed, and I need to go to the bathroom."

"Mmmmm, as much as I want your cock right now, I'm not into golden showers." Shawn laughed and smacked Tyler's ass. He yelped.

They just curled up together in Shawn's bed and went to sleep. He had to be up for work in the morning, which was only a few hours away. When Shawn heard his alarm go off, he shut it off quickly. He didn't want it to wake Tyler. Tyler had moved away from him and curled up in a ball sometime during the few hours. He could easily get out of bed and get ready for work. He stopped at the doorway and watched Tyler sleep for a moment before leaving.

When Tyler woke, he was so happy and remembered he needed to call Dawn to tell her that her brother was an idiot, but he loved him. He didn't even look at the time and dialed her number. It rang a few times before Dawn answered. "Hello, Tyler."

"Oh God, did I wake you?" Tyler didn't realize it was early.

"Yes, it's early. Of course, you did."

"It's what," Then Tyler looked at the time. It was just seven in the morning. "Oh, Dawn, I'm so sorry. I'll call back." He felt bad for waking her, but not that bad because she would be nosey and come over when he and Shawn were still in bed.

"You already woke us." He heard Dean respond.

"It's okay, Tyler, don't listen to Dean. What's going on?"

"He loves me." Tyler was smiling now.

"He finally told you?"

"He told me the other day, but I was too stupid to realize it." Tyler chuckled. He thought it was sweet that Shawn would quote one of his favorite movies.

"What do you mean he told you the other day? He said, 'I know,' Shawn didn't say he loved you."

At the same exact time, both Tyler and Dean responded. "He was quoting Han Solo."

Dawn looked at her husband at that moment and hit him. "Ouch!"

"What just happened?" Tyler asked.

"Shawn and Dean are jackasses. Dean knew and didn't tell me, so I could tell you. How did you find out? Did he tell you or what?" Dawn was curious.

"We were watching a movie last night. I was standoffish all night, I knew he wanted me to lay down with him, and I refused. I gave up looking at him halfway through the movie, hoping he would just tell me so I could stop being mad. I hated being mad at him. I know it was my issue, not his. If he didn't want to tell me he loved me right now, it wasn't my place to push him. And I finally just started watching the movie, and then it gets to the part." Tyler rambled on.

"What part is that?" Dawn wasn't familiar with the movies. She didn't care about the films and didn't think she had really seen them fully.

"It was when Princess Leia tells Han Solo that she loves him, and he responds that he knows, but he was telling her that he loved her too." Tyler was smiling even though Dawn couldn't see it.

"You all are geeks. I give up trying to figure you men out," Dawn responded.

Tyler could hear Dean laughing, then he said ouch again, knowing Dawn hit him. "I'm sorry for waking you."

"Where's my brother?"

"Work."

"Come over, and I'll fix breakfast, and we'll talk." Dawn decided since she was up, she might as well do something. Tyler showered, headed over, and they talked all morning. Then Tyler went home for the day to get chores done at his apartment before he was due back over to Shawn's to watch the next movie. Tyler was so happy the entire day it was like he was on cloud nine.
