Carlton Lassiter x reader

Part 3

Lassiter frowns when the chef tells him he and Juliet are needed for a case.
(Y/n) looks down at her phone when she hears it ding from a text.
"I have a new case. Can we reschedule our date?"
"Of course. Go kick some ass."
She texts back and smiles softly.
"If you want you could come help. I would prefer your company to your cousin."
"No sir. I'm done with that. Shawn deserves this job. He's a good guy, even when he's being a pain in the ass."
"Then how about this: you come to my Civil War reenactment practices. Then you can come to the real thing."
"Will you have time to talk during practice?"
"Of course. I know my stuff by heart. When I'm not busy with everyone else we can talk."
"It's a deal."

And that's exactly what they do.
Carlton drives (Y/n) to and from the battlefield.
They get to know more about each other, and the feelings blossom from there.
Lassy even got distracted and fell off his horse during one practice because (Y/n) was making funny faces.
Shawn laughed his ass off at that.
Of course him and Gus were "observing" their dates.
The head detective didn't take too kind to that but he ignores the dumb duo. He had more important things to deal with.

(Y/n) got to try on one of the dresses during one of the practices.
Lassiter found her beautiful and even took a picture with her, upon her request of course.
The woman sent the photo to Juliet who loved the picture.
Shawn was upset that he didn't get to participate, but Gus reminded him that the last time they did someone died.
"It wasn't because we dressed up that he died. He was already dead, Gus." Spencer corrects.
The said man sighs and just rolls his eyes.

Finally the big day came and (Y/n) watches, smiling happily.
As the months went by the more in love she became.
Thankfully for her, Lassy seemed to fancy her too.
But of course he never came out and said anything.
"It's been months and he still hasn't said anything?" Spencer questions.
"This is Lassiter we're talking about Shawn." Gus comments and eats his chips.
(Y/n) smiles sadly. "Maybe he just thinks of me as a friend now instead of a stranger. I would...I would be ok with that."

When everything was done (Y/n) claps and cheers as the tall brunette rides over.
"Did you enjoy yourself?"
"Eh. It wasn't as good as ours." Shawn critiques.
Carlton glares at the psychic.
"It was wonderful. Seeing everyone's hard work pay off. Did you have fun, Commander?"
The man smirks and examines his sword. "Oh yes. I had lots of fun. It was even better knowing you were watching and supporting me."
The cousin gags and crosses his arms. "Get a room." He mumbles.
"Shut up Spencer. Why are you even here? My Captain Quantril died last time you guys were here."
"Like I said! He died before we came along." Shawn gets defense.
"It doesn't matter. Would you like to go out for dinner Commander?" (Y/n) asks.
"Dinner would be lovely."

Finally Shawn had had enough.
"Lassy, are you dating my cousin?"
The woman's eyes widen.
"I thought so yeah. Why do you care?"
Everyone looks at him confused.
"What?" (Y/n) questions.
"Of course it matters to me." Shawn adds.
Lassiter looks at (Y/n). "We are dating aren't we?"
The woman smiles happily. "We are when you ask me to be yours."
"I haven't done that yet? Oh. Well then... (Y/n) will you be my girlfriend?"
Shawn opens his mouth to object but Gus elbows him.
"Shut up Shawn."
"Yes I'll be your girlfriend Carlton."

(Y/n) wraps her arms around his waist and he holds her arms as they kiss.
Gus claps as tears stream down his cheeks. "I'm so happy for you two. I knew you two would be a great couple."
"Oh please. She's way out of his league." The psychic grumbles.
(Y/n) sticks her tongue out at her cousin. "Jealous much?"
"No. Of course not. I would never."
Lassiter smiles and holds (Y/n) close.
