How did Gus convince himself?

Shawn and Gus were friends during school days but they grew apart in their YA days. At some point Shawn must have bulldozed his way into Gus' life. I'm pretty sure Gus wasn't all peachy with that. We know from Blackapella episode that Gus doesn't mind holding grudges against his mates. So, how do you think Gus convinced himself to let Shawn back into his life?

Gus was in college. Shawn was doing his thing, they never make refrence to any animosity ever occuring between the two.

My best friend and I have known each other since we were 5. When we were both in college and living in very different parts of the country. We did not hang out as much. Then after college, we were in the same city for a while and hung out daily.

Now we live a few hours apart and don't see each other nearly as much. That's just how long term friendships work sometimes. The friendship never goes away, but proximity affects daily hangs.

Yep, I've had my best friend since we were 9. I moved when I was 12, but we stayed best friends, we were at each other's house almost every other weekend, our parents joked it was like a custody schedule. After HS, she married a military guy and they got stationed in England, and then another state when they came back to the US. We never stopped being best friends just because of distance. We never stopped talking or sharing our lives. We saw each other three times in the span of like ten years. They moved back to our home state a few years ago, and now we live closer to each other than we did as teenagers.

Sometimes you just have friends like that, that distance can't change. (We're 40 now and she's still my go to, and I'm still hers.)
