Prompt: Jared gets jealous of Jensen and Misha, confesses his feelings for Jensen while drunk. Hooking up insues?
Jared has been in love with Jensen for a while now.
They always had been close, touching and hugging, personal space practically non-extinct between them. A certain tension always there, one where Jared never was really sure if it was sexual, one that had turned into slow kisses a few times when there had been to much alcohol involved. But drunk kisses didnât really mean much and always were forgotten in the morning.
Whatever they had, it wasnât just physical. They shared everything, could talk for hours or enjoy the quite together. Jared had never felt so close to another human.
The problem was, he had never known how to approach Jensen about it. Didnât know if he was reading the signs right or if it was just a close friendship.
And the way it looked now, he had misread the entire situation.
Because whatever it was they had between them, Jensen seemed to also share it with Misha.
For some time now, Jared had watched how Jensen and the goofy Misha had grown closer. Misha could bring out a side of Jensen that was rarely seen in the public. Could make him act silly and careless, make him throw his head back and laugh till he had tears in his eyes.
Where Jensen always seemed reserved with to much physical contact with Jared, especially the suggestive kind, he didnât seem to have this problem with Misha.
Jared remember the little pangs of hurt he felt deep in his stomach while watching Jensen caress Mishaâs face while walking by, or how both did lean in for what looked like kisses to the nape of the neck and how Misha had no reservation about being in Jensenâs space and Jensen would let him with a smile or a laugh, welcoming him there.
And now this. Jared sat in the back room of the Hilton Hotel in Rome at JIB Con watching the broadcast of Jensenâs panel. Watching how Misha crashed it and how the two men joked around and opened one of the boxes and started to act out part of the âHitchedâ script. Watched as hey both leaned into a kiss, of which Jared knew it was fake but one that still looked way to real and his stomach twisted and he couldnât help thinking âThis sure looks like they have a lot of practice doing thatâ.
Jared had had enough and left the room and took the elevator to the two bedroom suit he was sharing with Jensen.
He felt angry at himself and the entire situation. How could he have misjudged what him and Jensen had so badly? They where just friends and whatever he thought he might have seen that meant there was more, he clearly was wrong. He was an idiot for allowing himself to fall for his best friend.
Finally in the hotel room, he went straight for the mini-bar and took out a bottle of Jack.
Half the bottle later Jared wasnât really feeling any better. Lying back on the plush couch his thoughts were turning from angry to jealous to laughing about his own stupidity. From how his head was spinning he was sure he was at least a little bit drunk and took another swallow right from the bottle.
There was laughter outside the hotel room. He recognized Jensen and Misha. They said their goodbyes and then the door was opening and Jensen got inside.
âJared?â Jensenâs voice sounded puzzled upon finding his best friend drinking on the couch. âWhatâs wrong?â
âNothing.â
Jensen set down beside him. âCome on, Jared. Itâs not like you to sit around alone and get wasted. Whatâs bothering you?â
Jared wanted to take another swallow instead of answering but Jensen stopped him and took the bottle out of his hand. âTalk to me, Jay,â Jensen said and put a comforting hand on Jaredâs thigh.
The younger man didnât want the closeness at the moment and stood up with a sight, taking a few steps away from the couch and Jensen. âIâm an idiot, thatâs whatâs up,â he finally said with his back turned to his friend.
He heard Jensen get up as well and seconds later there was a hand on his shoulder, squeezing. âTalk.â
Jared let his shoulders hang in resignation. It didnât matter now anyway. âI like you, Jensen. Like really really like you.â
There was confusion in Jensenâs voice as he replied. âWell, thatâs great, because I really really like you too.â
Jared finally turned around but was looking down, not wanting to meet Jensenâs eyes. âYou donât understand. I like you as in more then a friend. I like you as in âI wanna be your boyfriendâ.â He bit his lip, then his tongue soothed over it. âBefore you say anything, I know you donât feel the same⌠and youâre probably with Misha anywayâŚâ
âWhat?!â
âIâve watched you two, Jensen. Maybe youâre not ready to admit it yet, but if you want him you should go for it. Iâll be okay.â Eventually anyway. But if Jensen was happy Jared was sure he would be happy for him.
For now Jared just wanted to spend some alone time in his room and was turning around to leave but was stopped by hands grabbing the fabric of his t-shirt.
He looked up to Jensenâs face and saw a smile there. âYou really are an idiot.â And Jensen leaned in to press their lips together.
