Disclaimer: Obviously I do not own the boys, or any other character in this fic...original or The Proposal based. This is all just for fun.
Author's Note: Since it’s a WIP, the ratings/warnings will change per chapter, as the story develops. The story is mainly comedy, same as the film, but there will be angst and hurt/comfort. Enjoy.
Jensen had the best sleep he ever had, in...as long as he can remember. But when he wakes up, it takes him a moment to realize where he is...and the fact that he slept in for the first time since he started his job surprises him.
Jensen doesn't have time to think about what happened the night before, as there is a knock on the door. "Room service. Breakfast for the happy couple."
*Shit*. Jensen looks around the room. The set up that he and Jared have doesn't really scream happy couple.
"Jared! Jared!" Jensen whispers as loud as he can. When he doesn't hear any movement, he launches one of his pillows at the ground where he hopes Jared it.
"What the fuck!" Jensen hears Jared curse from the ground.
"Jared, you mother's at the door. Get up." Jensen whispers, moving over in the bed to make room for Jared.
"Just a second!" Jensen shouts at Jared's mother as Jared gets to his feet.
Jared doesn't have any time to wake up as he throws the blankets he was using into the corner of the room, and gets into bed with Jensen. If he was a little more alert, he may have realized that he had some morning wood from the lovely dream he was having before Jensen work him up.
"Um...what do we do?" Jared asks, rubbing his eyes as he pulls the covers up and gets in next to Jensen.
"I donno...Just spoon me." Jensen rambles, clearly freaking out.
Jared grins and does as he's told. That's when things take a turn for the worse. Jensen feels Jared erection, as Jared wraps his arms around Jensen. Jensen pulls away.
"Oh my God! What is that?" Jensen shrieks, trying to keep his voice down.
"What do you call yours?" Jared asks, as he realizes what he did. Trying not to be embarrassed, Jared keeps the focus on Jensen.
Jensen is too shocked for words, but is quickly pulled out of it by another knock on the door. "Are you guys okay?"
"Ya. One second. Come on in. Everything's fine." Jensen yells, as he positions himself in Jared's arms, clearly not impressed.
It's a little weird how easy and comfortable Jensen fits into Jared's side, Jared's arms wrapped around him. If you can forget about the fact that Jared is currently sporting an erection. But Jensen doesn't allow himself to think about that as Jared's mother enters the room.
"I brought you guys up some breakfast. Cinnamon rolls." Grace smiles, as she places a tray down in front of Jared and Jensen. That's when Jensen realizes that Jared's father and Grandmother have also entered the room.
"Oh, thanks, you shouldn't have gone thought the trouble." Jensen doesn't know how to take Jared family. And he's starting to realize this week is going to be a hell of a lot harder than he ever could have anticipated.
"Oh, no, you're family now, it's no trouble at all." Joe replies, smiling. "Your mother and I have come up with a proposition, and I happen to think it's a terrific idea..."
There's something in Joe's tone that doesn't sit right with Jensen. After a brief look over at Jared, Jensen can see Jared isn't too trusting right now either.
"We want you to get married on thursday. Day before you guys are set to leave." Joe smiles.
"Thursday? But that...today's sunday right?" Jensen asks, looking over to Jared.
Jared just nods as he stares at his father. Jared knows his father is up to something. There's not way he would agree to this otherwise.
"That's uh...that's kind of soon." Jensen looks back over to Jared's family, trying hard not to freak out.
"Well, you were going to get married anyways, right? So why don't you get married here? This way we can all be together, and that way Grandma Annie can be a part of it." Joe continues.
"Oh. Oh uh...we're...no. I uh...it's Gammy's birthday this week. I don't..." Jensen isn't sure what else to say, and Jared's being oddly quiet. "We don't want to ruin you're birthday by getting married only a few days later."
"I've had 89 birthday parties. I don't need another one. I'd much rather help you two get you're wedding together. It would be a dream come true to me to see one of my grandchild's wedding. " Gammy explains, with a wide grin on her face.
"So you'll do it?" Joe asks.
Jensen wants to cry. He seriously wants to break down into tears right this second. Because Jared's family truely care for him. And what's going to happen if this all blows up in his face.
"Before I'm dead?" Gammy asks, a playful smile now on her face.
"Ok. We'll do it." Jensen caves, wanted everyone to leave them alone now.
The rest of the excitement goes by in a blur, Jensen now becoming the silent one. Finally the family leaves, leaving Jared and Jensen alone in the bed. Jensen still in Jared's arms.
"Fuck!" Jared curses, pulling his arms away from Jensen.
When Jensen looses the contact with Jared, he finally snaps out of it.
"When my mom finds out that this whole thing is a sham...she's gonna...she's gonna be crushed, and my grandmother is going to die." Jared runs a hand through his hair, clearly upset.
"Your mom's not going to find out. We'll figure this out." Jensen wants to rub a hand over Jared's back to comfort him, but he doesn't.
"Shit." Jared gets out of the bed, and just sits on the edge. "My father. What's with that?"
"What? The wedding thing?" Jensen asks, confused.
"Ya. Where did that come from?" Jared doesn't turn to face Jensen. He doesn't want his boss to see how scared he really is.
"You're mom probably got him work up into it. It's going to be fine. They aren't going to find out." Jensen awkward moves across the bed, so he can sit next to Jared.
"It's not like we're going to be married forever. We'll be happily divorced before you know it. It will be fine." Jensen wraps an arm around Jared, and is surprised when Jared leans into him.
"You okay?" Jensen asks after a few minutes pass.
"Ya, I uh...I gotta talk to Chris?" Jared gets up and starts collecting some clothes.
"You're ex? Why?"
"He's been here this whole time. He's really close to my family. If...if something going on, he'd know."
Jared grabs his clothes, and enters the bathroom. Jensen stays on the bed, letting the silence of the room calm his nerves. After a minute, Jared re-enters the room, dressed.
"You're right, you know. Get a quicky divorce, we'll be fine." Jared says, trying to stay positive.
"Absolutely."
"You alright?" Jared asks, as he know notices Jensen isn't acting like his usual self.
"I'm fine. Just...I'm fine. Um...you still going to see you're ex?"
"Yeah."
"Need me to come along?"
"No, that's probably not a good idea. If Chris figured out what's going on. You're probably the last person he wants to see right now." Jared explains as he makes his way to the door.
"Ok, I'll just...relax here I guess."
"I'll be back soon." Jared leaves.
*Just relax. This is a business deal. This is just a business deal.*
Jensen gets out of the bed, and quickly gets dressed. He needs to get out of here for a few hours.
---
Jared arrives at Chris's bar. The bar is opened, but there isn't a lot of people inside. He quickly spots Chris at a table, talking to two other men.
"Chris!" Jared calls out as he approaches the table.
Chris turns around, surprised when he sees Jared. "Shit. Jared? What are you doing here?"
"I needed to talk to you? Why? Is this a bad time?" Jared's confused, sure he hasn't really talked to Chris much over the years. But they were best friends before.
"No...um...just..." Chris isn't sure how to answer Jared.
Jared gets closer to the table, and that's when he realizes he recognizes one of the men at the table. "Tom? What the hell are you doing here?"
"This crazy bastard called me last night and demand I get on the first flight out. So here I am." Tom looks over to Steve, who just smiles.
"Jared, this is my boyfriend, Steve." Chris introduces, sitting back at the table.
"What the hell's going on Chris?" Jared sits on the empty chair at the table.
"You didn't call him? Chris! You said you were going to call him." Steve scolds.
"I was...just wasn't sure what to say."
"Explain it now then." Jared demands, getting pissed off.
"Steve went to school with Tom and Mike." Chris starts.
"Mike?"
"Mike Rosenbaum. The guy in charge of you case." Tom explains.
"How the hell do you know Mike?" Jared asks, not taking his eyes off Chris.
"He's my boyfriend." Tom explains, starting to put the pieces of the puzzle together for himself.
"Fuck." This is really not what Jared needs right now.
"It's not true, is it? You're not marrying Jensen so he can stay in the country." Chris really hopes it's not true, he put himself on the line for Jared the other night with Mike.
Jared debated his options in his head. He knows he couldn't get away with the lie he's been telling everyone else. Not with Chris. And certainly not with Tom also in the room.
"Jensen may have approached me a few months ago with the offer when he was really starting to worry about being deported." Jared says, formulating a new lie in his head. He starts to get a headache from all the lies.
"Jared! What the hell man. You do realize you'll probably go to jail for this right?" Tom shouts, being the first one to react. "I can't lie to Mike."
"I'm not asking you to lie to your boyfriend Tom, because...I love him." Jared finally says.
"What?" All three men exclaim at the same time.
"Look...Jensen may have approached me with some crazy proposal, but I turned him down alright. We work together so much, and after that...ya, things got a little weird. But, after a few weeks I ended up asking him out. We got really close. And I know how everyone feels about him at work Tom. But...I donno, that's not who he is." Jared rambles, smiling at the thought of their conversation last night.
"You serious? You really love him?" Tom asks, seemingly the only other person in the room that can find their voice.
"Yeah, I do. And then more time we spend together, then harder I fell him. You know me Chris. I fall hard, fast." Jared smiles.
Chris shakes his head, unsure how to take all the news.
"And when we heard how soon he might be deported, I just knew I couldn't live without him. So yes, it might have been the reason all this started. But it's not the reason I'm marrying him. I'm marrying him because I love him. I'll move to Canada with him if I have to." Jared finishes, surprised at how easy that was.
"You really are serious, aren't you?" Chris finally says.
"Yes, you know me Chris...I wouldn't lie about this." Jared feels something pull in his gut. He hates having to lie to Chris about something as big as this. But at the same time, he can't help but wonder if his new lie actually took place...if he and Jensen would be in the same situation they are now.
"Alright, how can we help?" Steve says, noticing how the other two men were speechless.
"My parents want Jensen and I to get married this Thursday, after my Grandmother's birthday. She's really excited about seeing one of her grandchildren get married. So...Tom, I know this is probably way too much to ask, but..."
"You want me to talk to Mike." Tom interrupts.
"I'd understand if you couldn't." Jared responds, knowing it's a lot to ask of a man he barely took the time to get to know back at the office.
Tom nods, and stands up. "There is one thing I should tell you Jared."
"What?"
"Before Mike left, he did talk to me. Asked me about you and Jensen since he knew we worked together. I told him it was a shock. None of us at the office knew you two were seeing each other. And none of us even knew Jensen was gay." Tom explains.
"Ok..." Jared's not really surprised, but he's a little confused about why Tom's telling him this.
"So I knew about your case. And before he left, he got a call for your father. He's the one that tipped him off, and told him to get down here to investigate you too." Tom finishes, smiling. "I'll see myself out."
Tom leaves, and Jared just stares a head, shocked.
"I was going to tell you that, after Tom left. Mike told us last night, that's why I wanted Tom here." Chris explains.
"Why fly Tom out?"
"Wanted to keep a better eye on the situation." Chris smirks.
"You were going to kick his ass, weren't you? Like that would have help." Jared smiles, despite the fact that he wants to be pissed.
"I would never. Now get out of here. Spend time with that boyfriend of yours." Chris laughs, and he gets up and walks towards the bar.
"Alright. Thanks Chris."
Jared gets up and leaves. After a moment, Steve walks over to Chris.
"You really believe him?" Steve asks.
"I donno. I think he's lying about the circumstances. But I can't help feel that he's not lying about his feeling towards Jensen." Chris explains, wrapping his arms around his boyfriend. "He probably just doesn't know it yet.
