Fic: Distance Makes the Heart Grow Fonder (Sam/Jensen crossover) PG-13
This follows my earlier Sam/Jensen fic, The Sky Is Broken, and was written for
ink_stain’s 75 things challenge. It may not make sense if you've never seen Heroes, but I couldn't resist when I saw the prompt. :) It's not a crossover, but the boys watch episode seven together.

Distance Makes the Heart Grow Fonder
April 2008, Vancover, British Columbia
Jensen cradles the phone to his ear, listening to Sam fiddle with his computer. “You ready?”
“Yeah. Just say the word and I’ll hit play.”
“Okay, let me grab my popcorn, and we’re good to go,” Jensen says, carefully placing his phone on the edge of the couch, heading to the kitchen.
Jensen grins as he rips the package open and dumps the popcorn into a bowl. Yeah, he felt a little silly at first, when he suggested that he and Sam watch Heroes together over the phone. Especially because Jensen had initially resisted the hit show, citing lack of interest, and Sam resisted too, with a dismissive, “Like I have time to watch television.”
That worked for months until Jensen got sick of listening to Jared’s, “Oh, man, Jen, this chick is so hot, and she’s got an evil double.”
So Jensen broke down and started watching season one. Which meant Sam, sympathetic as always, watched too, and confessed, “I’m tired of hearing my friends rave about flying brothers and time travel and not knowing what the hell’s going on, so maybe I’ll play catch up with you.”
Jensen grabs a paper towel and settles onto his couch, hitting the play button, excited as he picks the phone back up. He really looks forward to this time with Sam-speculating, cheering the characters on, listening to Sam’s theories on exactly what Mr. Bennett’s up to- Jensen stops and shakes his head, his grin getting bigger as he forces himself to quit thinking about Sam, and focus on the show.
“Dude.” Jensen exhales as he watches Peter lean over Charles. “Peter’s out of his mind.”
“Yeah, I don’t think anyone’s going to react well to hearing that,” Sam says, and Jensen imagines the way Sam leans forward when he’s concentrating, the way he’s probably tilting his head as he watches Peter approach the open window, ready to show off his new Superman abilities.
They watch in silence for a few seconds, just breathing into the phone until Jensen slaps his knee and laughs, triumphant, as Peter sits up in bed, clearly dazed. “Hah, I knew it was going to be a dream.”
Sam scoffs. “Did not.”
“Yeah, I did,” Jensen says, nodding emphatically even though Sam can’t see him. “If anything cool happens, it always turns out to be a dream.”
Sam laughs too, right into the phone. “Well, at least Simone’s there to make it all better.”
Jensen swallows hard as he realizes exactly why Simone’s there, taking in her red eyes and the way her voice breaks. Dammit, he’s the genius that suggested watching the episode where her dad fucking dies. Jensen chews on his lip, unsure if he should say anything as Simone clings to Peter onscreen.
He’s still zoning out, thinking about what a dumbass he is when Sam starts talking again. “That dog gives me the creeps.”
Hearing Sam's remark makes Jensen forget about his mini-freakout, and he sighs in relief-sometimes Sam makes all of this so easy on him. Not that it’s always easy, exactly, but Jensen’s just… Well, he’s got it bad.
Jensen snickers, watching Mrs. Bennett cuddle and fondle the little furball. “Claire’s mom gives me the creeps,” he says as he relaxes back into the cushions, chomping on his popcorn.
“Got butter on your fingers?” Sam asks, his voice low and suggestive.
Jensen chokes, always caught off guard by how downright dirty Sam can make his voice sound, and how each time, his words shoot straight through Jensen's body. “Yeah,” he almost stutters, catching himself. “And salt,” he adds, recovering and adding his own inflection into the words.
“Wish I was there to lick it off of you.”
Jensen looks down at his pants with a wry smile. Oh yeah, Sam’s amazing.
