The First Date Part Two
***
Tom’s voice was warm and happy as he asked, “Did you have fun last night, was it too much, can I see Jamie soon? Missed you, missed him, can I see you soon? So Jared’s there, that’s good, right, right? That’s good.”
“You should come to dinner sometime, he’d love it. He misses you too. I felt…” Jensen looked away from Jared a little. “I just, I know I wasn’t fair on him or you afterwards… I just y’know. I don’t…”
“Monday?”
“Tomorrow? Yeah, sure that sounds fantastic; then I don’t have enough time to freak out and call it off. You and Mike?”
“No, just me. Mike and Jared have to shoot tomorrow. So I’ll come ‘round four-thirty? Get a good long time with Jamie?”
“Yeah, okay, four-thirty tomorrow. Sounds great, want anything specific?”
“Lemon chicken?”
“Okay, sure. See you then.”
“Love you, queer.”
“You too, fag.” He hung up and saw the horrified look on Jared’s face and said, “College… we decided we were taking it back. I was the music queer and he was the psych fag. He’s coming to dinner tomorrow.”
“I have to-”
“It’s okay, Tommy said.” He handed Jared a large glass of juice and said, “You need anything?”
“No, no, I’m good.” He reached out for Jensen’s hand and pulled him down into a seat, “Relax. We each have a stack of papers, you don’t need to make an effort.”
“I gotta make some sort of effort.”
“No, no, just need to be you and don’t balk. You do that and I’m happy.”
“Jared-”
“Also? I want to call you Jen.”
Jensen felt his blush rise, “Okay, you can call me Jen just don’t call me Jenny. My momma gave me a boy’s name for a reason.” He picked up his pen and started to go over the tests he had to grade for his theory class. “I’m telling them tomorrow that I’m finishing out the year.”
“Cool, excellent. I only have to shoot for a couple more days -I think- and then it’s all just branding, voice loops, and a few specials… I think I get to go on Iron Chef.”
“Wow, Iron Chef.” Jensen said with a smile as he put a large B on the top of the page. “That’s so cool.”
“Yeah. But I have to go to New York which is so not the amazing city people say it is.”
“Leave the dogs here if you like. I’ll take care of them.”
“Yeah?” Jared smiled. “That would be awesome.”
They slipped into silence for a little while.
Jamie came out in a bathing suit that was on backwards. “Harley and Sadie!” he nearly screamed and both dogs, upon hearing their names ran to him. Harley actually knocked him over but Jamie just squealed in delight as the dogs piled on top of him. He was laughing and wresting and Jared was watching them carefully waiting for a sign of trouble. Jumping up Jamie said, “Daddy, can Harley and Sadie go in the pool?”

Jared expected Jensen to grimace, to say it was unhygienic. But instead he just laughed and said, “Yes, but your trunks are on backwards, so get them on right first.” Jamie pantsed himself and Jared felt awkward. He really wasn’t sure how the rules worked about men seeing kids naked. But soon enough Jamie was in the pool with the dogs and was laughing and splashing and trying to get Sadie to balance with him on a foam raft.
Jared went back to his paperwork and was done about the same time as Jensen finished his tests. Walking to the pool Jensen climbed up the stairs to look in and said, “Jamie? Lunch?”
“Breakfast lunch?”
“Sure.” Turing to Jared he asked, “You bring your suit?” Jared nodded and Jensen said. “If you want to swim I can hold off cooking until you’re ready.” Jared understood that Jensen was really asking if he would watch Jamie so he nodded and went inside to grab his suit out of his bag. He went into Jensen’s bedroom and paused, he’d never been in there before. It was all rich, dark colors, way too fucking neat, and exactly what Jared had expected. He changed quickly, leaving his clothes on a chair next to the window. As he passed into the yard Jensen kissed him lightly and said, “Hash browns, bacon, and a tofu scramble coming up, go swim.”

Jensen cooked with the backdoor open, listening to his son and Jared laughing in the backyard. It felt good and he cooked quickly, enjoying the noise. He heard Jared’s deep voice talking to Jamie and the dogs barking and Jensen looked forward to the summer break coming, he would finish work, enjoy his time with Jamie, and then go back to composing. He would compose and chill out and see his friends. It was going to be great. He heard Jared suggesting to Jamie that they get out and dry off. By the time he looked out he saw Jared running a towel over Jamie’s hair.
“So, Jamie,” Jensen heard Jared ask, “How do you feel about me and your Daddy dating? Y’wanna make any rules?”
“I told Daddy I get Fridays.”
“I know, I know, but any other stuff? Anything you wanna talk to me instead of Daddy?”
“I wake up before Daddy, and I usually come get into bed.”
“Okay…” Jared was clearly confused as to where this was going but Jensen’s heart broke a little at the implication Jamie was making.
“Well… if you’re here can I still come and get in bed? ‘Cause I know it’s not very big boy. But I like getting into bed with him. And I don’t mind if your there, I like you, we can cuddle but I like getting into bed.”
Jensen waited for the response to come and wasn’t surprised to see Jared scoop Jamie up in his arms. He held Jamie close and said, “He’s your Daddy, you always get first dibs.” He rocked Jamie back and forth as he spoke, “And Daddy and I are really excited that I’m going to be spending more time with you two, but if it gets to be too much for you we can slow down. I can spend more nights at my place, or you and your dad can do Jared-free activities. ‘Cause we won’t be happy if you aren’t so we need to make this work and talk about things okay?”
Jensen started to dish out food and called, “Come get some drinks, guys, breakfast is almost ready.” He put the pans into the sink to soak and put the filled plates onto a tray. As Jared passed him Jensen leaned forward and kissed him gently and kept walking without another word.

It had been a good day, Jared thought while cleaning the dishes after dinner. Jamie had come on a jog with him and the dogs while Jensen paid some bills. Then they ate homemade cheese-less pizza with a huge salad, went swimming again, and now Jensen was putting Jamie to bed. As he came into the kitchen Jensen said, “Dude, how many times do I have to tell you to leave the dishes?”
“I like dishes, and I’m not a guest anymore,” Jared said laughing as he put one rinsed plate into the dishwasher. Jensen looked tired and Jared said, “It’s been a stressful day.”
“Oh yeah,” Jensen said sarcastically, “swimming and playing with the dogs.”
“And seeing everyone last night, and getting drunk, and deciding to leave your job, and wanting us to be real, and talking to Jamie, and inviting Tom over for dinner. Stressful. So, why don’t you go get naked and go relax in bed and once I get this running I’ll come join you.”
When he came in to the bedroom he saw that Jensen, while naked, was decidedly not relaxed. He was looking through his drawers muttering. “You okay?” asked Jared.
“Next time Josh tells me to do something I should do it without laughing.”
“What didn’t you do?”
“I didn’t buy condoms.”
“I did.”
Jensen slumped against the bed, “You think of everything.”
“Well, I figured that if I had dated David for any period of time I would have thrown them all away and never intended to have sex again.” Jared threw his bag towards the bed and started pulling his t-shirt off. “Relax,” he repeated and then went into the bathroom to brush his teeth. He pulled off his jeans and underwear as he brushed and then washed his face. When he came out he saw that Jensen was taking out contacts. “You wear glasses?”
“Only in bed, before work, snow days. I’ve never been good at playing with them on.”
Jared walked slowly to the bed saying, “I never really thought I had a glasses kink, but thinking about you lazing in sweats and glasses is really working for me.” He settled himself in Jensen’s lap and kissed him slowly. “Y’know, I’ve wanted this from the moment I saw you in the produce section. Not the hottie sex like you said, although this is definitely hottie sex. But like this, with Jamie asleep in his room and my dogs sleeping in your living room. You happy?”
“Ecstatic,” Jensen said in a deadpan voice. “Do you talk your way through sex?”
“Kinda, but don’t worry, I’m not loud.”
“Good to know.” He ground up against Jared and asked, “So how do you want this to happen?”
“You know exactly how this is going to work,” he said leaning down for another, slow, searingly hot kiss. “Like you could do anything besides burying yourself inside of me.”
“Am I that obvious?”
“Everything about you screams ‘In Control Top’. The neatness, the organization, the strut. You’re going to play me like the well tuned fiddle I saw you play on YouTube.”
“It’s been a long time, Jay,” said Jensen as he slowly stroked Jared.
“Yeah, and it’s going to be fantastic; it’s you and me, Jen. Just stop thinking for once. Take in the givens and move on: sex is awesome, sex with someone you love is better, and this isn’t going to have a lot of preamble because we’ve been waiting for months.”
Jensen pulled him back on the bed. Jared liked a lot of things about being gay, he liked that Jensen could manhandle him, and own him, that he didn’t need to be the one with all the physical power… plus the whole dick thing is great. Jensen owned his mouth, and had wandering hands while Jared could only grip at Jensen’s hips because they felt good. And he felt Jensen grapple for something on the bedside table and then there were slick fingers sliding against him, inside of him, slowly one by one, opening him up and making him feel even hotter.
Moaning he said, “God, Jen, just like that. So good, so fucking good, love your hands. Love the calluses from all the guitars and violins, so good. Oh God, needed this. Fantasized so much, all those not dates, oh God. Inside, need you. Please, Jen.”
“Bossy,” Jensen muttered with laughter in his voice and he reached for condoms and Jared moved back slightly, taking the foil package from Jensen and opened it, sliding it quickly but carefully into place.
Jared also really liked safe sex. It didn’t matter that he knew he was clean, and that oh-so-careful Jensen was too. Safe sex showed caring, respect, love, consideration. To Jared it said, “I’m taking care of you, you’re taking care of me.” And one time he’d dated this guy who didn’t like condoms and Jared had dumped his ass because it was just stupid.
And he realized that he was talking when Jensen laughed and said, “Don’t wanna hear about no one else, Jay. Not right now, dude. Too pretty to be anyone’s but mine.”
And as he slid in Jared moaned, “No one else’s, all yours, long as you like.”
“Good long time,” Jensen reassured him. And he moved Jared, actually fucking pulled him up and down with his movements. Jensen’s got a ton of upper body strength cause Jared wasn’t a little guy. “No, you aren’t,” agreed Jensen and Jared liked that Jensen wasn’t weirded out by his rambling. Jensen rolled them so that he was on top, moving faster. Every stoke hit that place inside that felt like electricity and Jared thought that he was too close.
Leaning down to kiss Jensen’s mouth Jared said, “So good, Jen. Can’t much longer, can’t.”
“Let go, it’s okay.” Jared couldn’t not touch himself. And he came too soon but he convulsed around Jensen who came within another few thrusts and then rolled off slightly. He ran a finger through the mess on Jared’s stomach and licked his finger and moaned at the flavor. “You really do eat a lot of candy.”
The only thing that embarrassed Jared about sex was that he was kind of a girl. He was awake after sex and even as Jensen was starting to doze off. Jared removed the condom, threw it into the wastepaper basket. Going to the bathroom he got a wet washcloth and went to the bed to wipe Jensen off. He rifled through Jensen’s chest of drawers and came back with PJ pants. “Lift your hips up for me. Need to get you decent for Jamie.” Jensen did as he was told and Jared pulled on his own PJs before getting back into bed. The minute he was there Jensen curled into him and put his arm around Jared’s chest. And that was the other great thing about sex with men: Jared didn’t have to be the big spoon all the time.
“You think in spoons?” Jensen voice was thick, rough, and just this side of awake. “That is so gay, dude.”
