Three Times Jensen Was Injured (Apart From The Obvious Time With Aisha, Who is Crazy, and its Only Because of Clay and The Fact That She's Kind of Hot and Badass That They Even Keep Her Around, Bitch Bet Against The Petunias) and Cougar Was There for Him.
It's not really Cougars fault.
Actually it's not Cougars fault at all.
It's really kind of Jensen's fault.
If he were being perfectly honest with himself Jensen would acknowledge that when these things happen it's usually his fault.
It's not that Jensen's bad at his job or anything, he's not, he's awesome at his job. He just sometimes says and/or does something stupid and blows his cover. And sometimes Cougars cover when he has to shoot down the guy who's about to shoot Jensen.
Okay so it's really, really his fault. But these things happen. Anyway it's not nearly as bad as the time Pooch was supposed to break into this place and ending up: A: Walking into a wall, B: Knocking himself unconscious, and C: Setting off all the alarms and alerting the entire building to their presence. Clay still won't let him hear the end of that one.
He also blames the sun. It glints off of Cougars gun at the exact wrong moment (as soon as he shot the first dude) and suddenly all the guys who just had their guns on him have their guns on Cougar. Fickle bastards.
One of them is going to shoot. They're going to shoot Cougar and he is going to die and then Jensen will die without Cougar there to bail his lily white ass out of trouble. He has to do something.
"Hey assholes, listen because I really do want to know, are you always this stupid or are you just making a special effort today?." They turn their guns on him looking shocked that anyone would be stupid enough to insult the guys with the guns. Jensen's kind of shocked too. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, maybe it's hereditary, I mean yo mama is so stupid she tried to put m&ms in alphabetical order!" Okay so it's not his BEST work, but under the circumstances, not half bad.
The guy in front, apparently not impressed by Jensen's frankly incredible ability to think on his his feet, sneers and pulls the trigger of his pistol.
Another gun goes off immediately. Jensen's eyes clench shut as soon as the bullet tears into him, so he can't actually see who fires the shot at the bad guys, but he assumes it's Cougs. Cougar always watches out for him (A little to much if you believe what Pooch says, which you never should because Pooch is a moron and Jolene deserves much, much better).
Another three shots go off immediately. Jensen grins, pow, pow, pow, one for each of the henchmen, poor guys never even got a chance to fire. Cougar is so badass, just don't tell him Jensen said that because he has a big enough head as it is. But don't tell him Jensen said that either because then he'll shoot Jensen in the face. And that's where his glasses are, he likes his glasses. Jensen realizes after a moment that that cracking sound was probably his head hitting the concrete ground, so he just might be a little bit delirious/seriously messed up in the head.
"Jensen." It is the most beautiful and Mexican thing he's ever heard.
Jensen opens his eyes a slit and sees Cougar in all his cowboy hatted glory leaning over him. "Hey Cougar!" He tries to say except in come out sounding more like "Nfhngn!"
Cougar slips off his shirt pressing it heavily to the wound. Half naked Cougar is a wonderful sight that Jensen does not get to see often enough, he wishes he wasn't injured so he could properly enjoy it. As is Jensen feels his eyes slipping closed, Cougar shakes his shoulders slightly. "Stay awake. You might be concussed."
He glares up at Cougar. "I was not sleeping." Cougar gives him a dubious look. "I was shot, 'm aloud to close my eyes."
Cougars lips are pressed in a straight line, it worries Jensen. "Is it bad?" Jensen asks.
"No. You'll be fine." Jensen must have looked pretty freaked out because Cougar suddenly decides to break his no talking rule. "This." He give it a meaningful glare "Was my favorite shirt. It doesn't pain my eyes like yours."
Cougar obviously has terrible taste, Jensen's Hawaiian shirt is fabulous. Jensen vows then and there to never, ever say fabulous in front of Aisha or Pooch. The thought of the mocking that would ensue makes him shudder in fear.
"Its an awesome shirt, other shirts are jealous." Jensen mumbles petulantly under his breath. He feels a rush of triumph when Cougar grins.
It's the first time he wonders if maybe he might just be a little bit in love with Cougar. There's really no other reason for him to do something so ridiculously stupid as taking a bullet for the guy and then still care about making him smile.
He just has such a fucking phenomenal smile.
Clay should be there any minute so Jensen isn't too worried about bleeding out or anything. He IS in fucktons of pain and really wishes that he had some goddamn pain killers. Jensen decides to use his new found knowledge that maybe he's a little bit in love with Cougar to his advantage. Also he's just been shot and is possibly concussed so if it goes badly he can totally blame it on that.
"Will you kiss me?" Jensen asks. Cougar looks surprised, but in a Cougary way so he shows no sign of shock except a slightly raised eyebrow.
He seems to be considering it before he nods. Cougar leans in, fingers light and silky soft on Jensen's jaw. Jensen wonders vaguely if he uses moisturizer and if so, can he make fun of him for it? And should he? Because if their going to be doing this more often he wants the smooth skin to stay. He likes how it feels on his jaw.
Cougar leans in and all thoughts of moisturizer evaporate from Jensen's mind.
And then their actually kissing and it is fucking awesome. It's kind of awkward from the angle Jensen's laying at, and because of that Cougars cowboy hat is hitting Jensen in the forehead. But none of that matters in the least because, He's Kissing Cougar, and he was totally right this is the best painkilling distraction EVER.
Cougar smells like aftershave and tastes like cigarillos. Actually that's a total lie, he smells kind of like the dirt he had been laying in to get a shot a while back, and he doesn't really taste like anything definable, maybe a little like mint toothpaste, if Jensen was being generous. But doesn't the first description sound so much more romantic than "He smelled like dirt and tasted like nothing."? Yeah, thought so.
They hear a chopper in the distance and Cougar leans back. Jensen unsuccessfully fights a whine, whatever, Cougar knows he's whiny and he still kissed him anyway!
Clay jumps out of the chopper and yells "You two alright?"
"Fucking spectacular Colonel." Jensen murmurs once Clay is close enough to hear.
"Really? Cause you look like shit." Pooch says with a grin.
"So does yo momma." Jensen shoots back half heartedly.
Cougars lips are curved in a small little genuine smile, and Jensen's pretty sure it's not because of his lameass joke.
And despite the fucking bullet wound he does feel pretty much spectacular, fabulous even. Cougar has the most amazing smile.

"IloveyouIloveyouIloveyouIloveyou." Jensen whispers rapidly, He's never said it, but being stabbed really puts your priorities in check. The act of saying It hurts like a son of a bitch but it doesn't matter. This is a really fucking dangerous job and Cougar HAS to know how he feels.
The aforementioned Cougar is pressing heavily on the stupid fucking knife wound. His dark eyes glare at Jensen from under the brim of his cowboy hat. "You'll be fine."
There are two Cougars now which under any other circumstances could be considered, by Jensen's standards, to be a very fun and sexy thing. But now it just kind of worries him because, dude, double vision can not be a good thing. He attempts to focus on one of the Cougars. "No. You need to know. Incase-" He swats at the air feeling like he's going to pass out. "Damn it which one of you bitches are real?! No never mind, doesn't matter I love you Cougar, all of you."
If Cougar were any other person right now might be an opportune moment to roll his eyes, instead he just settles on glaring at Jensen and pretty much conveying the same message. "You'll be fine."
Cougars radio buzzes and Clays voice crackles from the com. "You two alright?"
Cougar doesn't look noticeably relived, but Jensen sees the hard line of his shoulders ease up somewhat and knows that he is. "Jensen has been injured. He needs medical attention."
"I've been stabbed Colonel, stabbed!!"
"We'll be there in five, you alright till then?" Clay says showing absolutely no sympathy for Jensen. Clays an asshole.
"Stabbed! Who the fuck stabs people anymore?!" Jensen asks in a perfectly reasonable tone.
"I'll take that as a yes." Clay says, Jensen can hear the smirk in his voice..
He hears Pooch snicker in the background. "Dumbass got stabbed? Can't let him out of the house for five minutes before he's getting himself into trouble." Then he makes a douchey tsk, tsk sound.
Ooh he is so telling Jolene on him when they get home. She'll put him in his place for being mean to Jensen when he's injured.
"We'll be there in ten. Jensen, you try not to be bleed out."
Jensen grins, it's tight and his lips are chapped, and give a lazy two fingered salute. "Siryessir."
The movement of his arm seems to mess with whatever Cougars doing, because he glares sharply at Jensen and pulls his arm down.
Clay speaks again. "And Cougar, you take care of that idiot. We need a computer specialist."
The radio goes dead and Cougar whispers, so quiet Jensen will later second guess whether he even heard it, "I always will."
And okay he's been stabbed, it's pretty bad and he should probably (definitely) stay as still as possible and let Cougar fix him up, but dude he has to kiss him for that, it's a rule.
Cougar turns around to grab something out of the medkit (which they really should have started using a looong time ago, its suprisingly useful when they get injured on a regular basis). Jensen uses one arm for leverage and when Cougar turns back he swings the other arm around his neck, working with the momentum of the motion until he gets close enough to press their lips together.
Alright so he actually kind of smashes their faces together, it hurts, like a lot, but he's pretty sure it's the thought that counts.
Cougars mouth opens in surprise, Jensen uses it as an opportunity to sneak his tongue in, he runs it over Cougars bottom lip and resists the urge to pump the air (because hello, mood killer) when Cougar begins to kiss him back.
After a moment Cougar breaks away, his glared discounted by his obvious reluctance to separate, and forces Jensen back into his earlier position.
"Your a fool." Cougar murmurs with familiar fond exasperation. His fingers are gentle in the blondes hair and Jensen easily translates his words: "I love you."
Jensen beams at the other man. "Yeah, but I'm your fool." which actually means: "I love you too and I think we should be together forever."
Cougar turns away to grab something but Jensen can still see the small smile playing at the corners of his lips. He takes it to mean Cougars pretty much okay with that.

Okay so this time it's mostly not Jensen's fault. It is a LITTLE bit, but its not his fault he broke his ankle and slowed them down therefore ensuring they got caught. Clay is now pissed because they lost information about Max, so he's been screaming at him and him alone for a while now, so apparently he doesn't realize that little fact.
Jensen hates being yelled at more than he hates broccoli. And cats. Not to be fucking trusted those cats. When he was nine one came up and started rubbing against him and purring (hereby associated with searing horror), then suddenly, without warning it went batshit crazy and scratched the hell out of his face. It took his sister ten minutes to pull the fucker off.
Anyway, now his face is burning and he's trying to ignore Clay. Anyone else he might scream right back, but with Clay it just makes things worse. Jensen hears his moms voice in his head "You just ignore the bully baby and he'll go away." Then she gave him a kiss and a peanut butter cookie. He had been six, but her advice is still sound.
It's about seven minutes into the yelling when Cougar stands and flicks his head up so he's staring Clay right in the eye. "Leave him alone or I'll shoot you dead."
Clays eyebrows disappear into his hair line. Pooches jaw drops and he stares from Cougar to Jensen with a look of growing understanding. Aisha is just grinning, looking smug instead of shocked.
Clay doesn't take his eyes off Cougar, but Jensen can see that he knows why Cougar is doing this too. "Whatever." He growls slamming the door as he stalks out of the room.
Jensen can't blame him. Clays definitely not a coward, but he's also not a moron. He knows Cougar can kill him and he doesn't make idle threats.
Cougar sits back in his chair the moment the door closes. Idly cleaning his gun, with his feet resting on the chair in front of him, like nothing happened.
It takes about three seconds before Pooch starts laughing hysterically. Jensen doesn't see what's so funny, that was undoubtedly awesome (Sometimes Clay needs to be told when to chill the fuck out) but not hilarious. Even Aisha is snickering after a little bit.
"What?" Jensen asks and Pooch laughs even harder. It reminds him of the incident with the wall and the incredible security system, he hadn't been able to stop laughing for nearly an hour afterwards. Even after Clay dumped a bucket of cold water on his head.
Aisha holds out a hand to Jolene who sighs and grudgingly passes her a fifty. Jensen repeats his question, this time directed just at her. She smirks. "I bet her fifty bucks that you two are fucking."
Jensen has a sort of full body spazz where he knocks over his chair despite the fact that all four legs are on the floor. Afterwards he will wonder if it actually looked as stupid as Pooch swears it did, but now he's fully focused on jumping up and pointing wildly at the lot of them. "Wa...I...Uh" Jensen says showing a masterful grasp of the English language, before resolving into gaping and making unintelligible confused bleating sounds.
Aisha rolls her eyes. "Seriously, your surprised? It's not like you two were exactly subtle, you've been at least eyefucking since I joined the team, probably way before. You'd have to be blind not to see it." She finishes her statement by leveling a significant look at Jolene.
Jolene puts her hands up in defense. "I didn't say that I didn't see it, I just assumed it was one sided. I mean yeah, Jensen has the adorkable nerd thing going for him, and his body is rocking-" Pooch stops laughing immediately and stares at Jolene in horror. She barrels on. "But have you SEEN Cougar?" Pooch makes a sad little whining sound in the back of his throat, Jolene reaches out and blindly pats his head in comforting way. Cougar tips his hat in acknowledgement.
Jensen is pretty sure he should be offended. But he can't because he has SEEN Cougar. The man is admittedly way out of his league. But back to the matter at hand, everyone apparently already knew about everything. Everything. God those two cunning wenches probably even know what he likes it bed. They Know All And See All.
Jensen feels he should address this. "So you- you knew!? Who else knew?! That's- Does Clay know?! Does my mom know?!" And knows he's back to fish face and unintelligible bleating. Spectacular.
Cougar apparently decides to be merciful and spare Jensen from having to deal with this right know. Cougar rests his gun on the table and saunters over to Jensen, not stopping his gait as he grabs his hand and leads them away, not seeming to care that Jensen's limping sort of ruins the affect.
"Where are we going?" Jensen asks, because Jensen is an idiot.
Cougar stops and let's go of his hand. He loops his fingers into the beltloops of Jensen's pants, pulling them close and rocking there hips together sensually. Cougar leans in so his lips are right against Jensen's ear, breath hot and wet as he whispers, "I, am going to fuck you."
Jensen shudders as Cougar rolls there hips together one more time, not seeming to care that their not nearly far enough down the hallway so that the others can't see them. Cougar breaks away contact suddenly leaving a breathless Jensen.
Then Cougar leans back and with a smirk on his lips he kisses Jensen once, slow and dirty like he's taking a drag from a cigarette. Cougar breaks away suddenly and walks swiftly towards the bedroom.
Jensen stares after him a little stunned. "Neat."
Aisha wolf whistles and Jolene catcalls, which makes Pooch sound like he's having an aneurysm.
Jensen grins stupidly and follows Cougar into the bedroom. Jensen figures that since Cougs has saved his ass so many times he deserves to get Jensen's ass, if you know what I'm saying.
...anal sex.
Yeah, you know what I'm sayin'.
