Even though dinner was a bust, Jensen hopes their date is still salvageable. They head back to the dorm, deciding to walk because it’s a nice night out and campus isn’t too far away. Jared tries to apologize once again when they leave the Mexican restaurant but Jensen holds his hand up, halting Jared from saying anything.
“Seriously Jared, it’s okay. And if you apologize one more time, I’m leaving your ass here,” Jensen says jokingly.
Jared mimes zipping his lips closed and throwing the key away and Jensen shakes his head in fondness. He’s grown to adore the gigantic dork over the past few days.
While they don’t actually hold hands, Jared and Jensen’s fingers do brush each other’s again and again, always drawing a smile from both of them when they do. They don’t talk much, happy to be in each other’s company. Jensen glances at Jared from the corner of his eye when he doesn’t think Jared is looking, but happens to catch his gaze staring back more often than not. A deep flush rises in his cheeks every time he’s caught, but he can’t help but always look back for more. Jared’s beautiful underneath the full moon, eyes bright with dimples cut deep in his cheeks with his permanent grin.
Jared nudges his shoulder and Jensen hip checks him, the constant touching and flirty looks getting him even more excited. Jensen can’t quite believe that it’s technically their first official date, not after it felt like it’s been months since that first day he saw Jared offering free hugs, rather than a mere few weeks.
They finally get to Jensen’s dorm and Jensen pulls out his student ID, swiping it before the door clicks open. They go up three flights of stairs and Jensen unlocks the door, waving Jared inside.
Jared stops in the middle and looks around and Jensen tries looking at it through fresh eyes as he quickly changes into something relatively clean and sticks the leftovers in the fridge. Jared lives on campus too, but on the other end, and even though the general layout is the same of each dorm, the details are always different. Misha’s side of the room is like a hurricane swept through it, but Misha calls it ‘organized chaos.’ He knows exactly where everything is, even if nobody else does.
Jensen’s side is a bit neater, clothes put away. His bed isn’t made, though, never really is. It’s easier to just get into bed if it’s unmade, and that might be why he likes his naps a lot. There’s a bulletin board full of random pictures of Misha and him at their first college party, of Matt and Chris and Steve, of random places on campus that are now being renovated.
“I like it,” Jared declares and Jensen smiles brightly at him, happy to have Jared’s stamp of approval, even if he wasn’t expecting it to matter.
“I’m glad,” Jensen says and walks over to his bookshelf to look at his DVD collection. “Did you have any particular movie in mind?”
“Nah, just gimme some explosions and something I can laugh at, and I’ll be happy.”
Jensen pulls out Kick-Ass, glad he bought the movie when it came out the past week. He holds it up for Jared to see. “This okay?”
“Perfect,” Jared tells him with a smile.
Jensen puts the movie in his DVD player and turns around to see Jared all comfortable on Jensen’s bed. Hot white heat swoops through Jensen’s belly at the sight and Jensen’s mind wanders to Jared being all comfortable naked on Jensen’s bed. He shakes his head to clear those images, because they’ll get to that soon enough, and crawls in next to Jared.
Jared hooks an arm around Jensen’s shoulder and curls Jensen in close to him, their sides flush against each other. Jensen can honestly say that he has never felt more comfortable in his life. He’s surrounded by the unique Jared smell, and Jensen’s quickly gotten addicted to the way it makes him feel - safe and warm and all tingly inside. He kind of feels like a pre-teen with his first crush, he’s sure he’ll be giggling any day now over Jared.
Jensen’s obviously not really paying attention to the movie, to the teenager with the squeaky voice trying to become a superhero, instead lost in his thoughts of Jared. He’s completely surprised then when he feels soft lips against his own. His eyes close of their own accord as one hand comes up to tangle in Jared’s messy mop of hair. His mouth opens on a sigh, surprise melting away, and he kisses Jared back.
He can feel Jared’s soft smile against his mouth and Jensen can’t help but smile too, which has him pulling away because they’re really not kissing anymore, just smiling stupidly against each other.
“Not really interested in the movie, Jared?” Jensen asks him. Jared shakes his head.
“Interested in something else,” he says mischievously before leaning in again to capture Jensen’s lips with his own. Jensen’s interested in that, too, so he continues to kiss Jared, surging into it while he raises himself up to straddle Jared, knees falling on either side of Jared’s thighs. Jared’s hands grip Jensen’s waist as they continue to kiss like they have nowhere else to be.
The kiss is hot and heavy and feels amazing when suddenly the door bangs open. Jensen instinctively pulls away from Jared to look at the source of noise and sees Misha standing still in the doorway, eyes wide. He smirks at them before waving and winking lewdly, walking back out. Jensen is going to kill him. He ducks his head to hide his red face in Jared’s neck and Jared laughs, running one giant palm over Jensen’s back.
He crawls off Jared, sitting next to him again, and rests his head on Jared’s shoulder. Maybe Misha’s entrance was a good thing. Jensen’s still going to kill him, though.
