Summary: Jensen wants to keep the promise he made Jared. And maybe let him know that he feels the same way.
Disclaimer: These gorgeous boys aren’t mine, no matter how much I wish they were. They belong to themselves and each other and this isn’t true, probably.
A/N: This is a sequel to my last fic, tomorrow. It might make more sense to read that first. Thanks as always go to matalinolukaret ♥ (I tinkered after her beta, so all remaining mistakes are mine) Title from Michael Jackson’s song.
Jensen wakes up to an empty bed, the side that Jared was on gone cold. Shit. He knew Jared would freak out when he woke up, hung over and memories of last night flooding his brain.
Jensen gets out of bed, intent on finding Jared and keeping his promise from last night after Jared’s drunken confession.
Matt’s in the kitchen sipping his coffee, lost in his own thoughts. Jensen hip checks him as he passes by to grab his own cup of joe in the Cowboys mug Jared gave him as a cheesy Christmas present in high school. Jensen’s been careful with it and uses it on the days he needs that extra boost because the mug is gigantic.
“What’s up, Matt?” Jensen asks him. Matt startles out of his daydream and smiles at him.
“Nothing. Just feel like I could go back to bed and not come up for air for days.”
“I know the feeling,” Jensen says. He pauses, biting his lip before blurting out, “so Jared drunkenly told me he loved me last night.”
Matt’s blue eyes go big at that. It would be comical in any other case if Jensen weren’t internally freaking out that maybe Jared was going to take it all back.
“And?” Matt asks, urging Jensen on. Jensen looks down at his cup of coffee before continuing.
“And then passed out on me. I hauled him to my bed, but he wasn’t there when I woke up.”
“Jensen,” Matt says softly causing Jensen to look up, “it’ll be fine. Brad and I both know the boy is crazy about you. Ya’ll are it, you know? You’ll figure it out. He probably went for a run to clear his head and get rid of his hangover. He’ll be back soon.”
Matt’s soothing voice works wonders, calming Jensen down completely. He leans in to impulsively press a kiss against Matt’s scruffy cheek.
“Thanks, Mattie,” he whispers just as Brad’s voice booms behind him, “Quit macking on my boyfriend, Ackles.”
Jensen pulls back with a laugh and sticks his middle finger up at Bradley.
“I could have had him,” Jensen tells him.
Bradley moves behind Matt to wrap him in his arms and Jensen smiles at the pair, his heart aching a little with want.
“Keep dreaming,” Bradley teases. Matt looks up at Brad and kisses him softly and Jensen has to look away.
“I’ll leave you two lovebirds alone,” Jensen tells them as he heads to his bedroom, determined to come up with a plan to let Jared know he’s serious about this, and to reveal the secret he’s been hiding for years.

Jensen grades some papers, the mindless work giving him a chance to think about what to do to convince Jared that he’s in this, too. He turns on his radio to a station that plays love songs, knowing he’s a masochist, but maybe it’ll give him an idea when suddenly it hits him. He knows exactly what he needs to do.

Jensen stays in his room even when he hears Jared stomping in the house with his giant feet, back from his run just like Matt said. He knows Jared pauses for a second outside of Jensen’s door, can see him through the open crack, but then continues on to his own room.
Jensen takes a deep breath, knowing he’ll have to do this now before he loses the courage. He grabs his guitar from where it’s standing in the corner of the room and makes his way to Jared’s. He knocks on the door and hears Jared’s call of come in. Jensen slowly turns the knob and pushes it open, mouth dropping open at the sight in front of him.
Jared’s standing in only his shorts in front of the closet, debating what to wear. His back is facing Jensen and he can see the droplets of sweat gathering at the base of Jared’s spine. He sees the lines of muscles rippling as Jared reaches for a shirt. Jared turns and Jensen gulps audibly eyeing the sweat highlighting Jared’s ripped abs and the jut of his hipbone that Jensen wants to bite.
“Jensen?” Jared says cautiously.
Jensen’s eyes flick up to meet Jared’s and he feels his cheeks heating up from embarrassment. “Hey Jared. Uh, can we talk?”
Jared closes his eyes, like he really doesn’t want to do this, but Jensen’s not giving up now. He can’t, not being so close to having all his dreams come true.
“Sure,” Jared says sitting on the bed. Jensen doesn’t think him sitting on it too would be a good idea so he pulls up the cushy desk chair in front of Jared and sits down, guitar in his lap. He wipes his sweaty hands on his jeans, trying to rid himself of nerves.
“So what do you remember from last night?” Jensen asks.
Jared’s eyes widen a bit in surprise and he licks his lips before answering.
“Uh I remember getting so drunk that I tried to kiss you. Then pretty much spilled my guts. And then I passed out on you, I think. And woke up in your bed.”
“Yeah, that’s pretty much what happened. Jared, did you mean it?” Jensen asks, voice cracking a little.
Jared’s eyes widen a little more and he looks down at his toes.
“Yeah,” he mumbles. Jensen grins wide and starts to play the instrument in his lap. He strums to Michael Jackson’s You Are Not Alone and sings quietly along. Jared’s eyes fly to his, but Jensen keeps singing, revealing his secret, and pretty much serenading Jared right now.
He finishes the song, eyes still locked on Jared’s.
“Really?” Is all Jared can say and Jensen just nods, not trusting himself.
Jared falls to his knees in front of Jensen and pulls him in for the sweetest kiss Jensen’s had. They’re going to have an extensive talk about this, but Jensen takes the moment to just revel in this for now.
