author's note: Written for my daaaarling
bekkis for her birthday! I know you're in bed already but I had to get this posted now that I've finished it. I decided to take the two pairings I know you love and not ask for a prompt because I know how you like it. ;) Unbeta'd because it's almost midnight and I'm too tired to bother. Title from Matt Nathanson.
Jared watches Danneel come into the coffee shop with a huge smile on her face. He hasn't seen her for the last few days because after he found his boyfriend cheating on him with some freshman girl, he went home to recover. His momma made all his favorite food and let him sit on the couch in his boxers and watch cartoons. She sent him back yesterday and he slept for 12 hours before dragging himself up for work.
Danneel has that look like she's just had amazing sex and Jared's jealous. Whatever guy got to sleep with her has to be hot as hell. Jared's ready for some rebound sex, that's for sure.
"What did you get up to yesterday?" Jared asks with a wide grin.
Danneel bounces a little and Jared tries not to laugh as all the in the shop focus on her chest.
"Obviously, you've gotten laid. Gimme details!"
"Remember the guy I was talking about at Halloween? The one I hooked up with but never got his name and was so drunk I barely remembered what he looked like except for the freckles?"
"How could I forget? You wouldn't shut up about how he was your soulmate and you needed to find him." Danneel grins and Jared laughs. "You found him?"
"Right after I told you to go home to your mom after the shit with Justin went down. We saw each other from across the quad and even though he didn't see my face, he still recognized me and I recognized him..."
"And it was like a cheesy chick flick, whatever. Get to the good stuff!"
Danneel laughs. "He asked me to go to see his friends' band with him. Turns out their Riley's friends too, which made it a little awkward, but we were all drinking so that didn't last. Then he took me back to his dorm and we fucked. He's amazing in bed, Jared. The things he can do with his mouth? Damn."
"Lucky girl," Jared says. He's jealous. And horny.
"Oh, I know. We're going out again tomorrow night. Dinner, then his dorm. Apparently his roommate practically lives at his girlfriend's apartment, which is good for us."
Jared hates his roommate. The guy sexiles him all the fucking time. "Does he have a hot brother? Cousin? Best friend?"
"Well, his best friend actually is pretty cute. Some yoga guy. They were at the party together." She shrugs. "Give me a damn iced chai, coffee bitch."
"Fine, fine," Jared says and quickly makes her one, not bothering to charge her. He doesn't really take advantage of all the free drinks he's allowed to have. He's not a big fan of coffee and he has a problem with drinking too much caffeine.
"Mmm, you're a good boy." Danneel takes a long, slow sip and sighs happily, shivering from the chill of it.
"Looks like you're enjoying that a little too much, babe," a husky voice says from behind her. Jared's head snaps up and he gapes a little.
Danneel spins around and laughs. "Jensen, hey." She kisses him lightly, then grins back at Jared. "This is my boyfriend. Jensen, this is my flaming best friend Jared."
"I'm not flaming," Jared says, then remembers he's wearing a pink striped shirt with rainbow cuffs and his hair has a rainbow hair clip in it from when Sandy came in earlier and slipped it in.
Danneel raises her eyebrows, Jensen just grins and holds out a hand. "Nice to meet you either way," he says. Jared shakes his hand. The guy is hot, almost as hot as Danneel, and Jared can tell that they're going to be good together from the way Jensen looks at her in awe, like he can't believe he managed to get a girl like that.
Doesn't mean that Jared's not going to keep any eye on the guy to make sure he realizes what a great girl he's got. "Nice to meet you too. Danneel was just sharing the intimate details of your sex life with me."
Danneel laughs. "Do you feel like a big boy, Jared, telling your big boy lies?" Jensen's blushing faintly, just a thin line of pink along the bridge of his nose like a damn anime character. It's adorable.
"What'd you tell him?" he asks Danneel, glancing at her. She rolls her eyes, laughing again.
"Okay, okay. I just said you were amazing and know how to use your mouth well." She grins wickedly. "All of which is true."
"Ahh," Jensen says. He's red all over now and Jared shakes his head.
"You poor man. She's always like this. I'm sorry you have to put up with it."
"Fuck you, Jay," Danneel says, but she's looking at Jensen like he's the cutest thing ever. Jared agrees.
"Uh," Jensen says. "Can I just have a medium coffee?"
"Room for cream?" Jared asks automatically.
"Jensen only takes his coffee black and boring. 'cause he's lame."
It's a new voice. Jared looks up from where he's pouring the coffee and when he sees the guy who just spoke, he misses the cup and pours scalding hot liquid all over his hand.
"Fuck!" he says and rushes to the sink, running his hand under cold water. Jensen's punching the new guy in the arm and Danneel looks like she's torn between laughter and worry.
The skin on Jared's hand turns a bright pink and he whines softly. "It huuurts."
"There's aloe under the counter, dumbass," Danneel says. "Use it."
Jared does and it helps a little. It still hurts.
The new guy, with his dark messy hair and bright blue eyes, leans over the counter and smiles at Jared. The smile is charming, full of white, perfect teeth, and Jared notices the guy's stubble covering his strong jaw. He swallows hard.
"Sorry about that," new guy says. "All my fault. Want me to kiss it better?"
Jared makes an embarrassing sound, cheeks going red. "Um."
"Jared, this is Misha," Jensen says, pulling Misha's hair to tug him back. Misha just keeps smiling.
"Hi," Jared says stupidly. "I'm Jared."
"Yeah, I got that. You're also like, eight feet tall."
"No, just. Six and a half, actually." Jared's still blushing. Fuck, he never does this. Misha's just caught him off guard.
"Exactly. Giant." Misha looks him over slowly. His eyes linger on Jared hips. Or maybe what's hidden between them. Jared resists the urge to cover himself.
Danneel smirks. "Yes, Misha, he's that giant everywhere. We've skinny dipped together before. And I walked in on him getting laid before."
Jensen looks startled. "Can I just. Have my coffee? I'll even pour it myself if you want me to."
"No, I got it," Jared says quickly. He looks away from Misha's piercing gaze and cleans up the spill before pouring Jensen a new cup. "It's on the house, man. Sorry about, y'know."
"S'fine," Jensen says, already distracted by the coffee. He takes the lid off, inhales deeply and takes a small sip before replacing the lid. "Good coffee."
"Yeah," Jared says, concentrating on cleaning the counter so he doesn't have to look back at Misha. He knows Danneel's laughing at him.
"Do you work out?" Misha asks. He reaches over and squeezes Jared's bicep. "Oh, that's nice. You should do yoga. I teach a class on campus. It really helps with flexibility."
Danneel smiles slowly. "I've been thinking of joining a yoga class. What do you think, Jensen? You'd look really awesome in yoga pants."
Jensen goes red and focuses on sipping his coffee, staying silent. Danneel's smile turns fond and she kisses his cheek. "Or we can just practice the positions on our own."
Misha snorts and looks back at Jared, eyeing his chest. Jared's shirt is kinda tight underneath his apron. He pulls at it nervously.
"What do you think, Jared? You up for it?"
"Uh. Why not?" he says. Jared knows he's only saying that because, well. Maybe he wants to show off for Misha a little bit. The guy obviously appreciates his body.
"Great! It's in Hewitt, from 2 to 3:15. If you show up a little early, we can talk. And stuff." Misha winks lasciviously. "Now can I get some green tea?"
"Right." Jared's a little distracted by the implication of and stuff, but he manages to pour the hot water and drop the tea bag in without burning himself. Misha smiles brightly when Jared hands it over, then before Jared can say it's on the house - because he'd feel rude letting Jensen and Danneel have their drinks for free but making Misha pay - when Misha slides a ten into the tip jar and blows Jared a kiss.
"See you 'round, Giant," he says, then leaves.
Jared just stares after him.
"So, that's my best friend Misha," Jensen says. Danneel laughs happily.
"I'm gonna start planning double dates all the time now. It'll be wonderful!"
Jared thunks his head on the counter. "Fuck my life."
