So, here's the deal.
Yesterday, as part of my drabble meme, I wrote this
Jared/Jensen high school AU snippet. And liked it! And I was trying to write more and really all I came up with was Jensen's POV on the same scene.
So I wrote that.
(
Jensen POV! )
Because all the people who he hangs out with are people he met through football, and none of them gave a shit about him before that started, and if he stopped, they would all stop giving a shit.
Last night, Dan called him to ask why he was hanging out with that Padalecki kid.
Jensen plucks at his shoelace. "Do your friends like you?"
Jared glances at him. They're on the benches; Jared wanted to watch track practice to see Chad fail at the shot put, and Jensen didn't have anything better to do. "Why wouldn't they?"
"Cuz you suck."
"If you want me to help you out you're not doing well with it."
Jensen sighs. "My friends just like me because I play football."
"It's about all you've got going for you."
"They don't get why I hang out with you."
"They're stupid. I'm awesome." Jared stands up, brushes the dirt off his khaki shorts. There are grass stains on them; it's not like Jared's done anything, so Jensen has no idea where they came from. Jared is mysterious. "You like hanging out with me?"
"Yeah."
"Well," says Jared. "I like you. So you have one friend who could care less that you're awesome at football." He grins. "Want to get ice cream?"
"It's like you're five."
"Man, I wish. I'd be such a badass five-year-old."
Jensen laughs. "Yeah, sure you would, man."
Jared offers him a hand up, and Jensen takes it. "You like me?"
Jensen flushes. "Yeah."
Jared smiles. "Then yes. My friends like me."
