The Banker and the Hooligan: Extras
This post is pure self-indulgence, so please excuse me, it's just after spending so many months with this story, I am attached and I would really like to share the following two scenes. Both had to be cut from the main story, but I couldn't quite delete them completely.
The first is an extension of the last scene. I thought it would be neat to have something with Jay's family…
~
He let Jay reel him in for another kiss, letting himself get lost in it, in Jay, for a minute or two before pulling away. “And I-”
Jay whimpered. “Anything, I swear, anything you want. Just shut up and kiss me.”
And Jensen did, only to be cut short by a loud cough. He turned toward the sound, squeaking when he saw Sharon Padalecki standing at the doorway.
He jumped away from Jay, feeling his whole face heat up. “Ma’am-Governor, I mean Mrs. Pada-”
“Hey, Mama,” Jay said, taking Jensen’s hand and looking his mother straight on.
“Jared,” she said before turning her attention to Jensen, eyeing him up and down sternly and raising an eyebrow.
Jensen gulped. And after a squeeze from Jay’s hand, he squared his shoulders and smiled his best smile. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, ma’am.”
A long moment passed where no one said anything, then Sharon laughed and Jensen knew exactly where Jay got his dimples from. “Stop looking so tense, Jensen. I just want to say hello to the man who has stolen my son’s heart. He’s done nothing but rave about you since yesterday!”
“Yeah?” Jensen murmured, feeling a true smile take over his face and turned to see the tips of Jay’s ears pinking.
“Mama-”
“Oh hush, you,” she said. “I’m here to meet Jensen.” She walked closer. Jensen pulled his hand away from Jay and made to shake Sharon’s but she pulled him into a hug instead. “It’s lovely to meet you, Jensen.”
Jensen stood shock-still before his brain seemed to come back online and he hugged back. “Thank you, ma’am.”
She pulled away. “None of that now. You call me Sharon.”
Before Jensen could say anything, Jared groaned. “Oh, crap. I never closed the door to the balcony.”
Sharon grinned.
“Just how much did you overhear?” Jay asked.
“Most of it. Your father did too.”
Jay’s eyes darted to the door, no one was there. “Where is he?”
“Signing some paperwork with Ms. Gamble, I believe.”
“You’re going with Edlund Bank?” Jensen asked, surprised.
She nodded. “We hear they’re a good bank.”
“What does Dad think of me quitting?”
Sharon glanced at Jay, tilted her head. “Your father and I only ever wanted for you to be happy. We’ll support any decision you make. Now, I have a dinner to get ready for. Will you two be coming?”
Jay looked at Jensen. “They’ll be reporters there. You’re sure to be in tomorrow’s paper.”
Jensen shook his head. He didn't need nor want to be in the papers.
He already had everything he wanted.

While I adored the idea, (Jensen's reaction to the governor was such fun to write and I wanted to show Jay's family's support of him) the theme sort of changed during the beta process and it didn't fit anymore.
The next piece is short but means so much to me. They were the first words I wrote for this fic…

Somewhere along Cibolo Creek
"You know, when you said you wanted to have sex on a bed of moss, I didn’t think you meant literally."
"You love it."
"I’m buck naked in a forest, Jay, with your come dripping out of me. I’ve probably got streaks of moss all down my backside that’s going to be a bitch to scrub off and there’s a squirrel that’s been giving me the stink eye for a good ten minutes."
"You love it."
"I haven’t had a proper shower in four days and haven’t eaten anything besides canned goods and frozen boxes in nearly two weeks, which by the way, after last night? You are so officially banned from having baked beans ever again."
…
"Stop snickering into my neck, asshole. Wait, what are you doing? Are you sniffing me? Get off-oh my god, are you hard again? How is that even possible, you-"
"You’re buck naked in a forest, Jen, with my come leaking out of you, of course I’m hard again."
"-hooligan."
"Like I said, you love it."
And, yeah, maybe Jensen kind of did.

I was going to open with that, then do a 'three months earlier' thing and start the fic proper. I realized pretty early in my writing that this wasn't going to work for the story opener. So I moved it to the end, as a bit of a 'three months later' epilogue. I had no idea how attached to this little bit of dialogue I would become.
From then on, every time I wanted to just throw this story out, give up and forget about it, I would read this and feel inspired to keep going, to get Jensen and Jay here.
It also gave me direction. Like, how in the world was I going to get Jensen to this point? It kept me on task, gave me a goal to work towards to and, ultimately? The reason for this fic.
The first is an extension of the last scene. I thought it would be neat to have something with Jay's family…
