“Oh… I… I bought a house on Winchester lane? I thought…”
Shit Jensen thought, he had no other choice. “Oh yeah… I guess you’re moving into Mr. Manners house, he was a good man, and his house was beautiful.”
Jared had to do something, say something smart; he couldn’t just oogle at the guy in front of him like that any longer. “Yeah I kinda know I found a few of his things still there, seems like his family didn’t care for them.”
Jensen’s face fell, it was true Kim Manners’ nephews were nasty people who cared for nothing but themselves, that’s why Jensen drove the man back and forth from his chemo, and pretty much every medical appointment.
“Well… welcome to the neighborhood.” Jensen finished the conversation abruptly before the guy asked for more personal info. “bye Maddie.” He waved the dog and was about to run off when the man held his hand.
“I... I’m new in the neighborhood, obviously, and I’d like to… you know…”
Jensen once more smiled. “You’ll do great, everyone is nice here, mostly couples, so I bet you and your family will fit just in.”
“Actually.” The guy ducked adorably and looking from under his bangs straight into Jensen’s eyes. “It’s just me and Maddie, my girl. We’re moving here so she can have plenty of room to run around.”
Jensen finally smiled, his real smile, not the polite one you give to people at a red light. “really?” the dog once more nudged at Jensen’s hand asking for more scratching on his ears, as Jensen had been doing since the conversation started. “That’s very sweet of you.”
And that was it, Jared knew he was gone, the guy’s smile made his eyes gleam with a different golden spark and brought crinkles around his eyes and those sexy as fuck lips parted showing even teeth and he just wanted to kiss him.
“So… if I’d like to grab a cup of coffee…”
“Sure!” Jensen took his earplugs. You know how it goes, this way both think the other is supposed to call and by the time they call you it’s been so long it’ll be awkward, so they don’t call. “We should set a date or something.” Smiled and waved and moved away.
Jensen ran six blocks to go back around to his home.
Jared was at the window hanging new curtains when he saw Jensen getting home, on his way to the door the man took of his sweaty shirt exposing a strong muscled, toned body and Jared felt all hot and bothered. He wanted to know his neighbor a bit more.
But Jensen was never home; Jared saw every morning how the guy dashed out the door to his car, jacket on his arms, messenger bag on his shoulder and traveling mug on his hand, sometimes his phone stuck between his shoulder and his ear. He knew nothing about Jensen seeing him coming back from his run every morning so he waited until the last second to go out, so he had a plausible excuse not to stop and chat with him after the one night he was coming back home and found a teddy bear and balloon at his terrace with a sign: “Hi! I’m new wanna be my friend?” he pretended to throw it away but instead had it stuffed in his closet.
One morning Jared made up his mind and skipped running to bring brownies to the guy, on his way there the neighbor smiled and waved not even turning at him twice, he stayed there until the car pulled out of the garage, and moved fast to get close to the window, Jensen was talking to someone on speaker. “… but the catheter was clean, I don’t get it…” and blinked surprised blushing a little. “Hold on Mish…” and to the man. “Hi… what can I do for you?”
Jared offered the plate. “I made brownies for you…” Jensen smiled with the excitement of a 5 y.o. “thank you I love them…” big lie, but he took the plate. *I love them more…* a male’s voice filled the car, “Thank you…” offered Jensen frowning for a second and closing the window fast. “Sorry I’m on a hurry.” Jared was left there standing stupidly in his neighbor garage entrance wondering if the voice on the phone was the green eyed guy’s boyfriend.

Quick question: the prompt specifically requested "if sex bottom Jensen only" and while you list bottom!Jensen as one of the fill's kinks, you also list top!Jensen and bottom!Jared.
Since the position preference is a rather sensitive topic in this meme, and the prompt was very specific on this matter, we want to clarify whether or not this fill will indeed include top!Jensen and bottom!Jared. If it will, the mods would suggest posting your story as an unprompted fill right here.
Thanks for your understanding!

would you please remove it? it's all bottomJensen in the small bit of sex written on this angsty mess.
thank you for making me notice it! I read the prompt a million times and still managed to mess it up *slaps herself*

There were no top/bottom tags yet on Pinboard as we only add kinks once they are actually featured in a fill.
Our wonderful tagger will update Pinboard and make sure to only use bottom!Jensen for your story. :)

“Shut up Misha…” Jensen said feeling his face hot.
“Why? He sounds cool, and if I rely on your description he must look like sin on tight jeans, right?”
“Seriously not now…” Jensen groaned.
“Jensen you know not everyone is trying to hurt you, right?”
“Yeah, yeah... and I’m a good person and deserve love… ok Paulo Coelho, I get it…” he flicked his phone in anger and drove quietly, not even singing along with the radio as he used to do, thinking about the one time, it was march, it was his birthday and his bf had been saying things like he’d have a present for him. “You’ll never forget it.” He said as he rubbed Jensen’s back up and down. It was so stupid of him to get excited, so stupid of him to actually expect a present.
Jensen thought that maybe for once his birthday would be a good memory, having his boyfriend pulling his clothes off ripping seams and breaking buttons was not what he was expecting. A dry finger up his hole wasn’t either, he even said happy birthday as he practically raped Jensen, and that’s how things are, right? That’s how the thing others call love works, right? So; no, Jensen is okay the way he is, alone and safe… he won’t risk himself again.
He turned to the sweet smelling brownies; he remembers those, from the one guy who cheated on him. “Why you care, we’re not even together, are we?” he said his teeth still stained with chocolate. “I mean you’re not even putting it out, why you care I’m looking for some on the side?” Jensen felt like throwing the entire plate away, he just couldn’t; instead he shared them around at work.
“So…” Misha was trying to erase the obvious dark stain on his light blue scrubs. “Is he as dreamy as you make it sound when you’re half asleep and stitching drunks?”
“He is tall, shoulders as broad as the alps, face that’s vogue front page material… and he’s given me presents, for reasons I don’t understand, he’s so sweet and…” and letting out a pitiful sigh, “and totally out of my league.”
Misha let out a sound that only made things worse, because how come was Jensen supposed not to feel like a looser if his friend were making the kind of sounds you make for a pudgy puppy falling asleep on his food?
A small hand reached his ear flicking it. “Sweetie…” and Rachel sat next to him taking the brownies plate away from a greedy Misha.
“Have you seen your gorgeous face? You’re in everyone’s league.” Took a bite of her brownie and moaned obscenely. “OH... Jensen marry him!”
Jensen chuckled and hid his face, how could he pretend it was okay to like the neighbor, he even managed not to have a name for him yet. So he doesn’t feel tempted to fantasize about him. Another hand took a brownie. “NNOO!!” Rachel took the plate away. “Those are mine... No…” and moved it away from Misha who reached for another one. “You had five pieces already and I only had one… besides Mac is still taking care of that old lady, he’d want one too.”
Misha laughed but seeing that Jensen was looking down pushed him a bit. “hey, seriously… you’re the most handsome guy I’ve ever met, everyone wants you and those who are not would go at least a little gay for you if you do as much as give them the time of the day.” Jensen was blushing hiding his adorable embarrassed smile.
Misha didn’t know, as much as he was his friend he came long after, he had no idea, Rachel was different they were the last two. “Is this because of…?” Jensen clamped a hand over her brownie and she got quiet. She bit her bottom lip. “.. I knew it.”
Yeah she knew, she was the other survivor, they were dumb kids back then, they went out of their way after school, and one of them was drunk, and Jensen was just happy because they was dating a seniors and for once in his life Jensen felt included in something.
Before that he was always the pretty one.
“You’re a girl... Look at your face.” Said a boy and pushed him in kinder garden. “We won’t play with you.”
The boys never played with him, and it followed him to grade school, because girls said he had cooties and boys said he was a girl, his childhood had been very lonely.

With time Rachel and the rest came, she was one year under him, he was a junior when he got with is first girlfriend, because he was too scared to tell his new friends he was gay. He thought they’d hate him. He thought Ty would hate him, he was afraid he’d lose his friends if they knew.
He never expected to be called a faggot by Joanna, his first and only ever girlfriend when she found Jensen sucking face with a slightly drunk Ty.
Rachel and Mark, Kevin and Alec, Richard and Paula, Alona and Charlie, and Jensen and Ty; it was ridiculously perfect, until the night they went shopping for winter prom, Ty had a fifth of whiskey and passed it around at the coffee shop.
If you ask him it was all his fault, if he’d have had stood up against his bullies they would’ve never started a fight with Ty, if he tried at least to defend himself then Ty would’ve been buying ties instead of on a park at night. If he’d have stood against them Chad wouldn’t have shot Ty. Nobody had to die if he would’ve been braver.
“Jay…” Rachel was pale and her smile was forced. “stop it, I don’t need that right now.”
Misha looked form one to the other. “yeah, I don’t need you two going all weird in middle of our shift, there’s more grownups than kids here and I’m only a pediatrician.” He slapped Jensen’s arm. Move Mr. internal medicine specialist…” and pointed to a nurse holding a chart for him.
“Diabetic fainted at home while eating a whole box of After Eight chocolates.” She chanted. “Glicemia: 452… he just peed himself.” Jensen got up and moved fast.
“Maybe you can think about your Romeo while cleaning your patient.” Shouted Rachel and Jensen smiled, as if he needed any other excuse to think about the guy
Jared sneezed. “Gosh… I think I got the flu or something…”
Osric looked at him from over the screen he was looking at. “Some people think that when you sneeze out of the blue is because someone is thinking about you.”
Jared laughed. “And how could be thinking about me?”
Osric raised one eyebrow. “Let me see: The guy who’s eating MY brownies?” Jared made a face. “Seriously, look at you; you’re head over heels for him.”
“He’s perfect, and he was so cute with Maddie, I just…” Jared raised his hands for a second before letting them fall at the sides hitting his legs with a solid slap. “You should see him.”
Osric was looking at him over his crossed arms. “Maybe I visit you this weekend, if we end up this presentation and we get to have a real weekend?”
Jared sobered up and started working thinking about the green eyed guy, did he like the brownies?
He found his plate at the steps that night and the light of the next house’s kitchen was on, the soft melody of Nirvana floating out the window, but the voice was off, that was not Cobain.
Maddie came running with the leash on her snout and he patted her head. “Hi darling… I missed you.” He said as she dropped the leash and started barking animatedly, Jared noticed the music stopped.
But it took two more days to finally get a name for the guy next door. A lady came to him while he was leaving for work. “Hello there neighbor…” she said in a high pitched voice while holding a plate covered in tin foil. “Hi…” she said as she got close. “I’m Emily…” and reaching behind her she dragged a teen boy. “this is Spencer, my son… he wanted to say hi to your dog.”
The boy, a gawky pale boy looked at Maddie as if the dog were about to eat him whole. The dog growled menacingly for first time since Jared rescued her. “No I didn’t… ” he said pulling back.
“Maddie.” Jared cheaded but the dog ignored him.
“That’s kinda the Spencer effect…” Emily said frustrated. “So… I live across the street, and we’ve seen you around a couple times…”
“She and all the others from the coven drool after you every morning…” the kid said as his mother slapped him on the arm. “Mrs. Elba even took pictures when you were mowing the loan shirtless Sunday morning…” he said moving to a side to avoid his mother’s arm.
Reply
The lady had a tight lipped fake smile on. “Kids these days… huh? Anyway; I made you a casserole, since you live alone and I’m not sure you’re missing homemade food…” her eyes roamed Jared’s body before offering him the covered recipient. “Hope you like it.”
Jared took it but Maddie’s leash fell from his hand and the dog wandered ahead towards Spencer. The boy yelped and tried to move away until the dog wiggled her tail for him.
“She’s harmless, just pet her, you’ll be fine…” Jared says ignoring Mrs. Gibson -Emily as she repeats for the 15th time - offers to help with anything, and she means… any…thing.
When the attention turns toward the dog and the boy, she retreats to her house across the street.
“I’m sorry… ” Spencer said liking his lips. “Sometimes she’s really embarrassing.”
“Don’t worry… she seems nice.”
The boy chuckled. “She is, most of the time, nice to meet you…” he said while petting timidly Maddie’s head.
“Nice to meet you too…” he offered his hand to the boy and a little bit embarrassed asked: “Did they really took pictures?”
Spencer laughed. “Yes…” he giggled at the face of dismay Jared made. “Don’t worry, it’ll only last a couple weeks, they’ll go back to worship Jensen as usual… ” He said pointing to the next house, painted in light green with dark doors. It looked fit for Jensen.
“Apparently he’s perfect...” he said rolling his eyes. Jared laughed to hide the stupid smile he had on his face, his neighbor, with the most perfect smile and the most perfect eyes, and the most perfect face had finally a name… and a fan club.
“You know him right?” Spencer was looking away to Jensen’s house. “He’s some kind of doctor, so every lady around is taking her blouse off to show him something at every chance, it’s disgusting.” Jared laughed.
From across the street a tall dark haired man called for Spencer and waved to Jared. “That’s my dad, gotta go…” the kid ran away leaving Jared and maddie alone.
Jensen, his future husband’s name is Jensen.
Jensen was glad for one thing, in a whole month since the guy next door moved he hasn’t seen any of the ladies coming over to ask stupid obvious stuff, and he even had the chance to water the flower beds without anyone calling him to chat about anything.
He was not a hermit, but he was fine without being harassed by a bunch of married ladies rubbing in his face their families and objectifying him.
That’s why the knock at the door surprised him. He opened it to find Mr. and Mrs. Gibson from across the street; they were organizing a barbeque to meet new neighbors. “you know that a community like ours has to be close knitted, right?” asked Emily.
“Sure, how can I help?”
It was Greg, her husband who answered. “Since you’re so good with the kids, we were wondering if you don’t mind… you could organize some games for them maybe?”
YES! Jensen could do it. That way he would be away from the parents, away from the touchy feely ladies and away from every single person who’d try to get into his pants, he’d have had enough of cousins, and brothers, and sisters, and granddaughters and grandsons, he had enough of those who think they’ll fix Jensen as he were a broken toy. He was not broken; he was just not ready to be hurt again.
One thing changed though, from his original plan, that Friday before the bbq Rachel got to work with the same jeans from the day before. “What happened?” Jensen asked. “Thursday is no longer laundry day?”
She was pissed and at the verge of tears. “It’ll have been if my landlord weren’t sexual harassment expert! And tried to practice that art with Me.” she sat next to Jensen, “I can’t stay there Jay, he was there again this morning, right outside of my door… he didn’t even let me pass.” And huffing she finished. “I’m afraid… for first time in my life…” a sob finally left her mouth.
Jensen held her in a hug. “Come on Rache… you don’t have to go back… come home with me…”
Mac, a blonde surgeon got close literally running. “What he did to you this time Rachel?” the girl groaned and hid against Jensen’s shoulder.
Reply
Mac got up furious. “I’m gonna kill him!” while the surgeon was still promising death to the landlord Jensen was already setting things up with Rachel so she could move with him. “You’re setting a complaint for sexual harassment, right now, you hear me?”
Rachel smiled cleaning the last of the few tears she allowed herself to shed for such a thing. “Okay…” Mac nodded tightening the embrace. “You need where to stay?” he said and Misha and Jensen could see his ears turning pink. “You could come to my place.”
Rachel moved away from him in one push and got near Jensen. “I’m going home with my bro here…” Jensen nodded saying of course. “I’m not gonna cramp your style or something? Right?”
Jensen smiled and hugged her again kissing her head. “Nah, and be ready; we have a barbeque on my street tomorrow.” He felt happy, because it’ll be like when they were kids again.
Jared was excited when the day of the neighborhood get together arrived, after baking half the night every dessert recipe his mother sent him, he wanted to see which one was Jensen’s favorite, he was thrumming with energy. Until he saw outside the window and saw a second car parking in Jensen’s house. Jensen came out of the house to welcome someone. It was a girl; a gorgeous girl.
Jared saw as they hugged and the girl kissed Jensen’s cheek repeatedly then once more for a selfie before both of them brought boxes and suitcases out of the car and into the house just before people started preparing tables and grills.
Jared braced himself, he had no idea of how he could act normal when he had to see his Jensen with a girlfriend, and he might have made a mistake.
Maddie at his side he set his table full of pastries around noon, kids were waiting for Jensen, all crowding his front yard, he moved in khakis and polo shirt to met the people that was offering this party for the six new neighbors in the four street radius.
He greeted people, he smiled and shared some info, he was asked about his job, and the Oh that’s so interesting’s came quite fast after he said he worked as a consultant in an advertising company.
Then they all turned at the sound of laughter. Most of the kids were running and crowding around Jensen who was giving them water filled balloons. Behind him and carrying another bucket of balloons was the girl; dark wavy hair framing a beautiful face,
The gossiping started. “First time with a girl.”, “Kim told us he was into boys…”, “finally got over that old fart’s death.”
Jared felt the path of a hand on his shoulder and turned to see a guy from the street behind his house. “Oh don’t worry, you’ll get used to it” the man sounded even apologetic on Jensen’s behalf.
“Is the Poor guy’s curses; that pretty face of his. Not one of these women can stop drooling for him.” Jared chuckled, he understood every woman perfectly. “Don’t get the wrong idea though, he’s a gentleman and our ladies are just having fun. One day that old lady Elba is gonna get a sexual harassment complaint shoved up her throat though.” He slapped his shoulder a little bit harder. “Come, let’s get a beer, Greg’s burgers are the best, I’m sure he has some ready now.”
He was left alone as the man went for a beer to see two older boys pushing Spencer around, he moved fast to stop the abuse. “Go to your boyfriend then, bet he’s waiting for you.” And the guy slapped him across the face. “HEY!!” but the boys kept hurting his young friend. “Hey you!!”
Jared wasn’t aware of how much attention he’ll drag with just two calls, most of the adults were looking at the boys. A man shouted.
“DYLAN!! TYLER!!” it was one guy from the street behind Spencer’s. “Get the hell away from him. you’ll gonna forget what wifi is if you don’t leave him alone.” When the boys turned to leave the voice boomed once more. “stay where you are, you monkeys…”
Reply
“I’m fine dad…” Jared could hear cracked voice. Greg said a couple more things in hushed whispers and Spencer only nodded.
From across the street someone called the boy’s name. “Too important to play with us?” not a hint of care or fun in the voice, Jared looked surprised at Jensen. He offered the boy an open arm and held him close for a second.
Jensen had to, he knows how it feels, and he’s seen Spencer being bullied by those rabid dogs, don’t get him wrong, his father is a great person and Melissa their mom is a nurse at the same hospital he works at. It’s just some boys… have you ever seen a kid and you just knew that one they he’d be a jerk?
“You okay?” asked to Spencer while on a one arm hug. The boy nodded.
“Everyone saw, right?” Spencer asked.
“Rachel didn’t… wanna say hi to her?” and was pulling him into the yard where someone just burst a giant blue balloon over Rachel’s head making her squeal. “Hey Rache! I have reinforcements!” he shouted and the bright smile on her face made the boy forget his troubles for a second.
“Spencer!!” she offered him a hug. “Come here boy.” She was holding one balloon in each hand and the boy just knew what would happen to him, still smiling, and giving his cell phone to Jensen; the kid moved forward to hug the lady and being soaked. Jensen put the phone on the bag he was carrying with his and moved to his car where the rest were. His eyes fixed in someone staring at him, his neighbor, Jensen waved and moved back into the house to fill more balloons for the younger ones.
Jared kept watching as Jensen retreated into the house and the girl with the vivid brown eyes were staring at him, was she jealous? Her smile didn’t seem one of jealousy.
“That’s Jared…” Spencer informed “he’s very nice.” So she makes a mental note to talk to “nice” Jared.
After they ate and chatted and formed committees for holydays and town meetings and ate some more people started to go back home, at the end it was only Jared’s dessert table at the sidewalk and some guy picking up the last of his lawn chairs. Kids were long gone after picking up pieces of latex from Jensen’s loan.
“Hey there…” Rachel appeared by Jared’s elbow carrying an empty saucer. “I took a slice of that amazing lemon meringue you made… and it was delicious….” She offered the dish to him who thanked her while picking up the last pieces of pineapple and raspberry meringues. “Mind if I help?” she was already carrying plates and napkins and following him into the house.
“Thank you…” Jared felt intimidated by the tiny force of nature of a woman. “But you don’t have to…”
Rachel smiled. “I just wanted to thank you, for helping Spencer.”
Jared looked at her and smiled. “There’s nothing to thank me for. I don’t like bullies.” The smile on her face was different, more honest.
“Actually... is not only about the bullies.” And she licked some pie filling from her finger. “is all about being nice with him and letting him take care of your dog” Jared made a movement with his head like *yeah okay* Spencer asked if he could take Maddie on a walk, one of the girls from down the street, a big blue eyed angel faced thing was waiting for him with a French bulldog.
“I don’t mind, and Maddie needs friends too.”
Rachel smiled wider this time. “What are you going to do with the left pie here?” she pointed the only pie for the day, it was cherry and half of it was left on its plate.
“No idea, I guess I’ll give it to Osric, my best friend? He loves it.”
Rachel pouted adorably. “aw, too bad. I know someone who loves pie but is so shy he didn’t dare to come ask for a serving…”
Jared’s heart racing, he licked his lips trying to sound cool. “Jensen?” Rachel nodded. “In that case you can take it home with you.” He offered the whole thing to Rachel but she only smiled.
“Come with me, let’s go home and have some coffee, that way he can thank you himself.”
Reply
Rachel laughed hard. “God! NO! Jensen is not my boyfriend.” She laughed hard all the way across the yard into Jensen’s house.
The place was nice, warm and cozy, it wasn’t all tidy, and it looked lived in, comfortable. “Come in, I’ll set the coffee machine it’ll take a couple minutes.” She said louder.
From the hallways sounding as if he were carrying something very heavy he heard Jensen’s voice. “You’re nuts I only drink real coffee, no stupid machine…” he grunted. “Only a press for that, okay Ray?” Jared smiled at the familiarity in the voice.
“We have company Jay!” she shouted back and a loud thud sounded. “You okay?” she ran down the hall followed by Jared to find him buried in boxes and suitcases.
Rachel helped Jensen while whispering over and over she was sorry.
It was her stuff that was thrown all over the place. Jared helped Jensen to pick everything up. “there you go, seems like you could use a boyfriend to help with this things…” he joked feeling his face in fire. Rachel laughed.
“If I had a boyfriend I’d be moving with him instead with my bro here…” she pointed a finger to Jensen; and then to Jensen. “Did you two met officially? This is Jared…” she offered and when they got close. “You know Jensen already, right?” and Jared nodded. “I bet you’ve noticed him around here with his all time singing and his healthy habits.”
“It’s you? The music?” Jensen blushed adorably, Jared couldn’t believe it.
After a minute they were sitting at the table with cups, plates and pie in front of each one. Rachel went out to get the bag with hers and Jensen’s phones from the car. “I hope she didn’t bother you dragging you into my house.” Jensen said sounding apologetic. “She’s very determined when something gets in her mind.”
Jared chuckled. “I’m glad she invited me. I was looking forward to talk to you… you’re always so busy.”
Jensen was sipping from his mug and made a face. “Yeah, I’m sorry… I’m not a morning person…” that was a lie, Jared had seen him running. “Except on Saturdays, I love to wake up early and run…” Jared was ready to offer running with him. “I love the silence and solitude, nobody there bothering you with anything.” Jared closed his mouth with a click.
“CRAP, CRAP, CRAP!!” Rachel was running, her phone attached to her ear. “Nelly! I’m sorry, I forgot my phone on the car…” and after a minute. “I’m on my way, please contact Misha if the baby’s heart is that low, we’re gonna need an OR, inform them about the C-section.”
Jensen was up and moving as she lowered her phone. “What happened?”
“Dianna! She’s in labor since hours ago, she’s only 35 weeks along and the heart rate is under 120…” she left the room.
Jared got up, he felt like he was intruding. “Maybe I should go.” Rachel passed next to him, her jeans still open while looking for her keys.
“Nonsense Jared, stay, you two talk while I go to bring another baby to the world.”
After she left Jensen sat back on the table and waited for Jared to do the same. “She’s amazing…”
Jared nodded. “So you’re doctors?” Jensen blushed. “I mean… Spencer… the kid from across the street told me but…”
Jensen smiled. “I know who Spencer is, I like that kid… a little bit troubled but nice kid.” Jared nodded taking a sip of his coffee.
“I’m a doctor, yeah…” Jensen made eye contact for a couple seconds before blushing and ducking his head. “Internal medicine, we work at the clinic, nothing big but it’s ours… Rache just came into it last year, fresh out of residency. She’s our OBGYN, we’re partners… with two more friends.”
“That’s really impressive.” Jared said making Jensen smile, “and you like what you do?”
Jensen lost every bit of that timid demeanor; he started talking and gesturing with his hands about everything they were doing and how the entire idea of the clinic was to help people who couldn’t afford, or had no chance to go to a big hospital. Jared was smitten so far, but the second he saw all that passion, all that determination that’s when he fell in love.
Reply
“Sorry, I got to go…”
Jensen got up. “It’s okay, thank you for stopping by, you can come visit Rachel whenever you want…”
Jared stood by the door. “Is not only Rachel I want to visit…”
Jensen blushed and looked away startled. “Then you should visit someone else…” came out of his mouth and Jensen wanted to die. “I’ll tell her to call you, so you get to know what happened with the baby.”
“Can you call me? or let me call you?”
Jensen laughed as if it were all a joke. “That’s so cute.” He said before slamming the door before even saying good night.
Once at his own house and sitting on his chair in front of the computer he noticed how fast Jensen had dismissed him.
Jared tried to get in Jensen’s good grace by preparing flower beds near the fence between the two houses, because he knew Jensen liked them, and he put carnations on it; the only kind missing from Jensen’s garden.
But instead of finding them cute, like Jared thought he’d do, Jensen looked horrified at the flowers and ran away not even saying good morning.
Rachel invited him for coffee once more a week or so later, when waving over the fence is the only contact he’s had with Jensen who stopped going to the garden to water the flower beds.
He went to the next house, and the second he passed the door he noticed the entire place dark. “Is Jensen home?” it just fell from his mouth.
“No right now, but he’s on his way…” she said while offering him a cup of coffee. “You like him, isn’t it?” and Jared say yes without a second of doubt.
Jensen was at the moment coming home, he spent every night revisiting the conversation he had with Jared, his name was Jared and he smelled like lemon grass and wood, and his hands… how he wanted to feel those hands on him.
But he couldn’t, so far every man he loved either got hurt or hurt him, when is about love Jensen was a beacon for bad luck, why would he do that to someone like Jared? Maybe Jared didn’t even cared for him; maybe he was there for Rachel. That was obvious… something inside of him broke when he left the highway on his way home.
He got home to hear Jared’s laughter and Rachel telling him stories of his anatomy classes. “I swear when they gave me the heart out of the corpse I was about to cry…” another fit of laughter and it sounded so good. Yeah they were friends, they will fall inlove, Rachel deserves someone like Jared, or Mac, he always thought it’ll be Mac, but she deserves someone that makes her happy, not him, he was better off alone.
“Hey guys.” He said casual. “Nice to see you again, Jared.”
“Come join us!” offered Rachel. “Tell Jared about Hill in urology clinical practice...” Jensen blushed, why was her embarrassing him in front of a stranger?
“Nah, I’m totaled, going to bed, have fun.” He moved out of the room. Rachel huffed.
“I think he doesn’t like me…” Jared let out.
“If you like him you have a very heavy armor to brake. “She said and putting a more serious face. “Don’t get me wrong, I wish he could get a bf, but are you serious?”
“What?”
Her brown eyes drilled him. “He’s had really, really bad luck with his love life, do you mean well?” and after a bit. “Or is just because his ridiculous hot face and ass.”
Jared swallowed hard. “I.. I don’t know… he’s done nothing more than to turn me down, even before I told him anything and I just like him more… he’s nice, and caring and even if everyone is lusting after him he keeps a level head and… apparently he’s perfect.” And let out a chuckle. “I have no idea why I like him so much…”
Rachel was biting her fingernails. “Okay then… let’s move this thing, okay? Come tomorrow for dinner, I’ll let him know.”
Jensen was informed when he came back from his morning run that Jared will join them for Saturday dinner. “Tell me you have no problem with it…” Rachel asked.
Jensen tried to hide his disappointment. “NO, is perfectly okay, but are you sure you want me there? I’d feel like the odd third wheel.”

“I don’t know why he doesn’t give up… I don’t… is not like… I don’t want it, the attention I mean.”
“Why?”
“For the same reason you treat Mac as if he were your older brother the second he tries to say something about his feelings.”
Rachel stuttered a little before finally speaking. “I like him… but, you know…” Jensen brought a bottle of tequila without any explanation and both of them took one large gulp without more ado.
“You deserve someone with you Rachel, and Mac knows you during your worse and still wants you.”
Rachel took another drink of tequila. “Jared could be that for you.”
“No he won’t because it’s different.”
Rachel hugged him. “you deserve love sweetie, even if you don’t believe it.”
“Just… Rachel, just don’t tell him about me, okay? I don’t want him feeling pity for me… or knowing… how… ” he said taking the bottle one last time.
“He won’t think anything bad about you Jay.” she giggled. “He’ll be too busy kissing you… and hugging you, and having sex with you.” She started poking Jensen making him laugh.
Jensen laughed but after a few seconds he spoke seriously. “He will, I know it, please, for your dead cousin; swear to me you won’t tell him about me.”
Rachel raised her hand, as if it were a court. “I won’t tell him anything about you.”
“Thank you.” Rachel nodded. “Gosh, we’re too old for this shit.” They shared one last drink before Jensen put the bottle back in its place and they went to bed, he felt better knowing Rachel will keep his secret.
By the time he was sitting at the table with Jared in front and Rachel at his right he was already panicking. “So what if we make plans for thanksgiving?” Rachel offered. “Jensen hides with me so the mobs of housewives don’t feed him until tryptophan poisoning.” Jared land Jensen laughed.
“They mean well…” Jensen said blushing. “I don’t know if I’ll be around, I have to check with Mackie, we haven’t got together in so long.” And turning to Jared he continued. “She’s my sister, and we’re really close.”
Jared made a noise. “I hear you… ” He said pointing a finger to Jensen. “My own sister, Megan is bugging me about visiting for the holidays.”
Rachel rubbed her face. “UGH stop rubbing it on me.” Jensen held her hand over the table and Jared felt like he was intruding.
“I’ll stay with you then, just the two of us.” Jensen offered with a smile and his eyes fix on his friend’s. Jared felt the sting of rejection and at the same time even more love for the guy who would leave his sister to keep a friend company.
Dinner was about to end when a phone went off. It was Jensen’s and he moved out of the room. “Sorry…” he said coming back. “Mr. Donovan is back. His glicemia is over 300 again.”
“The diabetic, chocolate addict one?” Rachel smiled. “I’m sure someone else can take care of him…”Jared perked up, Jensen was leaving.
“I don’t mind and it’ll only be a while.” He took his keys and kissed Rachel’s hair. “See ya Ray,” And turning to look into Jared’s eyes. “I’m sorry…”
“Don’t worry. I guess I’m having a sample of what is like to be a doctor’s husband.” Rachel laughed.
Jensen freaked out, it was obvious he paled and blinked before a hasty retreat.
“Now I’m sure he doesn’t like me…”
Rachel got up and brought a bottle of tequila with her. “Jared, I like you, you’d be good for him… so, let me tell you a bit about me.”
“NO… you don’t have to, I understand, I bet I’m not his type.” He was getting up, calling Maddie to leave.
“Shut the fuck up, sit the fuck down and listen to me because… because I know he likes you. But I’m not supposed to say anything about him, that’s why I want you to sit and listen, because you don’t know about me.”
Jared sat and looked at Rachel not understanding what she meant; he noticed her trembling fingers as she poured two shots of tequila and offered him once and a salt shaker.
“I had a cousin, Ty; we were best friends because we didn’t have anyone else, just the two of us. He was 3 years older than me.” and without flinching Rachel tipped the shot back and swallowed the dink.

Jared took his shot too. Rachel was already pouring the second one on her glass. “By the time I was a freshman they were friends, and I had to hear his endless rants about how the guy’s girlfriend was no right for him.” she rolled her eyes. “How he deserved someone better, how he knew he was the right for him.” and she chuckled.
“It was really tiring.” Jared chuckled at her wink. “we became a group of some kind, they left him alone for a while because people feared us, Ty... you see, he had dangerous friends outside of school and we could defend ourselves… you know what I mean?” Jared pretended he did but had no idea. “And we thought that loner, that guy my cousin was in love with, we thought he was weak and that he needed us, and turned out to be the strongest bastard I’ve ever met.”
Jared saw how her eyes turned red. “I lost my virginity at 15 with Ty’s best friend, Mark, I had a crush on him for years and he was older…” she rubbed her thighs before taking the glass again and tipping it up once more. “And Ty finally kissed the loner.” She smiled. “but being kicked out of the closet by a scorned bitch of an ex girlfriend didn’t’ bode well in high school. It was about this time of the year, you know? We were getting ready for home coming.
We were shopping for dresses and ties and shit like that; and everything was fine, there were ten of us, but then one jock, he was picking fights… Ty was a little drunk and before we could understand they were fighting on a park behind the mall.” Jared frowned what any of this was related with him?
“Jensen, Ty’s boyfriend…” Jared perked up at the mention of the name. “He tried to make him stop and the jock hit him in the face, Mark got in the middle while Ty checked Jensen, he was bleeding from nose and lip and Ty was too drunk to be calm, instead of finishing it he ran to the jock and attacked again.”
Rachel took her fifth drink. “We heard an explosion, it was like a cracker or something, nothing else, but then… then Ty was falling to the floor three feet away from Jensen.” we heard the sirens and Mark and Kevin, Alec and Richard, the rest of our guys tried to move Jensen away from him, from… he was already… we tried to pry him away the body. We weren’t supposed to be there, we weren’t supposed to be out that night. We were just stupid kids….” Jared noticed she was crying from the beginning but the painful sob that rocked her body was too much
“You don’t have to keep going.”
Rachel sniffled and cleaned her tears with her hand. “I’ll cry, I always cry with this story… don’t worry.”
Once more she took a deep breath and kept going. “We left, we left Jensen behind, the boys still had marks of Jensen’s nails weeks after, we left him and police took him in.” she cleaned more tears.
“We didn’t see each other until the funeral, and we gathered at the back of the church, Jensen was there, his eyes were absurdly swollen, almost closed; he was holding a bouquet of carnations.” And Jared understood. “When he went to the front to put the flowers near the…” she sobbed.
“My aunt is a good person, she is, she just was hurting, and Ty was her only son.” It took her a long while to get it together enough to tell the rest. “she led Jensen by the arm to the back interrupting the sermon, everybody was looking, everyone heard what she said about him, calling him a whore, an abomination, and then told him it was all his fault for being a needy faggot, she told him she wished it was him on the coffin, and when my mom tried to calm her, to tell her it was unfair to blame him, she said… and I remember every word.”
Rachel made an effort to let this part out, “What’s unfair is that he’s alive, he’s breathing while my boy is dead, why you deserve to live while I have to bury him? Nobody loves you!” and she let out a chocked sob. “Why are you here gloating in my pain, why are you all here.”

Rachel let her face fall on her hands this time; Jared moved closer and caressed her back letting her cry for a while. “We had our parents, okay? My mom was there and she hugged me, most of us had someone there, and Alona and Charlie had each other… Jensen had no one; he was grounded and ignored his parent and ran out of his home to go to the funeral. He had no one and my aunt kept holding his arm without anyone to defend him.”
“That’s horrible…”
“She took the flowers and pushed them in Jensen’s face. Told him he should die. That’s when her husband held her and pushed her back to the front. Nobody cared for Jensen.”
“That’s what started all the other shit.” She breathed hard. “The first was Charlie, she was in Jensen’s class, and they were lab partners and the day Jensen went to her house to work on a project he found her dead. She hung herself with a belt. Her parents blamed Jensen for some weird reason.”
Jared gasped horrified. “then came Mark, he dropped out of school and we hardly ever saw him again, then one day we found him at the school parking lot, he’d just had like six spoonfuls of rat poison and died before he got to the hospital.” Jared frowned, he was left without words. “Alona came later, she died at home next to her mom; she was so heartbroken…” Rachel wasn’t done yet. “Richard and Paula lasted a whole year, before they found them dead on Richard’s car, the note said they couldn’t deal with the guilt any longer and crashed the car intentionally.”
“Alec cut his wrists three times, was committed into an institution and still managed to cut himself and bleed to death.” Jared rubbed his face. “Kevin jumped off of a construction site. I tried hanging and cutting before my parents got me help.” She let out. “I spent years in therapy, and I kinda get over it… you know?” she smiled. “It still hurts like you have no idea to remember or to talk about it, but I understood in the end, is not my fault.”
“Of course is not.”
“Yeah, I know, now, is not my fault!” she repeated in a ta-da kind of voice and smiled ducking her head. “Jensen’s parents ignored him for as long as it lasted; he got depressed and tried everything in his power that was destructive, but never suicide, I believe it’s because of his siblings, Josh and Mackenzie; if it weren’t for his siblings…” Jared shuddered as she did at the idea of what would’ve happened to Jensen. “But he’s a tough cookie… and he survived what nobody else could.”
“That’s so fucked up…”
“Alona’s mom killed herself too, and the guy who shot Ty only served 16 months, the guy who brought the gun was sent to jail, he was 18 already, by three months, three months were the difference.” She was more calmed.
“Jensen and I, we have been together always, the longer we’ve been apart had been the year gap we have, he went to college and I followed, he got into med school to do penance for his sins, his guilty conscience.” She said almost as if mocking the words. “I followed suit. He started his practice with few friends, he brought me over… now that I don’t have anybody, he gives me shelter, and he’s trying to find me a husband, we are like brother and sister…” she let out a sigh. “So yeah… you see? There’s something to learn from this.” Jared nodded.
“There’s been a couple other guys, let’s be honest, but only because he’s pretty and they wanted sex, I’ve heard that one of them hurt him too, he’s always feeling unworthy of real love and even when one of the bastards he dated slapped him he thought he deserves it.” She took the bottle from Jared’s side and tipped it over taking three gulps. “If you don’t want him for something serious, please don’t hurt him more.” she said after a long hiss.
“I won’t…” and after a quite uncomfortable silence. “What about you? Do you have a boyfriend? A girlfriend?”
Rachel laughed hard. “There’s this surgeon I like…” she said and both laughed. “With time I developed a thicker skin, and I’m still afraid to let other get close, yeah, but that’s Jensen’s specialty.”
