Life imitating fiction, Part Deux (aka RL Jays Baseball Bromance)
Okay, so over a year ago, as some of you may know, I started a J2 Baseball AU called Jays2 where Jensen and Jared and a whole host of other dudes were all on the Toronto Blue Jays, gaying up baseball.
I know, I know, I haven’t updated in ages, but I want to finish it up before I post, so bear with me! But I'm thinking that maybe I’m psychic or something, 'cause dudes, I just got a real-life version of J2 on my team, and I just had to share the similarities with y’all.
It all started with my favourite, this guy right here, Jonathan Paul Arencibia, who is our regular catcher and an awesome young rookie. He's not bad to look at either. In fact, he's yummy. And funny, and sweet, and obviously adores kids, and he's got Cuban roots and him speaking spanish is so damn sexy. He also thinks he's good a t baseball but his sister's talent is having six kids and raising them.
That's pro. (As JP would say.)
Then this guy, Canadian rookie Brett Lawrie, was called recently up to the team to play third base and he started doing some exciting shit out there. Guy knocks back a couple of six packs of Red Bulls a day (according to JP, who must be around all day to count 'em), hence the over-excitement exhibited here, and everywhere, really. In Brett's own words, he's a beauty.
Turns out, JP and Brett - are roomies and BFFs who are madly love with each other. Okay, so the last bit is just in my (admittedly wild and crazy) imagination. Or is it?
Allow me to present Exhibits A through infinity:
Exhibit A:
Jensen is # 13, Jared is # 14
Brett is # 13, JP is # 9 (What? I got it half right!)
Also, in Jays2, Jensen bats first in the middle of the line-up and Jared bats right after him. In RL, JP bats first and Brett bats right after him.
And, Jensen in four years older than Jared and JP is four years older than Brett.
(Yeah, I'm nuts. That's pretty much a given.)
Exhibit B:
Jensen and Jared in Jays2: Roomies in Spring Training.
JP and Brett: Roomies in Spring Training
Exhibit C:
J2 in Jays2: Roomies on the road.
JP & B: Roomies on the road.
Exhibit D:
J2 in Jays2: Roomies at home in Toronto.
JP & B: Well, I’m sure if they don’t actually share the same domicile, they sure as hell spend every spare moment in each other’s company.
(So I don't have actual photographic evidence of Exhibits B and C, because I'm not some pervy stalker, but rest-assured, this is trufax. Also because I'm not a pervy stalker, I'm not gonna find evidence of D, either. But...I will maintain constant vigilance.
Exhibit E:
J2 in Jays2: Pranksters who get pranked but good.
JP & B: Look at what they had to do on Rookie Dress Up Day. ‘Nuff said.
Aside: Remember when Jensen was pied in the face and Jared licked it off of him? Look at these two. Alas, there was no licking in RL. Because that was shaving cream and not whipped cream. Yes, that is why there was no licking.
Exhibit F:
J2 in Jays2: Have no concept of personal space. Even on the field in front of a stadium full of people.
JP & B: Ditto.
Exhibit G:
J2 in Jays2: Hang out with teammates, especially pitchers Mike and Tom.
JP & B: Hang out with teammates, especially pitchers Ricky and Casey (they went to the Keith Urban concert last week!)
Nothing to see here except grainy pics of Keith Urban. The boys were too busy enjoying the concert!
Exhibit H to Infinity:
J2 in Jays2: Hang out together and do stuff around Toronto.
JP & B: Hang out together and do stuff around Toronto (like say, going on multiple man-dates to the Fan Cave, or sponsored shopping sprees at RW & Co., or presenting at the Canadian Country Music Awards.)
Chillin' at the Fan Cave
Sponsored shopping spree at RW & Co.
Rehearsal at the CCMAs
On the red carpet at the CCMAs: Miked up and rearin' to go!
Inside, before the performances.
Further evidence of their date. Er...and by date, I mean when they went to the CCMAs together and introduced one of the acts. So, a date.
They even have their off days. Ouch!
But most days, they're on.
There you have it.
In conclusion: I rest my case.
And the verdict: I am obviously some sort of slashy psychic when it comes to Baseball. Or I'm insane. Whatever.
I’m so sentencing myself to slash them forever in sexy fic.
Case adjourned. Until next time, same (baseball) bat time, same bat channel!
*Thanks to everyone on Tumblr and the boys on Twitter for the images! Thanks to Toronto Blue Jays Gifs for making some of these for me!
