dugindeep's prompt Jared lets his neighbors use his pool, after all, a little girl should enjoy swimming in the hot temps. It has nothing to do with her totally hot father who comes swimming too. Nope. For the
Summertime comment fic meme and the j2 version of this can be found
there, but given mine and dugindeep's love of Danneel I just had to give her an alternate ending, so here it is.
Jared could remember very clearly the first day Jensen and Lucy had come over to his house. The first time he’d actually properly talked to the man and his daughter and not just exchanged polite hellos across their drives. It had been Lucy, the most precious little blonde haired and green eyed six year old girl Jared had ever met, who had taken the initiative. Much to the mortification of her father who had gone a very adorable shade of pink when said little girl just asked forthright if they could swim in his pool after emerging from her daddy’s car.
Jared had just got back from his run and was stretching on his lawn, Jensen was removing the groceries from the trunk, when she hurtled over, cute as can be with those lashes. Jensen had reprimanded her and then apologized profusely. Jared had just smiled and told him Nonsense and invited them over after Jensen got everything squared away. And Lucy had turned those lethal eyes on her father saying, “Daddy, pleeeeeease.”
And she made a mad dash for the front door after Jensen gave in. Jared had offered to help Jensen with the groceries but Jensen said he could manage and he didn’t have time to argue he had a little girl desperate to get into her swimsuit telling him to hurry up.
It had taken twenty minutes for them to get back outside, and Jared’s parting words had been for them just to come round back when they were ready. Jensen had brought a cooler of drinks with him and a beach bag. Lucy had been fussing with the Hello Kitty arm bands Jensen had obviously made her put on, and he wasn’t going to let his little girl into the pool without them. She huffed and pouted, arms folded across her chest before she jumped in and Jensen had stood watching for a moment.
Jared took the things from Jensen’s hands and stuck them in the shade and Jensen sat down by the edge of the pool, dipping his legs into the water. Lucy swam over to him urging him to get in properly. And he had no choice in the matter after Jared canon balled into the deep end splashing Jensen making Lucy giggle as Jensen spat out the water from his mouth before he slipped into the pool.
It had been the most fun Jared had ever had in his back yard and it was the day that his heart had been stolen by a beautiful little girl and her very attractive daddy who Jared was fairly sure had been flirting back.
But he couldn’t say for definite, five times now he’d been rendered completely and utterly speechless by one of Jensen’s smiles the warm crinkles at the corners of those insanely gorgeous green eyes did things to his heart. And that was without mentioning Jensen’s lips, which inspired far less innocent notions.
Thing was, Jensen had a wife who was just as insanely gorgeous as her husband. And Jared didn’t want to do anything that would compromise the couple’s relationship; both Jensen and Lucy talked about her mommy very fondly. Danneel was away on a business trip right now, but Jared had seen her coming and going from the house enough times to know she was smoking hot. For some reason unbeknownst to him it made him feel less skeezy perving on both partners.
And when she got back the following Friday, they invited Jared over for dinner. He got to sit next to Lucy who made sure he didn’t sit anywhere else, he didn’t mind one bit, he was growing quite attached to her too. It didn’t take very long for Jared to realise that Lucy got her sass from her mother. The little girl managed to wrangle all three grown ups into reading her a bedtime story together.
Once Lucy was sound asleep they returned downstairs and invited Jared to stay to have some wine and Danneel demanded to see the pictures from their week at Jared's pool, and there were plenty of Lucy from when she and Jensen had been out and about too, and somehow Jared ended up sitting in the middle. There were ones of Jared and Lucy that Jared hadn't seen that made him smile but no where near as much as the ones Jared had taken of Lucy and her Daddy once Jensen had relaxed enough to relinquish his camera.
And Jared could see how much they meant to Danneel, "Honey it looks like you might have some competition, these are amazing, you took these, Jared?"
"Trust me I'm no photographer, just had good subjects," and he turned his head to look at Jensen, and he nearly bumped him with his nose, he hadn't realised just how close Jensen had gotten. Took his breath away when Jensen looked up at him through those lashes of his, pink dusting his cheeks and making the freckles there pop. Before he even thought about it he found himself saying, "God you're beautiful, I mean I didn't, I-"
"Jared it's okay," Danneel soothed and Jared's eyebrows shot up a little when he looked back at her as her hand caressed his thigh, "just kiss him."
"What?"
"Kiss him, I know you want to, I've seen how you look at him...and then of course there's how you look at me," Jared had kind of spluttered, floundering for words and then her lips were on his and he froze momentarily before melting into the mostly chaste kiss.
"We've been talking about it every night on the phone, but my husband here didn't want to start anything 'til I got home."
Danneel reached out and clasped Jensen's hand over Jared's lap and then Jensen took Jared's in his other and said, "It's what we both want, together," the couple leaned across him to share a quick kiss before they both returned their attention to Jared.
And Danneel said again, "Kiss him."
Jared didn't need to be told another time.
