Disclaimer: These gorgeous boys aren’t mine, no matter how much I wish they were. They belong to themselves and each other and this isn’t true, probably.
A/N: This is a continuation of the free hugs 'verse. First one was
Get Your Free Hugs Here! by me and the second one was
everyday's the start of something beautiful by

mirimeneume. Thanks love)
After that, Jensen sees Jared everywhere. Across the quad on his way to class, when he's at lunch with Misha, spots him walking somewhere while Jensen stares out the window during class. Anytime Jared spots him, he waves happily and has this giant grin on his face. It just figures that before he didn't know this hot guy existed and now he's everywhere Jensen looks. Jensen really wants to talk to him. Or kiss him. Or jump him. Really anything will do at this point.
But Jensen doesn't get a chance to actually talk to Jared till almost a week later, literally bumps into him. Jensen’s walking across the quad in a rush; he’s late to class…again. He really needs to work on his napping habits or something. He knocks into a hard body and almost tumbles to the ground when strong hands grip his biceps to keep him from hitting the floor. His hand flies out to rest on a broad chest, that's covered with the softest of cotton, to steady himself and he huffs out a breath.
“Thanks man. Sorry about that, I’m such a klutz.”
Jensen trails off when he finally looks into the eyes of his savior, otherwise known as Jared Padalecki. Of course it’s Jared. The universe hates him and is playing the biggest cosmic joke on him ever. Jared grins at him, his mouth wide and tempting and this little crush is going to be the death of Jensen. Seriously.
“It’s no problem man. Though, you should watch where you’re going so you don’t knock down everyone in your path,” Jared teases. And Jensen can’t help but smile at him. Christ, he was so far gone for this guy.
He laughs, realizes that his hand is still on Jared’s chest and drops it like he just got burned and feels a blush creep up his cheeks. He looks at where his hands were and the shirt says 'Conserve Water. Shower with Me.' It's kind of faded and fitted like it was made for Jared after tons of wear. Jensen has to stop his thoughts from wandering to images of tan skin dripping with water and soap. Of licking water droplets off soft skin. Of huge hands trailing over his own wet skin. Jared’s hands are still on his biceps though, just holding on, and they’re warm and huge and not really helping those forbidden images. He blushes even more and stops that train of thought before glancing at his watch and cursing. He is so tempted to just skip this class, but they’re covering new material and Organic Chemistry is never a class to be missed. He can imagine how much Misha is going to laugh at him when he gets to class with his flushed face and even more awkward walk.
“Sorry again for bumping into you like that man. And I’d really love to talk but I’m late to class.”
A weird expression comes over Jared’s face but it’s gone in an instant, to be replaced by that gorgeous grin and those damn dimples. Jensen doesn’t want to get his hopes up, but he thinks that expression may have been disappointment.
"Yeah sure. And it was no problem. Maybe I like being bumped into," he laughs. "I'll talk to you later."
And with that statement those arms come around him again, wrapping him up in another tight hug. Jensen doesn't think he can ever go back to any other hug. Not after having those strong arms around him. Not after being pulled flush against the lean, hard body. Not after smelling that addictive scent. Jensen maybe breathes in that scent a little more than necessary and backs away reluctantly. He flashes Jared a smile and turns around to go to class. Hopefully he can still make it.
He takes a couple of steps and then falters. He really doesn't want to go, especially when he seems like such an idiot for just gawking at Jared. He turns back around and leans up to brush a lightening fast kiss against Jared's cheek before rushing off to class, not even waiting for Jared's reaction. Jensen really hopes that he hasn't read the signs wrong and all he can do now is wait.
