Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Warning: student/teacher
Summary: “You remember when I said the stories were all science fiction? I think maybe we just ended up in a story book.”
Author's Note: This was written for the
j2_everafter challenge in *gasp* 2012. I wasn't able to complete the whole story at the time, but I've been sitting on about 10K more words than what was originally posted. For some reason, I decided to dust it off and finish it. Though I will say dusted lightly, more like blew across it and choked on the dust... but lets hope my writing style hasn't changed too much because after chapter four I have to write new material to keep it going :P
The morning light pulled at his consciousness but he ignored it. He was comfortable and there was something warm and delicious on top of him. The soft puff of breath against his neck made him turn his head slightly, breath turned to lips against his skin. He ran his hands down the sides of the young man atop of him and groaned at the feel of young muscles. He reached the taut ass and squeezed, eliciting a moan from the other man. He liked the sound of it, liked that he put that moan there, so he pulled him closer until their cocks were aligned just right.
“J-Jensen?”
Jared… his name was Jared. He remembered that. “Shhhh… just let me,” Jensen said as he thrust up slowly, the drag making him tighten his grip on Jared’s ass. “Feel so good against me Jared.”
Jared let out a shuddered breath and Jensen opened his eyes and couldn’t help the way his gaze latched onto the young man’s lips. He watched the way Jared licked across his lips and he had to taste him. He reluctantly pulled one hand away from his ass and gripped the back of his neck to pull his mouth close. He didn’t waste any time in pressing their lips together. Jared opened almost instantly for him and Jensen licked into his mouth. Jared’s hands came up hesitantly, running through Jensen’s hair and it was all the encouragement he needed. “Need you Jared,” Jensen breathed against his mouth. He started pulling at the buttons on Jared’s shirt until he could push it off his shoulders. He sat up on the couch as he did, Jared’s knees slotting along the outside of Jensen’s thighs like he was made to ride Jensen. He growled into Jared’s mouth, then pulled away as he reached the thin tee shirt that stood between him and Jared. He began to bite and lick his way across Jared’s collarbone as he undid his own shirt and threw it to the floor.
“Jensen?”
Jared’s voice sent a shiver down his spine and Jensen leaned up, taking his mouth in a brutal kiss. He reached between them and undid the button of Jared’s pants. He slowly slid the zipper down and growled in warning when Jared started to pull back. “Mine Jared,” he whispered as he nipped at the soft flesh of his neck.
“Jensen, yes,” Jared moaned.
It was all he needed to hear and Jensen wrapped an arm around Jared’s back and pulled him closer in as he flipped their position, leaving Jared on his back on the couch. Jared’s eyes were blown wide open and Jensen kissed him softly before he started working his pants off. Jared’s hands were all over his back, pulling him closer and then he reached between them. His hand brushed against Jensen’s erection and Jensen damn near came just for the thought of Jared touching him. He growled low in his throat and pulled back, his hands finally divesting Jared of his remaining clothes.
Jared was beautiful; his eyes were downcast, his graceful cheekbones tinged pink as he waited for Jensen to look his fill. He could take days just looking at the glorious sight before him but he knew that would have to wait for another time. He needed to claim Jared, to fill him full and make sure everyone who looked at him could see he was Jensen’s.
Jensen quickly rid himself of the rest of his own clothes, then settled onto the couch between Jared’s legs. Jared was half sitting against the arm of the couch and there was barely room, but Jensen needed to taste him, to know the feel of him. He leaned down and took Jared’s leaking cock into his mouth. Jared screamed out his name but Jensen barely heard it over his own moans. Damn, but Jared had to be made for him. His taste was addictive and Jensen knew he’d need more as soon as the first bit of precome reached his tongue. He slid his hands up under his boy’s spread legs and gripped his hips hard, holding Jared right where he wanted him. Jared tried to thrust up but Jensen held him tight, growling to remind Jared who was in charge. Jared looked down at him, eyes wide, his mouth open in surprise, but then he moaned Jensen’s name again and Jensen rewarded his obedience by swallowing down his full length.
He could feel the tremors that ran through Jared’s body and then Jared’s hand was in his hair, trying to pull him off. Jensen refused to be moved but he pulled back until just the head of Jared’s cock was in his mouth. He sucked and licked and then Jared was coming. Jensen swallowed it down and kept sucking, taking every last drop that Jared could give him, letting the last bit rest on his tongue as he savored the flavor.
When Jensen sat up on his knees, Jared just watched, face flushed and lips kiss-swollen. Jensen leaned up, kissing him long and slow before slipping an arm under Jared’s waist and pulling him up. Jared allowed Jensen to manhandle him until he was on his knees, bending slightly until his chest was pushed into the back of the couch.
“So good, baby,” Jensen cooed as he pressed his body against Jared’s back. He let his arms travel up the length of Jared’s arms all the way down to his thighs. “Spread wide for me,” he said as he slipped off the couch and onto the floor. Jared did as he was told and Jensen used his hands to spread Jared’s ass open for him. He stared for a moment at the tight ring of muscles, licking his lips before he leaned in, ghosting his breath over it. Jared shivered and Jensen smiled. “So responsive. You want me to do it, don’t you? Want me to lick you open before I split you on my cock?”
“Jensen,” Jared’s tone begged better than any words he’d ever heard. Jensen rewarded him again by leaning in and licking lightly over his hole. He gripped his ass hard, exposing him further so he could run his tongue over the edge of his entrance. He continued doing it, pressing every so often with the flat of his tongue. When he could feel the ring of muscles give, he speared his tongue into Jared’s hole. Jared moaned and Jensen fucked in harder, unable to help himself. His tongue worked Jared nice and wet and then he pressed in with a finger. It was so fucking good, Jared squirming on his tongue and letting him fuck him with his finger at the same time, so fucking good to taste Jared and hear his name murmured from his lips in a voice that was damn near wrecked.
He pressed a second finger in and before long a third. He could see the way Jared pulled back at the third but Jensen was so far gone he wasn’t sure he was going to be able to open him up much more. He needed to be inside Jared, to claim his lover with his seed and his mark. He knew how tight the young man was and he knew there had been no others before him though so he kept pressing in with his fingers, placing kisses and gentle bites on every bit of flesh he could reach.
Jared opened up so beautifully and when he started fucking himself on Jensen’s fingers he pressed in hard as he moved to kneel on the couch behind him. He kept his fingers working him open as Jared turned his head, leaning back against Jensen in a blatant gesture. Jensen kissed him softly, deepening it as Jared moaned into his mouth.
Jensen pressed his cock against the sweat slicked crease of Jared’s ass as Jared practically mewled for more. Jensen bit Jared’s bottom lip as he pulled his fingers free and guided the head of his cock to Jared’s entrance. He pressed in, covering Jared’s neck in kisses as Jared cried out. Jensen’s cock head was sliding past the tight ring of muscle but Jared was too still so Jensen reached between Jared and the couch and began stroking his cock as he pushed slowly into his body.
Jared began to harden in his hand and Jared dropped his forehead to the back of the couch as he started relaxing around Jensen’s cock. “So beautiful, taking me,” Jensen encouraged. “So beautiful, opening up for me, Jared.” He moaned as he slid past the final resistance and came to rest balls deep in Jared. He leaned forward, catching himself on the wall with his free hand. “Yes, Jared,” he whispered into his skin, “mine.”
He pulled back until just the cock head was still inside Jared and then pushed in with one strong thrust. Jared moaned and Jensen bit his neck to bury his own sounds. Jared started wiggling on the end of his cock though and any thought Jensen had about making sure he wasn’t too rough with Jared went completely out of his mind.
“Is this what you want?” Jensen asked as he pulled out and slammed back into Jared. Jared cursed and Jensen did it again. “Gonna fuck you hard, baby, fuck you until you’re begging to come. Gonna let you too, gonna make you come around my cock and then I’m gonna fill you up with my come. You like that?” he asked when Jared leaned back against Jensen’s chest, dropping his head back onto Jensen’s shoulder. “Course you do. Fucking made for me, of course you want it.”
He fucked hard into his boy, and angled his hips until he found the right spot. Jared cried out when Jensen hit his prostate and Jensen buried his head in the back of Jared’s neck, biting hard as he continued to thrust up into that spot. Jared reached back with one hand, his fingers digging into Jensen’s scalp as he pulled his mouth tighter over the bite mark and Jensen let him have what he wanted. He bit again and again, marking him as he pounded into him. He tasted blood on his tongue, could smell it in the air and then Jared’s ass was clenching around him as he came all over the back of the couch. Jensen pushed him through it, fucking his twitching hole until his own release was eminent. He grabbed Jared’s hips with both hands and fucked hard up, pressing Jared down into his lap to keep himself buried as deep as he could be in his boy’s body. He came long and hard, licking at the bleeding bite on the back of Jared’s neck.
Jared was collapsed in his lap and Jensen had him held tight, content to keep him close and safe. He dropped his head to rest between Jared’s shoulder blades and took a deep breath, just letting it all sink in; the feel and smell and taste of his lover. He had no idea how long he sat like that, but then Jared started shivering and Jensen pulled out of him slowly before setting them back on the couch the way they’d started out, with Jared’s head resting on his chest and Jensen stroking soothing circles into his back.
He was almost asleep again before Jared pulled away, staring down at Jensen, wide eyed. “Did … what just… ” Jared’s eyes fixed on Jensen’s mouth and he shuddered visibly. “You have blood on your lips.”
It was like he’d been doused with a bucket of cold water and Jensen was finally awake. He swallowed against the lump in his throat but he could taste blood and he licked his lips, taking the last bit of Jared’s flavor into his mouth. Jared focused on his lips and as horrified as Jensen was at what he’d done, he couldn’t help but feel aroused at the way Jared watched him; at the way Jared reacted to him.
“Jared, I … I … did I hurt you?”
Jared blushed but he was shaking his head. “No. A little maybe, but it doesn’t hurt now.”
Jensen reached out and pulled Jared’s chin up until he was looking him in the eye. “I’m so sorry, Jared. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I don’t know what happened. I’ve never …” he tried to think of something to say but nothing could even come close to what he was feeling. He’d never lost control of himself like that. He knew he was a bit of a control freak; he liked to have things his way and he liked his lovers to know it, but this was entirely different. He knew it was consensual, but that didn’t make it right and Jensen had no excuse for why now of all times his judgment went out the window.
Jared sat up straighter but he didn’t try to get away from Jensen. Instead, he raised one hand and felt the back of his neck where Jensen had bitten through the skin. “Never would have thought you were a biter,” he said softly. When he looked up there was a small smile on his face, shy and timid and Jensen wasn’t sure how to deal with that.
“Jared-”
“Jensen? I’m alright. Let’s just … chalk it up to this place and figure out how we can get home, okay?”
Jensen didn’t know if it was that easy, but it wasn’t like he could do anything else really. “Yeah, okay. Just, Jared,” he couldn’t stop himself as he reached up and touched Jared’s cheek, caressing it slowly when Jared leaned into the touch. “I would never hurt you. Do you know that?”
Jared let out a slightly hysterical laugh at that but he nodded. “I know.”
Jared didn’t settle back into him then though, as much as Jensen would have felt better if Jared had allowed him to touch a little longer. He understood why Jared might feel the need to pull away from him but Jensen didn’t want it to be like that between them. He still felt the need to keep Jared close and it would be problematic if he pulled away every time Jensen needed him there.
“We should probably get started,” Jared said, as he found his tee shirt and pulled it over his head. Jensen watched him as he scoured the floor for his clothes, gently setting Jensen’s on the table in front of the couch where he could easily reach them.
Jensen took the hint and started dressing himself, wishing he could hit a shower first. He’d have to make that the first order of business after breakfast. If the sports complex was as busy today as it had seemed yesterday, no one would notice the two of them there. Either that or they were going to have to wait until after the robots came to collect everyone again, like they had the day before.
Jensen pulled his pants up and grabbed his shirt, starting to button it up. He looked up and caught Jared staring at his abs and his dick twitched in interest. He looked away, focused on his buttons and not his half naked student.
The word lover tried to slip into that description but he refused to allow it. Whatever had just happened, Jared wasn’t his lover. This wasn’t going to lead to some fairytale ending where Jensen got to keep the young man as his own. The only way this ended if he kept this up was with him losing his livelihood and never being able to teach again with Jared’s parent possibly suing for criminal charges against him for having any sort of sexual relationship with their son.
He just had to focus on getting them out of there and back to where the world made sense again.
He focused on the rest of the problem then and let his mind slip away from the frightening events of the morning and to the problem of the quantum reflection. There were plenty of theories on what made them work and what might connect the worlds of different dimensions, how some were closer than others, but that didn’t explain why this one had suddenly taken them to another place. Rumors of something like that had always surrounded the research but no one took them for anything other than - that’s exactly what he told Jared. They were just science fiction stories. And then Jared told him alternate universes used to be science fiction too.
“You knew.”
It was an accusation and Jared looked up at Jensen, confusion in his eyes for a second before they turned darker, frightened and lost.
“You knew something would happen when we turned on the quantum reflection.”
“No, I didn’t know.”
“Don’t lie to me Jared. You were terrified of it. You skipped out on it last year and your parents covered for you to keep me from penalizing your grade for it. You all knew something.”
“You said the stories were bullshit, what did you expect me to say?” Jared’s hands were clenched at his side and his voice was raised in anger. “Hey, Mr. Ackles, I don’t want to be part of this experiment because I walked into the wrong room at the wrong time and my sister disappeared through one before I knew what was happening? I don’t think this is a great idea because I’ve spent the last year in therapy because everyone thinks I watched my sister being horrifically murdered and I cracked and my mind replaced it with her sliding through a quantum reflection?” Jared let out a sharp snort that was followed quickly by a sob. “That I broke into the lab twelve times, trying to make it work to try to get back to her and I couldn’t so they moved it away from the school so I couldn’t get to it anymore?”
Jared fell to his knees and Jensen caught him and wrapped him in his arms. His boy clung to him and washed Jensen’s neck in warm tears. Jensen held him tighter until Jared’s tears stopped and the trembling in his body had ceased. Jared pulled away, but Jensen grabbed his neck, letting his fingers brush over the mark he’d made. It stilled Jared and he looked Jensen in the eye.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Jared looked at him like he’d asked the stupidest question and he was right. “Of course you didn’t. You tried, in your own way, didn’t you? I just wasn’t listening. I’m sorry. You - your parents know though, right? That’s why they covered for you when I called?”
Jared’s eyes hardened slightly. “They think I’m crazy,” he whispered. “The doctors told them I’d had a psychotic break with reality. When I started picking the locks and sneaking into the lab they took it as proof. Then they moved the quantum reflection and we moved away so that no one would know I’d ever had a sister.”
“Jared…” there was nothing he could say to comfort him so he leaned in and brushed his lips lightly across Jared’s. “I’m so sorry baby.”
“Jensen?”
It didn’t matter anymore. He’d always followed his logic over his heart but this time he couldn’t. Every instinct in him said that Jared was the most important thing to happen to him since he found the laws of science. He didn’t care what it meant when they got home. He’d find a way to make it work. Jared deserved someone to make him happy, to believe in him, and Jensen was going to be that person.
“This … this thing … if you want this, if you want me … I’ll be whatever you want, Jared. I want you, but I can’t make that decision for you so you have to let me know.”
Jared licked his lips and Jensen watched the way his Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed. Before he could answer though, a noise from outside the room made them both look up.
Jensen moved to the door and opened it slowly to look out into the lab. There was nothing there so he opened the door to look at the hallway. Just as he was about to, he heard the noise again. He crawled up onto one of the tables and looked out the windows and saw some kids playing a game that involved kicking a ball long distances. They had kicked the ball into the back wall of the building and that was the noise they’d heard. Jensen let out a deep breath as some adults herded the children back to the regular field of the sports complex.
“Just some kids,” he said to Jared as he hopped down from the table. “We should probably grab something to eat. Grab a shower at the complex? We might be able to find some extra clothes too.”
“Yeah,” Jared said with a nod. “That sounds like a plan.”
**
The sports complex was easy to slip into and no one noticed two extra men hanging out in the locker room. There must have been a big game or something because after they’d been there a few minutes the place cleared out. Jensen made Jared wait in the corner in case anything came in to check after them but nothing did. Jensen had justified his request by saying that he needed Jared to get him out of trouble if something saw him. Jared wasn’t stupid and after Jensen let up on Jared coming out of the corner he was red faced about it. Jared let it go, but only because he informed Jensen that it wasn’t happening again. If Jensen really felt the need for one of them to hide, they could take turns.
After Jensen agreed, he kept an eye out while Jared found a way to pick the locks to the storage room. There were extra towels, sports duffels, clothes, and shower amenities. They grabbed a little of everything and shoved them in one of the bags, then filled a second with clothes. Next they each took a change of clothes and headed towards the showers, leaving their new bags hanging right outside the shower where they could see them.
Jared did his best not to look at the wall that separated him from Jensen. It was a full wall, but it was frosted glass and though he couldn’t make out any of the details of Jensen’s body, he could see it well enough. He did his best not to think about Jensen watching him as he cleaned away the morning’s activities. He tried not to think about Jensen walking around the wall and claiming Jared again the way he had before.
He dropped his head to the wall in front of him, letting the hot water spray work over the tension in his shoulders. He closed his eyes and tried to think about anything but Jensen. It wasn’t working. He’d been terrified last night of doing something stupid in his sleep, but he’d never dreamed he might be woken up by Jensen’s wandering hands. It had been the most incredible experience of his life, even if he’d felt nearly ripped in two when Jensen’s cock had pushed into his body. Jensen had taken care of him though, worked him up again until all he could feel was the pleasure of it. He couldn’t remember ever having been so wanton in his life, but then again he’d never had sex before.
That was something he didn’t know how to handle. Should he tell Jensen that he’d taken his virginity? Could he tell? Would it even matter? Jensen had seemed ready to pull away from Jared and he’d been lost to figure out what to do to stop it, but then the truth about his sister had come out and Jensen had offered him a lot more than a one night stand. At least, Jared thought he had. Jensen hadn’t said anything about it since the moment had been broken though and Jared wasn’t sure how to answer him.
It was one thing to fantasize about the guy, but another to actually be in a relationship with a teacher. Every instinct Jared had said he wanted Jensen to claim him, to love him, and to open himself up to Jensen. Instinct was what had led him to the room though where his sister had disappeared and his life had been turned upside down. He didn’t know if he could trust himself anymore. He did know that if he said yes, it would be all or nothing, and they would have to keep it a secret from everyone until well after Jared’s graduation. Not only would Jensen be accused of corrupting a student, but Jared was considered unstable as well. Well, if they ever made it back maybe he wouldn’t be. He didn’t know if Jensen’s credentials would be enough to make people believe him about his sister or not.
“Jared.”
He turned at Jensen’s voice and saw his teacher standing behind the shower, eyes raking over Jared’s body to stop at his neck. He couldn’t see the bite mark from the angle Jared had turned his head, but Jared knew he was looking at it anyway. Jensen had a towel wrapped around his waist and Jared let himself take a long look as well.
“Jared,” Jensen started again, breaking Jared from his appreciation of the water dripping down Jensen’s chest. “We should get going before anyone comes back. As empty as it is, they might want to talk and we’re probably not well enough verses in this place to make it sound convincing.”
Jared nodded. “Right. I’ll be out in a second.”
Jensen walked away and Jared did the only thing he could do. He jerked off fast and hard, knowing Jensen couldn’t see him any longer but not sure if he would be able to hear what he was doing. It got him there quicker than his hands, the idea that Jensen might be listening to him, waiting for him. When he finished he wrapped a towel around his waist and headed out to the locker room.
Jensen was already dressed and he had the bags ready to go. Jared changed as quick as he could, trying not to look like he was hurrying. He could feel Jensen’s eyes on him every time he moved and he wasn’t sure if it was his imagination or something left over from the morning.
His face was flushed red when he finally finished and Jensen just gave him a tight smile before he grabbed one of the bags. “Figure we should drop these off in the office and then we’ll see if we can pass for natives and get some food.”
Jared nodded and then grabbed the other bag. “Yeah, I could use some breakfast.”
They walked through the complex without trouble. It bothered Jared that no one seemed to notice them. It bothered him more that the robots weren’t there. Something just wasn’t right and nothing Jared came up with explained why. The people seemed happy and healthy. Sure they smiled more than he was used to and they weren’t talking on their comms to anyone. In fact, he hadn’t seen any type of personal communication devices or computer equipment at all. That was something, he guessed. No one in his family could leave home without their comms, let alone their notebooks and data sets.
He was so buried in the thought that he didn’t realize they’d made it back until Jensen opened the door to the office. Jared stepped in and he was suddenly surrounded by the scent of sex. He swallowed hard as he dropped the bag onto the desk. His face was flushed again and he looked back at Jensen. Jensen’s pupils were dilated and Jared watched him as he continued to take deep breaths. His eyes were fixed on Jared’s with the same intensity they had been that morning. Jared took a step back and walked out of the room before Jensen could touch him. He wasn’t sure what would happen if Jensen did but he wasn’t ready yet.
He didn’t make it past the first row of tables before Jensen was there, chest pressed to Jared’s back as his hands settled on Jared’s hips. He pressed Jared into the table edge and just rested his head against Jared’s nape. For one second he thought he felt the slick caress of a tongue but he told himself it was just his imagination.
“Jared, just wait.”
“I can’t,” he said softly. “I don’t … I don’t know what I want Jensen. I … what happened this morning … I’ve never … I need to think and I can’t with you so close.”
He tried to pull away then and Jensen let him, pulling away just enough for Jared to slip away. He walked out of the building but stopped just outside. He was still hidden by the trees so he was safe, but Jensen would panic if he came out to check on him and Jared wasn’t there. He knew that much and no matter what else was going on, he didn’t want Jensen to be worried about him.
He could almost feel Jensen’s breath at the back of his neck and Jared inhaled to clear his head of it all. He hoped Jensen thought to leave the door open to clear the scent because Jared knew they’d be in there again that night, falling asleep on the couch together if they didn’t find a way home today.
He thought about demanding they eat there and try to get the quantum reflection to work, but he knew he needed to give Jensen some space. Whatever was happening with his teacher, he had to respect that he knew how he worked the best. If it meant he needed to go get breakfast before getting started instead of eating in the lab, Jared would do it.
Instead of worry about it, he turned his head to his surroundings. He walked to the edge of the trees where Jensen could still see him if he came out. When he came out. Out in the distance Jared could see kids playing. People of all ages were at the park and it was fairly busy so it must be a weekend. He saw people with families, people with pets, even couples strolling hand in hand through the park. It wasn’t very different from what he could see at home.
“Jared?”
The voice was quiet and Jared didn’t bother to turn around as Jensen stood beside him. “I’m ready for breakfast. Are you?”
“Yeah, I am. Sorry about … back there. I don’t know what- never mind. I’m sorry.”
Jared turned to look at him then and gave him a small smile. The man was trying and hell but he was gorgeous. Jensen gave him a grateful smile back and then turned towards the nearest food complex.
It was a short walk and the place was busy. Jared and Jensen walked in and took a seat at a back table where they could watch people. There was nothing that stood out as wrong so they went up to the cafeteria line and ordered their food. They got smiles from the people working in the kitchen but no one asked them to pay or pulled them aside for being strangers.
They ate in silence but it creeped Jared out. He reached out with his foot and hooked his ankle around Jensen’s just to feel him there. Jensen looked up from his food, eyes curious, but simply smiled before returning to his food. Jared felt better for the contact and he could see from the way Jensen’s shoulders settled that he did too.
“Jensen, do you really think you can figure it out?” Jared didn’t ask for anything specific just in case they were overheard but he couldn’t keep it down any longer.
Jensen sighed. “No one knows how they work, but I’ll do my best Jared. When we get back to the … uh office, I’d really like to hear what happened to you. Before.”
Jared knew what he was asking and he dreaded it, but if it helped them get home Jared would tell Jensen all about his sister’s disappearance.
On to Chapter Four

Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Warning: student/teacher
Summary: “You remember when I said the stories were all science fiction? I think maybe we just ended up in a story book.”
Author's Note: This was written for the
j2_everafter challenge in *gasp* 2012. I wasn't able to complete the whole story at the time, but I've been sitting on about 10K more words than what was originally posted. For some reason, I decided to dust it off and finish it. Though I will say dusted lightly, more like blew across it and choked on the dust... but lets hope my writing style hasn't changed too much because after chapter four I have to write new material to keep it going :P
The morning light pulled at his consciousness but he ignored it. He was comfortable and there was something warm and delicious on top of him. The soft puff of breath against his neck made him turn his head slightly, breath turned to lips against his skin. He ran his hands down the sides of the young man atop of him and groaned at the feel of young muscles. He reached the taut ass and squeezed, eliciting a moan from the other man. He liked the sound of it, liked that he put that moan there, so he pulled him closer until their cocks were aligned just right.
“J-Jensen?”
Jared… his name was Jared. He remembered that. “Shhhh… just let me,” Jensen said as he thrust up slowly, the drag making him tighten his grip on Jared’s ass. “Feel so good against me Jared.”
Jared let out a shuddered breath and Jensen opened his eyes and couldn’t help the way his gaze latched onto the young man’s lips. He watched the way Jared licked across his lips and he had to taste him. He reluctantly pulled one hand away from his ass and gripped the back of his neck to pull his mouth close. He didn’t waste any time in pressing their lips together. Jared opened almost instantly for him and Jensen licked into his mouth. Jared’s hands came up hesitantly, running through Jensen’s hair and it was all the encouragement he needed. “Need you Jared,” Jensen breathed against his mouth. He started pulling at the buttons on Jared’s shirt until he could push it off his shoulders. He sat up on the couch as he did, Jared’s knees slotting along the outside of Jensen’s thighs like he was made to ride Jensen. He growled into Jared’s mouth, then pulled away as he reached the thin tee shirt that stood between him and Jared. He began to bite and lick his way across Jared’s collarbone as he undid his own shirt and threw it to the floor.
“Jensen?”
Jared’s voice sent a shiver down his spine and Jensen leaned up, taking his mouth in a brutal kiss. He reached between them and undid the button of Jared’s pants. He slowly slid the zipper down and growled in warning when Jared started to pull back. “Mine Jared,” he whispered as he nipped at the soft flesh of his neck.
“Jensen, yes,” Jared moaned.
It was all he needed to hear and Jensen wrapped an arm around Jared’s back and pulled him closer in as he flipped their position, leaving Jared on his back on the couch. Jared’s eyes were blown wide open and Jensen kissed him softly before he started working his pants off. Jared’s hands were all over his back, pulling him closer and then he reached between them. His hand brushed against Jensen’s erection and Jensen damn near came just for the thought of Jared touching him. He growled low in his throat and pulled back, his hands finally divesting Jared of his remaining clothes.
Jared was beautiful; his eyes were downcast, his graceful cheekbones tinged pink as he waited for Jensen to look his fill. He could take days just looking at the glorious sight before him but he knew that would have to wait for another time. He needed to claim Jared, to fill him full and make sure everyone who looked at him could see he was Jensen’s.
Jensen quickly rid himself of the rest of his own clothes, then settled onto the couch between Jared’s legs. Jared was half sitting against the arm of the couch and there was barely room, but Jensen needed to taste him, to know the feel of him. He leaned down and took Jared’s leaking cock into his mouth. Jared screamed out his name but Jensen barely heard it over his own moans. Damn, but Jared had to be made for him. His taste was addictive and Jensen knew he’d need more as soon as the first bit of precome reached his tongue. He slid his hands up under his boy’s spread legs and gripped his hips hard, holding Jared right where he wanted him. Jared tried to thrust up but Jensen held him tight, growling to remind Jared who was in charge. Jared looked down at him, eyes wide, his mouth open in surprise, but then he moaned Jensen’s name again and Jensen rewarded his obedience by swallowing down his full length.
He could feel the tremors that ran through Jared’s body and then Jared’s hand was in his hair, trying to pull him off. Jensen refused to be moved but he pulled back until just the head of Jared’s cock was in his mouth. He sucked and licked and then Jared was coming. Jensen swallowed it down and kept sucking, taking every last drop that Jared could give him, letting the last bit rest on his tongue as he savored the flavor.
When Jensen sat up on his knees, Jared just watched, face flushed and lips kiss-swollen. Jensen leaned up, kissing him long and slow before slipping an arm under Jared’s waist and pulling him up. Jared allowed Jensen to manhandle him until he was on his knees, bending slightly until his chest was pushed into the back of the couch.
“So good, baby,” Jensen cooed as he pressed his body against Jared’s back. He let his arms travel up the length of Jared’s arms all the way down to his thighs. “Spread wide for me,” he said as he slipped off the couch and onto the floor. Jared did as he was told and Jensen used his hands to spread Jared’s ass open for him. He stared for a moment at the tight ring of muscles, licking his lips before he leaned in, ghosting his breath over it. Jared shivered and Jensen smiled. “So responsive. You want me to do it, don’t you? Want me to lick you open before I split you on my cock?”
“Jensen,” Jared’s tone begged better than any words he’d ever heard. Jensen rewarded him again by leaning in and licking lightly over his hole. He gripped his ass hard, exposing him further so he could run his tongue over the edge of his entrance. He continued doing it, pressing every so often with the flat of his tongue. When he could feel the ring of muscles give, he speared his tongue into Jared’s hole. Jared moaned and Jensen fucked in harder, unable to help himself. His tongue worked Jared nice and wet and then he pressed in with a finger. It was so fucking good, Jared squirming on his tongue and letting him fuck him with his finger at the same time, so fucking good to taste Jared and hear his name murmured from his lips in a voice that was damn near wrecked.
He pressed a second finger in and before long a third. He could see the way Jared pulled back at the third but Jensen was so far gone he wasn’t sure he was going to be able to open him up much more. He needed to be inside Jared, to claim his lover with his seed and his mark. He knew how tight the young man was and he knew there had been no others before him though so he kept pressing in with his fingers, placing kisses and gentle bites on every bit of flesh he could reach.
Jared opened up so beautifully and when he started fucking himself on Jensen’s fingers he pressed in hard as he moved to kneel on the couch behind him. He kept his fingers working him open as Jared turned his head, leaning back against Jensen in a blatant gesture. Jensen kissed him softly, deepening it as Jared moaned into his mouth.
Jensen pressed his cock against the sweat slicked crease of Jared’s ass as Jared practically mewled for more. Jensen bit Jared’s bottom lip as he pulled his fingers free and guided the head of his cock to Jared’s entrance. He pressed in, covering Jared’s neck in kisses as Jared cried out. Jensen’s cock head was sliding past the tight ring of muscle but Jared was too still so Jensen reached between Jared and the couch and began stroking his cock as he pushed slowly into his body.
Jared began to harden in his hand and Jared dropped his forehead to the back of the couch as he started relaxing around Jensen’s cock. “So beautiful, taking me,” Jensen encouraged. “So beautiful, opening up for me, Jared.” He moaned as he slid past the final resistance and came to rest balls deep in Jared. He leaned forward, catching himself on the wall with his free hand. “Yes, Jared,” he whispered into his skin, “mine.”
He pulled back until just the cock head was still inside Jared and then pushed in with one strong thrust. Jared moaned and Jensen bit his neck to bury his own sounds. Jared started wiggling on the end of his cock though and any thought Jensen had about making sure he wasn’t too rough with Jared went completely out of his mind.
“Is this what you want?” Jensen asked as he pulled out and slammed back into Jared. Jared cursed and Jensen did it again. “Gonna fuck you hard, baby, fuck you until you’re begging to come. Gonna let you too, gonna make you come around my cock and then I’m gonna fill you up with my come. You like that?” he asked when Jared leaned back against Jensen’s chest, dropping his head back onto Jensen’s shoulder. “Course you do. Fucking made for me, of course you want it.”
He fucked hard into his boy, and angled his hips until he found the right spot. Jared cried out when Jensen hit his prostate and Jensen buried his head in the back of Jared’s neck, biting hard as he continued to thrust up into that spot. Jared reached back with one hand, his fingers digging into Jensen’s scalp as he pulled his mouth tighter over the bite mark and Jensen let him have what he wanted. He bit again and again, marking him as he pounded into him. He tasted blood on his tongue, could smell it in the air and then Jared’s ass was clenching around him as he came all over the back of the couch. Jensen pushed him through it, fucking his twitching hole until his own release was eminent. He grabbed Jared’s hips with both hands and fucked hard up, pressing Jared down into his lap to keep himself buried as deep as he could be in his boy’s body. He came long and hard, licking at the bleeding bite on the back of Jared’s neck.
Jared was collapsed in his lap and Jensen had him held tight, content to keep him close and safe. He dropped his head to rest between Jared’s shoulder blades and took a deep breath, just letting it all sink in; the feel and smell and taste of his lover. He had no idea how long he sat like that, but then Jared started shivering and Jensen pulled out of him slowly before setting them back on the couch the way they’d started out, with Jared’s head resting on his chest and Jensen stroking soothing circles into his back.
He was almost asleep again before Jared pulled away, staring down at Jensen, wide eyed. “Did … what just… ” Jared’s eyes fixed on Jensen’s mouth and he shuddered visibly. “You have blood on your lips.”
It was like he’d been doused with a bucket of cold water and Jensen was finally awake. He swallowed against the lump in his throat but he could taste blood and he licked his lips, taking the last bit of Jared’s flavor into his mouth. Jared focused on his lips and as horrified as Jensen was at what he’d done, he couldn’t help but feel aroused at the way Jared watched him; at the way Jared reacted to him.
“Jared, I … I … did I hurt you?”
Jared blushed but he was shaking his head. “No. A little maybe, but it doesn’t hurt now.”
Jensen reached out and pulled Jared’s chin up until he was looking him in the eye. “I’m so sorry, Jared. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I don’t know what happened. I’ve never …” he tried to think of something to say but nothing could even come close to what he was feeling. He’d never lost control of himself like that. He knew he was a bit of a control freak; he liked to have things his way and he liked his lovers to know it, but this was entirely different. He knew it was consensual, but that didn’t make it right and Jensen had no excuse for why now of all times his judgment went out the window.
Jared sat up straighter but he didn’t try to get away from Jensen. Instead, he raised one hand and felt the back of his neck where Jensen had bitten through the skin. “Never would have thought you were a biter,” he said softly. When he looked up there was a small smile on his face, shy and timid and Jensen wasn’t sure how to deal with that.
“Jared-”
“Jensen? I’m alright. Let’s just … chalk it up to this place and figure out how we can get home, okay?”
Jensen didn’t know if it was that easy, but it wasn’t like he could do anything else really. “Yeah, okay. Just, Jared,” he couldn’t stop himself as he reached up and touched Jared’s cheek, caressing it slowly when Jared leaned into the touch. “I would never hurt you. Do you know that?”
Jared let out a slightly hysterical laugh at that but he nodded. “I know.”
Jared didn’t settle back into him then though, as much as Jensen would have felt better if Jared had allowed him to touch a little longer. He understood why Jared might feel the need to pull away from him but Jensen didn’t want it to be like that between them. He still felt the need to keep Jared close and it would be problematic if he pulled away every time Jensen needed him there.
“We should probably get started,” Jared said, as he found his tee shirt and pulled it over his head. Jensen watched him as he scoured the floor for his clothes, gently setting Jensen’s on the table in front of the couch where he could easily reach them.
Jensen took the hint and started dressing himself, wishing he could hit a shower first. He’d have to make that the first order of business after breakfast. If the sports complex was as busy today as it had seemed yesterday, no one would notice the two of them there. Either that or they were going to have to wait until after the robots came to collect everyone again, like they had the day before.
Jensen pulled his pants up and grabbed his shirt, starting to button it up. He looked up and caught Jared staring at his abs and his dick twitched in interest. He looked away, focused on his buttons and not his half naked student.
The word lover tried to slip into that description but he refused to allow it. Whatever had just happened, Jared wasn’t his lover. This wasn’t going to lead to some fairytale ending where Jensen got to keep the young man as his own. The only way this ended if he kept this up was with him losing his livelihood and never being able to teach again with Jared’s parent possibly suing for criminal charges against him for having any sort of sexual relationship with their son.
He just had to focus on getting them out of there and back to where the world made sense again.
He focused on the rest of the problem then and let his mind slip away from the frightening events of the morning and to the problem of the quantum reflection. There were plenty of theories on what made them work and what might connect the worlds of different dimensions, how some were closer than others, but that didn’t explain why this one had suddenly taken them to another place. Rumors of something like that had always surrounded the research but no one took them for anything other than - that’s exactly what he told Jared. They were just science fiction stories. And then Jared told him alternate universes used to be science fiction too.
“You knew.”
It was an accusation and Jared looked up at Jensen, confusion in his eyes for a second before they turned darker, frightened and lost.
“You knew something would happen when we turned on the quantum reflection.”
“No, I didn’t know.”
“Don’t lie to me Jared. You were terrified of it. You skipped out on it last year and your parents covered for you to keep me from penalizing your grade for it. You all knew something.”
“You said the stories were bullshit, what did you expect me to say?” Jared’s hands were clenched at his side and his voice was raised in anger. “Hey, Mr. Ackles, I don’t want to be part of this experiment because I walked into the wrong room at the wrong time and my sister disappeared through one before I knew what was happening? I don’t think this is a great idea because I’ve spent the last year in therapy because everyone thinks I watched my sister being horrifically murdered and I cracked and my mind replaced it with her sliding through a quantum reflection?” Jared let out a sharp snort that was followed quickly by a sob. “That I broke into the lab twelve times, trying to make it work to try to get back to her and I couldn’t so they moved it away from the school so I couldn’t get to it anymore?”
Jared fell to his knees and Jensen caught him and wrapped him in his arms. His boy clung to him and washed Jensen’s neck in warm tears. Jensen held him tighter until Jared’s tears stopped and the trembling in his body had ceased. Jared pulled away, but Jensen grabbed his neck, letting his fingers brush over the mark he’d made. It stilled Jared and he looked Jensen in the eye.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Jared looked at him like he’d asked the stupidest question and he was right. “Of course you didn’t. You tried, in your own way, didn’t you? I just wasn’t listening. I’m sorry. You - your parents know though, right? That’s why they covered for you when I called?”
Jared’s eyes hardened slightly. “They think I’m crazy,” he whispered. “The doctors told them I’d had a psychotic break with reality. When I started picking the locks and sneaking into the lab they took it as proof. Then they moved the quantum reflection and we moved away so that no one would know I’d ever had a sister.”
“Jared…” there was nothing he could say to comfort him so he leaned in and brushed his lips lightly across Jared’s. “I’m so sorry baby.”
“Jensen?”
It didn’t matter anymore. He’d always followed his logic over his heart but this time he couldn’t. Every instinct in him said that Jared was the most important thing to happen to him since he found the laws of science. He didn’t care what it meant when they got home. He’d find a way to make it work. Jared deserved someone to make him happy, to believe in him, and Jensen was going to be that person.
“This … this thing … if you want this, if you want me … I’ll be whatever you want, Jared. I want you, but I can’t make that decision for you so you have to let me know.”
Jared licked his lips and Jensen watched the way his Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed. Before he could answer though, a noise from outside the room made them both look up.
Jensen moved to the door and opened it slowly to look out into the lab. There was nothing there so he opened the door to look at the hallway. Just as he was about to, he heard the noise again. He crawled up onto one of the tables and looked out the windows and saw some kids playing a game that involved kicking a ball long distances. They had kicked the ball into the back wall of the building and that was the noise they’d heard. Jensen let out a deep breath as some adults herded the children back to the regular field of the sports complex.
“Just some kids,” he said to Jared as he hopped down from the table. “We should probably grab something to eat. Grab a shower at the complex? We might be able to find some extra clothes too.”
“Yeah,” Jared said with a nod. “That sounds like a plan.”
**
The sports complex was easy to slip into and no one noticed two extra men hanging out in the locker room. There must have been a big game or something because after they’d been there a few minutes the place cleared out. Jensen made Jared wait in the corner in case anything came in to check after them but nothing did. Jensen had justified his request by saying that he needed Jared to get him out of trouble if something saw him. Jared wasn’t stupid and after Jensen let up on Jared coming out of the corner he was red faced about it. Jared let it go, but only because he informed Jensen that it wasn’t happening again. If Jensen really felt the need for one of them to hide, they could take turns.
After Jensen agreed, he kept an eye out while Jared found a way to pick the locks to the storage room. There were extra towels, sports duffels, clothes, and shower amenities. They grabbed a little of everything and shoved them in one of the bags, then filled a second with clothes. Next they each took a change of clothes and headed towards the showers, leaving their new bags hanging right outside the shower where they could see them.
Jared did his best not to look at the wall that separated him from Jensen. It was a full wall, but it was frosted glass and though he couldn’t make out any of the details of Jensen’s body, he could see it well enough. He did his best not to think about Jensen watching him as he cleaned away the morning’s activities. He tried not to think about Jensen walking around the wall and claiming Jared again the way he had before.
He dropped his head to the wall in front of him, letting the hot water spray work over the tension in his shoulders. He closed his eyes and tried to think about anything but Jensen. It wasn’t working. He’d been terrified last night of doing something stupid in his sleep, but he’d never dreamed he might be woken up by Jensen’s wandering hands. It had been the most incredible experience of his life, even if he’d felt nearly ripped in two when Jensen’s cock had pushed into his body. Jensen had taken care of him though, worked him up again until all he could feel was the pleasure of it. He couldn’t remember ever having been so wanton in his life, but then again he’d never had sex before.
That was something he didn’t know how to handle. Should he tell Jensen that he’d taken his virginity? Could he tell? Would it even matter? Jensen had seemed ready to pull away from Jared and he’d been lost to figure out what to do to stop it, but then the truth about his sister had come out and Jensen had offered him a lot more than a one night stand. At least, Jared thought he had. Jensen hadn’t said anything about it since the moment had been broken though and Jared wasn’t sure how to answer him.
It was one thing to fantasize about the guy, but another to actually be in a relationship with a teacher. Every instinct Jared had said he wanted Jensen to claim him, to love him, and to open himself up to Jensen. Instinct was what had led him to the room though where his sister had disappeared and his life had been turned upside down. He didn’t know if he could trust himself anymore. He did know that if he said yes, it would be all or nothing, and they would have to keep it a secret from everyone until well after Jared’s graduation. Not only would Jensen be accused of corrupting a student, but Jared was considered unstable as well. Well, if they ever made it back maybe he wouldn’t be. He didn’t know if Jensen’s credentials would be enough to make people believe him about his sister or not.
“Jared.”
He turned at Jensen’s voice and saw his teacher standing behind the shower, eyes raking over Jared’s body to stop at his neck. He couldn’t see the bite mark from the angle Jared had turned his head, but Jared knew he was looking at it anyway. Jensen had a towel wrapped around his waist and Jared let himself take a long look as well.
“Jared,” Jensen started again, breaking Jared from his appreciation of the water dripping down Jensen’s chest. “We should get going before anyone comes back. As empty as it is, they might want to talk and we’re probably not well enough verses in this place to make it sound convincing.”
Jared nodded. “Right. I’ll be out in a second.”
Jensen walked away and Jared did the only thing he could do. He jerked off fast and hard, knowing Jensen couldn’t see him any longer but not sure if he would be able to hear what he was doing. It got him there quicker than his hands, the idea that Jensen might be listening to him, waiting for him. When he finished he wrapped a towel around his waist and headed out to the locker room.
Jensen was already dressed and he had the bags ready to go. Jared changed as quick as he could, trying not to look like he was hurrying. He could feel Jensen’s eyes on him every time he moved and he wasn’t sure if it was his imagination or something left over from the morning.
His face was flushed red when he finally finished and Jensen just gave him a tight smile before he grabbed one of the bags. “Figure we should drop these off in the office and then we’ll see if we can pass for natives and get some food.”
Jared nodded and then grabbed the other bag. “Yeah, I could use some breakfast.”
They walked through the complex without trouble. It bothered Jared that no one seemed to notice them. It bothered him more that the robots weren’t there. Something just wasn’t right and nothing Jared came up with explained why. The people seemed happy and healthy. Sure they smiled more than he was used to and they weren’t talking on their comms to anyone. In fact, he hadn’t seen any type of personal communication devices or computer equipment at all. That was something, he guessed. No one in his family could leave home without their comms, let alone their notebooks and data sets.
He was so buried in the thought that he didn’t realize they’d made it back until Jensen opened the door to the office. Jared stepped in and he was suddenly surrounded by the scent of sex. He swallowed hard as he dropped the bag onto the desk. His face was flushed again and he looked back at Jensen. Jensen’s pupils were dilated and Jared watched him as he continued to take deep breaths. His eyes were fixed on Jared’s with the same intensity they had been that morning. Jared took a step back and walked out of the room before Jensen could touch him. He wasn’t sure what would happen if Jensen did but he wasn’t ready yet.
He didn’t make it past the first row of tables before Jensen was there, chest pressed to Jared’s back as his hands settled on Jared’s hips. He pressed Jared into the table edge and just rested his head against Jared’s nape. For one second he thought he felt the slick caress of a tongue but he told himself it was just his imagination.
“Jared, just wait.”
“I can’t,” he said softly. “I don’t … I don’t know what I want Jensen. I … what happened this morning … I’ve never … I need to think and I can’t with you so close.”
He tried to pull away then and Jensen let him, pulling away just enough for Jared to slip away. He walked out of the building but stopped just outside. He was still hidden by the trees so he was safe, but Jensen would panic if he came out to check on him and Jared wasn’t there. He knew that much and no matter what else was going on, he didn’t want Jensen to be worried about him.
He could almost feel Jensen’s breath at the back of his neck and Jared inhaled to clear his head of it all. He hoped Jensen thought to leave the door open to clear the scent because Jared knew they’d be in there again that night, falling asleep on the couch together if they didn’t find a way home today.
He thought about demanding they eat there and try to get the quantum reflection to work, but he knew he needed to give Jensen some space. Whatever was happening with his teacher, he had to respect that he knew how he worked the best. If it meant he needed to go get breakfast before getting started instead of eating in the lab, Jared would do it.
Instead of worry about it, he turned his head to his surroundings. He walked to the edge of the trees where Jensen could still see him if he came out. When he came out. Out in the distance Jared could see kids playing. People of all ages were at the park and it was fairly busy so it must be a weekend. He saw people with families, people with pets, even couples strolling hand in hand through the park. It wasn’t very different from what he could see at home.
“Jared?”
The voice was quiet and Jared didn’t bother to turn around as Jensen stood beside him. “I’m ready for breakfast. Are you?”
“Yeah, I am. Sorry about … back there. I don’t know what- never mind. I’m sorry.”
Jared turned to look at him then and gave him a small smile. The man was trying and hell but he was gorgeous. Jensen gave him a grateful smile back and then turned towards the nearest food complex.
It was a short walk and the place was busy. Jared and Jensen walked in and took a seat at a back table where they could watch people. There was nothing that stood out as wrong so they went up to the cafeteria line and ordered their food. They got smiles from the people working in the kitchen but no one asked them to pay or pulled them aside for being strangers.
They ate in silence but it creeped Jared out. He reached out with his foot and hooked his ankle around Jensen’s just to feel him there. Jensen looked up from his food, eyes curious, but simply smiled before returning to his food. Jared felt better for the contact and he could see from the way Jensen’s shoulders settled that he did too.
“Jensen, do you really think you can figure it out?” Jared didn’t ask for anything specific just in case they were overheard but he couldn’t keep it down any longer.
Jensen sighed. “No one knows how they work, but I’ll do my best Jared. When we get back to the … uh office, I’d really like to hear what happened to you. Before.”
Jared knew what he was asking and he dreaded it, but if it helped them get home Jared would tell Jensen all about his sister’s disappearance.
