Untitled project part 2 !
Ok ladies here we go with the second chapter ... thanks for reading !
Sorry I'm a little bit distracted while writing this because I'm watching the LACon tweets in the other window ;o)
By the time Clif arrived to pick-em up Jensen could already feel the effects of the meds kicking in and he was glad that the nausea had vanished and the pain in his abdomen had settled down to a bearable level he was sure he could live thru the day with.
When he dropped into the backseat of the SUV Clif looked at him with a worried frown and asked “You’re ok man?”
“M’fine,” was the mumbled answer he received.
Clif looked over to Jared. “Stomach bug,” the younger actor mouthed silently and satisfied with that Clif started the engine.
Ten minutes later they arrived at the Sheraton only to find a huge crowd standing in front of the main entrance. With a quick glance in the rearview mirror and at Jensen’s pale face, Clif decided to head for the back doors and the staff only entrance.
He parked the car right next to the door and watched Jensen slowly climbing out and absently rubbing his stomach.
“Last chance to turn around and head back home, buddy.”
Jared opened the door but Jensen shook his head and stepped right in.
“Let’s do this,” he smiled and patted his tall friend on the back.
They made their way thru the long corridors to the main hall and were greeted by a huge crowd of cheering fans.
A woman in a business suit met them half way and introduced herself as Kathy the convention assistant.
“Good morning,” she took a quick look at her clipboard before she continued, ”Well you have another half an hour til we start with the photo ops, after that we’re gonna have a small lunch break and in the afternoon you’ll both have your single panels and the one together. We have a pretty tight schedule so please make sure that you’re not wearing out the time slots too much.”
Jared looked at Jensen and rolled his eyes.
“So don’t you dare wasting our precious time on a nice chat with a pretty fangirl!” Jensen laughed out loud at the face Jared was pulling along with his statement but was cut short by another sharp pain slicing thru his right side.
He tried to ease the pain off by wrapping his arms protectively around his stomach.
“Dude you’re ok?”
“Yeah, just don’t make me laugh man.”
Kathy looked bewildered at the two men in front of her.
She noticed the pale face of the older one and said:”I think we should stop by at make-up before we start with the photo ops.”
Jensen nodded and pulled Jared along.”Come on big boy let’s make you look pretty for the fans!”
Jared pouted and giggled at the same time. “Why? I’m not pretty enough?”
Clif followed them and only shook his head.
After the make-up girls finished their job with the boys, Kathy lead them to two rooms on the first floor where they were supposed to have their pictures with the fans taken.
Jared didn’t really like the thought of letting Jensen out of his sight because he still had that uneasy feeling that something wasn’t quite right with his friend, but as their time schedule was pretty tight already they had to split up in order to get thru with all the topics planned for the day.
“Ok Sasquatch, you better behave yourself. I don’t wanna hear any complaints later on the panel!” Jensen smiled sneakily while Jared was showing him the finger in return.
“Bitch!” - “Jerk!”
With that they both headed into their rooms and Jared thought by himself.
‘I guess he’s really feeling better and just fighting a silly stomach bug. Nothing to worry about.’
He had no clue that the weird feeling he had all morning would prove itself right sooner than expected.
One hour later they met again for their double photo op.
There was a long line all the way down the corridor with fans waiting for their turn to have their picture taken.
Jared shook his head. “How many are they trying to squeeze in today?”
Jensen nodded. “Yeah, looks like they’re trying to sell off the photos by the minute. No time for a chat with the fans anymore, sometimes I really wish we would have more time for them, just like in the old days.” He swayed a little and Jared grabbed his arm and frowned.
“Man you’re sweating and you’re feeling worse, right?”
The older actor shook his head. “Nah, it’s just hot in here.”
“Dude, if this is true I would be the sweaty one and not you!” Jared lifted his hand to touch the forehead of his buddy and flinched at the heat radiating from his friends skin. “You’re burning up man!”
Jensen smiled weakly. “Guess I have to skip Steve’s concert tonite?”
“I call Clif so that he can drive you home.”
“No it’s ok,man. Just let us finish the photo ops and after that I’m gonna take some more of those pills and rest a little. The fans have been waiting long enough and they shall get what they paid for.”
“You’re as stubborn as Dean!” Jared sighed.
”Maybe that’s the reason why I’m playing Dean and you’re stuck with Sammy?”
Jensen straightened himself and put on his best Dean smile. "Come on man, we got work to do!"
His friend shrugged helplessly and followed him into the room.
