After telling Jensen everything about your breakup with Jared, you felt a weight lift off of your shoulders. The only people to know the full truth had been you, Jared and Gen. Of course, that was how they wanted it. You felt like you were outnumbered, and had you outed the truth - they would have denied it.

Jared and Jensen, after working together for years, were the best of friends. Over the course of your relationship with Jared, meeting Jensen and becoming friends with him ended up being the high point, but you knew that the bond they’d developed would always be greater than whatever kind of relationship you could build with Jensen.

That seemed to go out of the window last night, but only really became apparent on set today when the formerly clear and comfortable air started to tense, and everyone seemed to be holding their breath without really knowing why.
You were silent as ever as Polly put your makeup on for the day, despite all of her questions and excitement of your more than zealous performance with Jensen the day before. She, as well as everyone else, knows about your past with Jared and threw out that maybe everyone was acting weird because of the kiss. She figured maybe Jared heard it was a bit steamier than anticipated and perhaps he was jealous. It was the first thing to make you laugh.

You brush her hand away as Jensen walks by, apologizing to her as you sprint for him. You grip onto his shoulder before saying anything, turning him to face you. He doesn’t move his eyes, keeping them on the ground but you notice that they are absent and have tired circles forming underneath them.

“Are you okay?” you ask, nearly tripping on the words. “You’re not upset with me, right?”

His eyes finally flicker to yours, painted with surprise and squinting slightly, “what? Why would I be upset with you?”
12Please respect copyright.PENANAwKsNdR6zEW
You shrug, “we haven’t really spoken since last night and I - I don’t know. I mean,” you lower your voice to a whisper, “you and Jared are best friends-”
12Please respect copyright.PENANAcyRWhq4BW0
“Were,” he cuts in sharply. “I could never remain friends with a person who could hurt someone so deeply and be fine with keeping that a secret.”
12Please respect copyright.PENANAV8vsTeNF2Q
You close your eyes, exhaling a long breath. This is not what you wanted to happen when you told him. You simply just wanted him to know about it, should there be anything forming between the two of you. What you didn’t want, was to cause tension on set.

He gently brushes your hand from his chest and rushes onto the set, getting himself prepared for the last scene of the day. Ironically, the Winchester brothers are in another non-talking spell that your character forces them to break out of, but of course, that only leads to a fight between the two of them.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAemolNbQdCz
Begrudgingly dragging yourself behind him, you find your mark on set and prepare for the beginning of the scene. When the director calls ‘action’, you take slow steps to your next mark.

The Winchester’s stand facing away from each other in a small motel room. Dean has his arms crossed, and Sam exhales slowly before bringing himself around to face Dean’s back.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAwCXDEa5jz6
“Look, Dean. It was stupid,” he rolls his eyes, letting his arms fall to the side, “it was reckless and -”
12Please respect copyright.PENANAqzJMiViIH2
Dean flips around, eyes full of animosity and eyebrows pointing into them, “stupid?” he repeats. Sam nods slowly. “Reckless?” He scoffs.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAh0Psyzm4sM
It was your idea to get them talking in the first place, so you take a few steps away from the bed should you have to moderate. The anger radiating from Jensen isn’t coming from Dean at all. You figure it has to be coming from what you confided in him the night before and gulp in anticipation. You open your mouth to say your line, but Jensen speaks over you.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAIVZFxvO8xr
“It was more than just ‘reckless’. What you did was - it was cold-blooded, it was cruel and it was downright disgusting,” he spits. Sam folds his face in confusion, he as well as anyone knows this is not part of the script. Dean takes a step closer, ratting a finger at him. “I can’t believe the extent you went to, to make yourself happy. What you did to her, was-” he shakes his head, “there are no words for it.”
12Please respect copyright.PENANAb3b3m3UEWE
Turning away from him, Dean throws his hands on top of his head, running them down his face and letting out a long sigh.
12Please respect copyright.PENANA30yuzmjE8o
“I - I don’t understand, Dean. I - I was doing what I could to protect you - protect Bell,” he says in an attempt to get back on track.
12Please respect copyright.PENANA2oKOgYk01S
Jensen flips around again, waving his finger, “no! You were doing what was best for you, Jared! You were only focused on what made you happy. You didn’t care that you were hurting her, you didn’t care that you broke her heart and you obviously didn’t care how much it’s hurt her to keep this bottled up for years, not being able to tell anyone about it, lest she ruined your career,” he steps closer, lowering his voice. “Do you even care that it hurt her?” he tilts his head to the side, “does it even bother you for one second that she’s been hurting this whole time, with no one to go to for comfort?”

The director has called cut, but Jared and Jensen are too deep into the argument to pay that any mind. Jared takes a step closer, scrunching his face, “don’t you dare assume I never cared for her! I loved her so mu-”
12Please respect copyright.PENANASBhWaPVIsn
“Why would I have to assume anything? You proved it yourself! You loved her until someone new came along, right? Until it just didn’t fit in with you anymore?” He shakes his head, “and that bull shit you spat out at the convention. I wish I’d have known this before then, but - well, I guess it doesn’t change much,” he looks up into Jared’s eyes, “how long were you going to go on before telling the truth? How long would you have let this go, huh?”
12Please respect copyright.PENANA0pM3vjJb6A
Jared’s mouth opens, eyes softer now and looking back and forth between you and Jensen. You stand behind Jensen now, using him as a shield.
12Please respect copyright.PENANARzdYk5VCtl
“I mean, it would have come out eventually,” he carelessly shrugs, looking over at you. You turn your face into Jensen’s arm, realizing that he was never going to come forward with the truth, and knowing that he would rather hurt you than tell the truth makes it too painful to look at him.
12Please respect copyright.PENANA0l273VS8dv
“Just not from you,” Jensen states, face cold and chest puffed. The crew stands in silence, watching the scene unfold, “you would have let her carry this to her grave, wouldn’t you?” Jensen yells the anger back in his voice.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAVNvgtd0Ct7
His breathing elevates, the anger inside of him taking over as he throws a hearty punch to the side of Jared’s face. Everyone on set gasps, not really knowing how to respond to the sudden fight. Before he can wind up to throw another, Misha and Mark grip onto Jensen’s arms, pushing you back and pulling Jensen away from Jared as the director and a few medics rush to his side. Jared crouches over, holding a hand to his face.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAGqudU2dyE6
Everyone else keeps their distance, mouths open and whispering among each other. Your heart drops into your chest, the commotion is too much for you to take in, leaving you overwhelmed. You are somewhat happy that Jensen took it upon himself to stand up for you, but you are also terrified of what’s to come at the following conventions or days on set.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAr3ANQY9ZSV
Jensen wiggles out of Misha and Mark’s grasp, shaking out his arm as he walks quickly off of the set. You glance over at Jared apologetically as he stands now with an ice pack to his eye before running after Jensen.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAv5yA2HLADY
You find him in the break room, sitting on the couch with his face cradled in his hands. Carefully sitting beside him, you put a hand on his back and one on his knee.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAZpLo2UyduA
“I’m sorry, Y/N,” he murmurs under his hands. You remain quiet for just a moment, running comforting circles on his back. He pulls his hands away to look into your eyes, his own glistening. Your head tilts to the side, a small pout forming on your lips. “I lost myself back there, it was stupid, careless.” His head shakes as he looks down at the carpet. “You said you wanted it to remain a secret, but I couldn’t-”
12Please respect copyright.PENANAfCq2Mrlu3n
Your hand moves to his neck, just gently rubbing his skin before entering into his hair. Bringing yourself to your knees in front of him, you draw your other hand to the side of his face to run your thumb against his cheeks. “It’s fine,” you whisper, but he only shakes his head.
12Please respect copyright.PENANArlYJvperCF
Scooting yourself between his thighs, a few unintentional tears slip from your eyes, “Jensen,” you squeak. “What you did back there-” the tears fall into his lap as you dip your head down.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAP4LDLmsoUX
He places a few fingers underneath your chin, forcing your head up to look him in the eyes again. “I know, Y/N. I never meant to hurt you, I swear. I’m so sorry,” he whispers softly.
12Please respect copyright.PENANA3DWYZcJQ7A
“No, that’s not what I’m saying. I-” realizing that words will never be able to capture the gratitude you feel, you take a deep breath.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAe1BtrTYXXg
Keeping your hands on his cheeks, you bring your face closer to his and let your lips meet against his, keeping them motionless until his grasp on. His face tightens up before his hands move onto the back of your neck, kissing you softly yet passionately while pulling you a bit closer.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAsB6PVAbtTL
Straightening your back, your chest presses against his, and his hands trail down to the top of your hips. The kiss, while as sensual as the one you shared the day before, isn’t as sultry as yesterday. With both of your cheeks glistening from tears, this kiss seems to hold an answer to all of your questions - there’s grace in this kiss, an element of fondness, or emotion, rather than the lust that was present yesterday.
12Please respect copyright.PENANAIOIRfAKR6S
What was unclear to you yesterday is apparent now, at this moment - after his outburst at Jared for breaking your heart, to kissing you as the world depends on it - Jensen is definitely, undeniably falling for you, and you can’t help but be falling for him, too.
