spn_j2_xmas. I kind of. Averaged those? I don't know. Whatever I did, this came out. I hope you enjoy it ♥
Title from Tristan Prettyman.
Disclaimer: I make this shit up.
The thing is, Jensen is a kid person.
It took Jared a long time to learn this about him--he doesn't seem like the type. Jared, of course, loves kids, but Jared generally loves everyone and everything, and he loves kids kind of in a theoretical way. If anyone asks, he'll say he likes them, but when he's actually with kids, he's awkward and unsure.
Jensen, though.
It's never as obvious as it is at Christmas. They're with Jared's family, and Jensen has Jared's niece on his shoulders, helping her get the angel on top of the Christmas tree.
"Jared," says his mother softly, coming up behind him. He flushes immediately, knowing he's been caught out with a goofy, fond expression. Not that it's news to anyone that he's fond of Jensen, but he still feels naked, exposed.
"Hi," he says.
"You know we all adore Jensen," she says.
Jared nods. "Of course I do."
"I'm just wondering," she says, her eyes on Jensen and the tree, "what you're waiting for."
Jeff comes in with more ornaments just then, and Jared is, thankfully, safe.
*
It hasn't exactly been easy.
It hasn't been hard either, it's just--Jensen's never liked being public about things. And Jared's always cared more about what Jensen wants than what he wants. And they've always been close, so aside from a core group of internet crazies, no one really thinks twice about the two of them still being friends.
If they have to lie about a few things, that's fine. If they have to sneak out of the house sometimes, it's no big deal.
But they're not--they're not getting any younger, or any less in love, and Jared doesn't know if Jensen cares about that.
He doesn't know if Jensen hates it as much as he does.
*
Jared's a little buzzed on eggnog, warm and fuzzy and sleepy as he and Jensen cuddle on the porch. It feels dangerous, somehow; all the neighbors know that he and Jensen still spend time together, of course, and no one's spilled to the press yet, but being out in the open is different for them.
"You ever want to?" Jared asks.
Jensen raises his eyebrow. "That's not a sentence."
"It starts with a capital letter and ends with a period," says Jared. He's pretty much always willing to give up on important conversations to switch to nitpicking.
"One, it ended with a question mark. Two, you're talking, so that doesn't even make sense. Like your sentence."
"You ever want to stop this shit?"
Jensen stiffens.
"Oh--god, no, not. Not us," says Jared, pulling him closer. "God. Never us."
Jensen relaxes. "This is what you get for not using real sentences," he mutters.
"I meant," says Jared, swallowing. "I meant the lying. You know, about--everything."
"Oh," says Jensen. "That."
"I just--three years, man. I'm already thirty. You wait much longer and I won't be a trophy bride."
"You saying you're gonna get fat and ugly?" asks Jensen, but he still sounds tense.
"As soon as possible," says Jared. "It's character development. For Allowances."
"Ron is becoming...?"
"Santa," Jared supplies.
Jensen snorts. "I always knew your show was retarded."
Jared pokes him in the side. "You love my show."
"Santa? That's really the best you can come up with?"
"It was that or Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. Which is way less seasonal."
Jensen sighs. "I don't want us to be some big deal just because we're gay."
Jared nods. "Me neither. But--man, I don't want us to not be gay just so we won't be a big deal. I..." he looks down at Jensen. His hair is a little gray, and his six-pack is now a stealth six-pack, hidden under a protective layer of fat. Not a lot of it, yeah, but. Enough.
Jared loves him so much he can't breathe for it, sometimes.
"Man, Jensen. This is it."
"Yeah, it is."
"My mom wants me to marry you. My brother wants me to marry you. My nieces and nephews want me to marry you. The lady at the grocery store asked if I'd picked out rings yet."
Jensen snorts. "She did not."
"She did! I went to high school with her daughter and she asked if I had a ring for my nice young man yet."
There's a pause. "So did you?" asks Jensen.
"Yeah," Jared admits. "Years ago, man."
"Could've told me," says Jensen, and then he gets up and goes back into the house.
"Jensen!" says Jared, following, but Jensen doesn't turn around. "Shit," he mutters.
*
He leans against the door of his room, where he knows Jensen is. He could go in, but he's not yet.
"I hope you can hear me," he says. "Because if I'm just talking to the empty hall? That's pathetic."
He takes a deep breath.
"February 17, 2010," says Jared. "That's--Dean had a sex scene. I know, I know. It happened all the time, right? But. I was--man, I was so fucking jealous. And you can tell me that's stupid. Hell, I know that's stupid. I didn't think you were going to leave me or anything. I just--I knew. That you were it, man. So, yeah, I bought a ring. But we'd been dating for, what? Six months? Just seemed, you know, soon. So I've--I was waiting, and now I'm not."
He bangs his head lightly against the door.
"I'm asking you to marry me and come out and adopt kids and hold hands in the fucking grocery store and--I don't even care. Whatever you want. I just. I love you, man."
The door opens and Jared stumbles and falls into the room.
Jensen laughs at him.
"Fuck you," says Jared, from the floor. "I was having a moment."
"With the door?" asks Jensen. "Kinky."
"I don't want to marry you anymore."
"Yeah you do. You wanna marry me. And have my babies."
"Don't even pretend you don't want kids," says Jared. "I've seen you with kids. I'm surprised you haven't grown a vagina just so you could have your own."
"That is the least romantic thing I've ever heard."
"I was being romantic! Then you made me fall over."
"I was trying to say yes," says Jensen, rolling his eyes. "I didn't know that was a load-beari--"
"You're saying yes?" asks Jared.
"Of course I'm saying yes," says Jensen. "Tool."
Jared kicks Jensen's leg so Jensen crashes down on top of him.
"Jesus! Well, now I'm not."
"Dude, no takebacks."
"You didn't tell me that before you proposed. I want a refund."
"No refunds," says Jared, and kisses him.
"So I'm stuck marrying you?" asks Jensen.
"Yeah."
"Rough deal," says Jensen.
"At least you're gonna get laid," says Jared.
Jensen sighs in a very long-suffering way. "At least there's that."
*
"I meant the kid thing, you know," says Jared.
"Mmph," says Jensen, from somewhere around his armpit.
"Hey," he says, poking Jensen. "Serious conversation here."
"It's seven a.m. and you're expecting me to come out to an interviewer in five hours," says Jensen. "I want to sleep."
"Well, I think we should adopt."
"Beautiful. Wonderful. When I'm awake."
Jared beams.

Imagine my surprise when Jensen Ackles, star of the much anticipated film Under Starlight, called me up and asked if I wanted an anything goes interview with him. An anything goes interview with one of the hottest (and most private) stars in Hollywood? Like I was going to say no to that. And, believe me, it was even better than I thought it would be. Trust me, you don't want to miss this. I'll let the transcript speak for itself.
We agreed to meet at a coffee shop in town. I was expecting something low-key and easy, just the two of us chatting. Ackles surprised me right off the bat.
JA: Hi. I think you know Jared?
TK: I don't know if we've ever met, but, yeah, by reputation, of course.
Jared Padalecki: Aww, you've heard of me? I'm flattered.
JA: It's almost like you're a real actor.
JP: B***h, you know my show was rated third last year? Third.
JA: You know my movie won an Oscar, right?
JP: For sound editing. That doesn't even count. It's not a real Oscar. It's one of those Oscars they give out so movies don't feel bad about themselves.
JA: [clears throat] Sorry, Tanya. I bet you're wondering why I'm here.
TK: Honestly, right now I'm wondering why I'm here.
JP: [laughs]
JA: [elbows Padalecki] Anyway. I know I said this was an interview, but I thought I'd just, uh. Start out with a statement and let you ask whatever you want from there.
TK: Sure, whatever works for you.
Ackles takes a long swig of coffee before continuing.
JA: I'm getting married.
TK: Congratulations! Who's the lucky girl?
JP: [raises his hand]
JA: So does this mean you're wearing the dress?
JP: You think anyone would buy me in white?
JA: You kidding? I've seen the tabloids, man, you're a slut.
JP: I would be a crime to keep this body to myself.
TK: Um. Wow.
JA: [laughs] Yeah.
TK: So you're...gay?
JA: I don't really put a lot of stock in labels.
JP: Have you seen his hair? He's totally gay.
JA: This is why I stopped doing interviews with you.
JP: Whatever, you miss me all the time.
JA: We live together.
JP: You're always filming, leaving me alone... [conspiratorially] He's the worst boyfriend, seriously. Never buys me things, never takes me out in public, never tells me he loves me...
TK: How long have the two of you...?
JP: It'll be four years in July.
TK: Why come out now?
JA: He wanted to get married.
JP: My mama was disappointed in me for all the living in sin. Plus, his biological clock is ticking. Every Christmas, man, he's all over our nieces and nephews, giving 'em piggyback rides and presents and doing puzzles...it's adorable. So if anyone knows any good adoption agencies, get my agent or something. He's not going to be young and fresh forever.
JA: [laughs] I don't know why we didn't do it sooner, actually.
JP: You're shy.
JA: F**k you.
JP: Not now, honey, we're in public.
JA: I hate you so much.
JP: See, I told you. Never tells me he loves me.
So, you heard it here first! Jensen Ackles is officially off the market, ladies, and we're losing Jared Padalecki in the process. Ackles and Padalecki costarred in the CW drama series Supernatural, which ended its run in 2010 after five seasons. Padalecki currently stars in Allowances, which runs on ABC Mondays at 9. Both Ackles and Padalecki have been placing high in eligible bachelor lists for years, but according to Padalecki's dates, the two became involved at the end of the show's fourth season. Tragic, right?
The couple currently resides in LA, and their wedding is tentatively scheduled to take place during the summer hiatus.
Sorry, girls. But, come on, aren't they the cutest?
