Comment Fic

[raeschae]

So, I woke up at 5:30 this morning with an upset stomach and starting watching The World Series of Poker on ESPN, as you do, until it was time to get ready for work. It was there that I heard this quote (I have no idea who to credit for this as I know nothing about the pro Poker circuit. I know he was wearing a hat. And sunglasses.): "Lady Luck hangs out with the guys who practice hard." So, uh, let that inspire you? I don't know, I just liked it. I was also sick, so take it for what it's worth, I guess.

A giant THANK YOU to kiwiana for the Katie/Genevieve fic she wrote me in the spn_fs_exchange, Those Nights Belong to Us. If femslash is your thing, check it out!

So, I decided to pinch hit for the spn_fs_exchange and am currently putting the finishing touches on that fic, then I'm clear until j2_afterclass in January. Well, I have a hs_bingo card to play with but it's not due until May so I'm, ya know, procrastinating.

I ♥ you guys, but I suck at holiday cards and gifts. What I can do is comment fic. Here are the stipulations:

1.) Fic will be roughly 1000 words.
2.) No pairing is off-limits.
3.) You can request more than one prompt but I can only promise one fill per person, so make sure the fic you most want to see is prompted first.
4.) Prompts can be holiday-themed but they don't have to be, unless they come from the Disclaimer 'verse.

ETA: All prompts have been filled!

Disclaimer j2 - snow. Maybe they go somewhere for snowboarding or something and there's a blizzard and they're snowed in? I dunno, I just want them and that cuddly warmth of being all tucked into a comfy bed with a pile of blankets while there's a storm outside. (And, you know, it's THEM, so I imagine sex would probably have to happen somewhere in there, unless it was, like, too cold to get naked. ;) )

The standing rule is that they stay home at Christmas and host everyone who doesn't have somewhere else to go. However, there is no standing rule about the weekend before Christmas.

So when Jensen got a call from an old college friend, telling him that he owns a remote cabin outside of Provo, just a few miles from some of the finest powder in the Northwest, it took him less than twelve hours to make arrangements with Chad and Sophia to watch out for Brayden so he could drag Jared away for a weekend of their favorite things: seclusion for Jared, snowboarding for Jared, and sex.

The visibility was virtually non-existent on the drive from the airport but they made it and managed to end up naked and contorted within minutes of locking the front door behind them. Jared's legs were wrapped around Jensen's head when the lights went out.

For a couple of California boys, Jensen thinks they made pretty quick work of bringing the wood in from the lean-to next to the cabin and starting a fire. Now, sitting side-by-side on the floor, leaning back against the couch, they're sharing a bottle of red wine Jared found in the kitchen.

“This is all very romantic,” Jensen says, his voice sarcastically deadpan.

Jared snorts and tips the bottle to his lips. “You wouldn't know romance if it bit you in the ass.”

It's not an insult – Jared could give a fuck less about romance – but it's not untrue. Still, Jensen turns toward him and runs a palm over his cheek. “You feelin' neglected, Sweetheart?”

“Yes,” Jared answers, shaking his head until Jensen's hand falls away. “Wouldn't kill you to bring me flowers once in awhile, ya know?”

“Isn't that a song?” Jensen asks, stealing the bottle back again. “'You Don't Bring Me Flowers'?”

With a shrug, Jared stretches his arms out against the couch cushions, his forearm warm against Jensen's neck. “I think so,” he answers.

“How's it go?”

Jared raises one eyebrow before saying, “I will throw myself in that fire before I confirm or deny that I know the answer to that question.”

Jensen holds the wine bottle to Jared's lips, smiling at the way he tilts his head and drinks. He licks a stray drop from the corner of Jared's mouth before he says, “You serenading me in front of a roaring fire while we drink wine is probably too gay, even for us.”

“I was reading the other day,” Jared changes the subject abruptly, his hand closing around Jensen's shoulders, his fingers drawing lazy circles against his skin.

Jensen settles back at Jared's side. “A book?”

Jared's hand stills. “No, a cereal box.” He smacks Jensen and then returns to stroking his arm. “Yes, it was a book.”

“Was it a sex book?”

“Why? You think I need tips?”

“I think you could fucking write one,” Jensen chuckles, shifting in his seat before Jared can notice his body's reaction to thoughts about Jared and sex. “So what were you reading?”

“You won't care. I'm just makin' conversation.”

Slipping his hand over Jared's thigh, Jensen presses a like to his collarbone and says, “How 'bout we don't talk?”

Jared moans, dipping his head to catch Jensen's lips in a soft kiss while his fingers wrap around Jensen's wrist. “Pass me that wine,” he says when he pulls away.

Silence falls between them and Jensen wracks his brain to figure out why in the world Jared doesn't want to have sex. The entire point of getting away together like this is to fuck as much as is humanly possible. At least, that's what Jensen's always thought.

“Somethin' wrong?” he finally asks. It kills him that he has to, that he doesn't just know. Sometimes he's used to reading Jared so clearly that not being able to feels like a stab in the gut.

“First place me and Chad had together, I think the power got shut off four times? Maybe it was five. I don't know, man. We were lucky we didn't get kicked the fuck outta there. We had no money, barely enough to eat Ramen and pay half the bills at a time. Seemed like we were always in the dark.” He chuckles, takes another drink, laces his fingers through Jensen's. “Neither of us really wanted to bring anybody home when it was like that, ya know? Didn't have the money to go out anywhere anyway. Just sat around in the dark, drinkin' and talkin'.”

He's heard a lot of stories about the early days of Jared and Chad – they both tend to get reminiscent when they drink too much – but Jensen never feels like he has the full picture. He makes assumptions based on the information Jared gives him, or the stories Chad tells, but every tale is like another piece that totally changes the image of the puzzle.

For instance, he's heard stories about the week they spent homeless, living in the back of Jared's truck. He's always just assumed that they bonded that way, forged the friendship they have today in the bed of that old pick-up. Now he can't help wondering if it was later, when they were too poor to focus on anything else, that they let each other close enough to form the brotherhood they share.

It's interesting, any new piece of Jared that he gets is, but Jensen doesn't really know how it applies. They've been together for going on seven years now and they know each other pretty well.

“Sophia came over one time when it was like that,” Jared goes on, proving once again that he will get around to the point if Jensen just shuts up and lets him talk it out. “Chad kept tryin' to take her back to his room but she wouldn't go. I thought it was weird, ya know? They weren't exactly shy about where they fucked back then. But she said that the dark was for fucking people you wanted to pretend were somebody else.” He squeezes Jensen's hand and leans heavier into his side. “It's always stuck with me.”

Opening his mouth in protest, Jensen sits back and thinks. He can't remember a single time they've had sex in the dark. Jared always turns the lights on or makes sure that the sun is shining through their windows.

“Huh,” Jensen eloquently says in realization.

When Jared leans and presses a kiss to his temple, Jensen figures something else out, too. Jared is holding his hand, kissing his head, being simply expressive in a way that he normally wouldn't be. In front of other people, Jared's touch is possessive and territorial; Jensen's not complaining, he's the same way. Under their covers at home, though, Jared instinctively reaches for Jensen's hand as soon as they tangle up to sleep. His kisses Jensen's shoulder or the back of his neck, gentle like he never is in front of anyone else.

He's always known it but, for some reason, tonight he understands that they are different together than they are with the rest of the world.

Shifting until he can lie flat with his head against Jared's thigh, Jensen stretches his legs and pulls their joined hands over his chest. “So tell me about this book you've been reading.”
