If I Could Rearrange the Alphabet, I'd Put "U" and "I" Together



K is for Keys, from [livejournal.com profile] sarka


Jensen's key ring had seven keys on it: the key to his truck, the key to Jared's SUV, the key to his trailer; the key to Jared's trailer, the key to his apartment in LA, the key to Jared's house in Vancouver, and a key to his folks' house in Richardson.

Jared's key ring had pretty much exactly the same set of keys (trucks, trailers, houses, and his folks' place in San Antonio). He used to have two other keys, one for Sandy's condo in LA and one for Jensen's place in Vancouver, but those had both been removed within the same month and now, well. Now they had embarrassingly matching key rings.

Exchanging keys hadn't even been a big deal, really. They were good friends, closer to each other than they were to anyone else in Vancouver. It just made sense to trade keys to each others' trucks/trailers/houses after a few too many late nights of driving each other home from bars, or locking themselves out of their trailers, or having to go get the dogs or Jensen's glasses from their respective houses when filming ran way too late.

It only made sense that of course Jared would stay at Jen's apartment in LA if he wasn't with Sandy for whatever reason, rather than a hotel. And Jensen would stay at Jared's when he was too drunk or too tired or just too damn lonely to go back to a rented apartment with nothing more welcoming than a houseplant or two.

Somehow Jared lost the Lone Star doodad from his keychain and Jensen had never bothered with anything that would add bulk to his key-ring, and that was when they started getting their keys mixed up. And that was when it hit them that it was weird that it wasn't weird at all. Which was fairly normal for them, to not be weirded out by things until they noticed that they really should be. But hello; they were guys! They were too busy to notice shit like that until it smacked them in the face and they couldn't ignore it any longer.

The third time Jensen had both sets of keys in his hand and honestly couldn't identify which ones were his was when it sank in that maybe there was something going on here that wasn't quite normal. It hadn't been those weird looks that he kept getting from Jared lately, or the hugs that seemed to feel extra good, or even the awkwardness that was developing between them; it was the goddamned keys. Fourteen pieces of metal that made everything crystal-fucking-clear in Jensen's mind.

Jared came up behind him and leaned his chin on Jensen's shoulder. "Whatcha lookin' at? Uh, I think these ones are mine," he suggested, poking at one set helpfully.

Jensen nodded but still kept staring at the keys.

"Huh. They really are just about identical," Jared mused.

"Yup."

"That's..."

"Weird," Jensen nodded again.

"Huh."

They both stood, looking at the keys. The warmth of the space between their bodies grew.

Jared cocked his head to the side. Jensen heard him open his mouth to say something, pause, and close it without a word. He curled his fingers around the keys and turned around.

The look he gave Jared conveyed everything that neither of them had the words for, and he grabbed Jared by the collar of his t-shirt and tugged him down enough to bring their lips together, softly, just for a moment.

They both stepped back with matching looks of surprise.

"Oh," Jared blinked.

Jensen licked his lips. "Yeah."

YAY they finally kissed!!!!! It's funny that the keys were what made Jensen see reason, especially because of all the other times he could've realized his feelings and the boys could've gotten together.

That didn't sound coherent but I'm very tired. Off to read the next part.

It is so adorable that it took a two sets of keys for Jensen to see how he feels about Jared. I think has been my favorite installment of this series to date. The boys are so cute together in it. Its funny that Jensen finds the keys weird and not that Jared is resting his head on Jensen's shoulder and getting so close but I guess thats just Jared for you. I get so happy every time that see you have an update. Look forward to more. Off to read "L for Lips" now.

Sometimes it takes a physical object to bring it all home. ;)
