So apparently I'm not done. And I take requests. (J3 Hooker AU)

[rsadelle]

norwich36 wanted to see the biting from the J3 Hooker AU bunny, so I wrote a paragraph. And then she wanted more from that and had a JDM sad face icon to ask with, so I wrote that too. So if there's something you specifically want to see more of from that universe, request it here or in that post, and I'll see what I can do. My brain had two requests:

Graduation:

Jensen keeps in tenuous touch with his family. They stopped paying for college when he told them, and he tried modeling but didn't have the money or the connections and he didn't want to do porn. Hustling was better than that. He sent them a postcard with his new address when he moved in with Jeff and Jared. He sends birthday cards and Christmas cards, generic ones bought at the drugstore, not the ones they have made with pictures of the three of them and the dogs, and he calls his mom on Mother's Day. He sends them an invitation to his graduation and doesn't expect them to come.

When the ceremony is over, Jensen finds paths through all the people until he can get to where he's meeting Jeff and Jared. Jared scoops him up, actually picks him up off the fucking ground, and swings him around and kisses him, both of them laughing. When Jared puts him down, Jeff is there, and Jeff doesn't pick him up, just holds him there and kisses him even deeper than Jared did and says, "We're so proud of you."

He steps away flushed and turns so they can walk together to where they can have cake and punch with Jensen's classmates and Mac and Josh are waiting for him. Mac comes to him first and hugs him hard. Her tears splash onto his robe. Josh comes forward next and skips the handshake to go straight for a hug.

When Josh lets him go, Jensen steps back so he's between Jeff and Jared. "This is my brother and sister," he tells them, "Josh and Mac. This is Jeff and Jared," he tells Mac and Josh. "My family."

Jensen's First PT Client:

Jensen's first client is a seven-year-old girl. Jared knew a guy who knew a guy who got him the interview, at a hospital, not some private practice sports medicine place where he'd spend all his time working with wealthy clients who give themselves tennis elbow. No way he's going to do that. Jensen's going to work with real people. He needs a job that pays him something because he's going to contribute something to their household that's not his body, but really, they don't need the money, so the hospital is just about perfect.

He crouches down to put himself on the girl's level and smiles at her. "Hi, there. I'm Jensen, and we're going to have that arm working again real soon."

it's really cool that you're playing around with this again!

I'd love to see a bit more just after the graduation - maybe some more of Mac & Josh's introduction to Jeff and Jared, and actually spending some time together.

Oh, sure, pick a hard one.

The five of them walk together to the cake and punch, and then Jensen's all caught up with congratulations and introducing his classmates to his family and being introduced to theirs. Some of them already know Jeff and Jared, of course, from study sessions at the house or the occasional get-together, and a couple of them who are his friends now have been over just to hang or for parties, but no one knows Mac and Josh, and Jensen doesn't know any of their families beyond significant others, so introductions take up a lot of their time. Jared calls the restaurant to change their reservation from three to five, and Jeff gives Josh and Mac directions.

"I'm sorry," Jensen says in the car. "I know you probably had plans."

Jeff's attention is mostly on keeping them from getting killed in LA traffic, so it's Jared who leans forward from the back seat and puts his hand on Jensen's shoulder. "They'll keep." He leans forward more so he can kiss Jensen's cheek.

The maitre d' takes them to a round table. Jensen sits between Jared and Jeff, which puts him more or less across from Josh and Mac.

"So," Josh asks after the waiter takes their drink order, "how did y'all meet?"

Mac starts laughing. When Jensen gives her a look, she says, "He's been interrogating my boyfriends for years. Now it's your turn."

And Jensen gets that because that big brother protectiveness is in him somewhere, buried deep beneath his desire to protect Jared. Because Jared's the goofy one who laughs and smiles and brings Jensen and Jeff out of their bad moods, but there's a vulnerable core under it, and Jensen doesn't want Josh to hurt him.

Jared's hand covers Jensen's and Jeff's hand rests against his back. "I don't know," he says, "if Mom and Dad told you anything about me. I was a hooker. Jeff and Jared picked me up outside a club."

Jensen can almost hear Josh's teeth grinding together and Mac looks suitably shocked.

"Love at first sight," Jared murmurs, and he tightens his grip on Jensen's hand.

I really admire Jensen for being honest with them - that can't have been easy!

but then Jared's comment says it all

<3 this SO much
