Chapter Text
“Are you sure she's ‘the one,’ Jensen? I mean, how long have you even knew her? A week? Even the people in romance novels take longer than that to fall in love, and you know how romance novels are.”
It's been exactly eleven days since Jensen met who he was sure his soulmate. Jensen was sure of his decision; Danneel was everything he imagined his future wife to be, thank you very much.
Jensen sent an ugly look at his best friend over his shoulder and took a sip of his beer. He was at Jared's house, having came here to talk to him about his dream girl.
Jared, who Jensen saw as a brother of his at this point, was Jensen's oldest friend. The met at high school on a school play and immediately became besties when they realized how much things in common they had. They told everything to each other, they went everywhere together, they did everything together; they were inseparable.
Though, to be fair, Jensen was regretting telling Jared about Danneel now.
“We talk every hour for 20 minutes, Jared. She. Is. The. One. She's so smart, her comebacks never fail to make me laugh; she's incredibly kind, yesterday when I was talking to her she was helping an old lady passed the street; she's extremely twisted, she's making me think about things I never thought I'd ever think about. She is someone who can make me the better me. I know this in my very heart.”
Usually, Jensen wasn't the one to get emotional over a topic so when Jared realized how serious Jensen was about this strange girl, he stopped his teasing and got also serious.
His brother was falling in love, that was obvious to Jared.
“Heh, hey, dude,” Jared put a hand on Jensen's shoulder as he sat next to him on the couch, “it's kinda obvious how far you're gone on this girl, and I hope you get what you deserve in the end. Everyone deserves love, especially a good guy like you, but promise me something here.”
Jensen turned his face to Jared when he didn't say anything more. Having Jensen's full attention now, Jared continued.
“Be sure you really know Danneel before you say the words ‘I love you’ out loud to her AND yourself. I wouldn't want to see your heart break. I care about you too much to see you sad, no matter how good you manage to look when you cry.”
A small smile graced Jensen's lips, making Jared grin. He took another sip from his beer and placed it on the coffee table next to couch before straightening up to give a bear hug to Jared, who happily hugged back.
“Thanks, Jared.” Jensen broke the hug to look Jared in the eyes, “So, what do you think I should do now? I can't just start asking personal questions out of nowhere, she might get weirded out and that's something I can't risk. And I'm not sure how she'd react to me asking her for a date when she's at the other side of America.”
“Well, knowing you, you probably started flirting with her from the moment you saw her,” Jared's smile grew when Jensen averted his eyes while somehow still managing to look smug, “and you spent at least three hours telling me about how flirtatious she is that I believe she's like that with everyone.”
“Your point?”
“My point is you need to change the way you flirt with her. Make your compliments more about things you like about her, keep saying nice things about her looks but suggest things she'd look good in combined with that she's wearing, do not compare her to other girls ever, and always remind her how much you are happy to be talking to her.”
“You think it'll work?”
Jensen's phone chose right that moment to ding, alerting them both that someone sent a message.
“Only one way to find out~” Jared's smirk would have worried Jensen had it not been for his desperate need to be together with Danneel.
Jensen got his phone in his hand and taking a deep breath, he opened his messenger.
He just hoped Jared's advice would work.
