The office was stifling, that was the only word for it. And it wasn't the heat. Not only did the air conditioning work perfectly, it wasn't even a very hot day, for summer at least. No, Jensen was feeling the push of the walls and the only way to get past it was to get out before he went crazy. It was also late enough and he had everything that was screamingly urgent finished - he would never let his dad down by leaving anything unfinished - that he could leave early without anyone wondering if he was pushing his privileges as the boss.

Brendan had just finished wrapping the last sample in cellophane and labelling it when Jensen opened the door. "Hey man! I have your samples. Not too sure about the apricot ones, but the pistachio is a winner I think!" he grinned.

"I'm looking forward to trying them," Jensen smiled. He put his briefcase down. "Did I ever actually introduce myself yesterday? I can't even remember." He shook his head, moving forward with hand outstretched. "I'm Jensen."

( Hey, Jensen. Brendan )

Walking into the chocolatier, Jensen took a long, deep breath. "Oh my god, I can't believe how good that smells," he said under his breath. He smiled at the man behind the counter. "Hello, how are you today? I'm looking for some gift baskets, do you have any samples? I know you make them fresh of course."

"Hey!" Brendan grinned. "I sure do! A counter worth of samples!" He pointed to the row of baskets. "And I'm good, thanks for asking. Bit cooler today which helps. Especially working in here!"

Jensen Ackles quarter_jensen wakes Jesse Spencer nola_jesse after this night
22 February 2007, Jensen's home; Garden District, NC-17

The bright, warm sunlight stole through a crack in the curtains and woke Jensen. Coming slowly to awareness, he could feel the warmth of Jesse in his arms and a smile spread across his lips as he moved closer, his skin touching Jesse's. He loved the feel of it. The softness and strength he could feel in Jesse. Very, very gently, Jensen pressed his lips to Jesse's.
( If you were ready, I'd have you here every morning. )

Jesse Spencer nola_jesse and Jensen Ackles quarter_jensen go on a date.
University Section, Rated PG-13

"You know it's been far too long since we've done something like this," Jensen teases gently as they wait in line. His arms are around Jesse, his hands in Jesse's pockets and he's not teasing precisely, but the rubbing motions of his fingers are making the wait a little bit easier. He leans in, huffing a breath into Jesse's ear. "After the movie, I'm going to take you home and ravish you," he says.

( So, do you want buttery popcorn and chocolate to mix? )
