J2 vignette.

[layne67]

i_o_r_h_a_e_l had asked for a Paley drabble but this little vignette came out instead. Jared and Jensen during the Green Beret's presentation at the Chicago Con.

Title : Holding On
Pairing : Jared / Jensen
Rating : PG-13
Word Count : 199
Disclaimer : Fiction. Jared's thoughts only exist in my mind.


Jared knows Jensen. Sometimes he thinks that he knows Jensen better than he knows himself. And right now, he could sense that Jensen is holding back his tears, holding his emotions in check. Not that he is in much better shape himself. The honour that is given to 'Supernatural', to them, is too much to contemplate.

The Sergeant from Baghdad is still talking and the fans are screaming themselves hoarse. Jared holds the letter and the coin in his hands reverently. He sees Jensen doing the same. Jared can't help but remember Jensen's breakdown after they filmed that scene in the zombie episode. Jensen had held himself tightly in back then, until Kim yelled cut and he just took himself off, walking away from Jared and the crew. Which is exactly what he is doing right now, holding himself in. Only now there is no director to say cut, and there is no way Jensen could walk out of the room right then, away from their fans.

So Jared watches. And tries to convey as much love as possible every time he catches Jensen's eyes.

The touches and the kisses and the loving will have to come later.

Here's the shorter version of the presentation, video by saturn92103

Thank you. Jared's thoughts ( *my* thoughts, of course ) kept running in my head that I just had to get them out!

Thank you, sweets :)

Sweetheart, I meant to read this earlier, but RL intervened and I was away from home most of the day. And I forgot it until just now, so I came back quick to read it. The ficlet is lovely, full of emotion and gives me a lump in the throat and tears in my eyes. And I'm so glad you put the video here too. I'll definitely put this on tomorrows list of recs. It's wonderful.

*mewek*

*strings hands together or she will grab the computer*

Why don't you write more, Layne? It's just so full, full of emotions, Jared's emotions :), I can almost see his eyes soften trained toward Jensen, trying to soothe him in a way he can at the moment. *clutches Jensen and Jared* Oh Jensen definitely needs more comfort if only he could get that right away. *sniffs*

Which is exactly what he is doing right now, holding himself in.

That's what he's good in doing, right, including how he always manages to hold himself tightly whenever Jared hugs him.

*holds you very tight*

Have I said thanks?

♥

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, dearest Julia.

*is touched*

Btw, the other vid, the longer version one, has clearer audio. And you can really see both J&J getting all choked up.

*sighs*

I'd love to imagine Jared talking ( more than talking perhaps :DD )to Jensen after the event, the way he did when Jensen broke down after the heart-to-heart talk Sam and Dean had in 'Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things'.

Thank you again, Julia *HUGS*

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Mewek? I hope that's something good :DD

Why don't you write more, Layne?

I told you - blood, sweat and tears :D

Glad you like, dearest. And you're very welcome ♥

[tj-smartz.livejournal.com]

Your fully welcome. Dude, me too. I'm wallowing in the love and the vids and it is wonderful!

Ps *introduces self like Jared* Hi, I'm Toni!

Love you, sweetie *smooches*

[tj-smartz.livejournal.com]

Why hello Layne!

*smooches*

[i-o-r-h-a-e-l.livejournal.com]

It's WAY more than good.

*explodes - nods (Sam's way) to icon*

[mews1945.livejournal.com]

Do you have a link to the longer video? I'd love to see it.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

A lot of vids there. Scroll down to the second last one :)

[mews1945.livejournal.com]

Thank you, darling.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. I hope you can see the vids? There are a few people who said that they can't play them.

[mews1945.livejournal.com]

Darn, they won't play for me. Thanks for trying.

[mews1945.livejournal.com]

No, they won't play for me either. Probably just as well. I have to go to bed and get some sleep. Good night, sweetie.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Aww, that's too bad. It's really wonderful. Maybe you coud try clicking on it twice? That's what I did the first time the vid couldn't play.

Good night, Julia. Sleep tight!

Here's the transcript of what the soldier from Iraq was saying.

What then followed was a presentation from a soldier from Baghdad whose name I missed. “24 hours ago I was in Baghdad and now I’m back in the greatest country on earth.”
JA: Now I feel like a total idiot standing here with a Sam Winchester shirt on.
Soldier: Happy veterans day from all past and present. We have to go back next week and I wanted to say hello to you guys. SPN S1 and 2 are the most popular DVD requests from soldiers there. WB and your production company are going to send 3000 copies to them. There are some troops that haven’t been home and have seen bits of S1 and S2 and I’m Tivoing S3. I’m trying to close my ears to what you’ve been talking about here. The crew and these 2 gentlemen here are what make the show such a success. I’d also like to thank Creation Entertainment, I met them 2 years ago and had been shot in Iraq and they helped me out and we have been friends ever since. I have a letter from my boss, General Petraeus, and his boss is the President. They’re both the same so I’m going to read one. (He stumbles over Jared’s name) Every day our miltiary service members are in harm's way, they can be killed, they are constantly under pressure and stress. When they can sit and relax and watch SPN they can forget about that constant stress and pressure. Our favorite shows remind us of family, friends and home. Thanks SPN as one of the most popular shows for our service members.

Gratitude for continued support of all our service members. I’ve been a soldier for 27 years, in special forces for 17. Back in 1960 we started special forces coins. Only two ways to get one: either you become a green beret or one of them gives you one. Very seldom given to civilians. I’m just going to call you Jared and Jensen.
JP: Call me whatever you like.
Solider: Each coin is unique to each group, it’s how it identifies us. We carry them all the time, we’re never without them. My team, I’m from Texas from Odessa, we’re Team Texas. They’re the hardest 11 working men out there in uniform today. So on behalf of my team and Special Forces, I’d like to present it, your name is on it.
JA: Let’s thank him and his men and everyone in uniform for sharing the freedom that we have.
Soldier: I know most of you came to hear these young men speak instead of some old soldier. We come home and have y'alls support which we appreciate and we hear the word hero a lot. We lost 6 soldiers in Afghanistan, and 4000 killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Those are the heroes. Just a second, I’d like to invite Adam and Chris on stage. I’m very proud to call these guys friends and I have the special forces coins for these men. Creation is definitely best at what you do. I can’t hide my Texas accent. (Tries to open the boxes with the coins) You can tell you’re getting old when you can’t get it open. (JA gives a hand). Thank you very much for your time and we appreciate your support.
JA: Give us a minute. JP and I put together something for your men. Here’s a S2 boxset for you and this is kind of cool I’ve never seen one of these given out. Kim Manners’ director’s script, he keeps that in his binder, it’s his bible while he’s shooting it has all his notes in it. We’ve all signed it, the DP, all the actors. It’s not nearly what you gave us but I hope you enjoy it.

The soldier then leaves the stage.

Toni, I've just been reading the part about Dean's ring. I've wondered about that, because Jensen used to wear it ( apparrently it was his grandad's wedding ring ) and he doesn't anymore. He said he lost it? His grandad's wedding ring? ^-^

*speculates*

:DD
