The Things I'll Do For Love
~August 14~
Jared walks into the apartment with his bags in hand. He couldn’t believe his parents gave permission for him to move in with Jensen for the year since they would be going to the same college. He had met Jensen six months ago when Jensen had come to his high school theatre class to help them prepare for finals. Jared was lucky enough to be paired up with the older man. Their love had bloomed pretty quickly. Now here Jared was, dating someone four years older than him, whom he never saw for himself but he really loved it. He just hoped this worked out. He believed it would and next year, he and Jensen would move into an off campus apartment, since this was Jensen’s final year of school.
Jared dropped his bags onto the floor and grabbed Jensen by his hips, pulling the older man to him. “I can’t believe this is really happening.”
Jensen smiles when he feels Jared hands on his hips. “I know. Just you and me here. We have this place all to ourselves.” He keeps the smile on his face remembering the rules of the apartment that Jared’s parents had set without telling him first. The major one was no sex since Jared was just barely eighteen. It hadn’t been a month yet since his birthday, but by Jared’s choice, the two had slept together on his birthday. Their first time was made even more special since it was the first time either of them had had sex.
Jared grips Jensen a little harder when he sees his attention wander off. “Jens, what’s wrong?”
Jensen comes out of his thoughts when he feels Jared’s grip and then he hears his words. “Oh…nothing. Just thinking of some stuff.”
Jared just holds Jensen in his arms. “Which would be?”
“It’s nothing really.”
“Come on. What’s got you so lost in thoughts?”
“Just thinking of something’s your parents said that’s all. Nothing big.”
Jared pulls back a bit when he hears his parents mentioned. He didn’t know his parents had talked to Jensen, but it didn’t really surprise him that they had. “What did they say?”
“It’s nothing, really.”
“Jensen, please tell me.”
“No sex.”
“What they don’t know won’t hurt them.” He smirked as he said it.
“Yeah but if they found out…Jared, I wouldn’t be allowed to ever see you again.”
Jared huffs. “I hate when they do this! It’s my life! I can do anything I want with anyone I want. I had to watch them do this with my brother, but not with me. I am an adult.”
“Just barely.”
“What!” He shouted, getting angry. “Why can’t you people see I’m old enough do what ever I want?” He lets go of Jensen, grabs his bags off the floor and heads to the second bedroom, where he tosses his bags on the bed.
Jensen lets out a heavy sigh and follows Jared to the room. “It’s their saying not mine.”
Jared nods and sits down heavily on the bed. “Sorry. I just wish they would see me as grown up.”
“I know.”
“No more talking about parents okay? This is our time.”
Jensen smiles and nods. Jared pulls him down to the bed kissing him.

Jensen walked into the apartment overwhelmed. He had three papers due all on the same day. Then he had to read three chapters for a class. He hadn’t even noticed Jared was home, which wasn’t uncommon since Jared’s classes ended before his.
Jared walked out of his room when he heard Jensen come in. He could tell something was bothering him. He walked toward Jensen, asking “What’s wrong?”
Jensen jumped at Jared’s voice. “Sorry, I didn’t know you were home.”
“Well I am. So what’s wrong?”
“I swear teachers like to cram you with homework. I have three papers due by the end of the week and I have to read three chapters, which are at least twenty pages long. Each.”
Jared walks over to him and hugs him. “Ouch. How can I help you?”
“Why help me?” He asked with a smile on his face. He loved that Jared wanted to help him with it.
“Because I’m your Romeo and you’re my love. So how can I help?”
“Romeo…Save Me.”
Jared laughed. “So what can I do? Oh and like what you said.”
Jensen couldn’t help but blush. “Jared, I love the thought, but I really don’t know how.”
Jared understood. Jensen had to write the papers himself and read the chapters himself. “The laptop is all yours for the next few days.”
“Thanks, and if you need the computer just let me know and I’ll do the chapters as you work.”
Jensen sat down at the desk, where he worked all night long without interruptions. Jared knew enough to stay away from him when he was working.

~September 14~
Jared came home thrilled to have been asked to join a fraternity. He threw open the door of the apartment, which caused Jensen to look up from the desk. “Jared?”
“Oh, sorry. I just got the greatest news.”
Jensen stood up and asked, “What?”
“I was just asked to join a fraternity.”
“Oh…” The older man wasn’t very happy. He had heard a lot of bad stories.
“Just an oh? Dude, I want to do this.”
“Fine. When’s the hazing starting?”
“First week of October.”
“Fine, but say the words ‘Romeo, save me’ and I’ll have it stopped when you can’t handle anymore.” “Romeo, save me” had become their code words for when one of them needed help with school work or anything.
“Fine, but I don’t think I’ll need.”
Jensen just rolled his eyes. This was one of the times Jared’s real age was showing. Acting like nothing could hurt him.
“Don’t roll your eyes at me.”
“Then stop acting like a teen who just wants to go out and party and not care about school. That’s not you and you know it.” He storms into the bedroom they had been sharing, but they kept Jared’s stuff in the other room incase Jared’s parents came by. He lied down on the bed and heard Jared walking to the doorway. “I’m sorry.”
“Whatever.” Jensen replies, just laying there with his back facing Jared.
Jared lied down behind his boyfriend, wrapping his arms around him.
“You don’t get it. I’m not trying to rain on your parade. I just want you to be safe. That’s all. I’ve heard the horror stories alright?”
Jared smiled when heard that. “Thanks. I’m sorry I overreacted. It’s just hard to know someone really cares about me and is watching out for me. I just turn it into thinking you’re being over protective of me.”
“Jared, I don’t care what you do, but I will always worry about you because I love you.”
Jared smiled, pulling the older man closer and kissing him.

~October 5~
Jared had been sleeping in the spare bedroom. It was the week of hazing and he didn’t want anyone to know he and Jensen were involved. Jensen agreed.
Jensen woke up around three in the morning to hear noise coming from the hallway. He got up and opened the door in time to see Jared with a pillow case on his head and two guys leading him out. Jensen just sighed as he watched them. One of the men handed him an envelope. He closed the door and opened the envelope, which was an invitation to the hazing party for all the roommates of the guys being hazed. Jensen sighed again and went back to bed.
*****
Jensen got dressed for the party so he could check on Jared to make sure he was doing alright. Jensen headed out of the apartment to the fraternity house. He could hear the music a block away. He rolled his eyes when he saw the front yard full of people. “Jared.” He gets out of his car and walks into the house. He squeezed his way through the crowd and he sees Jared and the other men all dressed up like girls; from make up to wigs. They had them kneel on the floor with the other guys being hazed. “Do you guys like our pretty ladies?” The crowd cheered. “Well good. Our ladies will be having a contest. Our pretty ladies will be drinking our ladies drinks. Rules of the contest are to drink as much as you can for that round. If you get sick, you’re out. If you drink the least amount, you’re out. Let start the show. Round one drink is an Apple Martini.” They drink it. Jared got six down as time finishes. “Let’s start round two. You had something tart now something sweet. A Cosmo.” They drink, but this time they lose two ladies/guys. Jared got seven Cosmos down before time ended. He was already feeling the effects, as his head felt like it was swimming. “Here’s round three and the hardest one. Pina Colada. It’s very rich and sweet. It’s cold so drink too fast and you might get a brain freeze. You two ladies are the last. Can you out drink the other? The only way to get out is to pass out or get sick. So ladies, drink up.” Jared drank three before he couldn’t handle any more. He had been forcing the last two down. “Can’t handle any more darling?”
Jared looked up at him. “Can’t take any more?” He looked at the guy who was spinning round in circles as four of them appear.
“I don’t want any more.”
“Well you know the rules. You have to pass out or get sick to get out of the game and you haven’t done either.” He wasn’t going to let Jared off that easily.
Jensen made it through the group of people to see what was fully going on. “I think he said he did want anymore.”
The guy looked at Jensen. “You have no part in this so back off.”
Jensen walked over to him. “Yes I do when it involves my boyfriend.”
Jared couldn’t help but smile at boyfriend since it was the first time Jensen had said it that way.
“Oh lookie here, we have some love birds.” The guys laughed.
Jensen helped Jared up. He walked him out of the house. He just wanted out of there.
Jared felt someone pull him back to look at two guys from the house. “Romeo…”
Jensen heard the code word and pulls Jared back and gets him into the car, when the guys jump him. Jensen fights them off when two others come to help him out. They pin the guys. “Jen, get out of here. We’ll watch your back.” Jensen nodded, knowing they would, since they were two of his theater buddies. Jensen hopped into the car and drove back to the apartment.
*****
Jensen carried Jared to the bedroom. He laid him on the bed and covered him up. He went and locked the door in case the guy tries to come back and finish him up. He then went into the bathroom and checks out his eye, which was already turning black. His sides were already sore. He undressed and left the clothes on the floor in the bathroom. He sat in the bed, Jared cuddling up to him as he lays his head in Jensen’s lap as the older man reads. Jensen smiled when he felt Jared’s head. He laid his book down and ran his fingers in Jared hair. Jared moaned at the touch. Jensen fell asleep with Jared’s head in his lap.
*****
When Jared wakes up in the morning, he tries to focus his eyes and realizes he’s in the apartment, but he has no idea how he got there. Then he felt the banging in his head and his stomach doing somersaults. He groans as he jumps up from the bed, running to the bathroom in time to empty the contents of last night’s events in the toilet.
Jensen wakes up to Jared’s dash to the bathroom. His back was hurting from sitting up all night as he slept. “You ok in there?”
Jared appears in the doorway. “Been better. Next time just kill me.”
Jensen smirks. “Will do.” He pats the bed.
Jared comes back to bed and snuggles up to Jensen. Jensen lays down, holding Jared as they both fell back to sleep.
They sleep for a few more hours until Jensen wakes up. He slides out of the bed and heads out to get some food. Jared gets up and goes to take a shower.
Jensen comes in and places the food on the table as Jared comes out of the shower. “Hey.”
“How was the shower?”
“Felt good.”
“Good. How you feeling?”
“I’m doing ok.” He gets dressed in some sweats. He goes over to Jensen and holds him. “Thanks.”
“For what?”
Jared ghosts his finger over Jensen’s black eye. “Thanks for being there.”
“Hey, I’m your Romeo. I’ll always be there when you need me.”
“The same for me Jensen. I’m so happy I found someone who really cares for me. Someone I can trust.”
Jared leads them to the bed and lays them down. He kisses Jensen. Jared undoes Jensen jeans. He slides his hand into Jensen boxers.
“Jared.”
“I don’t care Jensen.” He kisses Jensen on the lips and trails down his neck, causing Jensen to moan.
Jensen wraps his arms around Jared as he pushes his pants off with the boxers he had on.
Jared slips into Jensen and starts riding him hard. With each thrust into Jensen, he lets out a moan.
Jensen’s body tingles with each thrust of Jared into him. He couldn’t breath. He takes in a deep breath, which caused him to cough.
Jared looks down at Jensen with concern in his eyes. “Are you alright?”
Jensen looks up at him and smiles. “I’m fine. It’s just my side.”
Jared nods and pulls up Jensen’s shirt where he sees the black and purple bruise on his ribs.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I’m fine. Really.”
“I’m so sorry I put you through all that.”
“You didn’t do that. You were doing something you wanted to and how were you to know these guys were jerks.”
Jared picks up where he left off and starts thrusting again. He thrusts until he releases into Jensen.
Jensen eyes close when he feels Jared release in to him. His whole body goes limp. Jared lies down next to Jensen and they both rest together.
