Warnings: Schoomp like whoa!
AN: For the Kink meme
here Prompt:Richard moves in with Jared in a completey platonic way (what? It could happen!) But, what starts out as something simple gets a little complicated once the boys realize that they're sort of perfect for each other. <3
So it’s kind of ridiculous really... no really it is. It’s completely totally ridiculous just how perfect him and Richard fit. He hadn’t even thought twice about it when they’d moved in together, Jensen moved out, he was getting married and Richard needed a place to live now that Gabriel was in the credits full time like Cas, and Jared had this big ol’ house all to himself ever since him and Gennieve had had their huge blow out and shattered any chance they ever had of their relationship working out.
So yeah, it had seemed like a good idea, normal, nothing to really dwell on. He’d managed to share a house with Jensen for almost three years and not fall sort of pathetically in love with him. Why would he worry that might happen with Richard? Ok yeah sure, he was sort of disturbingly attracted to the guy, but he’d only realised that after they’d been living together for months. So it hadn’t factored in to the decision to have him move in. Nope, and that was what made it so troubling to Jared. He had in no way seen this coming... like at all.
It had happened though, one afternoon, he’d come home from a bastard of a day on set and was sore and hungry and tired and just wanted to eat and relax. He unfortunately had to cook and do some washing if he wanted to have anything at all other than pj’s to wear to work tomorrow. Groaning as he pushed open the front door, he steeled himself for an evening not nearly as relaxing as he wanted.
“Hey biggin’” Richard greeted when he made his way into the lounge room.
“Hey man” Jared replied, not even caring anymore about the stupid nicknames Richard always came up with for him. He found them sort of endearing really, not that he’d tell Richard that... like ever.
“Cooked you some dinner while I was makin’ mine, it’s in the oven keeping warm... oh and I did your washing that was in the washer too, couldn’t get mine done till your gigantic clothes were out of my way. How was work?” Richard smiled at Jared like he hadn’t just made his whole entire day better and then returned his attention back to the TV.
Jared simply stared at the man on his couch and realised slowly that what he and Richard had here was not a friendship like it had been with Jensen, it wasn’t two co-stars living together, it wasn’t anything so simple. It was so much more than that... all they needed was for one of them to man up and admit it. And Jared... well he was a man, Yup! So you know, he nudged himself, man up!
“Richard... I ah think one of has to man up and say something here you know?” he asked like he was making perfect sense.
Who knows maybe he was, cause Richard just smirked at him in a way that reminded him way to much of Gabriel and nodded. “Was just waiting for you to catch up Jay” he replied with a wink.
“Yeah well” Jared huffed indigent, “Could ‘a said something”
“What would be the fun in that, anyway Satch, you had to work it out all on your own like a big boy! Now that you’re there, wanna come here and kiss me or I gotta come to you?” Richard teased, but Jared could see the hunger in his eyes and he grinned before flopping on the couch and kissing the breath out of Richard.
“So this like makes you my boyfriend now huh” he joked with a grin, but they both knew he meant it.
“Yep, guess it does, you ok with that?”
“Fuck yes! Now what’d you cook me for dinner bitch?” He asked and tried to bound off the couch to the kitchen.
“Screw dinner, you can eat later” Richard demanded pulling back onto him and attacking his mouth along with other sensitive parts of his anatomy...
~*~
So yeah it was crazy, it had started out as nothing, just housemates... But he for one was seriously glad to say that it didn’t end that way...
