Dear Jensen,
This is it; the beginning of the rest of our lives.
Go off into a quiet corner to read this. If your dressing room is anything like mine, then chances are, it's a zoo.
“Too late for that!” Chris and a few of Jensen's other friends laugh, patting his shoulder in amusement. Jensen merely grins, continuing to read the letter to himself while Chris reads it out loud to everyone else. There's nothing in the letter that everyone doesn't already know, so he doesn't mind.
Four years ago, you walked into my life and I knew that I'd never be the same. I was thrilled when we became instant best friends; it made working in Vancouver feel a lot more like home. After what happened with Sandy, you became so much more. Being there for me during one of the hardest times in my life means more than you'll ever know.
Moving from friends to something more was very easy. You took hold of my heart and never let go.
Every morning that I wake up next to you, I fall in love all over again. When we say good morning and you whisper 'love you', my heart always skips; when you smile at me, I feel like I'm the only one in the room; when you kiss me, the entire world falls away.
Jensen's smile grows as the cacophony in the room dwindles to near-silence. All of his groomsmen are now paying close attention to Chris' reading of the letter.
You are the most wonderful man I've ever known. You go out of your way to make those around you feel important, loved and safe. You're always there when I need you; whether it's to talk or just for a hug after a tough scene. I never feel like I have to hide myself when I'm around you. You take me as I am, good and bad, loud or quiet, crazy or sane. There's nothing better than being in your arms, hearing you whisper that you love me. I feel like I can do anything as long as you're there next to me.
Green eyes begin to blur as Jensen keeps reading, one fist jammed in front of his mouth. Chris even starts getting a little choked up, if his voice is any indication.
There's no one else in the world I would rather spend the rest of my life with, Jen. Not a minute goes by that I'm not thinking of you. You mean the world to me, and I'm blessed to be the person that gets to love you, and be loved in return.
The other day, Sera asked me what I was thinking of when I had to do the emotional scene. She wondered why I got so instantly worked up, when in used to take me a little while to get the right emotion out. She was actually worried something had happened to Harley or Sadie to get me so upset. Do you know what my answer was? I told her I was thinking of how it would be to lose you.
Jensen takes a shuddering breath, tears slipping down his face unhindered as he remembers that day. Jared had walked into Jensen's trailer sobbing and, without a word, had nearly pummelled him into a tight hug. It had taken Jensen the better part of an hour to calm him down. Now he knew why.
I don't ever want to go a day without you, Jensen. My life wouldn't mean much without you in it. You've made each day better than the last and I don't want to be around if you're not here to share it with me.
I always joke that I want to go first when we get old and grey, but it's not true. I want to live an hour longer than you, so that you won't be alone when you go. I want you to know that you're loved and that I'll be right behind you.
Jensen whimpers, every muscle in his neck straining as he tries to keep the tears back to no avail. Chris' hand squeezes his shoulder and he looks up to find a bright smile and big tears in his best friend's eyes as well.
I want you to know that I look forward to forever and that I will never stop loving you.
I love you, Jensen Ross Ackles, and I will until the day I die.
Yours,
Jared.
Stifling back a sob, Jensen scrambles out of the room and across the hall into Jared's. Bursting through the door, he careens into his fiance's arms, burying his face in his neck and pressing every last tear into the warm skin.
“I love you forever. Never going to stop. Never,” Jensen whispers, the words whip-tight as he holds onto Jared like his life depends on it.
“I love you too, Jen. Forever,” Jared assures him, holding on just as tight, kisses pressing into the top of Jensen's head.
