They should have seen it coming, Richard returning to set. The fans loved him, even if his character was minor. It was a little shocking the fan-base he gained so quickly, and yet Jared knew exactly how it had come by. There was something about the shorter man; he was a crowd pleaser. He knew just what to do, say and act to cause people to laugh or cheer or just fall over themselves to try and get closer to him.
Jared wasn’t immune to this, he was just better at hiding it then most. And by better at hiding he meant avoiding the man as much as he could.
It wasn’t that he didn’t like Richard, it was the total opposite actually. See, it all started when they had first met, Richard was this mysterious man who – even without being a total goof like Jay himself – could send anyone in a fit of laughter. There was just something about the way he chose his words, almost like he had practised them all many times before, in front of a mirror to get them just right.
Jared was also pretty sure it came naturally.
And did he mention Rich’s smile? It was so wide and volumous and so damn contagious Jared couldn’t help but smile with him – nor could anyone else. And he just seemed so untouchable, that Jared had been left in awe. Which led to their second meeting, when filming Mystery spot where he was pretty sure he fell for the shorter man, what with all those emotional scene and the up-in-your-face lines between Sam and Gabriel.
So when Gabriel was killed off – Jared had yet to express his undying love for the man – Jay thought that was it, it was over he’d never have to see Rich again and feel miserable at his lack of courage to ask him on a date. Not that Jared was chicken or anything, no, it was just hard when it came to Richard. Jared had been jealous when Misha and Matt Cohen – though, they bonded more when the conventions started – had made friends with him so easily.
Jared had though out way to get close to the man, but needed up stumbling over the words or not even attempt them. So, when they heard there was a chance Gabriel would be back on Supernatural was only fair that his heart speed up, and that he ignored Jen for a while and instead focused on the blood roaring in his veins. Then the bomb shell that it might now be Richard, but a reincarnation or maybe Gabriel’s kids… Jared may have been a little crush.
Apparently this had been a decoy, because here he was, walking on set grinning with Misha who had seemed to keep it a secret. Richard turned his way and smiled and Jared couldn’t help but smile back; it was still contagious. He walked over and Jared leaned back on his feet, fighting with his inner school girl – which was what Richard seemed to break him down too – and forced words out.
“Well, looks like the fans are going to be pleased.” He chuckled and Richard nodded, still grinning as he waved at Misha who was slipping off to go recite lines with Sebastian – there was a huge brotherly spat about to happen between Balthazar and Castiel. “So, how’d you manage to keep it a secret with Misha knowing? You know he likes to spoil him ‘minions’”
“I asked him, really nicely, not to tell, otherwise I’d tell Matt and not him…and of course it worked. Besides, keeping this from the masses, it was worth it for how they are going to explode. He, quote ‘wants to crash Tumblr again’.”
Jared chuckled and shook his head. “Yeah, that sounds like him alright.” He rubbed the back of his neck. “So, I heard you caved and got a Twitter account?”
It was Richards turn to laugh. “Yeah, there was a bunch of guys on the set of ‘Three Blind Saints’ talking about it and a bunch of my Facebook fans were begging so I finally caved, you should get one too Jay.”
Jared’s heart did not skip a beat at the nickname; that would have been cliché.
“I don’t think I’d have time.” Richard nodded and turned to walk away before pausing. “You’ve never really talked to me much, this is surprising, thanks for the welcome.” He smiled and Jared felt his cheek burn a bit.
