Jeff forced his face to stay impassive. Jesus, the boy had a hair trigger. Made him feel a little better about what he'd done. “Mmm,” he repeated. “The polite response when you don't want to spray oatmeal on someone.”

“Oh.” Jensen stirred his oatmeal for a moment. “How'd the meeting with the real estate agent go?”

Jeff swallowed another bite. “Not great. The house she showed me was kind of a shithole. Looked like about a dozen frat boys had been partying there. Glass in the backyard. Not a chance that I'd let my girl live there.”

Jensen winced. “No shit.”

“So, if it's okay, I might be here another day or two,” Jeff said reasonably.

“That's fine.”

“Oh, your physical therapy place called. They're coming for the first home visit, with OT and counseling around ten,” Jeff said. “Sorry, it slipped my mind.” He held his breath, waiting for the explosion. Truth be told, he'd called the rehab place whose number was on the refrigerator. They were so glad that “Jensen” had finally called to schedule an appointment that they'd agreed to come over that morning.

He felt a little bad, but Jensen obviously needed someone to help him. And if he wouldn't let his friends do it, they'd find someone he would.

Jensen gritted his teeth so hard that Jeff was half afraid he'd be spitting out pieces. “That's very nice of them,” he finally said.

“I thought so, too,” Jeff smiled sweetly. “They sound really nice.”

“They really don't have to do that,” Jensen said slowly. “Plus, I think I already have an appointment with the doctor this morning. Let me check.”

He wheeled back to the bedroom and came out with a card. “Here it is.”

Before he could bullshit, Jeff reached over and plucked it out of his hand. “Tomorrow, huh? Well that works out. Need a lift?”

Jensen's smile was about as forced as anything Jeff had ever seen. “Yeah. That would be great.”

“The OT person wants to talk to you about leasing a van or car with hand controls, btw. If you'd be interested.”

Jensen's smile became a little less forced for a moment. “That would be great.”

“Okay, then.”

Jensen glanced down. “Guess I'll go get myself a little more presentable.”

As he wheeled back to the bedroom, Jeff let out a breath he hadn't known he was holding. Step one, complete. Now he just had to figure out what the hell step two should be.

Jeff's got his work cut out for him - pretty glad he's willing to keep at it though ...

Jeff might just be in a little over his head. We shall see.

*grin*

Thanks!

I'm glad you like! Thank you!

Damn I missed 6, how did that happen????? Heads will roll. I am sure Kripke has the best of intentions, but I can see a lot of self doubt and anger in Jensen's future. I think Jeff and maybe even Jared might want to invest in a flack Jacket *g*

[beanside.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. That would be a good plan. *nod*

[lady-krystal-79.livejournal.com]

Go Jeff! Woohoo! That man is the sweetest devil I've ever come across. *purrs contentedly*

[beanside.livejournal.com]

Hee! I'm glad you liked!

[deathangelgw.livejournal.com]

Sneaky Jeff...*grins* this is so good. AND TOO SHORT!! LOL More soon, yis??

[beanside.livejournal.com]

More should be coming soon! Thanks!

Dude.

I just love that this whole conversation is an exercise in both of them pretending that what's going on isn't going on. You rock.

Elephant in the room? What elephant in the room!

Thanks, darlin!

Jeff for the win!!! Maybe it's because it's his birthday? Anyway, I'm loving this but I'm missing a bit of Jared. ♥

[beanside.livejournal.com]

No worries! Jared'll show up soon, I promise!

Thanks!

Yay more fic! I adore Jeff more and more with each chapter.

[beanside.livejournal.com]

Hee! my work here is done. *Grin* Thank you!

Go Jeff! Sneaky huh! I love that he's manipulated Jensen without making Jensen lose face and that's he's opening up Jensen's world a little at a time in ways that will make it easier in the long term. Let's hope he figures out step 2 before too long. I shall look forward to more. xx

[beanside.livejournal.com]

Oh he will! Thank you!

[1more-sickpuppy.livejournal.com]

Nice going, Jeffman. Sneaky.

[beanside.livejournal.com]

*laugh* He's like that. Thank you!

Oh... I have calm before the storm feeling. This has the potential to get a lot lot worse before it gets better.

More soon please.

[beanside.livejournal.com]

You know me so well!

*Grin* Thank you!

[avid-slacker.livejournal.com]

Such a long, steep climb.

[beanside.livejournal.com]

Yup! More to come today, I think!

Thank you!

[xenasoul.livejournal.com]

Jensen will get tired to play hard as nails eventually...
At least I hope so :)
*g*

[beanside.livejournal.com]

We shall see! Thank you!

[iyalode.livejournal.com]

Oh well done. An intriguing dance around with a skirmish or two before they actually acknowledge what's really going on here and heh, I'm looking forward to that.

[beanside.livejournal.com]

*laugh* Thank you! More coming soon!
