OK BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE JUSTIN GOING ON A FAMILY TRIP WITH THE JENSENS FOR THE FIRST TIME ONCE HE GETS ADOPTED
This has been sitting in my ask box for ages, and I’m finally getting to it but I need this sweetness in my life rn so let’s go
Justin has never really been on a family trip before
His mom never had the money, and her boyfriends wouldn’t have brought Justin on a trip if they won the freakin lottery
So when the Jensens find this out, naturally, they think it would be the perfect surprise gift to celebrate Justin’s adoption
The morning after he gets adopted, Lainie, Matt, and yes, even Clay, wake up early to make breakfast
When they finish, they go to wake up Justin by singing a very off tune version of “A Whole New World”
He wakes up very confused but also very happy
When they serve breakfast, they give Justin his plate of blueberry pancakes last because they shaped his to have Mickey Mouse ears
Lainie is recording the whole thing on her cellphone
Clay is trying not to die of embarrassment over how corny his family is
When Justin looks at the pancakes, he doesn’t really catch on
“These are really good!” “Justin, do you know what it’s shaped like?” “Uhhhh…”
By the time Justin finally figures out they’re going to Disney World, he just gets a look of ‘ohhhh’ on his face before his eyes light up like he’s five years old again
Justin gets so excited the week leading up to it he can’t stop singing Disney songs and jumping around “WE’RE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD” “Yes we’re going to Disney World, now would you please fold your laundry?”
When they finally board the plane, Justin gets a little nervous
He has the window seat with Clay next to him (Lainie and Matt are across the row) and his leg won’t stop bouncing
“Are you nervous or excited? I can’t tell at this point”
“I’ve never ridden a plane before”
“Oh yeah…well…it’ll be fine. Just like, close your eyes or something.”
Justin rolls his eyes. “Thanks for the expert advice, Jensen.”
“You know, your last name is Jensen too now.”
“Yeah well just because we’re brothers now doesn’t mean I’m going to stop calling you Jensen, Jensen.”
When they finally walk into Magic Kingdom for the first time, Justin tears up, but if you ask him, he’ll totally deny it
(Clay will never let him live it down – “You cried because you saw Cinderella’s castle! You’re seventeen freakin’ years old!”)
Lainie insists on taking lots and lots of pictures
Every ride they do, every cool thing they eat, every landmark, even by the goddamn toilets, you could hear “This looks like a great opportunity for a family picture!” *chorus of groaning*
Matt loves Epcot and trying out all the different food from around the world
Clay is actually living for the new Star Wars area
He can’t stop rambling facts about the series every twenty seconds
He takes pictures with all the characters
When they meet the princesses, Justin blushes the deepest red in the world when Belle asks him if he thinks he would make a good prince
He just stammers out, “I- uh-uh- y-yeah. I- yeah.”
“Shut up, asshole. She was always my favorite when I was younger, okay?”
Lainie insists they go on all the classic rides at least once, including “It’s a Small World” which Matt thinks is a pretty pointless and obnoxious ride
Matt ends up talking to another family while they’re waiting in line
Matt is definitely one of those dads who will just casually strike up really long conversations with strangers
He introduces Clay and Justin as his sons, and he says it with such pride, Justin’s heart catches in his throat
He’s never been addressed as someone’s son in that way before, not even by his mom
It hits him all at once how lucky he is to have finally be a part of a family that loves and cares about him so much
Somewhere in the background, “Go the Distance” is playing
And Justin gives his new family a giant random group hug with the Hercules’ lyrics echoing around his mind, “I know every mile will be worth my while. I would go most anywhere to find where I belong.”
He couldn’t help feeling like every mile was worth it, standing here, with his newfound family in Disney World
Yeah, it was definitely called the happiest place on Earth for a reason
