More Than Neighbors (ONE)
Warnings: Detailed smut, Fluff, Low self esteem
Summary: Growing up with little money and not having much was hard for you and your family. You would work 3 jobs at 17 to provide for your family and yourself. 3 Years later your uncle decided to step in and buy you a house in Austin, Texas. Your parents got jobs, you went to college...and you met the love of your life.
"Y/N, you're gonna be late for your interview!" Your mother yelled from downstairs.
"I know mom! I'm leaving now!" You yelled back. You had your first job interview today and already you were gonna be late, that was really gonna put an impression on them. You ran downstairs and grabbed your keys, rushing out the door. You quickly got into the car and buckled up. You took a deep breath before driving off to what you were hoping was your new job. You applied for a small diner that was right down the street from your house which was good because sometimes you had to walk.
Sometimes your neighbor Jensen was nice enough to drive you, you didn't really have your own car yet, but your mother let you use hers from time to time. Once you got the money you needed you were gonna buy yourself your own apartment and your own car. You hated how you were 20 years old and still living with your parents, your uncle was paying for college so that you could get an education. You just wanted to be able to help someone out for once instead of being the one that's helped. You wanted to do something for your parents, after all, they have done for you.
You may have been the one paying bills for a small house at a young age but they still did everything they could to help. They had jobs, but only made a small amount of money so any money that they had either went to bills or food. You wanted to give them things that they couldn't have while living the way you used to so you began to get yourself together and help out even more. You pulled up to the diner and parked your car. You shut the car off and took a deep breath "Here goes nothing".
The interview went better than expected and the manager was a very sweet guy who seemed to enjoy you being there. You smiled while walking back out to the car, you got in and buckled up. You started the car and pulled out of the parking lot, driving back home. You turned on the radio and started to sing along to whatever song was playing, you were in a great mood. You had a good feeling about this job, a very good feeling. You pulled into the driveway of your home and got out of the car.
You walked inside an empty house, you swore you saw your dad's car in the driveway so you were confused on why no one was home "Mom, Dad!" You called out, but still no answer. You shrugged it off and went upstairs to change your clothes. You changed into a simple tank top and some shorts, you walked downstairs and into the kitchen, seeing your neighbor, Jensen. He looked at you and smiled "Hey Y/N, your mom asked me to come over and fix your dishwasher, your parents left about 10 minutes ago" He said.
"Oh, okay" You smiled and walked over to the refrigerator, you couldn't help but just stare at Jensen, you always had a thing for him, since the day you moved in. He was always so nice to you, sometimes even flirty, but you were sure he was just joking around. There was a moment that you two got very close, but it didn't go farther than hugging, which you wish it did.
You had been living in Texas for a few months now and gotten to know your neighbors very well, especially Jensen. He was living with his wife Danneel when you guys first moved in but lately, they have been arguing a whole lot. Jensen had come home from Vancouver to find Danneel cheating on him. He had become good friends with your parents so when he didn't have his other friends around he came to them for support, but the night he caught her it was only you that was home.
Jensen and Danneel were very loud when they argued so you could hear them. You never liked her, she was only there for his money and you knew it. The way she treated him was horrible and sometimes you wish you could just go over there and tell her off, but you couldn't. There was a knock at your door and paused the television and got up. You went to the door and opened it slowly to see Jensen, he had red puffy eyes and he looked defeated. He didn't even speak he just hugged you.
At first, you were shocked and confused but, you hugged him back. That's when the feelings started to develop, you shut the door and rubbed his back "Mr. Ackles are you okay?" You asked him and he looked at you, tears still falling from his eyes "I-I just need someone to talk to...are your parents home?" You shook your head and he went back to hugging you. You pulled away and walked over to the couch with him, you sat down and grabbed his hand.
"You can talk to me" You smiled. Jensen looked down and had his head in his hands, he looked back up at you, he wanted to tell you everything because at this moment he trusted you for some reason. "I just caught Danneel cheating on me....she tried to play the victim and turn it all on me, but that just turned it into a huge argument. She fucked another guy in my house, in my bed, while our kids were downstairs just waiting for me to come home... I wanted to come home to my wife and kids, just have a good night" He smiled weakly "But instead I come home to her fucking some other guy, she took the kids and she left...she said she would talk to me in a few days" He broke down again.
You hugged him again and he hugged you back tightly. You sighed and rubbed his back "It'll be okay Mr. Ackles, I promise" He didn't say anything he just stayed hugging you. That whole night you stayed by his side, comforting him as he needed. He ended up staying with you guys for a few nights before he was ready to go back home.
"So...did my parents say where they were going?" You asked him.
"Uh, no actually....they just said they'd be out for a few hours, you need something?" Jensen stopped what he was doing and looked at you.
"Erm..no, I was just wondering" You said, grabbing a soda.
He nodded and continued fixing up the dishwasher. You walked into your living room and sat down on the couch. You grabbed the remote and turned on the television. You started to scroll through Netflix and clicked on a random movie. You laid back on the couch and paid attention to the television. Moments later Jensen finished up and walked over to you, he sat down. He looked at you and smiled "What are you watching?"
"Why're you so obsessed with Spider-Man?" He chuckled.
"Because Tom Holland is hot" You giggled.
"I'm hotter" He chuckled.
Your cheeks went bright red, you looked down and tried to hide it, but he noticed "You don't have to hide that blush from me, it's cute" He said and that made you blush even more. This man was literally going to be the death of you. He was a grown-ass man who always had to be so damn adorable.
Jensen ended up staying and watching a few more movies with you before he left and your parents came back. Your mom and dad walked through the front door with smiles on their face, they saw you on the couch and smiled brightly "Hey Y/N, how did the interview go?" Your mother asked.
"I actually think it went very well, I think I'm gonna get the job. The manager said I'd get a call in a few days" You smiled and your mother ran over to you and hugged you tightly.
"That's great sweetie!" Your mother smiled brightly "I know you want to focus on music, but until you actually get somewhere with it this will be good for you" She said.
Your mother smiled and went into the kitchen, she began to make dinner. She was making a bigger dinner than usual which was only for when you had other people over. You paused your Netflix movie and walked into the kitchen. You walked up behind her and smiled "Mom? Are we having company?" You asked her.
"We are, as a thank you to Jensen for fixing our dishwasher because we're old and don't know what the hell to do, we're inviting him for dinner" She smiled and continued to cook, she even made her brownies. You giggled "Oh, so what time?" You asked.
"Like 7: 30? It's 5 right now so, you got 2 hours to make yourself look pretty for him" She smirked and winked. Your mother was the only one that knew about your thing for Jensen. Your mother always teased you about it and always said how you should just ask him out, but you were never going to be able to do that, half the time you can't even speak to him.
"God, mom please don't do this tonight.." You sighed and ran a hand down your face.
"You know I'm only teasing, but you really need to ask him out. This crush thing is gonna kill you" She said.
"Then let it, mom" You said. You walked upstairs to your bedroom and searched through your closet. You found a simple black dress and chose that to be your dinner outfit, you also decided to put on some very light makeup. You wanted to look good for him, even though in your head you were thinking about how you guys would never actually be an item.
You sat around for a few hours and soon the time for dinner came and you got yourself ready. You put on your dress and smoothed it down, you brushed your hair out and let it fall to your shoulders and you looked into the mirror. "Don't make a fool of yourself Y/N" You said to yourself as you walked downstairs and there you saw him, for the second time today. He took your breath away.
