POV: Jensen Ackles x Male Reader coming out as a straight man
It's a sunny day in New Jersey and you are a heterosexual man. Your job, an actor on a show opposite Jensen, required you to attend fan conventions. Or rather, you voluntarily did so for tens of thousands of dollars, 2 years after the show has ended.
On this day in particular, you had entered a crisis. Just the day before, on your lonesome, you had told the audience you were bisexual. And now, the Herculean task lied before you: coming out to them once again, as your authentic; heterosexual self.
But of course, this time it was different. Jensen was besides you. He gazed into your probably blue eyes. "Ready?" he whispered. "Ready," you repeated.
The crowd was bursting with energy as always. To rapturous applause, you began another vaguely sexual joke about what it was like working on the set. And then, Jensen tapped the mic. He looked in your direction. It was time.
"Guys, quiet now," he gestured to the audience. "Y/N has something to say."
They waited for you. Nervously, you opened your mouth.
"Hey, so, yesterdayā" you stopped yourself, your mouth getting dry.
"It's okay," Jensen nodded at you encouragingly.
"I need to confess to something."
"We love you no matter what!" A young voice shouted from the back of the room.
"Well, I, uh..."
Jensen walked closer to you, rubbing your shoulder. "I know exactly what he's going through," he said to the crowd. Then he looked down, gulping. When he raised his head again his eyes were red-rimmed with tears.
"It's hard, being here.. East Coast crowd. It's never easy, being questioned for who you are, or who your character is. And Y/N here is an old friend of mine. He's one of the bravest guys I know. Y/N, you don't have to do this right now, but know that we have your back."
You were getting emotional too. Adrenaline pumped through your veins. You swallowed down the nerves and decided to go for it.
"I'm straight."
The crowd was silent. You looked down, hoping to find friendly faces. The light was so bright.
Then, Jensen began a slow clap. He was fully crying now, wiping at his face, a relieved smile that will never reach his forehead. Then, hesitantly, the crowd started clapping along. Slowly it rose, until the room was thunderous.
"That's what I'm talking about!" Jensen laughed.
You giggled, teary-eyed. It was truly one of the most nerve-wracking experiences of your life. But it felt good, being heterosexual. You knew Jensen felt the same way. And isn't that what friendship is all about? Finding someone to carry your loneliness with, until it chrysalises into joy? Yes, it's true. They were both straight. Beat that, Hanya Yanagihara.
The crowd was still clapping, although some of their faces looked unsure. To lighten up the mood, you wiped away your tears and grabbed the mic again.
"To be fair, I bottomed for this guy for three years."
It was funny because you were both straight.
The audience erupted into conversations among themselves again. A girl came up to Q&A, her eyes unfocused as if she had just witnessed the burning form of God.
She tapped the mic, and coughed before speaking into it.
"Can you please tell us about any pranks? That you played? While writing your poetry?"

The screen of Jensenās iPad lights up. He rushes to answer, hurrying to place his back against the wall so no one else can see the screen, just in case.
āHey,ā his beautiful boy says, easy and breezy, a T-shirt hiding those gorgeous miles of skin. āWhereās everybody?ā
Oh fuck, oh fuck -- the code word. āRight here,ā Jensen says quickly, because even if his back is to the wall the kids are just out in the--
āTell everybody I said hi,ā his beautiful bastard of a boy says, blowing Jensen a rosy-lipped kiss, then the screen is tilting down and Jensen is looking at his young buckās long, slender finders pulling down his waistband, freeing his cock so itās on display for Jensen.
The gorgeous bastard somehow made sure to somehow stay soft this time, because the long length is lying there in his graceful palm and filling up, thickening and rising before Jensenās eyes and his empty, dry mouth.
Jared wraps his hand around himself...
...Then pulls his pants back up.
The screen is once again on the fuckerās laughing -- laughing!-- beautiful face. āGotta go, Jensen -- something urgent. Call you back,ā the sexy asshole says, blowing him a kiss and hanging up.
Jensen croaks. Heās so hard -- fuck, probably already leaking -- heās too dizzy to get up.
If the beautiful little shit doesnāt stop video-chat-flashing Jensen every few hours, Jensenās going to have to put on his face shield and his mask and go get his hands on Jared.
And fuck it out of him.
His iPad pings. A video message. āJust thought Iād lend you a... hand,ā the title says.
Okay. The beautiful little shit absolutely needs to be taught a lesson.
In a minute though. Once Jensen has managed to get up, take his iPad to his room, and come all over himself to yet another video of his beautiful boy jerking himself off.
Heās not going to lose track of his revenge this time though. Absolutely not.
even after the series ends, we still have the S15 gag reel to look forward to
at spn cons, prices (especially photo ops) will probably go down over timeĀ
SPN RPF fic will live on: theyāre all still friends, J2 are still besties living in Austin, theyāll all still have amazing social media moments to inspire SPN RPF
the search for a new fandom thatāll hook you as much as SPN did is begrudgingly exciting, as is following whatever J2M do next in their careers
buying a special edition 15-seasons box set will have so many bells & whistles, Iām so excite
thereās gonna be spn anniversary events & interviews with J2M
