The busker scooted a little closer. It was loud in Manny's so the guy leaned in. He didn't smell homeless, Jensen thought. In fact, he smelled pretty nice. "I told you my name. It's Jared. So you do know me. And we've met a few times now. We've even already gone from friends to pals in the space of a few hours, so you might as well tell me your name or I'll just keep calling you 'Sweatervest'."
The busker, Jared, smiled. There was something about it. Jensen wanted to knock that smile off his face but somehow, simultaneously, there was something happening to his own face. A kind of pulling around the mouth. It didn't quite hurt, but it didn't feel natural.
"Jensen," Jensen said, because he didn't know what else to say.
