When the coffee turns...(Jensen)
(Continuation of this happy meeting)

The look didn't fade as Fred heard what was only a partial apology if it was one at all. She looked at him a little longer before walking on. She'd lost her appetite, which was saying something. The two men who she thought were pretty special and good had turned into real asshats as she'd heard Dean call some jerk he'd had to deal with once. They had forgotten completely what it meant to be good guys. She knew that good guys didn't always have to be nice, soft, fluffy puppies, but they had turned into real jerks. And, over something completely out of either of their hands.

"It wasn't right. What you did. It wasn't right. Not that what he did was right either. What y'all said, not so much what he did. It's not like he had a choice not to put the statement out. It hurt, but you don't say things like that. You don't say things like that to people who could help you." She wasn't going to cry; she refused to cry. She wouldn't do it.

She was starting to wish she had worn a jacket because she wanted to wrap something around herself, nice and tight. She opted for her arms for a little bit as she walked. She stopped once more; a few tears were already going down her cheeks.

"You two should be friends or pleasant acquaintances because he could make things very difficult. I know you could make his life uncomfortable, too. And what you said. That last part. That was really mean. I was there. I was standing right there when you said it. You don't say things like that when people are standing there. I was okay with it, you know that? Or maybe I wasn't okay with it because they didn't think I was his girlfriend or pretty enough to get a picture with him, but that's not really the point. The point is I was okay with the mix up because he wasn't really with her. And then you go and say that. Like I wouldn't care if you would say something like that. I do." Fred just looked at him, waiting for something more than an apology possibly. She didn't how he could even start to make a difference in what was said and what she felt, but she knew that she was hurt.

Fred gave him a look. She knew that he had other ways of finding people, of looking for them.

"Do not...what's the way to say it...do not confront?" Her brows furrowed as she tried to think of the phrase she wanted. "Do not instigate? Do not initiate? Don't go doing anything. Next thing you know you'll be in jail cause the City wants you locked away instead of in a tower." She laughed softly. "You're Rapunzel."

Boy she really was trying to cover all of her bases. If he wasn't careful she'd get him to promise something so that even if he did run into Jack and the fuckwad threw the first punch Jensen would end up the bad guy.

But then she made the joke and he grinned at her, pulling on her hand so she'd stumble into him. He'd catch her of course, around her waste. "Am not."

Fred did indeed stumble, her body landing right where he wanted it apparently because there was his arm around her. She looked up at him, brows raised in question. It was nice being close to someone. Fred did like physical contact, more than most might have known. Then again, going so many years without it could have been a good reason to take what she could. She leaned a little more into him that necessary.

"Are too. You're in a tower, kept away to be safe, and you can only get up with special codes." She laughed again.

	That was...really distracting, but really nice at the same time. He slid both arms around her as he smiled down at her. "Yeah but I really don't have the hair for it." He slid one hand up her back to tug gently on the end of her hair. "You on the other hand..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Am allowed to come and go as I please because I am not locked away." Fred swatted at the hand tugging at her hair. She shifted in her lean against him to get a little more comfortable. Her hand lightly pressed at his stomach, his flat strong stomach. She squirmed slightly to get free to start walking again.

"I really am hungry." Her hunger was return. "I can come and free you." She giggled, shaking her head.

	"Yeah you really can." He all but whimpered when she stepped away from him. He sighed and went with her but kept a hold of her hand, giving it a little swing. "Okay. Let's feed you. Whatever you want. I owe you that much." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Whatever I want..." Fred looked up at him, and for a very brief moment, innocence would not be what was looking up at him. The brainy female could actually tease in ways that aren't so good clean fun. She squeezed his hand and turned to pay attention to where she was going.

"Tacos. Can always go with tacos. Or there's pancakes." Fred smiled, quite happy to think of all the food they could actually get in the City. "Oh, waffles? Fries? Hot dogs?" She could put away a good bit of food when she wanted to.

	That look on her face just about made him trip over his two feet. That was....hot! It was enough to make him miss her going through some of her menu preferences but he obviously caught some of the details. "Sooo...pancake tacos?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Hmm." Fred had to stop as she thought this one through. Pancake tacos actually sounded interesting, very interesting. She thought through how one would make a pancake taco. "Eggs, cheese, sausage all wrapped in a buttermilk pancake with a little syrupy salsa of berries?"

She was thinking through it, not sure if what she came up with was the best way to go. She paused at the curb, only to step down and cross the street without really checking to make sure the way was clear.

"Waffles are good. Chicken and waffles aren't bad, but I never quite got that one." She squeezed his fingers.

His arm was suddenly around her waist and he hauled her back to the curb just as a car horn blared out at them. Geezus!

His chest was heaving a bit with his heart hammering behind it from the adrenaline rush of keeping her from getting run over, and he didn't seem inclined to let her go just yet.

"At this rate I'm thinking we go back to the tower and order delivery. Going out in public is dangerous."

Fred didn't exactly yelp as she was pulled back. It wasn't that she didn't look; she just expected the City to keep her from getting killed. It was a little silly to think that, but that was how her brain worked. She was snuggled once more against him, her eyes narrowing at the now empty street.

"You're sounding a lot like Rapunzel. Public is okay as long as no one's trying to take pictures of you or kill you." She nodded. "Plus, delivery doesn't always get where you want it when you want it."

	"Okay but how about you let me lead the way this time when crossing a street." He smiled at her with his face right next to hers. She smelled nice. Clean, like a fresh spring in the mountains of South America he'd been near once during an op. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There was a definite shiver at how close he was, and his stubble was a little scratchy. Her hand lifted to scratch at the stubble absently. Her hand went a little further back to tug at his ear lobe playfully before she nodded ever so slightly. "You can lead the way. I guess." She sounded a little disappointed, but there was a hint of a smile as she said it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He was so tempted to snitch a kiss but after just being in trouble thought he might be pushing his luck if he did that. He behaved himself and let her go, but kept a hold of her hand. Yes, he was the type of guy who liked holding hands! Shut up! He still can blow shit up from five miles away.

"How about some regular cheeseburgers and fries?" He made sure the light was with them this time and started across the street.

"Cheeseburgers and fries are just fine." Fred wouldn't have been too upset about a kiss, but she didn't try to get one for herself. She was still a little upset with him, even if she was smiling. It was strange. Even in what she saw between Wesley and Charles, they never seemed overly upset with each other for long. Then again, the show didn't show every moment, and there were a few moments in there, weren't there? She was going to have to talk to Jack eventually.

"I have to talk to Dean about Jo. And then I need to find Sam. Think Dean misses him." Fred sighed softly. "Who knew running a detective agency could be so emotional and personal?"
