#When one started showing me that he could do cartwheels in the car aisle I asked him to come sit down and I could draw him doing a flip.

sometimes i feel like extending the kindness you can, when you can, is the only thing there is
#two days ago on the train home from work there was a woman next to me with three very young kids.#she was trying to keep them in the seats#exasperated and tired and yelling.#trying to make a phone call as the kids swung on the handrails and did cartwheels in the train car#i wasn't trying to listen to the call but caught that somebody had died in a station.#I tried to mind my business for a few minutes;#the kids bounced around as their mom tried to wrestle them down and took a swig from a bottle of vodka in their wagon.#when there was a break in her phone call i said “this is none of my business but if you want me to keep the kids busy I can try to help.”#and she said “you're not gonna be able to. they're being real bad. but you can try.”#so I took some post-its out of my backpack and folded them tiny paper cranes#(I tried showing them how to fold cranes but they were far too young for fine motor skills.)#I stuck post-its to the seats and gave them my pens so they could scribble and draw.#I told them I'd draw them anything they wanted if they sat in the seats while I drew.#I challenged them to a breath-holding contest.#When one started showing me that he could do cartwheels in the car aisle I asked him to come sit down and I could draw him doing a flip.#All in all I think they ended up more or less in the vicinity of the seats almost all of the time and having some kind of fun -#I almost missed my stop. I gathered my pens and pencils back from the kids and picked up the post-it confetti from the floor#and when I was putting my helmet on and grabbing my bike the kids waved goodbyeand the mom looked grateful#and told the kids to all say goodbyelike clearly they were in rough times#like clearly they were in rough times#money. health. holding on#there is so much I can't give#but I can give twenty-five minutes

Excuse Me
Request: Could you maybe done one where your a fan of supernatural and you got to a con and meet Jensen and like he really likes you and he's like trying to find out who you are and idk that's all I got...
Pairing: Jensen x reader
Word Count: 1,400ish
Warnings: none
A/N: Fluffy flirty Jensen...
You finally breathed a sigh of relief when you were in the elevator heading up to your room. Today had just been one screw up after the other. Your flight was delayed for so long you could have driven there faster. Then your rental car reservation got lost in the system so you had to try and grab a taxi which took forever. By the time you got to the hotel you’d almost missed your check in.Â
You were ready to grab a shower, order some room service and head to bed early and hope that tomorrow went more smoothly. After a short trip upstairs, you found your room at the other end of the hall obviously. Fishing your hand into your pocket though, you were left empty handed.
“Oh come on,” you whined, leaning your head against the door. You just had to lose your key too?
“Excuse me,” you heard a voice you recognized but couldn’t tell from where. You lifted your head up to see a familiar looking man approaching with your keycard in hand. “I think you dropped this.”
“Thanks,” you said, trying not to let on that you knew exactly who he was and why you were staying at the hotel that weekend.
“I know it’s none of my business but are you okay?” he asked. You raised an eyebrow and he smiled. “You looked like maybe you were having a bad day.”
“Traveling can be stressful,” you said, taking the card from him. He was so much bigger in real life.
“Well I hope you’re on vacation,” he said as you began to wonder why he hadn’t dropped the nice guy thing and walked back to wherever he came from yet. “Maybe I’ll see you around tonight.”
“I was probably just going to eat in,” you said.
“Well if you decide you don’t want to eat alone, I’ll be down in the restaurant around eight,” he said, taking a step back with what you were imagining was a flirty smile.
“What?” you asked, tilting your head to the side. Was he actually...
“I’ll be at the bar if you’re interested,” he said, taking another step backwards. “Hopefully I see you there.”
“Maybe you will,” you said, watching as he spun around, humming happily to himself before slipping into a room down the hall.
You got in your room and went straight for the bathroom, splashing some cold water on your face.Â
“He was just being nice,” you said, walking over and turning on the hot water. Or at least that’s what you told yourself.
The next morning you were walking back to your room after an early run and saw Jensen exiting his room before frowning at you.
“You know when you were flirting back I thought you’d show up,” he said. He was actually disappointed?
“Sorry. I thought you were just being friendly,” you said, trying to wipe the sweat away from your face. He nodded before licking his lips and you told yourself not to stare.
“You can make it up to me and join me for breakfast,” he said. “Unless you’d rather not and I’ll leave you alone from now on.”
“I’m covered in sweat,” you said, glancing down at your body.
“Is that an excuse or a statement?” he asked, leaning against his doorframe.
“Give me fifteen minutes,” you said.Â
“You got it.”
You’d decided not to tell him why you were in town that weekend. That’d just be weird. No, you were this cool mysterious woman that hadn’t seen every episode there was of the TV show he was on. You hadn’t spent your hard earned money and taken a vacation day to go to your first con. No, you were going to be someone exciting for an hour breakfast and then avoid him for the rest of the weekend before he found out.
“So,” he said, opening his door and pulling it shut behind him when you’d knocked on it. “I realized I don’t even know your name.”
“Y/N,” you said, coming to a stop at the elevator.Â
“That’s very pretty. I’m Jensen,” he said, glancing down at you.
“That’s very pretty too,” you said back, a quiet chuckle falling from his lips.Â
“What are you in town for Y/N? Work or pleasure?” he asked as you stepped into the elevator.
“Pleasure. Just taking a long weekend away from home to relax,” you said, which was true.
“That’s good. Everyone needs a break,” he said.
“How about you? You in town on vacation?” you asked, following him out into the hall and through the lobby.
“Kind of. It’s a work thing too,” he said, turning left and slowing his pace when he realized you had a hard time keeping up with him. “I looked up a place a few blocks away, figured we could walk if you don’t mind.”
“Not at all,” you said. You made small talk as you walked and found it harder to not let it slip why you were here or that you couldn’t believe you hadn’t done something embarrassing yet.
“So my work thing kind of lasts all day but if you want to grab a late dinner-”
“We haven’t even made it through breakfast,” you said. “I’m not really a hookup type of-”
“Woah, no one said anything about that. You’re very cute is all and I’d like to spend as much time as I can with you. Assuming you don’t have plans that is,” he said.
“Not really. It’s like I said, I just came to have a relaxing weekend. Dinner...that’d be nice,” you said, opening the door to the small diner he’d pointed out.
“It’s a date then.”
You were smiling like an idiot to yourself as you were listening to the J2 panel as it started. It’d dawned on you after your second time having breakfast with Jensen that the guy actually liked you. He legitimately liked you. He hadn’t said anything about what would happen after this weekend but you hadn’t exactly been forthcoming and never expected anything more to come of it. You’d do an awkward goodbye later on but that’d be it. A nice little memory from your trip.
“You cannot do a cartwheel,” Jared teased Jensen and instantly he was out of his seat and hoping down onto the floor.Â
“Watch this,” he said, jogging back down the row as you ducked your head from your aisle seat. He didn’t seem to have seen you yet and you were grateful. “I bet I can even do two in a row.”
People whipped their heads around to watch him do one successfully in the middle but start to wobble a bit in the second before landing on his butt.
“Jensen Ackles everyone,” said Jared as Jensen groaned a bit before standing and brushing it off. But he just had to turn his head as he walked past and catch your stare. He stopped and raised an eyebrow.
“So that’s what you’ve been hiding from me,” he said with a smile before walking away. Your face was on fire but Jensen quickly got Jared and the crowd onto another subject. When the panel was over you scurried back to your room and hoped that you wouldn’t bump into him in the hall again.
The knock at your door reminded you he knew exactly where you were staying.
“Hi,” he said a little cockily when you answered the door.Â
“Go ahead and tease. I can take it. Not like this was long term or anything,” you said, looking at anything that wasn’t him.
“I don’t know about you but I’ve enjoyed our time together. I think it’s time you gave me your number,” he said, taking a step inside. “What do you say?”
“Like you would ever date a fan,” you said, grabbing on his arm to push him back out the door.
“Tell me you don’t like me and I’ll go. You’re going to have to do some pretty good convincing though to get me out of here without that number,” he said, feet planted firmly in place.
“Long distance doesn’t work,” you said.Â
“Let me prove you wrong,” he said, offering a soft smile. “By the way, I wasn’t teasing you at the panel. I was embarrassed you saw that.”
“Don’t make me regret this Ackles,” you said, grabbing your phone and handing it to him with a wide smile.
“Trust me. You won’t.”
