When Reality Starts to Falter (SPN AU FANFIC) Finished!

Part Five

A light tapping sound startles you awake. You suck in a deep breath. Looking around you frantically you notice that you have fallen asleep in your car again. The tapping happens once more. As you open up the door, your heart rate calms slowly. Jensen stands with a warm smile on his face and hands slightly in the air.

"Sorry," he chuckles, "I didn't mean to scare you. Just thought I'd let you know we were leaving soon."

"No," you stutter, "no, no, you didn't scare me," you force out a laugh.

"Are you ready?" he nods, gesturing over to a parked SUV.

You glance behind him at the vehicle and rub your eyes. "Yeah," you say before closing your door.

On your walk over, Jensen places his hand on the small of your back to guide you. "You can sleep on the way there if you'd like, I'll wake you. We have a long day, anyway," he says with a smile, opening the door for you.

After hopping in and finding your seat, you see Jared leaving the building and heading over your way. He's smiling and shaking hands with a few people before making his way to the vehicle, getting in through the same door. Luckily for you, Jensen chose to sit in the middle.

"He guys," Jared says, slamming the door shut behind him. "Excited for your first Supernatural convention, Y/N?"

"Huh?" you say, pulling yourself out of thought. "Uh, yeah. I am," you say without looking at him, keeping your eyes in your lap. The driver puts the car in gear to start rolling onto the main roads.

"The fans are really excited to have you on the show," Jared says softly. "Numbers have gone up a bit since your first episode aired, we're excited to see how we do after the next one," he continues. You remain silent with your thoughts. "Oh, by the way. They're going to have a lot of questions about your character's timeline, but it's important that you don't let them in on the Dean and Bell part."

"Wait, what?" you say, nearly choking on the words. Your co-stars let out small chuckles.

"You didn't know?" Jared laughs in a somewhat mocking tone.

"No!" you quietly shout, more angry with him for the way he's reacting to you rather than the apparent romance scenes you have with Jensen. He's a good looking guy, and you weren't afraid to admit that. Nor were you ashamed to say you look forward to those scenes with him, and grateful that the directors didn't have your character getting together with Sam. "I don't read ahead," you sigh.

Jensen leans himself forward, facing you and cutting Jared out of the conversation. "Hey, I don't either and I knew about it," he jokes.

You laugh softly, "well, good for you, Jay."

For the near three hours that it took to fly to California, you slept. It wasn't intentional, and you really would have rather stayed up to prepare for the convention, but the seat was undeniably more comfortable than your car. When you wake, your head is tilted to the side and leaning against something soft, yet firm.

You move your head up straight to look where you were lying, blushing at the small dribble of drool stuck on Jensen's shirt. You cover your reddening cheeks, and let out an embarrassed sigh. Jensen, looking down at you now, laughs lightly.

"Good morning, my lovely TV girlfriend," he laughs again. "Sleep well?"

"Oh my gosh, Jensen. I'm so sorry. Why didn't you say anything?" you blurt, uncovering your face to soak in the deep smile in his eyes.

"I didn't want to wake you," he shrugs. "I know you've been sleeping in your car since you got here. That can't be comfortable at all," he says with a click of his tongue and a shake of his head.
