Jensen paced around his trailer, running his hand over his face. How could he be falling for his best friend's sister? Jensen and Kate had been spending more time together after she agreed to trust him. She still didn't tell him everything but she was a lot more honest and comfortable with him now. He had always enjoyed her company but it was becoming more than that. He couldn't help but smile when she laughed and joked with him. She would stick her tongue out at him and pout when he teased her and he couldn't get over how adorable she was.

He found himself staring at her, studying her. The way she bit her lip, how she played with her hair, the curve of her hips…he noticed it all. And it drove him crazy. Working with her on set was amazing. Sure, he and Jared goofed around all the time on set but when Kate was there, it got even crazier. She tried so hard to make it through scenes but Jensen and Jared made it incredibly hard on her. Scenes could get really intense on the show and Kate was an amazing actress. When her character was sad or upset, Jensen couldn't help but try to lighten the mood. He did everything he could to get her to break character and smile at him. She would laugh and try to glare at him, never quite succeeding. Jensen loved it.

He had been worried about her for a while. She obviously hated her previous job and he could tell she was having a rough time. She stopped answering his calls and only replied with short text messages. Now that she was acting on set with them, she seemed a lot happier. He loved watching her eyes light up when she got excited and heaven help him if he was the reason for it. She would jokingly push him away when he teased her, both of them unable to stop laughing. Sometimes, she'd laugh so hard that she would have to grab his arm to keep from falling to the ground. Eventually, she would be in tears and Jensen would pull her into a hug and she would continue to laugh into his chest. Those simple touches were the highlight to every day.

Jensen would often catch himself staring at her throughout the day. She was tiny, even if you weren't comparing her to Jared. She was only 5'3 and they teased her about it all the time. Kate would just roll her hazel eyes and say she was normal sized and the boys were just giants. However, she didn't hesitate to use their height to her advantage. Claiming she needed a different perspective, she would climb up and sit on their shoulders. Jared would laugh and run around with her holding tightly, for fear of falling to the floor. Jensen would pretend to be annoyed but Kate knew he didn't mind. In fact, he loved it. She would rest her hands on his head, gently running her fingers through his hair. He couldn't help but smile then and had to fight to not reach up and play with her hands. Sometimes, she would lean forward to look at him and poke his face. He'd reach up then and wrap his arm around her securely, pulling her off his shoulders and into his arms. She had no idea how he managed to do it but always squeaked and broke into a fit of giggles when he did. He'd look down at her, mesmerized by how happy she made him feel. She was beautiful, inside and out.

He had always known she was attractive but she was Jared's sister. He only saw her as a friend before…so what changed? Jensen didn't know. All he knew was that he couldn't get Kate out of his head and he felt guilty for that. He wanted to hold her, play with her slender fingers, stay up all night talking to her, and he wanted her to feel the same. But he could never tell her. She was Jared's little sister. He couldn't do that to his best friend but he couldn't keep it a secret either.

Jensen was pulled out of his thoughts when Jared, himself, knocked on the door and entered. "Hey, man. Have you seen Kate?"

Jensen froze. Had Jared figured it out? "No."

"Oh. Okay. Well will you let me know if you see her? I need to talk to her."

"Yeah, sure." Jared turned to leave but Jensen stopped him.

"Hey, Jared? We need to talk." Jared turned back to Jensen, confused.

"Is everything okay?"

"Yes. No…I don't know." Jensen took a shaky breath and Jared sat down next to him.

"What's going on?"

"I just…I'm sorry. I can't help it. I'm trying, I really am. I promise." Jensen started to ramble.

"Whoa. What are you talking about?"

Jensen sighed and looked down. "I like Kate…like, a lot." Jared raised his eyebrows and Jensen continued before he could say anything. "I know she's your sister, man. I'm not gonna try anything, I promise. I won't even tell her how I feel. I just feel so guilty and I can't keep this a secret from you. You're my best friend. I just needed you to know. I feel like I'm going crazy!"

"Jensen, calm down. It's okay."

"I—wait. You're not mad?"

"No, I'm not mad. J, I've known you for years. I know you don't want to hurt me or Kate. I trust you, man. But…"

"But what?"

"I think you should tell her."

"You what?!"

"I think you should go for it. Tell her how you feel." Jared paused. "You're a great guy, Jensen. I'd much rather her date you than some random guy I don't know."

"Seriously?"

"Absolutely. If you really like my sister, tell her."

Jensen thought about what Jared had said for a long time before saying anything to Kate. He was incredibly nervous to tell her, even though Jared gave him his blessing. Would she even be interested? He was probably just like a brother to her. Despite his inner turmoil, he knocked on the door to Kate's trailer during one of his breaks. She smiled when she opened the door.

"Jensen, what's up?"

"I need to talk to you." Kate noticed that Jensen looked a little…off.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I just…I just need to talk to you."

"Okay." She stepped aside. "Come on in." Kate was nervous. Why was Jensen acting so weird? Did she do something wrong?

"Kate. We've known each other for a long time, right?" She nodded, unsure of where he was going. "I uh…"

"Jensen, you're scaring me." His eyes widened.

"Sorry, I just…would you, maybe…" He took a deep breath before looking her in the eyes. "Would you like to go on a date with me?" Kate stopped breathing. Did he just? Was that real? "It's okay if you don't want to." Kate hadn't said anything and Jensen had started to panic.

"You—you want to go on a date with me?" She finally spoke and Jensen looked down and ran his hand through his hair.

"Yeah, I mean…if you want to. But if you don't, that's fine. I'm sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable, I just—"

"Jensen." He immediately stopped and sucked in a breath as she looked in his eyes. "I would love to go on a date with you."

"Really?" He looked hopeful and Kate smiled.

"Really." Jensen grinned. "But just out of curiosity, how do you think Jared will react?"

"Oh, yeah. About that…I kind of already told him." Kate raised her eyebrows. "He said he was fine with it. I was actually really surprised."

Kate grinned. "So let me get this straight...you asked him for my hand?"

"No! No, no, no, no. He's my best friend! I just didn't want to offend him!" Kate burst into laughter at his rising terror.

"Don't worry, J. I'm just teasing." Jensen relaxed. "So…where are you taking me?" she asked and Jensen laced their fingers together.

"Wherever you want, sweetheart."
