Chicago Con had come to an end. Sam, Dean and all the other actors waited to receive the rest of their payment. Everybody avoided talking to the brothers, who were acting too out of character. That's why they got surprised when Misha called them for a private chat. The actor was obviously upset.
- Could you explain to me what is going on? – He asked.
Sam and Dean didn't know to what exactly Misha was referring to. There were too many things going on... They looked at him puzzled. "- what do you mean?" – Sam asked.
- Why did you never tell me you had an affair? Why did you never mention that your marriages were fake? Well, actually, not even your wives knew that... They both phoned me crying. Apparently, none of you even care to answer their desperate phone calls.
The hunters looked at each other, felt embarrassed and didn't say a word. Misha was getting nervous.
- I even had to talk to your mothers on the phone! They are both freaking out! How can you be so selfish and care so little about other people's feelings? And I thought you were my friends... – he finally added and sighed.
Dean looked inside those deep blue eyes. It was impossible not to remember Castiel... Misha was hurt, and he had all the right to be. Jensen and Jared were probably his close friends. That was clear to him now.
- Let's tell him the whole truth – said the older Winchester, looking at his brother in the eye.
- Which truth? – Sam said, almost choking. Dean was crazy to think that they could really tell him everything… Then he tried to give the best excuse he could.
- Sorry Misha, we hadn't told you yet because we simply didn't have the courage... We didn't mean to hurt anyone... That was not our intention...
Misha's face was turning red. It looked like he could explode at any minute.
- You didn't have the courage?! But you had courage to get married to two women that are in love with you, and had the courage to declare your love for one another without any respect for them. You also had the courage to get them pregnant, but don't seem to care about your children. And how could you not intend to hurt anyone? I think I had never been so disappointed with two people before, two friends...
Those blue eyes were about to cry. Dean had never seen Castiel crying. That would have been too much for him...
- I'll tell the truth – He said again, in a serious tone of voice.
Before Sam could complain and say anything else, Dean continued:
- Look, dude, we are not who you think we are...
- That is clear to me now... – Misha replied disappointed, and looked down.
- No, look... We are not those actors, Jensen and Jared. We came from another dimension... – said Dean.
Sam was totally unhappy with that confession, and stared at his brother, giving him his most annoyed look. Misha seemed impatient. What else those two could say to make things even worse? Dean, however, did not feel intimidated, and proceeded with his story.
- Misha, I am Dean, and this is my brother Sam. Castiel... you know him well, right? He is a good friend... It was him who brought us here...
- And where are Jensen and Jared? – Misha asked, impatiently, only wishing to find out how far Jensen would go.
- Well, to tell you the truth, I am not so sure... – he answered – All I know is that we don't want to live their lives, we don't want to work as actors, and we don't want to be married to their wives, or raise their kids...
- So this story about being a homosexual couple is a lie?
- Yes, it's a complete lie, we are brothers.
Dean was getting emotional looking at Misha, who looked so much like Castiel. He missed him, and wished that for a moment Misha was not who he was, but was his angelic friend instead. Even though the actor was nothing but a stranger to him, it hurt to disappoint him. Sam noticed the look in his brother's eyes, and got deeply annoyed. That non planned confession could be on the way of his plans... How could Dean let his emotions take control so easily?
- Well, that's it. He told you everything – Sam added abruptly – Please, keep it to yourself. My brother obviously felt that he could not lie to Castiel... And you look a lot like Castiel...
Dean didn't complain, he knew his brother was right. For a moment he regretted telling the whole truth to a stranger.
Dean and Sam were so serious, and seemed so genuine, that Misha didn't know what to believe. His friends were good actors, they could be just playing a role. However they seemed really sincere. And they had always seemed genuine. They just couldn't be lying to everybody this entire time. They couldn't be that fake...
Misha wondered… How could he have been that blind? Jensen and Jared were not the same since the day they had attacked Fred, thinking he was Gale. The actor felt guilty for not noticing it before. He should have done something to help them.
- I'll help you – Misha said, this time with a kind expression in his face – You will need someone to help you with the paperwork for the divorce, and with breaking the contract with CW, with the management of your assets... I know a man who is very trustable and can help you with all that.
- And why would you help us? – Sam asked in disbelief.
- Well, you two look a lot like two of my best friends – Misha smiled to Dean, who blushed.
The brothers agreed to let Misha help them, as Misha guaranteed that Mr. Guttorp was totally trustable.
After finally getting the rest of their payment, they all returned to the hotel. They would be returning to Canada early on the next day, or at least that was what was planned. Sam and Dean didn't intend to run, after all it seemed like they could solve their situation in a legal way with the help of Mr. Guttorp. By "coincidence", the man lived in Chicago, and Misha guaranteed that he could talk to them at that same day.
Dr. Guttorp's phone rang nervously. As soon as he picked it up, he heard the voice of his friend Misha, almost breathless, by the other side of the line:
- Doctor, please, you must come meet me urgently... Two friends of mine had a psychiatric breakdown, and I need you to give them a doctor's note before they are forced to go back to Canada tomorrow. They can't go to work like that...
Misha knew that they were late with the filming schedule for Supernatural, and the production team wouldn't let the main characters take time off that easily. But if a competent psychiatrist gave them a sick note, they would have no other choice but let them stay for treatment. And Misha was worried with the mental health of his friends.
The Doctor lived close, and in a little more than one hour he met the boys at the hotel. Before introducing his friends to the Doctor, Misha told him everything he knew about their mental condition.
Dr. Guttorp was smart, and during a casual chat he managed to get information from the Winchester brothers, listening to everything they had to say about coming from other dimension. He also carefully asked about their childhood memories, and got extremely worried when he noticed that they only seemed to recall the lives of their characters. They talked about John Winchester with tears in their eyes. However, when the Doctor mentioned how much Jensen and Jared's mothers were desperate, all they showed was a slight compassion.
- I recommend you to stay here in the U.S.A, guys. Don't go back to Canada. You have no reason to stay around there... We can deal with the divorce paperwork here, and don't worry because you will have all the help you may need – said the Doctor – You also don't need to worry about work. I found a loophole in your contracts with CW, and you are free until the end of the eighth season.
Everybody from the production team got worried and alarmed when Dr. Guttorp told them how severe the health condition of Jensen and Jared was. They were suffering from a serious psychotic episode, and needed treatment. Filming the TV series could be really harmful for them at that particular moment, as apparently their job was one of the main causes of their condition. They would have about five months to recover until the beginning of the ninth season, when they could be re-evaluated.
Misha returned to Canada, leaving his friends on the hands of the psychiatrist. Sam and Dean were very grateful to him and Mr. Guttorp for all of their help. They rented a house right there in Chicago, in a pleasant middle class neighbourhood, and settled down as a gay couple. A happy gay couple.
Please, leave a comment! I would love to know what you are thinking about my story ;)
