A/N: No disrespect to Jensen or his family. This is a work of fiction, lease regard it as such.
I was so nervous. Sure, I was in my hometown, but I was way out of my element. This wasn’t just my favorite show, Jensen was my favorite person, like, ever. I looked up to him not only as an actor but as a person, an example of what a kind, compassionate human should be. I was mere minutes away from meeting him, having waited months for this moment and it was so close – too close. I couldn’t stop shaking.
As I approached the front of the line, my heart caught in my throat. There he was. Just a matter of feet from me and I was losing it, fast. I handed my ticket to the attendant, an older woman; she ripped it in half and handed it back to me, but I dropped it. I was shaking so hard, I couldn’t get my fingers to work.
“I’m s-so s-sorry,” I stuttered, bending over to retrieve my keepsake stub.
“Honey, it’s okay. Don’t be nervous; he is a nice handsome boy, but he is still just a person,” she said knowingly, running her hand up and down my arm in an effort to provide some comfort and settle my nerves.
“But he isn’t just a person,” I whispered as I turned and closed my eyes. I was next and was trembling.
“Okay, honey, it’s your turn; it’s going to be fine,” she said quietly as she gave me a gentle push forward.
Despite my nerves, I managed to make eye contact with Jensen and he smiled wide. It did little to settle my nerves, but he didn’t hesitate and wrapped his arms right around me. He must have felt my body shaking.
“Hey, hey, it’s okay,” he whispered, looking down at me. His arms held me tighter and we both looked at the camera just in time for Chris to snap the photo.
