Admiration.
Something all of us have.
Something all of us gave.
We admire most things in life.
We admire people, nature, myths and legends.
We especially admire those close to us. Those we love. Those we couldn't live without.
We admire those who give us a reason to be better in life to help the less fortunate.
Singers, band members, presidents.
Most of the things/people we admire make us feel better as a person or as a species all together.
I admire Danneel.
She calms me. She makes me feel like a whole different person.
Even her lying here asleep next to me makes me feel lucky. Even if we are just friends.
I'm willing to do anything for her.
My hands reached over and brushed her hair behind her ear. "Wake up, Sweetness." I whisper.
"Dadd! Five more minutes!" She groaned.
I laughed.
She slowly opened her eyes. "Jensen?"
I chuckled again, winking. "Call me Daddy."
"Oh god!" She closed her eyes again.
"Can Daddy get a kiss?"
She rolled onto her stomach, giggling.
"Oh how rude!" I whine, rolling over to tickle her.
She screamed trying to wiggle away. Her laughter made my cheeks burn from my goofy smile.
She finally got free and rolled away to the other side of the bed. "That's not nice!" She giggles, pointing a finger at me.
"Pointing is rude."
"So is your face!"
"That doesn't make sense."
"Neither does you face!"
"You're adorable."
"So is your face!" She slapped a hand over her mouth.
"Why thank you."
"Hey! You cheated!" She whined.
My body found its way to hers, hovering over her small frame. "Hello, my dear."
Her lip was pulled between her teeth as her eyes flicked from my eyes to my lips.
I slowly ran my tongue over them, smirking as her hands gripped on the shirt. "Can I have a kiss?"
"Jensen, you're not being very nice.." She whispered.
"I think I'm being very nice." I winked.
"You're teasing..."
"I'm waiting for my answer."
She head slowly rose as her lips brushed past mine. She kissed my cheek before pushing at my chest, making me unwillingly fall backwards.
She straddled my lap. "I'm don't like being teased, Jensen."
"Ooo. Taking control. I like it." I grin. I grabbed her hips and flipped us once again as she giggled. "But I'm in control."
She whined, pouting her lip out. "No fair!"
I smirk, pressing my forehead to hers.
Her hand held my cheek as she smiled.
"What am I doing.." I mutter.
"Are you alright? What are you talking about."
"Yeah, Sweetness. I'm alright. Its nothing."
Her thumb ran over my cheek, softly pulling me down.
My lips pressed onto hers as she sighed in satisfaction.

The house smelled like freshly brewed coffee and newly baked muffins.
"I think we did fantastic." Danneel smiled, biting into a muffin. "So soff and wam."
I chuckled. "Do you mean soft and warm?"
She closed her eyes and let out a loud moan.
"I like the way that sounds."
Her eyes shot open as she choked out her muffin.
I laughed as her eyes widened at me.
I drank from my cup. I instantly spit it out. "Shit!"
She bursts out laughing, falling out of her chair."Oh!" *Deep breath.* "My!" *Deep breath* "God!"
"Oh be quiet." I rolled my eyes. "It was deadly!"
Soon as she sobered my, her eyes met mine. Then she looked away, her brows furrowed. "I'm starting to feel like Genevieve doesn't want me around anymore."
"Nah, Gen and Jared are just being 'match makers'." I said, using air quotes.
"Does that mean... we're together?"
I held out a hand to help her off the ground.
She stood up and wrapped her arms around me.
I stroked her hair. "We should go see what they're up to."
She nodded, brushing past me and hurrying to the door.
I sigh as she slams the door behind her.
Just great.
I followed her, grabbing my keys before shutting the door behind me.
I jumped into the car and turned it on. "Look, Danneel. I'm sorry if I-"
"Just go, Jensen."
I sighed, pulling out of my path and making my way towards Genevieve's.
This drive, fifteen minutes faster, was less confusing.
Pulling onto the gravel in front of the house, Danneel jumped out and almost sprinted to the door, struggling to unlock the door.
"You know, Sweetness, maybe if-"
I was cut of by her successfully opening the door and running inside.
I slowly made my way to the door, but stopped by Jared before I could close the door behind me.
"What the fuck did you do, Jensen?!" He shouted.
"What?"
"Why did Danneel run in here crying?"
"That's your fault, my friend."
Her reached back, attempting to punch me.
I ducked before tackling him to the ground, my fist connecting to his jaw.
His arm flew forward and caught the side of my face, making me fall off of him.
Three more punches were laid on me before the screams of the girls were heard.
I moved my head, making his fourth punch hit the ground.
He groaned out in pain as I flipped us, laying punch after punch on him.
"Jensen!"
"Jensen! Stop! Please!"
I breathlessly got up, backing away from Jared.
He coughed up red before Genevieve ran over and cradled his head.
Danneel rushed behind her, shaking as her hand gripped onto Jared's.
She backed away into the wall as I moved forward.
The quivering body of the girl before me makes my body stiffen.
"Hello, Sweetness." My body moving closer to her own.
I reached down, taking her chin in my hand, lifting it up to face me.
I swiped away her fallen tears.
I leaning in close, I whisper,
"Don't be afraid."

Danneel was talked into coming back with me so Gen could patch up Jared.
He apologized and admitted he was wrong for trying to come after me.
He apologized for trying to set me up.
Genevieve was afriad. Danneel too. Agreeing to do anything I asked, refusing to come near me.
Danneel sat in the back of the car on out way here.
And now she sits at the top of my bed, her silence deafening.
"Sweetness..."
She stiffened as I raised my hand to touch her. I pulled back.
"Baby, talk to me."
She brought her knees her her chest, fiddling with her fingers.
"I know that what I did may have... frightened you. But please don't be afraid of me.."
This time she let me place my hand on hers. I moved closer and cupped her cheek, making her look me in my eyes. "Danneel?"
She blinked.
I sighed, pulling myself up to sit next to her. "I care about you."
I laid my head on her shoulder.
I've never felt so vulnerable in my life.
"Danneel, I care about you." I repeat.
My eyes closed. My head felt like it was pounding. My chest felt so tight. "I care about you..." my voice cracked as I repeated my words another time.
I felt her body loosen up.
My body began to shake.
This is crazy... I care so much for this girl that... I feel like I'm going to cry.. but I don't cry. I'm Jensen Ackles.
I felt her hand touch my cheek.
"Danneel please..." I whisper.
Her body slowly moved, making me face her. "Jensen..." She whispered. "I think... I think that I.... Might.." She took a deep breath.
"I think I'm falling for you."
