There For One Another
Characters: Jared x Reader (platonic), mentions for Jensen and Misha
Request: Hi, sorry if this doesnt make any sense.. But could you write a JaredxReader, platonic, where the Reader plays Sam's love interest in the show, but she's like 10-15 years younger than Jared, but her character is only like 5-8 years younger than Sam? She gets a lot of crap for it so Jared has to step in and all that jazz.
Summary: Jared has always been a friend to you, nothing more than that. But when you get to play Sam Winchester’s love interests, people start speculating bad things about you and Jared, especially since you’re way younger than him.
Author’s Note: If you have any request, send them in! I need more of them haha. This is unbeta’d and any and all mistakes are all on me.
Feedback the glue that holds my writing together
The problem with playing a character that is older than you, you get a lot of hate for it. You are 21-years-old but you play a 28-year-old, and as much as you try to look that age, you have always had a baby face that made you look younger than you already were. When you came onto the show, people were skeptical about you playing Sam Winchester’s love interest. Jared was especially on edge because you were 21 while he was 36.
Jared was a sweet man and everything about him was amazing, but you didn’t see him that way. Yeah, he was handsome, and even Jensen and Misha were, but you were still so young. A family and/or a relationship was off the table for you. You just wanted to focus on your career and travel as much as you could before you hit 30.
Jensen, Jared, and Misha knew you weren’t looking for a relationship, and when your character kissed Jared’s, he always made sure you were okay with it. It was Jared you were worried about, it was the fans. Before coming onto the show, you’ve been a big fan of it. When you got the call that changed your life, you couldn’t believe you were going to be on the show playing a major role. You were so excited to be a part of the Supernatural family, however, when people started to know about you, that is when all the hate came in.
Every celebrity has to deal with hate, that isn’t what got to you. It was the fact that almost every single comment you got on Twitter and Instagram was all about how you were too young to be playing Sam’s love interest, how Jared was a pedophile for even kissing you, and things much worse. If it was hate solely about you, you wouldn’t have minded, but that fact that they dragged Jared into it, was just not okay.
