The road seems to open up just for them, warm and welcoming – listening to all their frustrations and laughing with all their jokes. And if it were not for the metal and tires between them, it would see every kiss and grazing touch, too. The road can lead them as far as they want to go, calming the men’s nerves with every mile driven; and usually these adventures will result with them lazily trekking over forgotten Canadian countryside until they finally decide to turn back, returning to the chaos of the stages … but this time, things don’t turn out that way.

Summary: “Jackles.” Jensen hummed as he took a bit out of his food. Misha smirks and throws a wink at Jensen. Jensen responds by poking at his side. “You’re professing your love to me.” Jensen started coughing. He wipes his mouth with a towel as he swallows the rest of his food. He looks at Jared who just shrugs. “What?” Misha handed the open script to him and pointed at the script. Jensen read it once, twice, maybe even a third time.His eyes widen comically. “Why?” Misha stared at him curiously. “Have you not seen how we look on camera?” Jensen had in fact seen how the look on camera. He tried not to. He tried to suppress whatever feelings he had, after all he was married. Happily married. It wasn’t his fault that Misha was one of the few people who still found way to amaze him every day. Or that his eyes were so intense that half the staring that happens isn’t intentional. He tried to suppress this all before, but it hurt Misha. It hurt their friendship, so Jensen hid it as best he could. He stares down at his plate, messing with his food. Jared picks up the script and looks at it as well. He smiles. “Well it’ll make the fans happy.” Misha nods. “Come on Jensen, what’s the big deal?“

It’s told through snapshots of pivotal moments beginning the day on set in 2008, and traverses milestones in their eight year dance of friendship, partnership, struggles and joys, to see how they arrived where they are today.
