Jensen looks at his watch. They're going to be late, but Steve doesn't seem to care. Not with the way he's taking his time getting dressed. Exhaling loudly, Jensen looks at his watch again. He hates being late. A soft sound has him looking up as Steve strolls in, barefoot and hair still wet from his shower.

"S'up," Steve says, and smiles that little boy smile of his that works on everyone Jensen's ever met. Including him. It always has.

"Nothing," Jensen says, and winces inside at the irritation in his voice. His eyes flick to his watch again, and he feels the frown form between his eyebrows. Five minutes, man.

"Hey, now," Steve murmurs in that slow drawling way he has of speaking. Warm, calloused fingertips slide along Jensen's forearm, turn it over to get at the buckle of the watch. There's no fumbling as he undoes the buckle, slides the leather strap off Jensen's wrist. "None of that."

"But..." Jensen just watches as Steve tosses the watch on the sofa.

"Relax, Jen. We got time." There's that smile again, and Jensen can't help but respond to it, smiling in return. "It's all about living in the moment, man."
