tyrsibsWhere Jensen seemed to be making split-second decisions about how he was going to interact with each person as they arrived for their photo op, Jared had the exact same response for everyone who walked up to him. He hugged everyone. It was a hugging assembly line--the fan walked up, Jared enveloped her in a hug, the camera flashed, and NEXT! It was actually a beautiful thing to see.
This was my last photo op of the day, but I was feeling far from an old hand. Oddly enough, though, I really had no nervousness about hugging Jared, perhaps because my feelings towards Sam tend to be more--maternal?--than my reactions to Dean. Of course, everyone in the room was setting a warm and fuzzy example, too. So I walked up for my hug, and after the camera snap, I started to unwrap, but Chris the photographer said, "Wait". We were still kinda hugging at that point, and we stopped moving. Chris said, "your glasses glared up. Look down, not up."
I glanced up at Jared's chin and said to no one in particular, "don't look up?" While I was trying to figure out exactly how to look down so as to not cause another flare, Chris moved towards us, saying, "once second." I think even Jared was a little confused by this point, but he laughed when Chris reached up and pushed a strand of hair out of Jared's face.
"Oh, the hair?" And I was treated to a close up of his patented head-toss-hair-flip. At this point I was almost laughing, too, and somehow remembered to put my chin down for the picture. Chris said, "much better," with a smile, and I was done.
I practically broke into a skip after I got out of the room. But I contained myself.
2018: Still love this shot, and this memory!
