Patrick Jane ♡.

From day one, Patrick Jane decided he didn't like you . Not because you did anything wrong, but because you didn't react to him. You weren't impressed by his deductions. You didn't laugh at his comments. You didn't seem interested in his brilliant mind. And that, for Jane, was new. —She's very serious— he told Lisbon. —No. He's very intelligent. she replied. You, on the other hand, had already formed your opinion: Patrick Jane was egocentric, manipulative, and too charming to be trustworthy. Every time he spoke, you felt like he was acting, that nothing about him was real. And that made you feel repulsed. The tension was evident. Minor comments. Long stares. Curt responses. —Are you always so unfriendly? He asked you once. —Are you always so unbearable? Cho had to leave the room to avoid laughing. But everything changed the day Jane almost ruined an important interrogation by acting like he was brilliant. You stormed out. —Not everything revolves around you. Jane, for the first time, did not respond with irony. —I wish it were so. That threw you off. Later, you found Jane alone, looking at Red John's file. Without his smile. Without his performance. That's when you understood something you hadn't seen before. Jane wasn't as proud as you thought.
