Greetings!

I hope I've tagged this right.

As best as I remember: The story I'm looking for is an au J2 in which they are at or very close to 18 years old and the world is vaguely werewolf-ish, as in there are mates and alphas and betas (I think - It's been a long time!). Jared is looking forward to going to school at Stanford. There is a party at which Jensen is supposed to give him a gift to mark their engagement, which Jared must accept to show he accepts Jensen's courtship. Jensen gives the gift to Jared and he sets it aside, which crushes Jensen and scandalizes those present. Jared does this because he wants to go to school and he thinks being mated to Jensen will ruin any chance at a career as he will have to obey his mate. I think Jared keeps the box, but doesn't open it. At the end, he and Jensen have a heart-to-heart and Jared opens the box, revealing that inside is Jensen's Stanford ID - he knew Jared wanted a career and was going to go with him, but Jared didn't give him a chance. It's a real tearjerker, but there is a hopeful ending.

Thank you!
