Inspired by this.
I didn't know why we had to move. It was stupid, and I told them as much. The entirety of my ten year long life had been uprooted and my parents expected me to be happy about it? No way. I'd sulked the whole way to the new house and after we arrived I tried to hide in the moving truck so that the moving men would accidentally take me back home. They didn't. Mom found me.
"How do you know it's going to be bad when you haven't given it a chance?" she asked and I just groaned and slumped upstairs where "my" room was. Sammy was there, but I shooed him out and slammed the door shut. Sammy had been excited to move but he was only six so what did he know.
I took in my new room. There wasn't much in it yet, a bed, and a wardrobe, and a writing desk in front of the window. The window was slightly ajar and I climbed on the desk to pull it open completely. The neighbor's house was very close to ours and when I looked down I noticed that under my window was a small ledge type part I could stand on. There was also one on the other house, and I could easily step over the small gap between them. The distance down wasn't too bad either, although it was the second floor so I had no intention of jumping down. Maybe if I attached a ladder to the side, I could escape...
"Who are you?"
I looked up at the sound and I noticed another kid in the other house's window. I blinked a few times before throwing my legs over the windowsill and dropping down on the ledge. In a few long steps I was at his window and he took a step back when I leaned through. He had a nice room, it was clean and there were plenty of toys but also books and his bed was really big.
"Nice room," I said and he muttered a small thanks. "'m Dean. What's your name?"
"Castiel," he said.
"That's a funny name. I'm gonna call you Cas," I said and grinned. He frowned a bit but said nothing. Then he came back to the window and peeked out. We could see the moving trucks in front of the house, but only partly.
"Are you my new neighbor? Father said there would be new neighbors this week," Cas asked and looked back at me. I nodded.
"Yup. Me and Sammy and mom and dad. Do you wanna see my room?" I asked and he nodded. "Cool. There isn't much there, but maybe you can help me put all my toys in place."
I was at my own window when I realized Cas hadn't followed.
"What're you waiting for? Come on now." I stepped back to his ledge. He was sitting on the windowsill and looked very uncertain. "It's ok, you won't fall. Here, you can hold my hand." I extended my hand at him and he looked at it, before reaching out and dropping on the ledge. He squeezed my hand tight and I smiled reassuringly as we closed the distance between the windows. I gave him a boost up through my window and he pulled me up after that. Then I pulled him by the hand downstairs where I informed mom that this is Cas, he lives next door and he came to help me unpack my room.
Mom smiled and said "I'm happy you decided to give it a chance," before showing us which boxes were to go in my room. Sammy came to help us too, and he really seemed to like Cas, and after we were finished with my room we helped with Sammy's room as well. Then Cas's mom came over to welcome us to the neighborhood and was very surprised, although happy when he found Cas from the living room.
Cas did leave with his mom, but later that evening I saw him in his window and we climbed on the ledges again and talked for hours. And it wasn't the last time.

Hahaaaa, I don't know. Nothing happens in my life so I thought I'd write a short story but then it turned into SPN because I have feels about that. THREE MORE EPISODES!!! I can't. Goodbye.
Pie out.
