[The Roof, Late Afternoon]

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec hadn't really felt the need to go to the roof in a while, largely because life had been good enough to really distract from the urge to climb tall things and knock your potted plants and porcelain Precious Moments figures off the shelves and brood about who knows what.

Today though? Today was prime brooding time.

Alec snorted derisively without moving back from the edge. "Are you kidding me?" He asked with a glance at his double, somewhat affronted at the suggestion he might be. "I could probably survive the fall, but it'd suck. I just wanted to look."

Something inside Dean relaxed a little at that answer. "Could you do me a favour and look from a little further back from the edge?" he asked.

Alec frowned at Dean over his shoulder and deliberately turned, still standing on the edge but backwards.

Dean winced again. "If you fall because you're deliberately doing the exact opposite of what I asked, there's not going to be enough 'I told you so's in the world."

"I won't fall," Alec said, apparently quite confident in his balancing abilities. "I like it here."

"Yeah, you would," Dean muttered to himself. "Look, could just just humour me and put a little distance between you and all that thin air?"

Alec took a very deliberately long step to put him back on the roof, raising his eyebrows as he turned to Dean. "Better?"

"Yeah," Dean said, relaxing with a sigh. "Thanks."

He shrugged as he turned back to look out at the sky, staying back from the edge. "Sure."
