Summary: To be a parent, you have to embarrass your kids by telling embarrassing stories about their childhood to their friends. Right?
Roman and Seth were at Dean's place.
Blake had his friends Dylan and Alex with him.
They were just sitting around and talking.
Dean seemed thoughtful about something, but the sound of rattling chains pulled him out of his thoughts.
Blake and Dean looked at each other.
Moaning started happening.
"The hell is that noise?" Dylan asked.
"That noise is hell," Alex said. He had his arm around Dylan's shoulders.
"No, that's the girl that lives across the street," Dean explained.
"What?" Seth asked confused.
"At midnight on a full moon, she always rattles chains and moans under a streetlight," Blake explained.
Seth, Roman, Dylan, and Alex went to the window. They pulled the curtains apart and looked outside.
Of course, the teenage girl from across the street was in the streetlight. She was holding a chain in each hand and was rattling the largest chain against the ground. She was waving the smallest chain in a circle. She was swaying and moaning. She placed one foot forward and shook her butt. She moved her other foot forward.
The guys closed the curtains and looked back at the other two.
"I was told that she started doing that when she was ten. She said that she felt like the moon had 'called' to her to do it," Blake explained.
"It could be puberty," Dylan stated.
Dean chose to ignore that as he decided to think. "Have I ever told you about Blake's first and only tantrum?"
Blake's cheeks turned red, "Yes you did."
Dylan grabbed a pillow from the floor and threw himself on the couch. "No he didn't." He placed the pillow under him as he lied on his stomach. Alex was sitting in front of Dylan.
"He was around two," Dean started to explain. Blake just sighed and sat down next to Dylan. Dylan reached over and patted Blake's shoulder. "My mom, Aunt Christina, Blake, and I were at the store. Blake wanted a toy, demanded for it twice, and then dramatically threw himself to the floor."
Roman and Seth just looked at each other.
"How is that embarrassing?" Roman asked.
"Aunt Christina asked him if that hurt and he said yes. She asked if he was going to do that again and he said no," Dean explained. "He never threw a tantrum after that."
"That's not embarrassing," Seth replied.
Dean looked thoughtful. "It was either that story or the one where he brought a water-hose in the house on full blast."
Blake just face-palmed, "I was five."
Dylan chuckled, "Seriously? Why would you bring in a water-hose?"
"I don't know. I guess I wanted to show my mom that I knew how to turn on a water-hose," Blake said and shrugged.
"No, you actually wanted to show her that you found something." Dean explained and grabbed his ear. "How about when you purposely flooded the boys' restroom when you were in the third grade? How did you do that?"
Blake's cheeks turned red. "I don't know why I did it. I continuously flushed the urinal and it flooded the restroom."
Dylan and Alex started cracking up. Roman and Seth looked at each other.
"Interesting," Seth said. "What happened afterwards?"
"They didn't know who did it." Blake said and smiled.
Dean, Roman, and Seth looked at each other.
Dylan reached over and patted Blake's shoulder, "Good job Blake."
"He also fell asleep in the bathtub when he was in the fifth grade," Dean said.
Blake covered his face with both hands, "No I didn't."
"I have a picture," Dean said and got up. "I'll go find it." Dean ran off down the hallway and Blake followed.
"I'll throat-punch you!" Blake shouted.
Roman and Seth looked at the other two boys. Dylan was running his hand through Alex's hair.
"So, how did you meet Blake?" Roman asked.
"Blake and I were in the same class for sixth grade. My first thought was 'damn, that guy's hot,' and then I became his friend." Dylan explained, "That crush was a lost cause."
Alex snorted and grinned. He reached up and nearly jabbed Dylan in the eye, "Sorry." He found a part of Dylan's hair and twisted it.
Nyx ran down the hallway, her claws scratching on the tiled floor that looked like wood. She skidded and ran to the couch. She jumped on Dylan, who grunted.
"I meet Blake and Dylan in the seventh grade. They usually hung out near the fence at lunch. I just hung out with them and they didn't question it," Alex explained.
"I did. My first thought was 'why is this guy hanging out with us again?' I didn't say anything because Blake was happy to have a new friend," Dylan said.
"Nice," Alex replied and Dean returned. He had a 5'2, black-haired, and suicidal fourteen year old attached to his back. The two were currently fighting over a picture. Nyx ran off into the kitchen and Dean nearly stepped on the cat.
"Here, take this picture before he bites me." Dean said, giving the picture to Roman and Seth.
Roman looked at it as Blake got down from Dean's back. He ran over and tried to take the picture from Roman. Instead, Blake fell over the other couch's arm and face-planted in the cushion that's between Seth and Roman.
"That was the most epic fail that I've ever seen," Alex said. He was still playing with Dylan's hair.
Roman passed the picture to Seth who grabbed it. Blake was still face-down on the cushion. "Can you please move?"
Blake got up, "Sorry."
It just showed a younger looking Blake, arms crossed, and asleep in the bathtub. His hair was really short and Seth handed the picture to Dylan. Alex and Dylan looked at it.
"I can't see you with hair that short," Alex said.
"Your hair was that short?" Dylan asked, surprised. He looked at Blake, then the picture, and then back at Blake. "Your hair was short?"
Dean took the picture back before Blake could grab it and burn it.
A/N: My older brother Eddie brought a water-hose in the house with it on full blast.
My other older brother David once flooded the boys' bathroom because he repeatedly flushed the urinal.
My dad once fell asleep in the bathtub, we had a picture taken, but we lost it when we moved.
I got the tantrum throwing from the website Not Always Related on a post called A Fall on Deaf Ears.
I got the rattling chains and moaning from the Sonic Ghost Commercial.
