even though i'm different i still love you (boy needed!)

Aiden hurried closer, shutting the door behind him with a firm push. He only left it alone when he heard it click as the lock slid into place. Turning, he noticed Spirit open his window. It was such a normal action but it surprised him all the same as he wondered how he was supposed to be hosting but she was acting like she owned the place. Not that he was complaining or anything, he rather didn't like being the center of attention. Maybe that's just because when I am the center of attention, it is noammly me being told off for something. He groaned to himself before facing her, his eyes lingering on her body before he could stop them. Finally, Aiden pulled back control and tugged his eyes further up her body to meet her eyes.Such a beautiful sight. He couldn't help but note to himself as he walked over, leaning on the white-washed window frame, letting his eyes roam over his familiar view. "Not much to look at but I'm fine with it, it's better than nothing right?" Aiden commented, his eyes never leaving the view. A sigh escaped his open lips. "I only wish that I could get the money I need and get out of this place,you know, to just get out of the busy city life and get out into the heart of mother nature. Live there peacefully with other animals. But, I guess that might just sound really dumb, doesn't it..." Letting his voice drift off, Aiden glanced at Spirit, awaiting her answer. He suspected that she would probably agree that it was a dumb idea, after all, everyone around this part were totally against the 'pests' (aka animals).

Aiden blinked in surprise at her responce, trying to take in every word as he listened earnestly to her phrase. Not many people would have said that, and he respected her for that. He wanted to get to know her more because she seemed like an interesting person. An individual. He concluded thoughtfully, smiling to himself. It's nice to see someone who is different from everyone else. When she talked about her shack, his eyes lit up. "Oh, that sounds cool. I would have loved to be brought up in that environment! " Aiden smiled, a genuine smile that hardly appeared but when money was mentioned the corners turned downwards and his eyes drooped to gaze at the ground. His hands tightened into fists and he shuffled his feet awkwardly. Never had anyone offered to give him any money but now it was offered he couldn't help but deny it. It seemed wrong, it seemed greedy. "No, no, I'm trying to get a more permanent job. I've been 'paper boy' quite a few times and I've helped out a animal trusts whenever I can. I've gradually been saving up so I'm fine without your money. You go spend it whenever you like. Don't worry about me." His voice deepened at the end and he turned away, slumping leisurely onto his messy bed covers and burying his head into them. If only life was easier, if only I had been born into another family.

Aiden frowned and pulled himself up onto his elbows whilst holding her gaze. "Well, I don't care, I'm dealing fine with my life without getting money from someone else." He said, expressions vanishing from his face only to be replaced with a serious expression. "Besides, I've lasted this long so I can last a few more years."

OOC Oh No! Lol! xD

Aiden gasped as she dissapeared out of his window and he leaped to his feet, racing to the window ledge. Searching frantically for a life-less body at the ground below, he bellowed out a loud call. "SPIRIT! I'M SORRY! OKAY!" Aiden shouted, his voice stinging from the loud pitch of the yell but he felt good afterwards. Afterall, I am sorry that I upset her. Why can't I ever make anything work? I was only trying to not some greedy or pityful by not taking her money. I thought that was a good thing?!

Aiden yelped and stumbled back into his room, crashing itno his desk and falling against the wheely, desk chair which only made it roll around, with him slumped against it, the wheely chair bumped into something and Aiden was flung off it and crashed into the wall, groaning with pain. "Oh, my God, what the hell just happened?!" He mumbled wearily to himself, eyes blinking in confusion before finally landing on the open window. "How are you-?" Aiden started before collapsing in a fit of giggles, only able to catch his breath afetr a few minutes. "Ha, you look like Spiderman. But seriously, how are you doing that?"

Aiden shook his head, trying to clear out the throbbing pain that engulfed him before warily getting to his feet and stumbling over to his open window; glancing at all the cracks that decorated the walls of the house like a cobweb. Sighing, he shrugged, mentally groaning. "Oh, I'm not groaning at you, if that's what you're thinking. It's just my Dad, he doesn't care so much about the welfare of our house. I've always wanted him to get our house a bit more presentable but I've given up after trying for so long." But he then smiled, admiring her skill at climbing. "But you sure can climb!"

Aiden gasped as she dropped down to the ground below, appearing fine as she stood there, happy-as-larry. How could she do that? She'd surely die?! Wait, won't I die? He thought painickingly but before he knew it, he was clambering clumsily out of his window, shaking not just from the chilly breeze but also from the core of his nerves, heights had never been his thing. Well, if she can do it, I can do it. After all, what's different about us. We're both human! Then without a secound thought, Aiden swung his leg over the window ledge, watching with wide eyes as it swayed there in mid-air. Taking a deep breath and closing his eyes really tight, Aiden jumped. Nothing had felt so terrifying, one minute he was on solid ground in his bedroom and the next he was diving down, twisting and turning as he went, plummeting into the ground at who knew what speed but it sure went fast. The air whistled past him and his legs began to shake, awaiting the impact that would surely come. The force of the air and gravity flipped him upside down, all the ways you could think of until it finally held him on his side. Head facing down. His electric blue eyes could see the dusty grey pavement come to meet him and suddenly his felt sick. Some ride.

OOC Ha, happy-as-larry means very happy.

Aiden gasped as his feet touched the ground, really grateful for Spirit's help because he was fully aware of what the consequence could easily have been. Death. He nodded and followed her towards her house but only after glancing up at the height of his open window. Yep. I would have died. He thought frighteningly before shrugging it away. It made sense to practise somewhere that wouldn't hurt as much if he did fall however after the jump from his bedroom he was pretty confident. After all, any other day he wouldn't have been able to even look down that high before getting the freaky butterfly's in his stomach again with all his strained nerves. "Cool, hopefully this time I won't look like a right baby when jumping." Aiden winced, he didn't even want to know what he looked like when he came hurtling down from the fall. All the posibilities were already there in his mind. Screwed up, terrified face, tears appearing around the sides of his tigtly shut eyes, and his hair a total mess. Well, the hair thing was normal for him.

Aiden stumbled a few times, trying to get over the fact that he had actually survived the fall but quickly sped up his speed to match hers. He swiped his fingers quickly through his hair and turned towards her, cocking his head curiously at her. "Soo, what song's that?" Aiden asked casually, glancing at her now and then when he wasn't looking straight ahead. He had concluded that if he was aware of where he was going, he wouldn't trip up and embarass himself anymore.
