send me a prompt! anon said: how about a Winchesters' childhood story where they move into a house with a ghost in it, and the ghost talks to Sam and he becomes close with it, but then Dean starts showing Sam lot of attention and the ghost starts badmouthing him and asking Sam to hurt him.

Sam giggles when his friend starts tickling him, little cold fingers trying to reach any inch of his belly. Dad isn’t home tonight-- he’s working again or something, and Dean is in his room doing ‘teenager stuff’. Sam doesn’t want to know what that truly means, but for him it means he’ll have a lot of free time to play with Max today. He’s cool with that.

Sam doesn’t like it when Dad says Max’s just an imaginary friend. Max is real! They play together all the time! He doesn’t know why Dad can’t see him, nor Dean-- but Max is real and they’re best friends and that’s fine because he has a friend only to himself, just like Sully. Sometimes Sam misses Sully-- but it’s different this time, because Max isn’t like Sully.

“Hey, wanna see something real cool today?” Max asks after Sam stopped laughing and had enough time to catch his breath. “I found this thing--”

But the younger boy doesn’t finish his sentence, because Dean is suddenly in the room, messing Sam’s hair playfully and smiling at his little brother. It’s good to have Dean around-- he’s funny and nice and Sam wishes he could see Max too, because they all would have so much fun together! Well, at least Sam thinks so.

“Hey, short stuff.” Dean smiles a bit more, adjusting the old leather jacket around his body. He’s going out and Sam wonders if he’s meeting with some random chick he’s just met. “Dad called. He’s going to be a few weeks late.”

“Okay.” Sam shrugs. It won’t be the first time Dad’s taking a long time to come back, but for the first time Sam wishes he’d take a bit longer. He doesn’t want to move again. He can worry about this later. Dean is grabbing his keys and almost reaching the door. “Where are you going?”

“I need to buy some stuff. Wanna tag along?”

Sam stares at Max for a second, wondering if this things he’s found will be more interesting than going into town-- but his friend isn’t paying attention to him. Max is staring at Dean and he has this really weird expression on his face, bordering on creepy. Sam frowns. It’s not the first time Max acts weird around Dean, but Sam can’t really understand it. Dean is cool-- he believes Sam.

“Nah. Max’s going to show me something nice.” Sam says, and Max just nods softly, still eyeing Dean.

“Okay. You guys behave and don’t leave the house. I’ll be back soon.”

“I don’t like him.” Max says suddenly after Dean leaves. “I really don’t like him.”

Sam just shrugs, because he doesn’t know how to respond that. Dean is his big brother, his best friend and he loves the guy. Maybe Max is just upset because Dean can’t see him like Sam-- but he’s not going to think about it right now, because Max is grabbing his hand and pulling him up and then upstairs, towards an old room they don’t use a lot.

There are some broken toys inside a box Sam’s never seen before. Well, the house is huge and there are a lot of things that belonged to the previous owner, and Sam wonders if they’ll ever get rid of it but maybe they won’t, because it’s not like they’re staying here forever. It makes his mood drop quickly, and Max stares at him as if asking what’s wrong.

“I’m just... we’ll be moving when Dad comes home and I don’t want to.”

“You can stay here with me.” Max just shrugs, blue eyes shining in a very strange way. “They don’t care about you. I do.”

“Dean cares about me, a lot.” Sam frowns. Maybe Dad doesn’t really care too much, always in the road and working, but Dean is always around taking care of him and making sure he’s happy and healthy. “We’re best friends.”

“That’s why he keeps lying to you? All the time? He’s not your best friend. I am!” Max’s face is dark, and somehow it seems like the temperature around them dropped a good degrees all of sudden. “I don’t lie to you. Hey, maybe if we hurt him, your dad will want to stay here longer to take care of him!”

Okay, something is really, really wrong now. It’s okay if Max doesn’t like Dean for some random reason, but this-- this is just too much! This is wrong and he won’t hurt Dean, no matter what Max says.

“We should try, Sammy!” Max says again, but he just sounds so wrong and twisted that Sam almost backs away. “You’ll stay forever if we do this! When he comes back, we--”

Sam shakes his head. He won’t do it, he won’t hurt his big brother-- and suddenly there are cold fingers wrapped around his beck in a bone-crushing grip, cutting his air supply, strangling him. It happens so fast Sam panics and he just can’t move, can’t push Max away even if he wants to, he can’t even breath. His head is spinning and there are dark spots dancing on his vision--

“Sorry Sammy...”

And then there’s darkness.
