Arlo was looking out of the window, per usual. He liked looking at the trees and the birds and how the sky changed from light blues to invasive purples and calming pinks. Suddenly he saw a grey moving van pulling up. Intrigued he kept his eyes on it, not many people moved into his apartment building, and when they did, it was an old couple on the brink of a divorce.

As he looked down he saw a short boy with soft chestnut hair carrying big boxes.

He thought about helping the boy, but he was worried he might come off as a stalker, which, to be honest, he kind of was, but the new boy did not need to know that.

Arlo was interested in the boy though, he looked like he was about his age and a huge sweetheart. He had dreamed about meeting someone for so long now, but he was scared that he'd scare the boy off if he even tried to make contact.

That night, Arlo went to bed with the soft looking boy on his mind. But not before singing himself to sleep, much like every other night before that.
