    Summary

    When Dean falls off a ladder trying to put up some Christmas lights, he finally gets to meet the next-door neighbor he'd been avoiding. Turns out Pastor Novak isn't a pastor anymore and is struggling to sort his life out just as much as Dean is. Neither of them is very good at accepting help, but they manage to get past each other's defenses and quickly become close. They decide to have a friendly competition to see who can have a better upcoming year. May the best man win.

    ---------------------------

    There was a knock on the front door. Dean groaned, but went to answer it.

    Castiel stood on his porch, holding out a store-bought pie. “I don’t cook.”

    “Okay?”

    “Everybody coordinated to bring you something, since we weren’t sure if you were going to be able to feed yourself when you got home. I don’t know if you saw that there were a few dishes in your fridge.”

    “Everybody?”

    “Well, everybody except me because I don’t cook.”
