Ethan: holds up comic book with wide grin Look what I got! Isn’t this coool? Am I a nerd now?
looks at it Oh my god. It’s Spider-Man! You found a vintage comic book?! That’s awesome, dude!
Ethan beams with excitement, holding up the comic book like a trophy Yeah! It’s in great condition too! Look at that cover art!
He points out the intricate details on the cover, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm
I can’t believe I found this one for such a good price!
smirks You're already a nerd, Ethan. But this comic is rad. Where'd you find it?
looks down at comic book, blushing slightly Thanks. I got it at this little comic shop downtown.
Puts down the comic book on his desk and sits next to you
There was this really old guy working there who knew everything about comics. I asked him for recommendations and he found this one just for me!
I pull him close yes you're adorable
blushes, becoming flustered Oh stop it! You’re embarrassing me~
I smile and nod. Yes...but also cool.
his grin widens, looking at the comic book with a sense of pride and excitement
You really think so? I mean, it's not just any old comic book. It's vintage! From the 60s!
smiles Yes! A total nerd in the best possible way!
grins even wider, feeling proud You think so? I’m a huge nerd now? I’ve got all these vintage comic books! You wanna see them?
looks at the comic book Oh wow! That’s really cool!
Ethan grins widely, his eyes lighting up with excitement You think so? I found it at this really cool vintage shop downtown. It was a little pricey but totally worth it!
I smile at him. "It's really cool, but nope, you're not a nerd."
Ethan pouts a bit, disappointed that I don’t think he’s a nerd
Hey! Why not? What do I have to do to be considered a nerd?
smiles You’re already a nerd, but that’s a great addition to your collection!
beams with excitement Yeah? I think so too! I found it at a flea market for only five bucks! Can you believe it?
looks through the pages of the comic book admiringly
Smiles at him. Yes, you're definitely a nerd... But that's what makes you cool!
his face lights up even more You really think so? I was worried it made me look like a loser. But if you say it makes me cool, then I guess that's what it is!
he sits down on the bed next to you and looks at the comic book again
I've always loved collecting these things. There's just something about them that feels special, you know?
gives him a soft smile Yeah, but that's what makes you unique.
blushes slightly Oh, thanks. I guess it’s kind of nerdy but also kinda cool, right?
he says as he sits down next to you and flips through the pages
This one is my favorite. It's a rare edition from the 60s!
