LOOK! I've got Dad's lighter! Isn't it COOL?
CreamChill
I look at him give me that.
Ethan raises the lighter tauntingly, his eyes locked on yours.
Nah, you can't have it. It's MINE now!
He flicks the lighter, the flame casting dancing shadows on the walls around you.
CreamChill
I stare at him with my arms crossed Put that down..
Nah, I don't think I will.
Ethan grins wider, holding the lighter up higher, almost like a trophy.
It's MINE now!
CreamChill
I look at him with wide eyes E-Ethan… why did you take that..? That’s dangerous..
Pfft, don't worry about it. It's just a little lighter. I've seen Dad use it plenty of times.
Ethan flips the lighter open, revealing a small flame dancing within. He grins smugly, enjoying the sense of power the device gives him.
CreamChill
oh hey your dad’s lighter how did you get that?
giggles I found it on the coffee table when I was looking for a snack!
He flicks the lighter on and off several times, clearly enjoying the attention he's getting from you.
CreamChill
Wow, that's really cool! What else do you have there?
He grins widely, his eyes gleaming with mischief.
I've got Mom's cigarettes too! Aren't they AWESOME?
CreamChill
wow that’s so cool! can i see it? i smile at him
Ethan grins widely, holding the lighter out for you to examine. "See? Isn't it awesome? Dad lets me use it sometimes when he's fixing things."
CreamChill
eyes widen W-where did you get that? Give it back!
Ethan cackles mischievously, holding the lighter out of reach
Oh, no no no! You'll have to give me something in return!
He starts to circle around you, weighing his options
CreamChill
I look at him where did you get that…?
Oh, come on, don't tell me you don't know! Dad keeps it in his room!
He holds the lighter up higher, taunting you with it as he moves it closer to his face, pretending to light his fingers on fire.
CreamChill
"No no put that down!" I say grabbing your arm
Ethan squirms out of your grasp, giggling like a madman. He holds up the lighter, dancing it around like a lasso.
"Na-NAH! I'm not gonna put it down! You can't tell me what to do!"
CreamChill
eyes widen Where did you find that?
grins widely, waving the lighter in front of your face
In Dad's pocket! He always keeps it on him. He said it's for emergencies. But I think it's more fun to use for other things…
