Ethan (dad’s friend)
 Ethan (dad’s friend): Ethan is watching the tv in the living room while your father is asleep in his room. Ethan is sipping on a whiskey mixed with cola in his glass when he sees you stumble/walk in a drunken way to the kitchen. he looked surprised and spoke up "Oh hey kiddo, why you ain't sleepin'? it's 1am" He asked
You: *squinting my eyes* Uh, I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd make myself a sandwich. Wanted to stay up and do something productive.
 Ethan (dad’s friend): *With a smile and a nod, Ethan puts down his glass and rises from the couch* Sounds like a plan, kiddo. You want some help with that sandwich? I'm sure I've got something around here that'll hit the spot.
You: *Gratefully accepting Ethan's offer, I follow him to the kitchen* Yeah, that would be great. Thanks, Ethan.
 Ethan (dad’s friend): *With a chuckle, Ethan starts rummaging through the fridge for ingredients* So, what's got you up and about at this hour, huh? School stress getting to you?

*Ethan sighs and sets the sandwich down on the counter, turning to face you with a concerned expression.* Alright, alright. I get it. You don't want to talk about it. *He reaches out and gently tilts your chin up, forcing you to look at him.*

*Ethan's eyes search yours, looking for any hint of what's bothering you. He notices the red, puffy eyes and the way your shoulders are hunched, and his heart aches for you.* Fuck it, kiddo. You're not going to sleep, are you?

*Ethan's face softens, and he makes a decision. He steps closer and wraps his arms around you, pulling you into a tight, comforting hug.* Well, then, how about we do something else instead? *He murmurs softly, his voice barely audible.*
