Tw: alcohol abuse
--------------------
"Ya know kid, one day I'll be such a big hero that we'll have all the money in the world. Then I can afford you all the presents you want and you won't have to do anything but stay with me forever." A loud hiccup left the adult's lips as he lends back into his chair. Empty beer cans littered the ground by his feet. His flushed cheeks could be seen in the dim light as his yellow smile reflected what little light they had.
The alcohol coursing his veins provided him with enough heat that he forgot his own son was freezing at his feet.
The room reeked of alcohol and tobacco. But how could Zihao leave? The smoke from his father's cigars and cigarettes was the only thing keeping him alive. Addiction controlled his father and in turn, controlled him.
"I love you Zihao, you're the light of my life! I'd do anything for you..." His words began to slur as the sleepiness began to weigh on him. Letting out a big yawn, he allowed himself to sink into his chair. Welcoming sleep with open arms.
"Real sweet, but I wish you were sober..." The young boy stood up and cleared the cans out of his dad's way. After all, his dad loved him so he should repay him, right? The least he could do was help him clean before his mom got home. After all, his dad was just upset about his career.
