Sebastian age 16 and Skylar age 14
As 16 year old Sebastian was looking after a 14 year old Skylar, he waited for his parents to go on their annual Easter trip, they were going for a week and he was forming a plan in his head about taking some of his dad's alcohol without him knowing, but first he did have to convince his little brother that to not tell them at all. All Sebastian had to do was promise Skylar with something.
As Sebastian heard the sound of his parents car leaving the drive way, it was the sound of his cue to take it. He snuck out of his bedroom and snuck into his dad's study, he saw the huge bottle of vodka, Sebastian knew that if he did end up drinking the entire bottle of vodka, he could just replace it with water, and his parents especially his dad wouldn't know the difference, because after all water and vodka do look identical so no one would know.
Sebastian carefully took the bottle of alcohol out of the cabinet where his dad had kept it. He turned around to leave and saw his younger brother Skylar standing in the door way leaning on the door frame smirking at him and said
"Stealing dad's alcohol while they go on their annual Easter trip, very ballsy Bas, you upped it up from last year, remind me again why mum and dad always leave you in charge when they go on this trip." Sebastian looked at him and said
"You can't tell them, especially dad. And besides it's only vodka and they leave me in charge because I'm the oldest." Skylar looked at his brother and said
"By two years Bastian. You want me to not tell them, what's in it for me, and don't you dare say say you'll give me some of the alcohol." Sebastian knew that he had to pay a price to keep Skylar's mouth shut about this, or else he would never see daylight again, Sebastian placed the bottle on the desk, and said to Skylar
"Fine what do you want to keep your mouth shut?" Skylar knew what he wanted, he smirked at his older brother and said
"Your allowance for the next three months." Sebastian gave Skylar a really look and said
"Three months, Really Skylar?" Skylar gave Sebastian an innocent smile and said
"I guess you should say goodbye to the outside of your room for at least 4 months, because I doubt mum and dad would go lightly on the punishment for this Sebastian." Sebastian glared at his younger brother and said
"Fine, you can have my allowance for the next three months. Happy?" Skylar smiled triumphantly and said
"Four? Or is that asking too much?" Sebastian folded his arms and said
"That's asking too much." Skylar smiled widely as he walked away, from the study, and thought it would come to bite Sebastian in the butt one day.
Four days after Sebastian took the bottle of vodka, he ended up finishing the whole bottle in four days. Skylar walked down to the kitchen to see Sebastian filling up the empty vodka bottle with water. Skylar shook his head at his brother and said
"Finally finished the vodka, I see." Sebastian turned and saw Skylar in the door way and said
"I have, and mum and dad aren't going to know at all." Skylar then saw the vodka bottle filled up with water and said
"I see your logic with filling the bottle up with water. You really think dad won't know the difference." Sebastian shrugged his shoulders and said
"What he doesn't know won't hurt him." Skylar sighed and said
"It's going to bite you in the butt one day Sebastian." Sebastian shook his head and said
"No it won't, trust me it won't." Skylar followed his brother to the study room and said
"It will, and when it does, I'm going to be laughing at you." Sebastian turned to face him after he places the vodka bottle back in the cabinet and closes the door gently and said to Skylar
"And would it be worth it Skylar?" Skylar smirked at him and said
"Yes, yes it will. As I have your allowance for the next three months to keep my mouth shut don't I. So yes it will be worth seeing this biting you in the butt." Sebastian then walked past Skylar and said
"It won't bite me in the butt Skylar, trust me it won't." Skylar shook his head at him and said
"Whatever you say Sebastian."
A few years later Sebastian was looking at his own secret alcohol stash at dalton as he was in charge of drinks for the dalton party where his girlfriend Rachel was invited to, and saw that he had ran out of his own alcohol, and hated using his credit card. He walked out of his dorm messaging his dad to let him know he was visiting. He bumped into Skylar and he said
"I'm going to visit mum and dad, you want to come, I'm taking Rachel with me, mum and dad want to meet her." Skylar always liked Rachel, and liked how happy she made his big brother. Skylar smiled at him and said
"Sure, I'll go with you two." Sebastian walked out of dalton with Skylar, and picked up Rachel on the way to his parents place. After a while Sebastian spoke to his dad about wanting cash to purchase some alcohol and said
"There's a party happening at dalton this weekend, and I'm out of my own alcohol in my secret stash in my dorm, and I don't like using my card, I was wondering if I could borrow some cash so I can purchase some." His dad smiled at him and said
"Don't worry about cash, I'll get you some." His dad stood up, walked to his dad study, took out the vodka bottle, and walked back handing it to Sebastian and said
"It should cover the party you told me about." Sebastian took bottle from his dad and looked at it. Sebastian knew that it was filled with water and has been since he was 16 and only Skylar knew it was. Sebastian looked up at his dad and said
"Thanks and it really should." Sebastian continued to look at the bottle in his hand, and knew that it really did come to bite him in the butt. He saw that his dad had walked away, and his mum and girlfriend were in the kitchen cooking. Sebastian turned to face a smirking Skylar and said
"Don't you dare Sky?" Skylar started to laugh at his brother and said
"I told you so."
