It is day two of lookout, Erik shows no sign of hatred and little sign of fear. He just gets a little nervous whenever Curtis gets mad.
Right now Curtis is playing Legend Of Zelda and Erik is watching. Curtis is playing Twilight Princess, the best Zelda game ever. Curtis is trying to kill Ganondorf but is having no luck. Usually Curtis can kill Ganondorf easily but for some reason he is having a hard time. After the 5th time of dying Curtis has had enough. Curtis threw the controller and started to yell and swear and say horrible things that is scaring Erik.
"GOD DAMN IT!" Curtis yelled as he kicked the controller. Curtis' kick had enough force to rip the controller out of its socket when kicked and it hit the wall. Curtis came to his senses and realized what he has done, he looks towards the couch and sees Erik shaking in fear.
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper" Curtis said as he walked to Erik. Erik looked at Curtis with terror in his eyes. Curtis sat down on the couch, pulled Erik so he is sitting on his lap and embraced him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lose my temper. I will try to not let it happen again" Curtis says. Erik relaxed when he was embraced.
"How about we play a game, wanna do that?" Curtis asks, Erik nods.
Now Curtis and Erik are playing a drinking game. They are playing Gauntlet. You start Gauntlet by dealing five cards face up between the two players. Deal a second row face down beneath the face-up cards. Player One tries to guess if the first face-down card is higher or lower than the accompanying face-up card. Flip the card. If wrong, the player takes a swig for each number on the newly flipped card. Replace the guessed card with a new face-down card. If guessed correctly, keep going until you complete the gauntlet. Take turns guessing.

They played the game for 30 minutes and already Erik is getting drunk. They are drinking vanilla flavored vodka, and vodka is strong. Curtis has a high alcohol tolerance, Erik's is pretty low. Eventually Curtis is starting to get drunk while Erik already is. Curtis decides to end the game.
"I don wan to end game" Erik slurs as he takes another swig of the vanilla vodka.
"Too bad, we are ending the game" Curtis says as he takes away the vodka, Erik pouts and says "Fuck you".
"I am going to dismiss that since you are drunk" Curtis says as he puts away the alcohol. Erik just sits on the floor doing nothing, he is staring off into space.
"Come on, you need a nap" Curtis says as he helps Erik stand,
"Don need nap, not kid" Erik says as he stumbles.
"You do need a nap, now listen to big brother and take a nap" Curtis says,
"Don wanna listen to big brother, he mean. He hurt me badly" Erik says. Curtis feels bad, he remembers the time he lost his temper with Erik, he wouldn't be surprised if he has bruises from the experience.
"Big brother is sorry, he didn't mean to hurt you. It also hurt big brother when he hurt you" Curtis says, Erik doesn't say anything, instead he walks to the couch and collapses.
"Sing to me big brother" Erik says, Curtis smiles and starts to sing a lullaby. Soon Erik is sleeping peacefully.

When Erik wakes up he has a major headache. Erik holds his head and groans.
"Whats wrong? Hungover?" Curtis asks from the other couch,
"Yeah" Erik says,
"Let me get you some coffee, that will help" Curtis says as he walks into the kitchen. Curtis comes back into the living room 3 minutes later and handed Erik a cup of coffee. Erik drank the coffee, its good. Erik doesn't like coffee as much as Curtis does but he still likes coffee, almost every adult likes coffee. When Erik finished his coffee he was handed a bottle of water.
"You should also drink some water, I don't know why but if you are hungover you should drink water. And if you drink coffee then you also drink water afterwards, I think it's the caffeine in the coffee that dehydrates you" Curtis said, Erik nodded and took the water and drank some. After drinking a few more sips of water Erik really had to pee, so he got up and went to the bathroom, though as soon as he got there he started swearing, there are 5 white faced hornets on the mirror.
"Why the hell do I see you guys so fucking often?!" Erik snapped,
"Who are you talking to?" Curtis asks,
"Another bitch of the bee family. God damn it" Erik said and walked out of the bathroom. He will just use the one upstairs. As Erik is walking through the living room Curtis passes by him and says "I'll take care of the hornets", Erik just stares at him like he is crazy. Erik is just standing there, waiting for Curtis to return, after 5 minutes Erik hears Curtis yell "OW GOD DAMN IT!". Erik rushes to the bathroom only to find the hornets dead and Curtis is smiling.
"You didn't get stung did you?" Erik asks,
"Nope. Just a prank" Curtis says,
"Bastard" Erik says, Curtis just chuckles and says "Well now that the hornets are gone you can use the bathroom" and he leaves to head back into the living room.

Erik sits on the blood red couch, the same one Curtis is sitting on, and says to Curtis "Want to play a game?",
"Is it a drinking game?" Curtis asks,
"No" Erik replies,
"Okay, sure. What did you have in mind?" Curtis asks,
"I read about this awhile ago, we insult each other and first one to laugh or lose their temper loses" Erik says. Curtis is really unsure of this, he remembered a few hours ago how Erik reacted when he lost his temper. Then again Curtis was swearing, yelling and he kicked a controller so hard it got disconnected from the game station and went flying and it hit the wall. Curtis is thinking about it, Erik seems like he wants to play, seems like fun to him. Curtis decided that if he is about to lose his temper he is going to fake a laugh so the game will be over.
"Okay, lets play" Curtis said. Erik nodded and said "When I think about you, I touch myself. Meaning I rub my temples, because you give me a fucking migraine". Curtis chuckles at what Erik said but he didn't laugh.
"I wasn't born with enough middle fingers to let you know how I feel about you" Curtis says,
"I bet your brain feels as good as new, seeing that you never use it" Erik says,
"If you're gonna be a smart ass, first you have to be smart, otherwise you're just an ass" Curtis says,
"It's better to let someone think you're an idiot then to open your mouth and prove it" Erik says.

The game has been going on for an hour and no one is laughing or losing their temper. Though they do find it funny. After 3 more insults they decide to quit.
"Well, now I know some more insults to use" Curtis says, Erik smiles and watches TV.

After an hour of watching TV Erik walks into the kitchen to get a snack, while doing so he knocks over a vase and it shatters. Erik stars at the shattered remains of the vase, he is horrified. Curtis rushes into the kitchen and sees the broken vase, he looks angry, until Erik starts crying and he says "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. It was an accident. Please don't spank me". Curtis calms down and hugs Erik so he will calm down also.
"It's okay, it was just an accident. I can replace the vase" Curtis says in a soothing voice. Erik calms down quickly.

It was a few days later, Erik still shows no sign of hatred and all signs of fear are gone. Though Curtis did notice something. Erik has been acting out lately, he probably think's Curtis wont spank him. Curtis has decided he can't let Erik be a little brat anymore and the next time Erik does something bad, he is getting spanked. Curtis walked out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee and into the living room where he saw Erik dial something short into the living room phone before dialing someone's number. Curtis wondered what Erik is up to and just watched him.

Erik's P.O.V.

I smile as the random person I called picked up and said "Hello?" I quickly say "Hey, boss. I took care of John, I stuck him like a pig. Now what do I do with the body?" the man on the other end screams "What the hell?!" and I quickly hang up. Once I hang up, I laugh like crazy. Just then Curtis clears his throat to make himself known. I look at Curtis and say "Oh, Hello" Curtis looks angry and he says "You are in big trouble" I immediately get nervous and say "But I didn't do anything wrong. It was just a prank phone call."
"Prank phone calls are illegal plus what you said was terrible. Do you remember what I did the last time you did something illegal?" Curtis says, I feel nervous but Curtis hasn't been doing anything about me when I have been acting out so I don't think he will do anything. Curtis walks over to me and sits down next to me. What he does next got me crying immediately, he pulled me over his knee.
"Please don't spank me, I'm sorry" I cry out.
"You have been acting like a bratty, naughty kid lately and I think you need a reminder of what happens when you act out" Curtis said and landed the first swat and I yelped in pain. Curtis lands 9 more swats before saying "Do you remember what I said I would use if you did something illegal again?" I immediately start bawling my eyes out. Now I am really scared. Curtis doesn't spank me anymore and he didn't even bother getting his belt. He just sat me up in his lap and held me comfortingly.
"I decided to go easy on you, next time I won't be so nice" Curtis says and rubs my back. I cling to him and cry. Just then Curtis kisses my forehead and he says "Just remember this, big brother loves you" I sniffle and don't say anything. I just rest my head on Curtis' shoulder and cry. He had scared me. He then carries me upstairs to his room and makes me lay down on his bed and lays down with me. I snuggle close to Curtis and fall asleep.
