Being Just Like Daddy
His hands held me tightly as he led me into the bathroom. There he let me stand on the plastic blue stool and look at myself in the mirror. He smiled at me and I smiled back. Then he took a can of shaving cream and shook it. Pretending to squirt it out at me, I winced and clenched my eyes, waiting for the white whip cream that was really whip cream. I figured this out when I tried to eat it. It didn't taste good.
He sprayed some of the fluff into his hand and dipped his index and middle finger into it. Then placing it around my chin and cheeks and under my nose, he applied some onto his own strong chin. Lifting what was called a razor into his left hand, he handed me one as well. The plastic sheltered the blade so I wouldn't cut myself.
I followed his strict orders: hold the handle in your hand; I did that with ease. Set it on your jawbone; I did that too. And slowly bring it up; I watched him do this and copied his movements. When I finished with the first stroke, I looked up at him and wondered if I did okay. He made a remark of if I were to do this for real, I'd surely cut myself. I didn't understand exactly what he meant; but I didn't want to get cut. So the last strokes I took my time, following each motion he made.
When we finished, I looked up and he smiled with approval. His hands wiped off some of the extra shaving cream off of my cheeks and patted me on the back. He told me how much he loved me and I said that I shouldn't act so mushy now that I was growing up. He just laughed.
Mother walked passed the door and stopped. She looked in and smiled brightly. The bulge on her tummy was bigger than ever. I knew that I was going to be a big brother soon. Her smile never left as we exchanged looks.
"What are you two doing?" she asked carefully.
"Being just like Daddy." I replied proudly
I just thought I'd do something like this because a lot of people tend to make Yamato's dad abusive and stuff. And I just imagined a Chibi Yamato trying to be just like his father. Then I remembered what a lot of boys do when they want to be older; they shave. At least that's what I think. ^-^; Please r/r. I know it's short, but I didn't think I need to go into long stories and stuff. Cough*reviewpleasereview!*cough. Thanks. ~HT
