“Never take candy from strangers,” Leon said sternly, pulling Chris roughly away from some geezer in a wrinkled suit.

“He was just being nice.”

“That kind of nice you don’t need.”

He sat his brother down on a bench and hunkered down in front of him with a sigh. “Look, kiddo, the world is a dangerous place and you can’t always trust people, especially strangers.”

“But we get all kinds of candy from strangers on Halloween.”

“That’s different.”

“How?”

“Because I’m your big brother and I love you.” He ruffled Chris’ hair. “And I’m always there to keep you safe.”

God, we were just discussing this topic a while ago elsewhere... =S
...and children just always have to ask why/how/etc. whenever we truly mean their safety, no? DX

But don't worry; I'm in a mood.
Your drabble is excellent, and has a kind of cute ending line ^-^

I used to ask that same question: all year long we're told not to take candy from strangers, then give us the one day where we do just that.
*steams*
aaaaaaanyway, really great drabble, love brotherly love!Leon. So cute.

Very nicely done. And the conversation between Leon and Chris afterword, sounds so typical for a little child and an adult. Nice touch!

Awww, I love Leon being all brotherly! And I never realized before how Halloween contradicts all that "don't take candy from strangers" stuff our parents told us! ;)
