Tegan stepped inside the front door then dropped her bags to take a look at the house her and her sister would be staying at for the week. Sara had called her a few weeks prior and asked if she wanted to try writing songs together for their next album. Sara's phone call had been a pleasant surprise as the twins were working on rebuilding their relationship after the fist fight they had in Glasgow earlier that year. Hours of joint therapy and solo therapy sessions had mended it but left the sisters with a distant, formal vibe that just felt different.

Sara had taken care of all the arrangements for the 5 days they'd be writing together including renting a house with a working studio in the basement and booking the separate flights to New Orleans. Tegan's arrived from LAX to the New Orleans airport about an hour before Sara's flight from Montreal arrived. She had spent the time getting her bags then waiting at the terminal for her sister. Tegan was so happy to see Sara that she practically ran to throw her arms around her and ask how her flight was. They spent the cab ride to the house talking non-stop about the plans for the week.

When they got to the house, Tegan entered first then scanned the living room and kitchen scooting to the right so Sara could enter.

"Nice place. Hmm" Tegan said taking in the scent of the spacious 2 bedroom house "Smells like candles, maybe vanilla."

"Yeah, it smells good. I asked them to clean the place…twice" Sara nodded her head in agreement meeting her sister's eyes with a smile.

Tegan flashed her gummy smile in return "I'll bet. Did you tell them the renter had a severe case of OCD?"

"Something like that." Sara said as she wheeled her two luggage cases next to her sister's bags. "Ok, well, I'm going to put my stuff away and then we can get started downstairs. The equipment is all set up for us."

"Nooo" Tegan protested. "I need breakfast and you probably need coffee, right?" Sara had recently got into coffee in a big way and Tegan knew Sara couldn't resist the invitation. "I saw a coffee shop down the street. How 'bout I go get us something there and you can put your stuff away?"

"Don't you want to put your clothes away and get your room situated?" Sara asked.

"Sure but it'll take me two minutes and you probably need 2 hours" Tegan teased her with a smirk.

Sara laughed and said "Ok, we'll start when you get back."

The twins walked to the hallway and took a look at the rooms. On the ride in the cab, Sara had offered the bigger room to Tegan insisting that she take it. Tegan began to unpack her clothes while Sara shut the door to her smaller room and laid down on the bed on her back taking in a deep breath.

Hmm it's creepy how well the morning is going. Me and Tegan getting along, laughing the whole way from the airport and now I get to spend a whole week alone with her? I wonder how many songs we'll write. I wonder if we'll fight at all. And then Sara had the thoughts that she was ashamed of. I wonder how many times Tegan will masturbate when she's here. How many times does she usually masturbate in a week? She probably had sex with Lindsey last night and this morning before she caught her flight.

Sara imagined that Tegan set her alarm an hour earlier so she could have sex with her girlfriend before the flight. It was certainly what she did with Emy before she took a trip or started a tour. Sara's thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door and Tegan's voice "Ok, I'm going to the coffee shop. Be back in 20."

"Okay" Sara yelled towards the door. A few seconds later, Sara heard the front door slam and she lifted herself up off the bed to begin unpacking her clothes in the large dresser near her bed. As she reached the bottom of the first bag, she grabbed the purple vibrator she had carefully packed and started to put it towards the back of the top drawer behind her bras and underwear.

She'll probably be gone for at least 15 minutes, right? If I'm quick, I can cum before she gets back. Sara pondered this for a moment and decided she was too horny and unwilling to wait until bedtime to get off. She had been having intense thoughts and dreams about Tegan recently so her masturbation sessions usually only lasted a few minutes especially if she was using a vibrator.

Sara unbuttoned her jeans and got back on the bed. She was only a minute into thinking carnal thoughts about her sister and carefully massaging her swollen clit with the vibrator when she was interrupted by another knock at her door.

"Sara?" Tegan asked.

"Uh, yeah" Sara replied in a shaky voice turning off the vibrator. "You're back already?" Fuck! Hope she didn't hear the vibrator.

"No, the fucking credit card machine at the shop isn't working and I don't have any cash with me. Do you have any cash on you?" Tegan asked with a smile in her voice. Tegan had heard the vibrator as soon as she was a few steps from the door and she had stood there for a few seconds before knocking.

Is she serious? Sara can't wait until tonight when she goes to bed to do that? The older twin knew her sister was a very sexual creature but she couldn't believe that she leaves her alone for a few minutes and she's already having sex with herself.

"Yeah, hold on. I was just, uh, changing but let me get some cash." Sara quickly got up and went to her crumpled jeans on the ground and found a $20. She opened the door just a crack enough to pass the money though "Is a $20 enough?"

"Yeah, it should be plenty. Ok, see you in 20 minutes." Tegan grabbed the cash and smiled the whole to the coffee shop. In many banters, Tegan spoke about how her sister was like a horny teenaged boy and this morning was no exception. Too bad I'll never be able to banter about this story.

Oh my God. How embarrassing. She probably heard. She's gone for 5 minutes and I jerk off. Sara was embarrassed and disgusted with herself. She cleaned the vibrator then put it back in the drawer along with the rest of her clothes.

Tegan came back with a large coffee for Sara and a tea and muffin for herself. They spent a few awkward minutes in the kitchen while Tegan finished her muffin and discussed the plans for their morning writing session in the downstairs studio.

About 3 hours later, the sisters came back up the stairs and the awkward talk was replaced with laughter as Tegan opened the door to the basement studio. Sara had been recounting an incident at a café in her native Montreal earlier that week and her older sister was laughing at what a weird but funny person her sister was. It had taken Tegan months to get over the fact that her sister moved 3,000 miles away from her but she understood that Sara needed to be her own person and she always had great tales about her time in Montreal.

"Ok, so how about I take a nap while you get groceries? Wake me up in an hour?" Tegan asked as she walked into her room. The plan was that Sara would pick up groceries and other essentials for their 5 day stay and in return, Tegan would cook dinner the first night.

Sara walked into the house quietly and saw her sister asleep on the couch. She unloaded the groceries then walked over to her sister taking a seat on the brown coffee table directly in front of the couch. Aww, she looks so cute sleeping there. She's probably been asleep for nearly an hour and a half. Sara marveled at how pretty Tegan was with her porcelain skin and sharp jawline debating whether to wake her up or let her sleep another few minutes.

She was quite happy to watch her sister and after a moment, the unwanted thoughts came to her again. Sara felt her clit throbbing immediately. Her lips. Her lips look so soft and kissable. I'll bet she's a great kisser. Tegan talked a lot in banters about making out and Sara guessed that she was pretty good at it.

What if you just kissed her right now? A soft gentle kiss on her cheek then another on her lips. Mmm. God I'm getting wet thinking about it. If Tegan knew, she'd probably be so disgusted with me. She looks so peaceful sleeping. I wonder what she's dreaming about? Lindsey? Me?

Sara leaned in closer so her face was only a few inches from Tegan then she ran her left hand through her older sister's hair. She gently rested her other hand on Tegan's stomach whispering her name. Her sister stirred and softly moaned but she didn't wake up. Sara continued to run her hand through her sister's chestnut locks. Tegan moaned again then opened her eyes to reveal her beautiful brown irises.

"Mmm, okay I'm up" Tegan sleepily mumbled as she placed her left hand on top of Sara's so they were both touching her belly. Tegan's face turned towards Sara and she stretched arching her back so that both of their hands on her stomach raised up a few inches. Sara quickly moved her left hand which had been mindlessly tousling her sister's hair. "Sorry. It looked like you were having a bad dream." "That's okay" Tegan said as she flashed Sara her gummy smile. The older twin had always been more comfortable with physical affection and welcomed her sister's touch.

"Do you need help unloading the groceries?" Tegan asked. "Nah, I already took care of it" Sara replied. Tegan stretched her tiny body again "Ok, I'll meet you down in the studio in a few minutes?"

"Sounds good!" Sara replied as she headed to the basement door.

The twins were in the basement studio for another 4 hours and decided to call it a day around 6pm. They had been working on 3 different songs that day and had nearly completed two of them. Sara was the first to emerge from the basement.

"Honestly, whatever you want to cook is fine with me." "So you have no preference? Chicken or the pasta?" Tegan asked as the closed the basement door behind her.

"Yeah, whatever you want. You're the one cooking." "Okay, I'm going to cook lemon chicken and the asparagus then." Tegan replied.

"Mmm, that sounds yummy. I'm going to take a shower while you start cooking. Let me know if you need any help" Sara said as she walked to her room.

"It smells really good, Tegan." Sara was reading a book on the couch while Tegan was busy finishing up cooking in the kitchen. The smells were beginning to permeate both the kitchen and the adjoining living room. "Are you sure you don't need any help?" "Nope. I got it. It'll be ready in 5 minutes" Tegan said as she got 2 plates out from the cupboards.

"Ok, I'll cook tomorrow" Sara said absentmindedly as she turned the page of her book. Although the tv was on, Sara had muted the volume and it was mostly silent save for the occasional clangs and noises from Tegan cooking and stirring the food in the pan. The twins had spent so much time alone together that silent moments like these were never uncomfortable. Sara read a few more pages of her book before Tegan announced that dinner was ready.

Tegan handed Sara a plate full of food then took a seat next to her on the couch. "What do you want to watch? You cooked tonight so it's your call." Sara said as she handed the remote control to Tegan.

"Is Dog on? Did you find it?" Tegan asked referring to her favorite show Dog The Bounty Hunter. This elicited a giggle from Sara who thought it was funny that her sister was thoroughly entertained by stupid shows like that and Laguna Beach. The more vapid and mindless the tv show, the more likely Tegan was interested in it.

"Nah, I looked for it but couldn't find it. Breakfast Club was just starting on one of the channels. We could watch that" Sara offered as she started stuffing her face with lemon chicken. "Mmm, this is really good. I'm so hungry. Thanks for cooking."

"You're welcome" Tegan replied with her gummy smile. "Thanks for inviting me here. I think we did a really good job today. Two songs pretty much done and that one song that sounds like a mid-90's power ballad is really coming along" Tegan said as she dug into her plate of food on her lap.

The sisters watched Breakfast Club and chatted away about their plans for the next day while eating dinner. When they were done with their food, Sara took her plate and Tegan's plate to the kitchen then started to wash dishes and clean up the mess Tegan had made from cooking.

"Thank you" Tegan yelled to her sister over the sound of the kitchen faucet running. "If mom saw how well we were getting along today, she'd be so proud" Tegan joked.

"Yeah, she would. She would probably check our temperatures and ask if we were feeling okay though" Sara giggled as she finished putting the last plate back into the cupboard. She walked from the kitchen into the living room then grabbed her book next to Tegan before sitting down on the couch across from her.

"Really?!" Tegan asked incredulously. "What?" Sara replied as she sat on her legs on the couch.

"Do I have cooties? Why are you sitting so far away?" Tegan said with a giggle.

"No. I didn't think I have to sit right next to you. I mean c'mon, Tegan. Do you want to hold my hand while I read? Are we five years old?" Sara scoffed while opening up her book to the last page she was reading before dinner.

"No. This is exactly like you. We were getting along then you ruin it. I mean we were just talking about how we are getting along and you ruin it." Tegan straightened her back turning a bit to face to twin.

"Oh my God! Way to exaggerate, Tegan. I took a seat on a different couch and you're like offended?"

"Yeah, a little" Tegan replied picking up the remote control and changing the station.

Sara went back to reading her book when Tegan started to turn the volume up really loud. Sara looked up from her book at her sister who was grinning from ear to ear.

"Really? I guess you are five years old" Sara said then got up from the couch to sit down so close to Tegan that their legs were touching.

"Is this better? Is this what you want?" Sara asked with an annoyed tone.

"Now who's the one exaggerating? Geez, I thought we could get along this week and be nice to each other. I'm sorry if my idea of that doesn't fit in with your's" Tegan softly said as she turned down the volume of the tv back to where it was before. Sara scooted over on the couch so that she was a foot away from Tegan then started to read again. The twins were mostly silent for the next hour with an occasional laugh from Tegan while she watched the tv.

When the movie ended, Tegan began to stretch her back and loudly moaned. "Hmm, I sure could use a massage right now" she said with mischief in her voice. Sara looked up from her book at her sister

"Really? You're going to be that obvious?" This elicited giggles from Tegan.

"Yes. I cooked dinner. You owe me. I'll give you a massage, too."

"Oh, no. I'm afraid that you'll hurt my back considering how mad you got over me sitting on a different couch from you" Sara chided her.

"Please?" Tegan begged her clasping her hands together for effect.

"Fine. Get on the floor" Sara pointed to the floor where she wanted Tegan to lay. Tegan laid down on the beige carpet then Sara straddled her slightly above her bum.

Sara put both hands on her sister's shoulders and started to massage them when she felt Tegan's bra straps.

"Do you want to take it off? Your bra is going to get in the way" Sara said.

"Um, just unhook it for me" Tegan instructed her little sister. Sara's hands went under Tegan's shirt then unhooked the bra clasp and she pushed the straps to the side. Sara brought her hands back to Tegan's shoulders then realized the top bra straps would still in the way for her to give a proper massage.

"Just take it off completely" Sara said. "Eww. Gross! I'm not going to take my shirt off" Tegan replied.

"I meant your bra, dummy. Just take your bra off. Leave your shirt on" Sara said with a jokingly annoyed tone. Tegan giggled then arched and twisted her body up enough that she was able to wriggle with both hands under her shirt to remove her lavender bra then set it next to her.

"Nice bra" Sara said with a smirk. Tegan lowered her body back down so that she was prone on the floor with her left cheek touching the carpet.

"Much better" Sara said as she climbed back on top of Tegan placing her hands on her lower back.

"Jesus! You're really tense" Sara exclaimed as she began working her way up Tegan's back.

"Ahhh, this feels so nice. I haven't had a massage in weeks" Tegan said as she sighed.

"Weeks?! I was going to ask how it was going with Lindsey but I guess that answers my question."

"Things are going good. I just don't ask for massages from her all the time. You know how some couples don't really do massages a lot? Well, I guess we're one of those couples that doesn't."

"But we are?" Sara asked coyly. This made Tegan giggle causing Sara to smile to herself that she could make Tegan's body shake with laughter.

"Yes, we are! Like do it deeper towards my upper right part." Sara complied and began kneading her sister's right shoulder blade.

"Here? Is this where you want it?"

"That's what she said and yes" Tegan mumbled. "Oh, it hurts and feels good all at the same time." Sara relaxed the pressure she was using to massage her sister's back.

"Is it too much? Am I hurting you?"

"No, keep going. It doesn't hurt. Well, it's the good kind of pain. You're getting rid of a knot I have back there." Tegan assured her.

Sara got up on her knees then scooted down so that she was straddling Tegan right below her bum. The pair were silent for a few minutes as Sara massaged her lower back then slowly inched her way up her mid-back. The unwanted thoughts came to Sara: This feels so good. I'm straddling Tegan and massaging her. Sara flashed a knowing smile. Such a couple thing to do. Giving each other massages. Well, except most couples use this as foreplay and are going to have sex after.

Calloused yet delicate hands marched up Tegan's back while Sara furrowed her brow lamenting that she and Tegan would not be having sex after the massage. Still though. I'm straddling her. I mean my clit is touching her thigh. I'll move it right now and put my clit right on her bum and she won't even know what a turn on it is.

Sara again got on her knees then scooted up a bit then she sat back down directly on her sister's bum. "Ok, I'm almost done" she said as she placed both hands on Tegan's back just below her shoulder blades. Starting with her thumbs near Tegan's spine, Sara kneaded the tension out in powerful upward strokes until she got to her shoulders.

"Ahh, I don't want it to end. It feels so good. I could fall asleep so easy right now." Tegan mumbled.

"Well, don't! Stay awake. You owe me a massage" Sara replied.

"Yeah, tomorrow. I'll give you a massage tomorrow after you cook dinner" Tegan said with a dead serious tone.

"Uh, no! You said you'd give me-" Sara began to protest then Tegan interrupted with "Relax! I was only kidding. I'll give you a massage tonight." Sara got to the tops of Tegan's shoulders and began to use her thumbs to push out the tension in her sister's back.

When she was done she cheerfully announced "Okay! My turn now." Sara stood up then offered a hand to help her sister up from the floor. In a push up motion, Tegan lifted herself up from the floor then pointed to the carpet "Here. But I'm going to fuck your back up because you were a bitch and thought I had cooties."

"Tegan, I didn't think it was a big deal. If you're going to fuck up my back-" Sara started to say in the same dramatic tone that Tegan had used but she was interrupted again.

"I was kidding. I'm not going to fuck up your back. Lay down."

Sara laid down in nearly the same exact spot that her sister was in then Tegan straddled her with her crotch just above her bum. Both of Tegan's hands went up under Sara's shirt looking for her bra strap but her hands reached up to her shoulders and she felt nothing.

"I'm not wearing a bra" Sara mumbled.

"Slut" was Tegan's quick reply. This elicited a chuckle from Sara. Tegan placed both hands on Sara's back over her shirt and gently put pressure going from her lower back to her shoulder in a sweeping upward motion.

"Okay, where do you want it? Where does it hurt?" Tegan inquired.

"All over. And be hard. I kinda like the pain…just like you."

"Oh, you're a masochist, too?" Tegan playfully said.

The sisters were quiet for the next 2 minutes while Tegan began kneading her sister's back beginning from the lower half then reaching in between the shoulder blades. Tegan broke the silence "So, are you seeing anyone? Anyone you're interested in?"

Sara was silent then after a few seconds she lifted her face up from the carpet to reply "No and not really. I'm happy being by myself with my books and just writing and getting prepared for pre-production." This vague reply made Tegan laugh.

"Okaaay. Sounds like you're giving an answer to an interviewer. I'm your sister but okay if you want to be vague then go right ahead."

"Please don't be like mom and try to set me up with someone or criticize me for being single. It's really annoying" Sara curtly replied.

"Geez, if you don't want to talk about then we don't have to. Ya know, I rarely ask you about your dating life for this exact reason. You're such a mysterious bitch about it."

"Just keep massaging. The tops of my shoulders. Both sides. Hard" Sara mumbled barely lifting her right cheek off the carpet.

"Uh, we're almost done here. I've been massaging you for longer than you did me." Tegan told her.

Starting with her thumbs then her flat palms, Tegan kneaded on Sara's shoulders in an upward motion. The pair were silent again for another minute and Sara's mind began to drift. She's so strong. I like her massages. Very deep and thorough. Her clit is like right on my lower back. I wonder if she's turned on at all.

Sara suddenly became aware of her throbbing clit. I wonder if her clit is throbbing like mine. I mean she's straddling me and…I would love to just flip over and eat her out right now. Tegan sitting on my face. Sara's clit began to throb even more making it feel as if she had a tiny beating heart in between her legs. Sara pictured her and a fully naked Tegan straddling her face with her hands on her bum.

"Okay! All done" Tegan announced then in one swift move she got up off her sister and fell back on the couch behind her. Sara got up and sat next to her on the couch then picked up her book and began to read again. The sisters were mostly quiet for the next 20 minutes while Sara read and Tegan watched tv. Tegan got up from the couch and cheerfully asked "Do you want anything to drink?"

"Uh, yeah, can you get me a water?" Sara said without even looking up from her book.

When Tegan returned a minute later she turned off the living room light leaving the tv and lamp next to Sara as the only light source in the room. She was carrying two water bottles one of which she handed to Sara then she took the blanket she carried under her arm and spread it out over her legs after she sat back down on the couch. Sara put down her book between them then grabbed the corner of the blanket and spread it so that it covered her legs, too.

"Did you want a blanket? I can get you one" Tegan sweetly offered.

"Oh, are you afraid I might have cooties? Don't want to share with me?" Sara teased her with a sly grin.

"No, I know you have cooties but I'll still share. That's how nice of a sister I am" Tegan said flashing a smile.

Sara picked up her book placing it on the coffee table and laid down on the couch with her head on Tegan's lap. Tegan was so happy with this display of physical affection her sister rarely offered and smiled to herself. Sara let out a big sigh.

"I'm sorry about earlier. Sometimes when we get along I do things to piss you off and push you away. I'm like afraid of the closeness."

"I know" Tegan softly replied as she began to run her fingers through her sister's hair. She was happy for her sister's confession and hopeful that Sara wouldn't be mad with her overtly physical gesture.

The room was silent for a minute save for the tv while Tegan kept stroking her sister's hair. Sara broke the silence "I'm so profoundly sad, Tegan."

Tegan let this confession sink in and after a beat or two she softly admitted "I know." She gently took Sara's bangs and tucked them behind her left ear then asked in a hushed tone "Why?" Sara took a deep breath before answering "I don't want to talk about it now."

Tegan nodded to herself and after a few seconds she offered "That's okay. You don't need to tell me now. When you're ready to talk about it though, I'll be here to listen to you."

"I know, Tegan. You're a good sister. I promise to tell you one day. Okay?" Sara softly asked her.

Tegan took the curly hair she had wrapped around her sister's ear then ever so gently tugged on it reassuring her "That's okay. Take your time. I'll be here whenever you're ready."

The sisters eventually dozed off in that position both under the blanket with Sara's head on Tegan's lap. It was Sara who woke up first and she had to whisper Tegan's name twice before she woke up.

"Tegan. Wake up. We fell asleep watching tv." Tegan opened her eyes and looked over at her sister who was already standing up and had her right hand outstretched offering her help up from the couch.

Tegan took Sara's hand in hers and Sara pulled her up off the couch. "It's like 1am. I'll set my alarm for 8am. Sound good?" Sara asked as they walked past the kitchen and into the hallway towards their bedrooms.

"Yeah. 8am is good. I'm going to go running in the morning then we can start in the basement around 9am. Sound good?" Tegan asked her in between a yawn as she got to the doorway of her room.

Sara stood in the doorjam to her bedroom then turned around to answer "Yeah, that sounds okay. Goodnight."

Tegan answered "Okay. Goodnight."

The older twin began to walk into her room and raising her voice just above a whisper she offered "I love you."

Sara smiled upon hearing this and let out a quiet laugh that even Tegan couldn't hear before offering back "I love you, too." Both sisters then quietly shut the doors to their bedrooms and padded a few more steps to their warm beds.
