SUMMARY: Lizzie starts to have… Feelings for Edwin. And she can't figure out why. That is until she realizes it's all because of That Damned Games Closet.
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing. Cuz if I did, the show would be Dasey and Lizwin in almost every episode!

I don't get it. He's my brother, nothing more. If I had feelings for Edwin, life as I know it may as well end! Why? Why did I start to fall for him of all people! Just tell me why!
Lizzie sat in her room up past two in the morning, not caring that there was school the next day. Sure, it was her first day in High School, but that didn't matter. She HAD to figure out what was going on with her. She couldn't be falling for him.
Suddenly, inspiration struck her.
The game closet! That has to be it! We spend so much time in there, feelings are bound to erupt! I just have to tell him. Wait, I can't tell him. That would be the most disgusting thing that I ever said to him. He wouldn't ever talk to me again. Damn that closet!

The next morning, Lizzie walked to school with Edwin.
"So, Lizzie, what were you doing up all of last night?"
"Huh?"
"Your light was on until about three last night. What were you doing?"
"Nuh… Nuh… Nothing… I wasn't doing anything."
"Uh-ha. Sure. You know that you will crack. And you'll tell me."
Don't count on it. She thought.

That afternoon, Lizzie got home before anybody else.
As she was making a sandwich in the kitchen, Edwin walked in.
"Lizzie! Where are Dad and Nora?"
"Don't know."
"Ah-ha!" He pulled a note off of the TV.
Lizzie and Edwin,
Casey and Derek are at a friend's house. Marti is at the babysitters.
We won't be back until late tonight. Just remember to go to bed at 10.
Love, Nora and George
"Looks like we have the house to ourselves. George and Nora are out. Casey and Derek too. Marti's at the babysitter."
"Oh… That's… Great."
"Lizzie, I know that there's something that you're not telling me. What is it? I'm your best friend and brother. You can trust me with anything."
"No, I can't."
"Why do you think that I can't?"
"It's about a boy. You wouldn't understand."
"Try me."
"Well, it's a boy that I shouldn't like. But I do."
"Is that what you were up about last night?"
"Yeah. I was trying to think if I should tell him or not."
"Well, what's keeping you from telling him?" Edwin's face was moving closer to hers.
"I already told you. I can't like him."
"Well, why not?" Closer.
"It's not ethical."
"Lizzie, are you so much like your sister that everything has to be about ethics?" His face was within inches now.
"No, I just…"
"You just what?" He was now pressing his forehead to hers.
"I can't keep it a secret anymore!" And she closed the gap between him and herself, their lips meeting quickly.
"I'm sorry, Ed. I shouldn't have. I just… I couldn't…"
"Liz… It's ok." And he pulled her into a stronger kiss as they sat down on the couch that he always wanted to have his first kiss on.

A/N: OK, I know it's not that great, but it is my first try at a Lizwin story. I've loved the idea of them together since I first started watching the show and they were in the closet together, I just never got around to writing a story for them.
