"Lori and Luna"

"I'm Proud of You, Sis" part ten

"Tonight was awesome, sis, thank you for the tickets. To think that Boys will be Boys brought me up on stage to sing to me. I could not imagine anything better, other than spending time with my rockin' sis!" said Lori as she drove from the arena, where she and her sister Luna attended a Boys will be Boys concert, thanks to Luna gifting Lori a pair of tickets for her eighteenth birthday to the performance in Traverse City, a four and a half hour drive from Royal Woods.

"No prob, sis. Not really my type of music, but I enjoyed it. I agree, the best part of it all was spending time with you." Luna said with a smile and a pat on Lori's shoulder.

"How did you arrange for me to be brought on stage? I was literally shaking the whole time!"

"Chunk knows the sound techs that work at the arena. I had him set up the whole deal, that and the primo seats." Luna said as the two rode on.

Lori nodded as she drove to the hotel. She was thinking what a wonderful time she had been having, celebrating her eighteenth birthday with family and friends; a night out with Bobby, a golf glove autographed by Nancy Lopez from Lincoln, a dazzling dress made by Leni, along with other thoughtful gifts, only to be topped by mom and dad giving her a car! Used, but still in great condition. Lori's first trip with it being the concert with Luna. Lori thought on the time she went to her first concert with Luna, oh, the embarrassment! She could not, however, pass up this opportunity to spend special time with her second sister, a sister she loved very much, but never really was all that close to for the most part. She was going away to college soon, and vowed to herself to spend individual time with her siblings before she parted.

Being that the two only had snacks before the concert, they stopped for dinner, before finally making it to the hotel.

They shared a room with one queen bed, an opportunity for them to sleep together for the first time since both were well younger.

"This room is rockin'! It even has a jacuzzi. What do you say, Lors, want to get in?"

"I would love to, but I didn't bring my swimsuit. Didn't think we'd be doing any swimming or soaking."

"Well, neither did I, but it is just the two of us girls here. And if I remember correctly, we have seen each other naked before. Must I remind you of the time I saw a full moon one night in the kitchen?" Luna teased with a wink to her sister, who suddenly was bright red at the memory.

"Must you bring that up?" Lori chided her sister, thinking back to the time one hot summer's night when the AC broke down, one brazen Lori snuck down in the early morning for a snack, next thing she knew, there was Luna, seeing her in all her naked glory.

"Whatever. I could go for a soak." said Lori to an already undressing Luna. Lori followed suit, and soon, both girls were immersed in the luxurious, hot water.

"I do have to admit, sis, this is nice, being in here with you like this, just sit back and relax, without a care in the world." said Lori, who was leaning back with her eyes closed.

"You said it, dude." said Luna, repeating the actions of her sister.

After a few moments of silence, Luna spoke up. "So, sis, what made you agree to take me to the concert, knowing my history?" asked Luna, referring to how she has a reputation of being a little crazy at concerts.

"I was hesitant at first, I mean, stage diving at an opera? Crowd surfing at a children's show? What next, a mosh pit at the symphony? Actually, I remembered what Lincoln told me about the time you helped him have a great time at his first concert. He said he felt even closer to you after. Then Leni told me the night she got back with you at the Swagger show for your birthday. She told me how proud she was of you, playing a solo to an appreciative crowd. She told me she felt a greater friendship with you afterward. If Lincoln and Leni had positive experiences with you, then why not me? So I took a shot in the dark, and I am glad I did."

"I'm glad, too, sis."

"How about my little sis scooch over and lean against me? Come on over here, you!" Lori said, inviting Luna, patting her chest.

Luna accepted the invitation, and the two sister's nude bodies leaned against each other, Luna resting her head on Lori's upper left breast, easing herself into Lori's reverse hug.

"Isn't this nice, sis? This reminds me of the times I held you like this when we were younger, in the bath and on the couch. We were closer friends back then, before more and more of our siblings kept coming."

"And you became more distant." Luna interjected.

Sighing, Lori said "Yes, I know. All of us kids together in one household, being the oldest I believe I somewhat understand what mom and dad have to put up with. As more of our siblings came, the more mom and dad depended on me to help with the load. Yes, it is easier with you and Leni, and Luan able to help with the younger ones, but I had the brunt of the responsibility. I swear I do love all of you with all of my heart, but there are times I do wonder what it would be like with just half of us around." Lori finished, brushing her cheek against Luna's head.

"Look, dude, I understand what you are saying. It's not easy being the third oldest, either. Looking at it the other way, it sure can be infuriating to hear 'I'm the oldest, I'm the oldest.' I would think that being the oldest would mean being willing to make sacrifices, being there for the younger ones, showing love and kindness, not throwing one's weight around like a tyrant. Now don't get me wrong, despite all of that, you have proven yourself a caring sister. You now include us older ones in the babysitting duties. I have felt closer to you as of late."

"Thanks, sis. I needed, and wanted to hear that. I am so sorry about the way I acted before, and I am willing to try to be closer with all of you, and trust you to make your own decisions. For one, I would observe the relationship you've always had with Lincoln. You were always so close with him, and he would go to you or the others, and not me when he needed something. I always felt jealous of that. Thinking of that gave me the motivation to change."

"Now, he does go to you, along with the others as well. I am glad you have toned down the 'I'm the oldest' jazz."

"Me too, sis, me too." Lori said, placing a kiss on top of Luna's head.

"You know, sis, our talk has made me think of the time when I was being bullied in school, remember? I was one of those easy to pick on kids, painfully shy."

"I remember, you used to run up to your room and and wouldn't come out after school. You refused to talk to any of us, even Luan had a hard time getting anything out of you. And you and her were close even back then."

"Yeah. Leni, sweet, sweet Leni, with all of her hugs and kisses couldn't even make me feel better. Lincoln even offered to let me have Bun Bun to sleep with, sweet little dude. Then one day at recess, you saw my bullies picking on me, then you went into action. You went and got in their faces. I don't remember all that you said to them, but I do remember you threatened to turn them into human pretzels if you ever caught them picking on me again, then they ran for their lives." Luna finished, basking in Lori's embrace and caressing the arms encasing her in love.

"Then you were back to your normal self, and we became closer than before, you even wanted to sleep with me that night. Then I became little miss dictator, and ruined our relationship, and made the others distance themselves from me. You all went to Leni, or the others going to you with their problems, or going straight to mom and dad. Yes, that hurt, but I was too foolish to realise that it was all my fault, being more a parent than a big sister." Lori lamented with a somber expression.

"Don't be like that, sis. You have changed for the better. The others and I all look up to you, as an example of a truly caring, and responsible big sister, and friend. Lincoln now volunteers to caddy for you. Things were falling apart that time you moved into the garage. We need you, sis, and love you very much."

"Thanks, Luna, that means a lot."

After a few moments of silence, the two decided to get out of the tub, then dried off. Instead of getting into their pajamas, they decided to stay as they were. After brushing their teeth and taking care of other business in the bathroom, they got into bed, and continued their conversation.

"You know, sis, speaking of concerts, I believe that one day I will be seeing Luna Loud up there on stage, bringing down the house. I am so proud of you with how far you have come with your talent. I remember that shy little girl you used to be. What a transformation just because you found your calling. Also, I am so glad to see the caring young woman you have grown into. Leni told me about the time you were there for her after she dealt with some bullies. That was far from the first time she has experienced that. Thank you for being there for her in my place. I am so proud of you, sis."

"No prob, if only people would take time to know Leni for the sweet, caring person she is, they would love her as much as we do. And I expect to see your name on the top of the leaderboards at LPGA events very soon!"

"We'll see!" said Lori, stretching her arms. It's late, let's get some sleep. Good night, little sis, I love you."

"I love you, too, big sis." said Luna, the two sharing a kiss, then closing their eyes, soon to drift off to sweet dreamland.

*Wow, my first write up since September of 2018! I have had several ideas for other stories, but nothing ever came to fruition. Not sure if I will come up with another one soon or not.
