Fang plopped down on the sofa next to her sister who was busy watching TV and playing with her phone.
"How was work?" She asked draping her arm over the girls slender shoulders and pulling her close. "You been home long?".
"Why? Feeling guilty?" Vanille asked with a smirk pulling at her sisters cheek. Fang shoed her hands away laughing.
"A little. Sorry I was out later than I thought I'd be"
Vanille felt a small well of guilt pool in her stomach at her sisters dispirited expression. After all she didn't really mind Fang's absence, she was always busy with work or friends and though the brunette wasn't one to stay house bound she preferred her own company, even when on her wanderings. The fact she was actively engaging with someone was nice. Though Vanille had her doubts about this woman and her stability, she couldn't deny that Fang had seemed happier recently, enthusiastic even.
"It's fine. I've only been back about an hour" Vanille snuggled into their embrace "does this mean you had a good time?"
"I..." Fang scratched the back of her head nervously "Actually I did. It was simple, but nice"
"Does that mean she accepted the food then?" Vanille beamed up at her.
"With a little persuasion" the brunette winked.
"Good for you Fang. You should invite her over"
"Maybe. But one step at a time, yea?"
Serah was leaning against the wall when Lightning came home, all smiles and expectations.
"Soooo...did you see her again?" She smiled.
And in that moment Lightning's stomach turned. The smile was sly and she knew the person before her was no longer her little sister.
"I..." Lightning faltered in her surprise.
"Oh, you did" Lumina stepped close into her personal space. "Didn't you?" The malice was obvious now. Lightning looked down.
"I hope you're not falling for her. What would we do without you?" Lumina whined in a voice full of mock distress.
"I'm not" Lightning protested glaring at the imitation of her sister.
"You're a liar" Lumina held her gaze without a flicker.
"I'm...not"
"Really?" The girl snickered. "Then what's her name"
"..."
"Say it" Lumina pressed as Lightning stayed silent.
"I-"
"Say it!"
"Fang" Lightning managed weakly.
"Say it again" Lumina demanded.
"Fang! Her name is Fang!" Lightning screamed out. Her anger coming to the surface.
"I can practically feel your longing from here. It's disgusting" Lumina chirped merrily.
Lightning dug her finger nails into her palms as she felt her eyes begin to glaze.
The girls face softened.
"Why not just fuck her and she can be done with you Sis?" she whispered. "You know your just a pretty face to her, right?"
The older sister refused to answer.
"I mean what else could you possibly be with all this...damage" Lumina gestured in the air. "Or is it baggage?" She raised an eyebrow.
"On second thoughts why not both?" she giggled.
