Full Summary:

As the title suggests, this will be lemon heavy. But I intend for at least half of this story to be dedicated to plot. So... please enjoy either (or both) half of the story. I'll make it clear if a chapter can be skipped because it's not directly relevant to the plot by making the chapter title "Character x Character" if it's just a lemon chapter, so feel free to skip those if it they're not your thing. Said lemons will also be following hentai logic, so... you've been warned.
Without further rambling, here's the prologue.
April 6, 2012
Kazuto had never been alone before.
His little sister, Suguha, had always been with him. Even when she wasn't right next to him, like when they went to bed, she was still right there. If she needed him because of a bad dream, or if he needed her after their grandfather yelled at him again, they were only moments away from each other.
But Suguha wasn't with him now. She had been too young to come with him. He hadn't realized it until they were given a break, but it had finally hit him. He was completely alone. Even with a class full of other kids his age, he was still completely alone.
Everyone in class had already formed groups. They all seemed to already know each other, but he didn't know any of them. And because he didn't know any of them, it felt wrong to barge into any of the groups. The only thing he could really think to do at this point was to take a nap to pass the time just a little bit faster.
He took one last glance around the room as he folded his arms to lay his head down. There was that loud group of boys that were laughing at something, that group of girls that were talking, that blonde girl that was staring at him, that other group of boys with one of them shouting something, and that group of... that blonde girl was staring at him?
Kazuto was sure nobody else was left out. When he first realized how everyone else seemed to already know each other, he looked around for anyone else left out. But... had he missed the blonde girl? With her blonde hair and her blue eyes, it seemed unlikely that he had, but... he didn't remember her, so maybe she had been behind someone, or was somewhere else at the time? That wasn't important. What was important was that the girl was still staring at Kazuto. And after he held eye contact for a few moments, she smiled at him.
After glancing around to make sure that she really was looking at him, he gave a tentative smile back, unsure of what else to do. That seemed to do the trick though, as she marched right up to his desk immediately after he returned the smile.
All thoughts of taking a nap left him as he lifted his head off his arms and looked up at the blonde girl just a few feet away. Not exactly sure what to do or say, as he'd never started a conversation with a stranger his own age before, Kazuto started off with a quiet, "Um... hi?"
The girl smiled again and said, "Hi! I'm Alice! Want to be friends?"
He blinked, then slowly smiled again as well. "Sure! I'm Kazuto!" And just like that, he didn't feel alone anymore.
Alice and Kazuto spent the rest of the school day together. And after school, they even made plans to play at a nearby park once they brought along their younger siblings. He was introduced to Alice's little sister Selka, who was only a year younger than Alice, and after he introduced Suguha to them, they played with each other until they needed to leave.
And that was how most days went for the four for almost six years. Playing together, laughing together, and even training together at a local kendo dojo. The four were almost inseparable. If only those days could've lasted forever...

Kazuto wasn't sure where it all went wrong.
One day, he was doing practice matches with Alice, Selka, and Suguha. That was just what they did when they hung out at the Kirigaya residence. Kazuto still wasn't able to convince Alice and Selka to play video games at his house, but he understood why they refused. Their father wouldn't let them have games of their own, so they didn't want to know what they were missing. It sucked, but it was what it was. They all enjoyed moving their bodies and playing with each other anyways, so it was fine.
But... later that day, as they were getting ready to go home, Alice and Selka told them that this would be one of the last times they'd see each other. Their father had gotten a new job in a different city, and they had to move right away. They didn't want the last day they could do this to be sad, which is why they put off telling them until the end of the day. They all teared up afterwards, but it couldn't be helped.
Later that day, he received a second shock. He needed something to distract himself from the fact that Alice and Selka were moving away, so he had looked into something he had always been a little bit bothered by. He was only six months older than Suguha. Whenever he tried to bring the topic up, his parents always dodged the question, so he had finally decided to find the answer on his own.
He was adopted. He wasn't a complete stranger to them, but he only shared blood with Suguha and one of his parents. Or... one of her parents?
Was that... why his grandfather had beaten him so often? Because he wasn't really related by blood? If... Midori... was the person he was related to... then... Minetaka... was his uncle in law. That would make his grandfather his grandfather in law... Which... honestly explained a lot. It didn't explain why the old man had beaten Kazuto whenever he set him off, but it explained why the old man never touched Suguha.
And Suguha... was his cousin. She wasn't his little sister... and he wasn't her Onii-chan...
Should he tell Suguha? How would he treat her from then on? How would he treat their... her parents from then on? Would he continue to pretend that they were his mother and father? Should he tell them that he knew the truth? That he knew that he wasn't really their son? Could he ever trust them again after this? Could he still trust Suguha? Did she really... not know? Was she just waiting for him to figure it out so she could laugh at him for not realizing it sooner...? Was she really who he thought she was...?
He couldn't answer even one of those questions before the day the Zuberg sisters moved, which was this day. He needed to talk to someone about what he found out, but he didn't want to burden Alice or Selka, so he kept quiet. Just like they wanted the last day they could play and train together as happy as possible, he wanted to keep the day they were leaving as happy as possible. What did it matter that his world was crumbling all around him, if he could see them smile just one more time if he didn't tell them?
How Alice and Selka had convinced their strict father to stop by on their way out of town, he didn't know. What he did know however, was that from the look on his face, they didn't have that long. Alice and Selka knew it too, so they rushed over from the car as soon as it came to a stop.
Kazuto wasn't sure what he was expecting, but the two of them tackling him to the ground in a hug wasn't one of them. He struggled to move his arms from where they were pinned by each sister, but eventually he managed to wrap his arms around the two of them to return the hug. "I'll miss you, Kazuto," he heard Alice whisper from his right.
"I'll miss you too, Kazu-nii," Selka added immediately after.
Kazu-nii... was what Selka had come to call him. They weren't related by blood, but she saw him as an older brother. Was that... enough? Did that apply to how he should be seeing his adopted family...? Kazuto mentally shook his head. He could ponder that later. For now... he had to see the sisters off. And breathe. "I'll miss both of you as well," he wheezed out.
Quickly realizing their mistake, both girls scrambled to get off of him. Their combined weight was just too much for the twelve year old to handle. Both blushing, they left him to stand on his own while they pulled Suguha into a much more normal group hug.
"I'll really miss you, Alice-nee... Selka..." Suguha said through her tears. Alice and Selka were crying again already as well, and... nobody saw him wipe his own tears, so they couldn't prove anything.
Their impatient father chose that moment to blow his car's horn, clearly signaling for the girls to hurry it up. He saw them both frown, and Alice even shot him a surprisingly sharp glare, but they had no choice but to finish up. Alice and Selka pulled him into one more hug, squeezing the air out of him once more, and he tried his best to return it as best he could. One last watery smile was shared between them before they both turned back to the waiting car.
They couldn't even keep in contact because of their father and his refusal to let his children near electronics, so... he wasn't sure when he would see them again. Or even if... Kazuto shook his head at that thought. He would see them again. Even if he had to track them down himself, he would see them again.
Author's Notes:
There's not a ton here, but this is just the prologue. It's... honestly a little rushed, but I wanted to get it out before the day ended, so... yeah. I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I'll probably update it again in the coming days, as well as add a second chapter. That might get delayed until after the 15th though, so I can't say for sure.
Tata~
