NIRVANA

Another week passed by and both lovestruck lovebirds had yet to make the first move towards an actual confession. Both had a different aura about them. It felt like they knew, no, they absolutely knew, but for some odd reason they would dance around the main topic and simply took joy in this little game of theirs they have created. Lacy and Lupa urged Lemy to stop messing around and take it a step further with Lyra. They were right about it, but Lemy didn't want to rush it. This was an actual brewing romance between them and unlike his other sisters whom he would just get down and dirty with, Lemy wanted to fully experience genuine romantic love with her even if they have yet to seal the deal. One can say that he was in love with feeling in love and the same would most certainly be said for Lyra.

Lacy and Lupa were currently walking back from school and discussing the situation in hand regarding both their older siblings. Lemy who would regularly join them was left behind to attend after school detention for some dumb reason.

"It's getting annoying you know?" Lupa took a drag from her cigarette, "It was cute at first, but those two need to get it on already."

"All good things come at their given time." Lacy said.

"I mean come on. It's so fucking obvious that Lyra wants to suck his dick. Why is Lemy taking his sweet ass time? He never did that with us. Just grab her face and french kiss the fuck out of her." Lupa was now expressing her frustration with both hands, waving them dramatically in the air.

"It's actually very romantic. Watching them two waltz in a silent dance of love and passion." Lacy fluttered her eyes while Lupa rolled her's in response.

Whatever. If they kept stalling Lupa might seriously reconsider going back on her word and pin her brother on a wall and reignite their sexual misadventures. Not going to lie, Lupa was feeling a bit anxious not having had any sex since they had ended their no strings attached relationship. Lacy had an easier time, all the sports she partook in during and after is probably keeping away all the carnal urges at bay. Perhaps it was time for Lupa to actually search for a proper boyfriend to spend time with. The thought was foreign to her, after all she had been having incestuous sex with her own brother and sister too whenever he wasn't around or all three were involved, but maybe it was time for a change, a healthy one at best.

As the two walked down streets of the suburbs a familiar vehicle approached them up ahead. The driver took notice of them and slowed down close to the girls for them to recognize the occupant.

"Hey Lyra!" Lacy happily waved at her sister.

"Sup" Lupa said, cigarette still in mouth.

Lyra rolled down the window allowing the music of the radio to burst out into the open, "Hey guys how was school?"

"It was great."

"Boring as shit."

Lyra chuckles at them and leans over from the driver's door, "Where's Lemy at? Wait...is he in detention?"

"You're damn right he is." Lupa pointed both fingers at her and clicked her tongue.

Lyra rolled her eyes, she shouldn't be that surprised at the fact, Lemy had always carried a history of receiving disciplinary action no matter what. Some things didn't change at all during her time away. She'll have to scold him when he gets back home. Just another excuse to be near him of course, something that she is constantly doing now. It had become blatantly obvious just how close they had become, but she kept on tiptoeing that fine line with him despite her inner protests.

"You girls want to ride with me? Save you the walk." Lyra suggested.

"I know somebody that definitely wants to ride you." Lupa muttered under her breath with a smirk.

"No, we're good!" Lacy subtly stepped on her sister's foot to shut her up.

"Okay then. I was heading to the pharmacy to pick up some medication for Aunt Lucy anyway. I don't really want to know what she's cooking in her black cauldron." Lyra chuckled as Lupa rolled her eyes.

"Maybe you can pick up Lemy on the way back." Lacy beamed a huge smile, "He will sure appreciate his big sister's kindness towards him."

Lyra looked away at the road ahead with a smile, silently agreeing with the idea. More quality time together and just them together made it even better. Looking on both sisters got her right where they had hoped for. If Lemy was being too slow then they would gladly speed up the process for them both and see them get together. One step at a time, even if said steps were a damn mile wide.

"Guess I'll just do that then." Lyra mused as she shifted the car back to drive, "Take care now."

"Also don't you girls be talking to weirdos, strangers and…certain...guys...I mean it." Lyra's attitude got weirdly serious before taking off.

Lacy waved her goodbye while Lupa raised an eyebrow at the oddly out of place ominous warning from her elder sister. Going back on their walk both girls kept on conversing, well, Lacy did most of the talking while Lupa would half listen and just stare at the streets up ahead. She kept wondering what exactly was up with Lyra. The gothic teen had made it clear that she still wasn't going to fully embrace Lyra that easily as everyone else quickly did, but as things turned out right then and there she truly felt bothered by the exchange between them. Of course Lupa knew better than to get lured in by creeps and assholes, but the way Lyra said it, it just felt wrong and for all the hells in this godforsaken earth she couldn't place a finger on it.

An idea manifested on her mind. Just as lightning it appeared out of nowhere and it inhabited her mind for split second, but not enough for her to consider it as fact. Lucky for her, Lacy blew away her mindset back to reality.

"Lupa! Why do you always ignore my sports analysis on basketball." She whined.

"Yeah, yeah...go...who the fuck reps Michigan again?" Lupa asked.

"Nevermind." Lacy frowned.

Lupa once more rolled her eyes and both walked in silence. Thinking back to Lyra and Lemy, Lupa got bothered again, but for a different reason now. After all it had been weeks since they last did it. Lighting up another cigarette she puffed some smoke as another wicked idea came to fruition.

"Hey Lacy?"

"Yeah?"

"Wanna fuck?"

Sometime Later…

The high school was must up ahead and Lyra had turned into a massive trainwreck and hyperventilated the closer she drove to his location. She was not expecting to do this, she had no idea why she had done what she earlier did. But knowing that Lemy was about to ride alongside her and it would just be them two for the whole ride was driving her over the edge. As she waited for the green light to appear Lyra thought back to the pharmacy and the hasty and borderline knee jerk reaction to her current predicament.

As she had acquired the cough syrup and sleeping pills for Lucy, absentmindedly lingered about in the aisles searching for nothing in particular, just killing time. Reaching the end of the last aisle next to the entrance she froze on her tracks and stared with pure wonder at the section containing all the sexual health products. Her eyes scanned every single product on sale with a hint of excitement and keen interest.

Her eyes landed on the rack holding the many boxes of different branded condoms. Her heart pounded faster and her breath lost control as she imagined what size Lemy might fit, if Lemy would fit in her. Lyra felt extremely light headed at that very moment and her vision began to blur out. Her legs almost gave out, but thankfully leaned against the wall and held her strength as her mind raced into a well known territory. Lyra felt flustered and her cheeks began to burn up as she eyed the small boxes.

A honk from behind brought her back to reality as the light had already changed green for a while now.

Parking in front of the building, Lyra nervously fidgeting about in her seat. Not even the music on the radio was enough to fully calm her down as she waited for the boy she loved to exit the building and approach her. While waiting she reached into her back pocket and pulled out a box of condoms; the source of her current anxiety.

"Why the fuck…?" Lyra eyed the box incredulously.

Why on earth did she actually go along with the purchase of said item in question? The fuck is happening to her? Was she that desperate for him, were her nightly sessions of masterbation no longer enough to satisfy her anymore? Even in her dreams where they both went all the way were nothing but an illusion of sexual frustration.

"It's not like...we'll ever…" Lyra was so red from the face at that thought alone.

"Hey Lyra." Lemy tapped on the window.

Lyra's soul left her body at that very moment.

"Can you unlock the door please?"

The ride back home was extremely quiet. Lyra refused to utter a single word and kept her vision directly focused on the road and rearview mirrors. Lemy on the other hand felt awkward with the silence, the air was just heavy between them and he hadn't a clue as to what had triggered it. Just a few more blocks and they would be arriving home. Unfortunately it didn't seem like that would change much as Lyra kept on ignoring, but not in a malicious way of course. Looking at her she appeared distraught, something must be pestering her mind for her to be acting like this.

"So...everything good?" Lemy asked.

"Mmhm." She responded, still focused on the road.

"Uh, okay then." She was definitely not okay.

Not even ten seconds had passed before, Lemy asked again.

"You sure you're okay?"

"Damn it I'm fucking fine Lemy!" Lyra snapped.

That was unexpected of her and he didn't have a clue how to respond to such an outburst, especially from her of all people. Lyra remained focused on the road as Lemy sat bewildered at all of this. What was going on with her? This was out of character for her given how they both have been feeling as of lately.

"Lyra stop the car."

"What? Why?"

"Stop the damn car, Lyra." He demanded.

Lyra finally looked at him and he meant it. A cold sweat poured down her neck as she obeyed and parked down a wide alleyway for some privacy between the two. Lyra mentally checked all her boxes for this conversation, not feeling any confidence with herself. Lemy just looked out the window before sighing and turning to her.

"Hey...you can trust me on anything. What's got you like this?" He told her.

Lyra said nothing. Her eyes were full of regret and sorrow, he didn't like it, it did not fit her, she should never be sad. She remained quiet, her lips parted ways, but no actual noise would emit from her. She was being very hesitant at explaining whatever it was that troubled her. She really didn't want to be in this situation, with him even more specifically after the foolish purchase she had recently made. The air had become thick and it was getting harder to breathe inside the vehicle, Lyra had the words in her head, the exact words she wishes to tell him, but the blood pressure building inside of her was giving her a mass headache.

"Lemy...I…" Lyra barely got out a complete sentence as her brother looked on, worried about her.

"I...need you...to know…" At this point Lyra's entire body began to shake as her speech got more hectic as well.

Lemy leaned over and placed a hand on hers gaining her full attention, "Lyra...it's okay. I care about you. You are...everything to me. I don't want to ever see you this way, please speak to me."

Lyra's heart was in overdrive and her thoughts were overwhelming her with intense emotions. The more he spoke the more she lost herself, everything she ever wanted, ever needed and always belonged to was that kid in front of her. Her eyes unable to look anywhere else except into his own, eyes as beautiful as her own. The smile he gives her is just the icing on the cake for her as her heart beats even faster than before. But behind that smile of his there was a deep sense of agitation for the teenager, for he too was caught in a very compromising position with the girl he truly loved. Was it time? Was this it? The moment of truth and revelations for them both? Lemy too began to quake as his nerves took over his own body and he could only look back at her with the same tension in both their faces.

"Lyra, I too...want you to...know something." Lemy's throat suddenly became dry as he attempted to finally let his feelings known.

"I...when I say this, I mean it. I mean this words with all my heart...because it's about you. It's about us." He continued as the tension between the two was beyond comprehensible.

"...Lemy." Lyra spoke his name in pure awe, but said nothing further, for she was so deeply lost in his eyes, smile, kindness and beauty.

Leaning closer, Lemy breathed heavily as he built up all the courage within him, summoned all of his willpower to make the what follows afterwards possible. Breaking eye contact and looking down on their tangled hands he gave one final exhale before looking back up with determination. He was ready to confess,whatever happens next let fate decide. Yet fate took a backseat as the unexpected happened out of nowhere.

Before Lemy could open his mouth, Lyra lounged at him, grabbed his face with both hands and deeply kissed him with all her strength and energy.

"Mmph?" Lemy was shocked at what was happening as his lips meshed with his sister's.

Lyra was all in and refused to back down. This wasn't soft and slow, she was desperately savoring him whole, almost afraid to never get another chance ever again. Even if Lemy tried to back away she had him in a tight hold as her lips continued to savor his taste. Once the shock was down Lemy's inner instincts took over and he too put his hands on around her waist and face and embraced the passionate kiss she had started.

Their first ever kiss and it was by far the greatest feeling either had ever felt in their lives, the hunger and desire of both for each other was addictive and pleasurable.

The intensity was melting them both from the inside. Lemy hugged her tighter as Lyra pressed harder into his mouth and explored every centimeter of skin possible. The heat of their bodies was radiating so strong that sweat was being produced and the windows started to fog up a little. This was absolute nirvana for them both, a drug that they were experiencing for the first time with favorable results. Eventually both pulled away to catch their much needed breaths after that lustful assault.

Lemy breather hard and fast, his face twitching with excitement and eagerness for more, a hint of hue across his face. Lyra had almost sucked the soul out from him due to her voracious need for him. Lyra on her part experienced the highest elevation that her mind and soul could possibly reach. Her too, breathing fast, panting hard and looking just as messy as he did, synch energy depleted from their sudden make out.

He was in heaven. It had happened, it had finally happened.

She had accepted him. Loved him.

More in control of his breathing he felt his heart swell up with love and joy. Lemy gave her a loving smile, but something wasn't right on her behalf.

Lyra didn't smile back. In fact she was having an opposite effect now that the clarity returned to her mind. Her expression was troubling, she appeared scared or even regretful. Lemy's smile slowly disappeared as she started to crack under her own guilt. Her eyes produced tears as her sobs became loud for him to hear. His heart broke as she started to sob, the whole time looking at him with those heartbroken eyes filled with pain.

"Lyra?" He reached out to her.

"I'm sorry…" She cried.

She backed away from him until touching the door, "I'm so sorry! I...arghh.!" Lyra reached for the door handle and immediately excited out the car and ran down the alley, leaving Lemy behind in utter shock.

"Lyra!"

Exiting the car, he chased after her.

She had a head start, but Lemy was just as fast, managing to be right behind her. Yet Lyra refused to slow down as she took a sharp turn across the street. Lemy shouted out for her, hoping she would listen and stop, but she was still going. He could either catch up to her or tire her out, either way he needed to speak to her, embrace her, tell her that everything is going to be okay between them. Lyra kept on running, almost tripping a few times, but still outpacing Lemy by a few meters. Her face was a mess of painful emotions as she allowed her tears to wash her face. Lemy kept on following shouting for her to stop, but she couldn't. Her guilt and shame was too strong for her rationality to take over. She couldn't face him after that.

After doing that to him.

"Lyra, please stop!" Lemy cried out for her.

Both brother and sister had been running for sometime now, both very far away from their car. A wooden area of the town was reached with only a long bicycle trail on the side of the empty road. Lyra was losing her stamina and huffed out short raspy breaths, unable to carry on any further. Lemy wasn't that far behind her although he too was feeling the pain on his sides after sucking in too much air while chasing after her. Up ahead was a small resting spot with a bench and water fountain and apparently the end of the line for this chase of theirs.

Lyra finally lost her energy and collapsed to her knees.

Lemy halted behind her, also catching his breath.

Looking at her, he felt his heart drop. It was hurting him to see her hurting. Lyra remained on her knees, bowing down in exhaustion. Taking a step closer to her he carefully thought out his words, not wanting to upset her any further and resume a chase that had already claimed his strength for the whole day. She was no longer crying, but again she must be so out of breath to even muster one more single tear from her eye glands.

"Hey." His raspy voice caught her attention.

Before she could even move her body was engulfed by his arms as he hugged her from behind after kneeling down as well. Lyra gasped at his warm touch, how was it possible to feel so safe around him? Never had she felt so in peace even after such a dramatic turn of events.

"Please don't run." He begged her, "Please...stay with me. Lyra, I need you. I have always needed you. I will never leave you. As long as I'm here you'll never be alone again, both of us will, ever again."

"I don't... deserve you. I'm fucked up." She cried.

"I loved it." Lemy confessed still not letting go of her, "I'm glad it happened, I'm so happy right now, because my heart doesn't hurt anymore. Now I know that you feel the same as I do. Lyra, I love you. Please be mine because I want to be yours."

Lyra placed a hand on his and allowed him to graze her face with his own. Her emotional state of mind is much calmer than before. The butterflies within her flutter in a frenzy at his close proximity and declaration of love. She was truly in love with him and now understood just how afraid she was. With a lucid smile she caressed his face and turned around to face him. With love in their eyes they mentally understood each other's feelings and silently agreed with the future they had just created.

"I love you too." Lyra replied, "Lemy, I love you so much. Be mine forever."

Both closed their eyes and sealed their love with a tender kiss. Their love, one that was years in the making, one that had been clouded by fear of rejection and worry for each other had finally been fulfilled. The love was real. If they could cry they would at that very moment, but this intimacy was far superior.

This sinful love was all they ever wanted and it was now all theirs to carry forever.
