Chapter 8

17 stared at the giant hickey on 18's neck and smirked. "So the mini monk took your virginity?"

18 flushed bright red. "Shut up!"

17 laughed. "If we were still human I would have to kill him but I think you are more than capable of killing him if he wrongs you."

18's face was so red she thought she was feverish. "Shut up before he hears you."

17 glanced over at Krillin who was currently buying ice cream for them. "You did quite a number on him too," 17 said teasingly pointing to the scratches and bruises all over his exposed arms and neck.

"I broke him," 18 said covering her face in embarrassment.

17 paused then burst out laughing. "Like literally?"

"I cracked two of his ribs," 18 said peeking through her hands. "When we get to Japan he will take a sensu bean."

17 laughed loudly.

"Shut up!"

"He's handling it like a man," 17 teased grabbing his stomach as he laughed so hard it hurt.

"17 Shut the fuck up or I will beat your ass," 18 said gripping his shirt threateningly.

"Okay okay I'm just messing," 17 said. "Actually no regular human man was gonna be able to handle you sis. If anyone can handle you it's him."

"What do you mean handle?"

17 snorted. "You know, like physically."

"I'm stronger than him."

"Yes but he is strong enough to not get killed by being with you," 17 said. "You'll just need to keep sensu beans nearby until you learn to control your strength in those passionate moments."

18 cocked an eyebrow at him. "Can you?"

"Yes I can," 17 said with a proud grin. "Unlike you I did sleep with many girls when were human."

"What? Who?"

"When I went out working," 17 said. "And in that mansion you remember the sexy raven haired maid?"

18 laughed. "Oh Kami 17."

17 just grinned. "After I just came back after the Cell games and travelled to other places I hooked up with a few girls. I had a girlfriend in England for a while but it didn't work out."

"You've been with regular humans?" 18 said eyes wide. "And you didn't kill them?"

17 shook his head. "You gotta control your power. Nothing a little uh...training won't fix."

18 flushed again. "Shut up!"

The raven-haired passed right in front of Lapis and winked at him before disappearing into the other room. Lazuli was completely oblivious but Lapis couldn't wipe the smug smile off his face. He was about to excuse himself to go meet her in the basement where they usually met when they heard the front door open.

Lamel bounded into the room with a giant grin on his face. He had just returned from boarding school for the weekend and the twins immediately jumped off the couch to go greet him.

"Bro!" Lapis said hugging the 8 year old boy to his chest way too tightly.

Lamel flailed and fought against him. "Get off jerk!" Lamel cried flapping his arms.

Lazuli tugged Lapis away and said, "don't be an ass Lapis."

Lapis laughed. "I'm just doing my big brother duty of effectively messing with my siblings. If I'm not teasing you or messing with you there's something wrong."

Lazuli snorted. "Dumbass."

She hugged Lamel who hugged her waist. He was getting tall. She was at her chest already. He would be taller than both of them no doubt.

From his back he pulled out a large poster board that was folded up and opened it. Lamel grinned brightly and said, "happy birthday!"

Lazuli laughed as she saw the large collage of pictures he had put together of all of them together. Pictures of them as children all the way until current time we're organized with colors and magazine clippings. It was a beautiful work of art.

Both twins had noticed Lamel's natural talent for art. He was awful at martial arts but visual arts he was outstanding.

"That's so awesome bro!" Lapis said taking the poster board and looking it over.

Lazuli hugged him tightly. "Thank you Lamel."

"My two favorite people are turning 18 today," Lamel said with a bright smile. "I had to make you something. I've been working on it for a few months now."

"We will hang it right here," Lapis said putting against an empty space on the wall.

"And cherish it forever," Lazuli said taking Lamel's hand. "I think we should celebrate with icecream!"

"Yay!" Lamel cried.

"Our favorites," Lapis said. "Chocolate for Lamel..."

XXXXXXXX

"Here we go," Krillin said setting down the icecream bowls. "Vanilla for 17 and Butter Pecan for 18."

17 looked at 18 I'm surprise and 18 shrugged shyly.

"I was able to get you guys a small cruise around the bay," Krillin said handing them tickets. "You should have private brother and sister time, I'll stay here."

17 took the tickets. "That's thoughtful thanks."

Krillin just smiled and said, "happy birthday."

XXXXXXXXX

"You love him don't you?" 17 said leaning over the railing of the ship and glancing at 18.

18 bit her lip shyly. "Yes I do."

"How long have you known?"

"I don't know," 18 answered. "But I know I've been spending every day with him for months and I can't imagine my life without him."

17 sighed deeply. "It is what it is then. I hope you find happiness with him."

"I don't know what's gonna happen with him."

"You'll be together," 17 said with certainty. "He loves you. Everyone can see that from the fucking moon. He would die for you."

"You think?"

"Don't you know?"

18 paused. "I told him yesterday about the first time we killed."

17 shifted uncomfortably. "I don't like to think about that."

"Me neither," 18 said. "But Krillin understood and told me he loved me anyways."

17 grinned. "I really like that guy."

AN: Okay guys, thank you so much for reading. I'm at a crossroads right now because I'm unsure what to do and I would like to hear your opinions. I have one more chapter written that does a giant time skip and it's like an epilogue, but I am willing to write a few more chapters to bridge that time skip. What do you guys think? Reviews are greatly appreciated!
