Aurora sat at her desk, her head propped up on her hands as she stared blankly at the chalkboard. Her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions, and she struggled to focus on the lecture that was taking place.
Xayah, sitting next to her, couldn't help but notice the change in her friend. Aurora had always been bright and focused. But in the past few weeks, she had been quieter, more withdrawn. Something was clearly bothering her.
"Hey, Aurora," Xayah said softly, leaning over to whisper in her ear. "Are you okay? You've seemed really down lately."
Aurora turned to look at her friend, a sad smile playing at the corners of her mouth. "I'm fine, Xayah," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "Just a lot on my mind, that's all."
Xayah frowned, her eyes filled with concern. "Is it because of Gwen?" she asked, her voice low. "Did something happen between you two?"
Aurora's eyes widened in shock, her heart leaping into her throat at the mention of her sister's name. "What... what do you mean?" she stammered, her voice shaking slightly. "Why would you say that?"
Xayah reached out, taking her friend's hand in her own and squeezing it tightly. "Aurora, I know you better than anyone," she said, her voice filled with reassurance. "I can see that something's wrong. And I think it has something to do with your sister."
Aurora felt tears welling up in her eyes as she looked into her friend's caring gaze. She wanted so badly to confide in Xayah, to unburden herself of the secret that had been weighing on her for weeks. But she was scared, scared of what her friend might think, of how she might judge her.
The bell rang, signaling the end of class. As the other students filed out of the room, Aurora and Xayah gathered up their things and made their way to the door.
"Hey, listen," Xayah said, stopping Aurora with a hand on her arm. "Why don't we grab some lunch together? We can talk more, just the two of us."
Xayah and Aurora sat down at their usual table in the cafeteria, their trays filled with the day's lunch offerings. Xayah looked at her friend, her eyes filled with concern and curiosity.
"So, are you finally going to tell me what's been bothering you?" she asked, her voice gentle but firm. "You've been moping around for weeks now, and I know it has something to do with Gwen."
Aurora sighed, pushing her food around on her plate with her fork. She knew that she couldn't keep avoiding the subject forever, but she still wasn't sure how to broach the topic with her best friend.
"I... I don't know where to start, Xayah," she said finally, her voice filled with a mix of frustration and concern. "It's just... it's complicated."
Xayah raised an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Complicated, huh?" she said, a teasing smile playing at the corners of her mouth. "Is this about your little crush on your sister? Haven't you finally snapped out of it?"
Aurora's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, her eyes darting away from her friend's gaze. "It's not a crush, Xayah," she said, her voice defensive. "And it's not little. I... I have feelings for her. Real feelings."
Xayah's eyes widened in surprise, her mouth falling open slightly as she processed her friend's confession. "WTF, Aurora," she said, her voice filled with a mix of awe and disbelief. "I mean, i knew you were always behind her like a little puppy. But... but that's crazy. You and Gwen, you're sisters."
Aurora nodded, her eyes filling with tears as she looked at her friend. "I know, Xayah," she said, her voice choked with emotion. "Believe me, I know. But I can't help how I feel. I love her, Xayah. I love her more than anything."
Xayah reached out, taking her friend's hand in her own and squeezing it tightly. "Oh, Aurora," she said, her voice filled with sympathy and understanding. "I've always thought that you would finally snap out of it and look for someone else. I mean, you know it's impossible. She will never return your feelings"
Aurora smiled softly "Actually... she kind of did..." Xayah spilled her beverage "What do you mean she "kind of did...? Did she told you something"
Aurora stood in silence, adverting the gaze from Xayah "Aurey... what did happen? did you talked to her"
"kind of..." Aurora replied
"Did you kissed her?" Aurora got as red as a tomato in front of her best friend "Kind o..."
"Spill it up gal, another Kind of from you and i'm gonna slap you." Xayah murmured to her.
"I can't Xayah, It's too difficult for me!" the redhead replied, trying to make her friend understand
"I will ask you, and you will just nod if yes or not. Did you talked to your sister?" Aurora nodded affirmatively
"Did you confessed to her?" Aurora nodded again, each time getting more blushed
"OMFG Aurey!" Xayah blinked in surprise, her eyes widening as she leaned back in her seat. "Aurora, are you sure about this? Gwen... she's your sister. And she's always been so closed off, so distant. I can't imagine her returning your feelings."
Aurora nodded, a small smile playing on her lips. "I know it sounds crazy, Xayah. But I swear, when we were alone together, it felt... different. She held me, comforted me, and for a moment, I saw something in her eyes. Something I've never seen before."
"So you confessed, she accepted you and then what? did you kissed her?" Aurora stood in silence, but her expression was an open book
Xayah's eyes widened in shock as she leaned in closer to Aurora, her voice barely above a whisper. "You mean to tell me that Gwen actually... kissed you back?"
Aurora nodded, her cheeks flushing pink at the memory. "Well, yeah, we did a lot of... kissing. We definetly kissed"
"A lot of kissing? Girl please, i hope this does not mean something else. Right?" Only silence came from Aurora. "Right? Aurey? Nothing else, Right? Girl please, your silence is worrying me"
Aurora was about to respond when she noticed a flash of movement out of the corner of her eye. She turned to see Rakan, Xayah's brother, walking towards their table, a smirk on his face.
"Well, well, well," he said, his voice filled with mocking amusement. "What do we have here? The two nerds, talking about their crushes?"
Aurora's eyes widened in shock, her heart leaping into her throat as she realized that Rakan had overheard their conversation. She looked at Xayah, her expression a mix of fear and embarrassment.
But Xayah just rolled her eyes, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. "Oh, shut up, Rakan," she said, her voice filled with mocking amusement. "At least Aurora has the guts to admit her feelings. Unlike some people I know."
Rakan's smirk faltered for a moment, a flicker of uncertainty crossing his face. "What's that supposed to mean?" he asked, his voice defensive.
Xayah leaned back in her chair, a knowing look in her eye. "Oh, I think you know exactly what it means, big brother," she said, her voice filled with a mix of mockery and anger. "I know all about those pictures you keep hidden under your bed. The ones of me."Rakan's face turned beet red, his eyes widening in shock as he realized that Xayah knew about the secret photos he had been keeping of her. He stumbled over his words, trying to come up with a response, but Xayah just smirked at him, clearly enjoying his discomfort.
"Xayah, I... I can explain," he stammered, his voice filled with a mix of embarrassment and desperation. "Those pictures, they're not what you think."
Xayah raised an eyebrow, her expression skeptical. "Oh really?" she said, her voice filled with a mocking amusement. "Then why don't you tell me what they are, big brother? Because from where I'm standing, it looks like you've been stalking me."
Rakan's face flushed even redder, his eyes darting around the cafeteria as he tried to avoid the curious glances of their classmates. "I... I haven't been stalking you," he said, his voice defensive. "I just... I care about you, Xayah. More than I should."
Xayah's expression softened slightly at her brother's confession, a flicker of hope sparking in her eyes. "You do?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
But before Rakan could respond, a loud voice boomed across the cafeteria, cutting off their conversation.
"Rakan, get your ass over here!" Coach Lee Sin barked, his voice filled with impatience. "We've got a game to win, and I need you on the field, not flirting with your sister."
Rakan sighed, running a hand through his hair in frustration. "I have to go," he said, his eyes meeting Xayah's for a brief moment before he turned and walked away.
Xayah watched him go, a mix of disappointment and longing washing over her. She knew that they had left their conversation unfinished, that there was still so much left unsaid between them. But she also knew that she couldn't rush things. They had to take it slow, had to be careful.
Xayah turned back to Aurora, her expression filled with concern and understanding. "I'm sorry about that," she said, nodding towards where Rakan had disappeared through the cafeteria doors. "My brother can be a real jerk sometimes."
Aurora smiled weakly, grateful for her friend's unwavering support. "It's okay, Xayah," she said, her voice filled with a mix of resignation and frustration. "I'm just glad he didn't hear too much of our conversation."
Xayah raised an eyebrow, a curious glint in her eye. "Speaking of conversations, Aurora," she said, her voice gentle but firm. "As i said, i hope you havent done something to regret with your sister..."
"I don't regret it!" Aurora blurted without thinking, then she took her hands towards her mouth
Xayah stared at her with disbelief "You are pranking me, right? is this a bad prank aurey? is your sister hidden somewhere and laughing at me, for even believing this?"
Aurora felt tears welling up in her eyes as she looked into her friend's caring gaze. She was still scared, scared of what might happen if she confided in her.
"I... I had sex with Gwen," she blurted out finally, her voice barely above a whisper.
Xayah's eyes widened in shock, her mouth falling open slightly as she processed Aurora's confession. She sat in stunned silence for a moment, her mind racing as she tried to make sense of what her friend had just said.
"Wait, what?" she said finally, her voice filled with a mix of disbelief and confusion. "You and Gwen... you had sex? Your sister?"
Aurora nodded, a fresh wave of tears spilling over as she looked at her friend. "I know, Xayah," she said, her voice filled with a mix of regret and despair. "It's wrong, I know that. But I can't help how I feel. I love her, Xayah. I love her more than anything."
Xayah shook her head, her expression a mix of shock and disapproval. "Aurora, you can't," she said, her voice firm and unwavering. "You and Gwen, you're sisters. What you did, it's illegal. It's wrong."
Aurora felt her heart sink at her friend's words, a wave of shame and guilt washing over her. She knew that Xayah was right, that what she had done was wrong. But she also couldn't deny the feelings that she had for her sister.
"I know, Xayah," she said, her voice choked with emotion. "I know it's wrong. But I can't change how I feel. I love her, and I think she loves me too."
Xayah sighed, her expression softening slightly as she looked at her friend. "Oh, Aurora…" Xayah shook her head, a mixture of confusion and disbelief playing across her face.
"Aurora, if you scored with your sister, then you should be happy, right?" she said, her voice filled with a mix of concern and curiosity. "Why are you so upset about it?"
Aurora sighed, running a hand through her hair in frustration. "It's not that simple, Xayah," she said, her voice filled with a mix of regret and despair. "My parents are at home, and we have to act normal around them. But ever since... since that night, Gwen and I have been drifting apart. It's too awkward to be alone together."
Xayah's eyes widened in understanding, a look of sympathy crossing her face. "Oh, I see," she said, her voice softening. "So you're basically in limbo, caught between your feelings for her and the reality of your situation."
Aurora nodded, a fresh wave of tears spilling over as she looked at her friend. "I can barely stand it, Xayah," she said, her voice choked with emotion. "I want to be with her, to hold her and kiss her and tell her how much I love her. But I can't. I have to act like everything is normal, like nothing has changed."
Xayah reached out, taking her friend's hand in her own and squeezing it tightly. "I'm so sorry, Aurora," she said, her voice filled with sympathy and understanding. "That must be so hard for you."
Aurora nodded, a small smile playing at the corners of her mouth as she looked into her friend's caring gaze. "Thanks, Xayah," she said, her voice filled with gratitude. "I just... I don't know what to do. I can't keep living like this, pretending that everything is okay when it's not."
Xayah squeezed her hand again, her expression thoughtful. "Well, for starters, you could try talking to Gwen," she said, her voice filled with a mix of encouragement and caution. "Tell her how you feel, and see how she responds. Maybe she feels the same way, and maybe you can figure out a way to be together, even if it's just in secret."
Aurora's eyes widened at the suggestion, a flicker of hope sparking in her chest. "You think so?" she asked, her voice filled with a mix of excitement and uncertainty. "But what if she doesn't feel the same way? What if she just sees me as a mistake, or a phase?"
Xayah shook her head, a reassuring smile spreading across her face. "Then at least you'll know, Aurora," she said, her voice filled with a mix of wisdom and understanding. "And you can move on, and find someone who does feel the same way about you. But you'll never know unless you try."
Aurora took a deep breath, a sense of determination washing over her as she looked at her friend. "You're right, Xayah," she said, her voice filled with a mix of gratitude and resolve. "I have to talk to her. I have to tell her how I feel, no matter what happens."
Xayah smiled, her eyes crinkling at the corners as she looked at her friend. "That's the spirit, Aurora," she said, her voice filled with pride and affection. "You're going to be okay, no matter what happens. I just know it."
Xayah lay on her bed, her headphones blasting music into her ears as she tried to drown out her thoughts. But no matter how loud she turned up the volume, she couldn't stop thinking about Aurora and Gwen. The way they had come together, the way they had accepted their love for each other, despite all the odds stacked against them. It was beautiful and inspiring, and it made Xayah's heart ache with longing.
She thought about the stupid 'sex education' assignment excuse that Aurora had used to get close to Gwen, and she couldn't help but smile. It had been a terrible plan, a bad idea, but it had worked for them. It had brought them together, had given them the push they needed to finally admit their feelings and be together.
Xayah's thoughts turned to Rakan, her own brother. She knew that he had some attraction to her, that he had shown interest in her in the past. But was it just physical? Was he just curious about his own sister, or did he truly have feelings for her? Rakan was so handsome, so popular with the girls at school. He could have any girl he wanted. Would he really choose her, or would he change her for another, prettier one as soon as he could? As soon as he had tasted her, as soon as he had gotten what he wanted?
The thought made Xayah's heart ache with a mix of longing and fear. She found her brother attractive, there was no denying that. But she was scared to admit it, scared to put herself out there, only to be rejected and hurt.
Xayah sighed, rolling over onto her stomach as she buried her face in her pillow. She didn't know what to do, didn't know how to navigate these confusing feelings and desires. But one thing was for certain - she couldn't keep living in fear, couldn't keep denying herself the chance at happiness, the chance at love. Whether it was with Rakan or someone else, she had to be true to herself, to her desires, to her heart.
Xayah texted her best friend: "Hey Aurey, are you up? I really need to talk to you about something."
Xayah waited for a few minutes, but there was no response. She checked the time - it was already late, almost midnight. Maybe Aurora was already asleep? Or maybe... maybe she was with Gwen, lost in their own world, their own love.
The thought made Xayah's heart ache with a mix of jealousy and longing. She was so happy for her best friend, so happy that Aurora had found love and acceptance with Gwen. But at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a pang of envy. Aurora was in big trouble, yes, but at least she was getting to snuggle and make love with her sister. Xayah, on the other hand, was alone in her room, her heart heavy with unspoken desires and fears.
She sighed, tossing her phone aside as she flopped back onto her bed. Maybe it was better this way, she thought to herself. Maybe it was better to keep her feelings to herself, to not put herself out there, only to be rejected and hurt.
As Xayah lay on her bed, her heart raced, and her body throbbed with an unfamiliar, intense desire. She closed her eyes, trying to push thoughts of Rakan from her mind, but his face kept appearing in her imagination. She let out a frustrated sigh, her hand wandering down her body, tracing the curves she had never truly explored before.
Her fingers tentatively brushed against her panties, feeling the dampness that had gathered there. She gasped at the sensation, her body arching slightly. She couldn't believe how wet she was, how much she wanted him. But she couldn't have him, not like that. Not ever.
She bit her lip, trying to distract herself with other thoughts, but her body had other plans. Her fingers hooked into the waistband of her panties, slowly pulling them down, exposing herself to the cool air of her room. She felt a shiver run through her, but it wasn't from the cold.
Her breath hitched as her fingers found her wet, swollen folds. She was already so turned on, her body aching with need. She started to rub herself, her fingers moving in slow, deliberate circles around her clit. She was tentative at first, exploring the new sensations, but her body quickly took over, her movements becoming more urgent, more insistent.
She could feel her own wetness coating her fingers, making her movements slick and smooth. She pushed two fingers inside herself, her hips lifting off the bed as she did. She began to move them in and out, mimicking the rhythm she wanted, the rhythm she needed. Her thumb found her clit, rubbing it in time with her fingers, sending jolts of pleasure through her.
Her breath came in ragged gasps, her body tensing as she got closer and closer to the edge. She could feel her orgasm building, her body coiling like a spring ready to snap. She moved her hand faster, her fingers pressing deeper, her thumb rubbing harder. She was chasing her release, desperate to find it.
And then, with a cry, she found it. Her body convulsed, her hips lifting off the bed as waves of pleasure crashed over her. She rode out her orgasm, her body trembling, her fingers still moving, drawing out every last bit of pleasure.
But just as she was coming down from her high, the door to her room creaked open. Xayah's eyes flew open in shock and embarrassment as she saw Rakan standing in the doorway, his expression a mix of confusion and concern.
"Xayah? Are you okay?" he asked, his voice filled with worry. "I heard you crying and I wanted to make sure you were alright."
Xayah's face flushed with shame as she realized that Rakan had mistaken her moans of pleasure for cries of pain. She quickly pulled her hand away from between her legs, her voice sharp with anger and embarrassment as she snapped at him.
"Do you not know how to knock, Rakan?" she demanded, her voice filled with a mix of fury and humiliation. "What the hell are you doing, barging into my room like that?"
Rakan looked taken aback by her outburst, his eyes widening in surprise. "I... I'm sorry, Xayah," he stammered, taking a step back. "I didn't mean to... I just wanted to make sure you were okay. I'll leave you alone."
