Incest-Hypothetically Not Your Sister(Sunset) by Leman


                                            >"Hey bro. I know I'm not really all that pretty, but...hypothetically...if I wasn't your sister..." Sunset asks.

                                            >You look up from slurping your midnight Reese's Puffs and see Sunset standing infront of the fridge, to find her kind of looking towards the ground and at you.

                                            >She sprayed some whip cream on her finger to lick it off but now shes just standing there.

                                            >Only the light from the still open fridge illuminates the room.

                                            “Wot.” You ask with a mouthful of cereal, some milk escapes the corner of your lips and spill onto Theo table.

                                            >You try lowering your head over the bowl beneath you but some of it falls onto the table.

                                            >Shit.

                                            >”Y-yea I know it's silly to ask but I…..I was just wondering.”

                                            >You finish up the last bit that was in your mouth and regain composure.

                                            “What are you asking.?”

                                            >Her face gets a little red around her nose and cheeks.

                                            >”I was just wondering….if I wasn’t your sister in hypothetical sense…..would I……be.”

                                            >She trails off.

                                            “Spit it out fool, my milk is getting warm.”

                                            >”If I wasn’t your sister, would I be attractive to you?”

                                            >You lean back into the bar chair and look at her.

                                            “I never really thought about it.”

                                            >”Yea, but just. What if?”

                                            >She finally licks the whip cream off her finger.

                                            “I mean….I guess. I don't know. Uh….Maybe?”

                                            >Sunset seems to not like your answer.

                                            >Now things are just getting awkward.

                                            >What was suppose to be a good old midnight snack trip for you and her has turned into a silent awkward conversation.

                                            >”That's not really a answer. But ok.”

                                            >She turns around to put the whip cream back up and closes the door.

                                            >Now it's dark.

                                            “May I ask why you're asking me this?”

                                            >You can't see anything but you can make out the outline of her hair.

                                            >”I just having been feeling, you know, a whole lot attractive lately. And I thought I could ask someone who I'm always around.”


                                            >Other then home she doesn't really hang out with you in school. Apart from the occasional wave.

                                            >Did some guy reject her? Did she get put in the friend zone?

                                            >The thought of your sister being put into the friend zone puts a slight grin on your face.

                                            >”Is it funny?”

                                            >She can see you?

                                            >You must be blind or she has night vision.

                                            >Sunset let's out a loud sigh.

                                            >”Just forget it. I'm going to go back to bed. I'll see you in the morning.”

                                            >Oh now you feel bad.

                                            >If she wasn't upset before, she definitely is now.

                                            >Quick, before she leaves.

                                            “I find you attractive, so yea.”

                                            >She stops before passing you.

                                            “If you weren't my sister, I would definitely find you attractive. I don't know why most guys wouldn't. But it's more then looks sunset. It's probably what you have on the inside that would I would find cute.”

                                            >You can see her now, since she's about a arms length away from you. Her eyes staring you down.

                                            >”You're smart, one of the most smartest people I know. You're a born leader, and you know better then anyone how to find the good even in the most negative people.”

                                            >You can see something glistening in her eyes.

                                            >Small amounts of tears.

                                            >Time to bring it on home.

                                            “And whoever tells you otherwise probably doesn't know what they're talking about. You're a great person sunny, inside and out.”

                                            >Now it's silent again.

                                            >She's just standing there now.

                                            >Feel a warmth on your hand.

                                            >Look down and you see Sunset has laid her hand on yours.


                                            She holds it.

                                            >You give her a squeeze to tell her you're here.

                                            “So uh, does that answer your question?”

                                            >Sunset nods her head quickly.

                                            >She smiles wide.

                                            >Then she lunges in for a hug, almost knocking the chair backwards.

                                            >You feel her hold you tightly, grabbing onto your back and your hair.

                                            >”It was more then I could of asked for.” She whispers.

                                            >You feel your heart get light and your throat knot up.

                                            >You stay like this in the dark for a little bit.

                                            “So is everything alright?”

                                            >She let's go of you and wipes her face with her sleeve, shaking her head quickly.

                                            >she has a hold of both your hands now.

                                            >You don't know what to do. So you kinda just sit there, arms limp.

                                            >”Everything's fine, just sometimes a girl thinks she isn't good enough and needs a little reassurance.”

                                            “Heh, well ok.”

                                            >You don't know what to say anymore.

                                            >”Thank you anon. I'm going to go to bed.”

                                            “Oh, well. Ok, I guess I'll see you in the morning.”

                                            >Sunset quickly goes in for a kiss on the cheek and leaves upstairs.

                                            >Now you're just left by yourself.

                                            >And the sound of a clock ticking.

                                            >Girls are weird.

                                            >You look around and see your bowl of milk.

                                            >Dip a finger in it, and find it's gotten warm.

                                            “Man, I didn't want this to happen.”

                                            >You slide off the the chair and empty the bowl in the sink and go back to bed.

                                            >Tomorrow you'll have some more questions.
