[Aster]
The morning began just as oppressively as the previous one: dark, with only faint, dim light filtering through the thick canopy of the forest. Deep beneath an ancient tree, among the giant, gnarled roots, Aster awoke from the most restful sleep he'd ever known. And for good reason — he has the best sister a brother could wish for.
Still foggy with sleep, the boy found himself still buried deep within Silvia's warm mouth, his small shaft resting gently against her slippery, pink tongue. Her soft, warm breathing against his public mound tickled slightly but felt amazing, and so was her lips' tight grip on him. It was a strange, new sensation that the boy found himself enjoying immensely, feeling his flaccid member twitch lightly in the wet heat of her mouth, slick from her saliva that coated his length.
Aster's hand was in his sister's silky silver locks, just behind her cute, pointy ear; he gently ran his fingers through the soft strands. But as the fog of sleep lifted from his mind, his eyes suddenly widened in realization. 'We... we shouldn't have done this,' Aster thought, his heart pounding rapidly against his ribcage. 'Oh, gods... it's even worse than what happened near the river...' he thought in dismay.
The boy tensed up, guilt and shame flooding through him as he tried to pull away from his sister's mouth. His soft, wrinkled penis slipped out from between her soft, pink lips with a quiet pop. Silvia smacked her mouth quietly in her sleep and then let out a cute whimper, almost as if she were disappointed that her little brother was no longer in her warm mouth.
The wet shaft landed on Silvia's cheek and rested there for a moment, smearing her slimy saliva all over it until she shifted slightly to get more comfortable. Then Aster felt his member slide between her lips once more as the girl caught it in her sleep. 'Ugh... no,' he thought when her tongue started to move lazily against his wrinkled foreskin, then slipped inside it to lap at his sensitive tip. His foreskin wrapped around her little tongue as it moved inside, feeling heavenly as his sister licked and suckled him.
Aster had to bite back a moan from how good it felt; he knew they had already done enough wrong things, and he couldn't let it continue. The boy pulled out of Silvia's warm mouth with another wet "pop," his shaft landing on her cheek again, now semi-erect after her gentle licks, though the size had barely changed.
Her lips moved slightly as she mumbled incoherently in sleep, but she remained fast asleep, her flat chest rising and falling in rhythm with her soft breaths. 'This is so wrong,' Aster sighed quietly, feeling utterly guilty about what they did together. 'Will she hate me for this?' a thought flashed through his mind, making his stomach clench with dread.
Aster gently tapped her cheek to try to wake her up, but the only response he got was an incoherent mumble. Aster repeated, and this time, her golden eyes fluttered open, long lashes brushing against the pale skin of his public. "What... is it?" she whispered sleepily, her voice husky from the sleep.
Without answering, Aster grabbed her by the shoulders and tried to lift the girl so she could lay beside him without having to curl up down there with her face pressed against his groin. After a few minutes of struggling, Silvia wiggled her body up and lay between him and their mother in the cramped space.
Nivalis was still asleep, her soft breathing filling the small area beneath the blanket. Aster could barely make out his sister's face in the darkness beneath the heavy fabric, only her golden eyes glinting back at him. It was so tight that he found it hard to breathe, but he didn't complain; he was just relieved she didn't yell at him, at least not yet.
They both remained silent for a long moment, staring into each other's eyes in the heavy darkness beneath the blanket. Aster didn't know what to say or how to apologize to her for what happened last night. The guilt weighed heavily on his young shoulders, making his stomach uneasy. He opened his mouth to apologize, but the words died before he could speak them, and he found it almost impossible to find the right words.
"How are you feeling?" Silvia finally broke the heavy silence, her voice barely louder than a soft exhale.
— "Um..." Aster gulped nervously, his mind only now registering all the terrible aching that coursed through his underdeveloped body, especially inside his chest. But at least he didn't tremble like yesterday. "A little bit better, I think," he whispered, his heart still hammering rapidly against his ribcage. "Everything hurts after that spell. It was stupid of me to ignite so much mana..." he added after a moment. "And... uhm..."
"You just wanted to protect us, Asty," Silvia smiled softly in the darkness, kissing her little brother softly and lovingly. "I don't know how you managed to hold it for so long. Thank you for staying strong for me and Mom."
— "Mhm..." Aster smiled a little, feeling some of the guilt ease from her kind words, but it was far from gone. He still felt terrible about what had happened last night. "Um, Silv... about what happened down there... you know?" he whispered, swallowing hard. "I'm sorry. I didn't want to do that to you. It just... uhm..."
"Did you like it?" the girl suddenly asked, interrupting him. Her golden eyes watched Aster intently in the dim light filtering through the blanket.
'Is this some kind of a test?' he wondered, unsure what to answer, but decided simply to be honest with her. "I did," Aster admitted quietly after a moment's hesitation. "A lot. Sorry..."
A quiet giggle escaped Silvia's lips as she tenderly caressed her little brother's cheek, her fingers tracing the contours of his features in the darkness. "It was... wrong, right?" she hesitantly asked, her hand stopping its gentle movements. "Like... siblings shouldn't do that?"
— "Y-yeah," Aster nodded slightly, unsure what else to say. He couldn't force himself to look into her eyes, a deep sense of shame filling his heart. "I'm sorry," the boy whispered again.
"Is it wrong that... I liked it a bit, too?" Silvia admitted quietly, biting her lower lip nervously. "It was... a little fun. I guess. And your thingy tasted... not bad," she added, her voice trembling slightly. "But you didn't release your seed inside me, so it should be fine, right?"
Aster's eyes widened in shock and embarrassment, his face flushing red as if on fire. He had no idea how to respond, so he remained silent momentarily, trying to calm himself and think clearly. 'She... liked it?' Aster thought in disbelief. "Mhm," he mumbled quietly, feeling his heart beat faster at the thought of releasing his seed inside his sister. "It only works if it goes inside from down there... you know," he added, unsure why he decided that she needed this information.
"Oh... really? Huh... I didn't know that," Silvia whispered, surprised by that new knowledge. She then fell silent momentarily, her thoughts whirling rapidly inside her head as she tried to process everything. "I see..." she paused, looking at him with curiosity and uncertainty in her golden eyes. "You won't tell mom, right?" she asked quietly, her voice barely above a whisper.
— "Of course not," Aster assured her, his voice equally soft. "She will kill us," he added with a nervous chuckle.
Silvia giggled quietly and then nodded in agreement. "I'm sorry for kissing your thingy," she whispered apologetically. "I just wanted to help. You were trembling so much yesterday... and it helped a bit..." she explained, her hand finding his own in the dark and squeezing gently, their fingers intertwining. "And you liked it a little... and then I liked it a bit... so I just..." she trailed off, looking away shyly.
— "Why did you sleep with it in your mouth, though?" Aster quietly chuckled, almost immediately earning a playful flick of her finger on his forehead.
"I did not!" she huffed quietly, only to giggle a second later. "I did, didn't I?" Silvia admitted sheepishly, blushing. "Sorry?"
— "It's me who should be sorry, Silvia. Not you," Aster whispered back, wrapping his arms around her protectively. "I'm sorry for doing that to you. And that thing at the river..."
"Shh," she hushed him, hugging him back just as tightly. "We will not talk about it again, okay? Like, ever. It never happened. And that thing at the river, too."
Even though Aster's heart still ached with guilt, he smiled weakly and nodded slightly. "Okay," he whispered.
Silvia paused momentarily before asking quietly, her voice barely audible against his ear, "By the way... how do you usually make it go soft? I tried to pinch it, but it didn't help."
Aster winced, remembering the pain her pinch had caused him. "I don't. It never goes soft unless..." he replied honestly, only to cut himself mid-sentence. Only after he spoke did Aster realize that he should have lied or just told a half-truth. He can't tell about what he and Nivalis often did during the night.
"You don't? How... I don't understand. How does it go soft, then?" Silvia asked, confused by his answer.
— "Well..." he sighed, knowing he should tell her something now that he'd mentioned it. And Aster didn't want to lie to her, to the closest person in his life. "Can I ask you to keep a secret? A big one," he asked after a moment of silence.
Silvia blinked in surprise at his request, her golden eyes widening slightly. "Of course. What secret?" she whispered back curiously.
— "Um... Ever since it started to get big, for some reason, it never goes soft on its own and hurts a lot if it remains like this. Some sort of an illness, I think," Aster confessed after a brief pause, his voice barely audible in the dark. "So... ever since then, Mom has helped me with it. At first, she tried to teach me to do it myself, but for some reason, it doesn't work," he admitted quietly. "Now, every time it gets big, I usually wake her up at night to make it soft again..."
"How... why?" Silvia whispered in disbelief. "No... really?"
Aster simply nodded, feeling guilty for keeping something like this from her for so long. "Yeah," he confirmed.
"She does it with her mouth, too?" the girl asked in a hushed tone, "Like I did?"
— "N-no. Usually, I just humping against her navel until it feels good... you know," Aster answered awkwardly, looking away. "Sometimes, with her hand. But she doesn't like doing it. The first time she did, she cried a lot."
"Oh," Silvia mumbled, not knowing how to react. "Why keep it a secret from me?"
— "The same reason why she cried... It's not something mother and son should do together, you know?" Aster explained, sighing heavily. "Sorry. I wanted to tell you but promised not to. If she asks, please pretend you don't know," he added quietly. "She's really ashamed about it."
"O-okay," Silvia whispered, nodding slightly in understanding. She fell silent for a long moment, lost in her thoughts, but eventually spoke up again. "It's strange, but... it doesn't sound bad. She simply did it to help you with that illness, right?" she pondered quietly. "But... if she doesn't like to do it... maybe I can help you instead? I liked it a bit. I guess. So... it's okay? That mouth-thingy, I mean."
— "No. We shouldn't have done this," Aster shook his head. "I think this is why Mom didn't want to tell you this... so you wouldn't do something like that. Let's just forget about it, alright?" he whispered weakly.
"Yeah... you're right," Silvia mumbled, sighing. "Okay. We'll forget. Now... I need to do the mana-invasion on you since I couldn't do it yesterday. I'll try to be quick."
— "You sure? What if that creature tracks us by our mana? It could return," Aster asked worriedly, his eyebrows furrowed in concern. "I-I don't know, maybe we shouldn't... Though I think the tree hid our mana somehow, but still..."
"I'll be quick. And you need it right now, like a lot," the girl mumbled, pushing aside the blanket that covered them to let some fresh air in and see how red her little brother was. "You look horrible," she grimaced, placing her palm on his sweaty forehead.
Aster's golden eyes flickered to the ice wall that blocked the entrance, slightly melted but still standing firmly. When his eyes met hers, he noticed her face was all covered in spit. "You too," Aster chuckled softly, scooping some saliva from her cheek to show her. "You really slept with it in your mouth, huh? Yuck."
"Shut up," Silvia blushed furiously, wiping away the mess. The boy smiled warmly at her and helped her clean her face, using the sleeve of his tunic from underneath and some melted ice. She looked so cute when flustered like this, all pouty and adorable.
— "There you go," he chuckled softly, finishing the cleaning. "Pretty and clean."
Silvia just stuck her tongue out at him before covering them back. Aster felt a chill in her chest as she gathered the mana, their flat chests pressed tightly together. Nivalis remained asleep, her soft breaths the only sound amidst the twisted roots. She was probably exhausted from staying awake for too long during the night to ensure her children were safe.
With a quiet sigh, Aster closed his eyes and relaxed against his sister as she began pushing the cold mana inside him.
...
A few hours passed, and the Silverfrost family remained hidden between the ancient tree's gnarled roots. They stayed there, listening carefully for any sign of the terrifying creature that had nearly discovered them the night before. But everything seemed quiet around them; no clicking sound or heavy footsteps could be heard. But still, they didn't dare to get outside just yet, not taking any unnecessary risks.
As they waited anxiously, Silvia and Aster murmured about random, meaningless things to pass the time, whispering in the heavy darkness beneath the blanket. Nivalis caught up on her much-needed sleep, waking every half an hour to ensure they were safe and no danger lurked nearby. Aster's body slowly recovered from the previous night's spell strain. Her mana had been a great help, although still, he felt tired and weak. But at least he wasn't all red and sweating anymore.
"Hey, Asty..." Silvia softly whispered, her voice slightly hesitant.
— "Yeah?" Aster hummed in response, his golden eyes closed as he tried to fall asleep.
"I... I need to pee. Like bad," the girl mumbled, fidgeting uncomfortably. "But we can't go outside right now. What should we do?"
"Oh. Me too, a bit," he opened his eyes, but it barely made any difference; it was still pitch black around them. It was slightly cold from Silvia's ice wall above their heads, but at least it protected them against the outside world. A little, but still. "I don't know..."
"Something wrong?" Nivalis asked quietly, hearing their whispers. Her voice was hoarse and rough from sleep.
"I need to pee," Silvia whispered back, her golden eyes meeting her mother's blue ones in the faint light.
"Hmm," Nivalis pondered for a moment before replying softly. "I don't want us to go outside right now... It might still not be safe out there." She sighed quietly, worry tinging her voice. "Before moving again, I thought we could stay here for another day or two to ensure that creature is gone. Can you wait until the dark, sweetie? We will try to sneak out and find a bush for us."
"N-no..." Silvia mumbled, blushing slightly.
Nivalis gently caressed her daughter's silver hair before continuing, "Oh, sweetie. I know it's hard, but can you try? Those things outside most likely have a good sense of smell. If we start smelling with pee, they might sniff us out when we start to walk."
— "We can try digging a hole beneath us," Aster suggested quietly. "Do the business, then cover it back with the soil."
"Yeah... good idea, honey," Nivalis nodded, gently patting his head. She moved around slowly, removing the clothing they had placed on the ground and putting it aside, leaving only bare soil covered with moss beneath their naked bodies. She tried digging her fingers into the ground but with no success. "It's too hard," Nivalis whispered frustratedly. "You two are much smaller than me. Try finding a softer spot without so many roots."
"Alright," Silvia mumbled, moving down to where she slept yesterday. Her petite body curled tightly between her mother and brother, trying to fit in the cramped space. Aster tried following, but there simply wasn't enough room left. He stayed put as he was, feeling how his sister wiggled around at their legs to find a soft spot to dig a hole. "I think I found a place... it's down here," she whispered after a few minutes of searching. "But I don't think I can pee like this. To do it, I will need to twist myself even more to reach it with my butt."
"How about you pee into the bowl and then pour it into the hole?" Nivalis suggested quietly, rummaging through her leather backpack for the wooden vessel.
"Uh... okay," Silvia mumbled, wiggling herself back into a position between her mother and brother. When Nivalis handed her the wooden bowl, she placed it beneath her thighs, spreading them to the sides as best she could manage in that cramped space. The bowl kept sliding against the moss or just leaning from the slightest of her movements, making it obvious it would spill if she tried peeing into it.
Not to mention that Silvia also needed to move down there without accidentally spilling anything, and it was a lot harder than it sounded. It was so damn cramped, and it's hard to see in the dark. "I think I'll just try to hold it," she mumbled after a moment, returning the wooden bowl to her mother. "I-I can't without sitting properly. I will just make a lot of mess."
"Alright... well, try to fall asleep. It should help a little," Nivalis whispered back, putting the wooden bowl away in her backpack and returning the clothing to cover the ground where it had been moments ago. "Would you like some food? It's been a while since we last ate anything. Asty?"
Aster and Silvia nodded simultaneously, saying in unison, "Yes, please."
"Here you go," Nivalis whispered warmly and passed each of her children a piece of the dried fish, taking one for herself.
Both siblings took it quietly and began munching on the hard meat. "Thank you," Aster said, smiling faintly in the dim light; Silvia hummed in agreement.
"You're welcome," Nivalis murmured back between chewing.
...
A few more hours passed. Aster's legs began cramping painfully from being in one position for so long; he tried repeatedly curling and uncurling his toes, but it barely helped. However, it wasn't even close to being the most uncomfortable thing he had to endure during their hiding there. His bladder was painfully full, and ignoring its constant demands to pee grew increasingly difficult.
'Just half a day more until it gets darker... Or maybe when mom wakes up, we could think of something. I could try the bowl. It should be easier for me...' Aster sighed internally, shifting his body slightly to find a more comfortable position to ease pain and discomfort.
"Mmm..." he heard Silvia whimper quietly, shifting uncomfortably in the same manner as he did.
— "Can't sleep?" Aster quietly whispered, pressing his lips against her pointy ear.
"Yeah... just... I can't hold it anymore, Asty," Silvia admitted, her voice wavering. "I need to pee so bad... it hurts," the girl added, her words almost inaudible.
— "Let me grab you that bowl," Aster whispered back, gently squeezing his sister's shoulder before reaching behind their mother for the backpack. But Silvia stopped him with a soft hand on his wrist when he was about to touch the leather strap.
"No... you'll wake her up. Let Mom rest. It looks like she was up all night." Silvia sighed softly, her voice desperate as she tried to ignore the painful throbbing in her bladder. "And even with a bowl, I will spill it everywhere anyway. There's no way to do it while lying without making a mess."
— "Oh... then, what should we do?" Aster asked, his brow furrowed as he considered her words. "How about I massage your tummy?"
"Mhm... Please, do," the girl mumbled after a moment of silence, her voice trembling from the pain.
And so, beneath their blanket in the dim light that barely filtered through the thick cloth, Aster gently placed his hands on Silvia's soft stomach and began massaging it tenderly, trying not to put any pressure there. "Better?"
"Mm-hmm..." she replied, her voice a mix of gratitude and discomfort from the constant ache. "Thank you..."
Aster rubbed soothing circles on her belly, trying his best to provide some relief for his sister. However, no matter how much he tried to soothe her bladder, it continued to swell painfully. "Asty?" Silvia eventually whispered after a while, stopping his hand. "I-I'm sorry but... I can't hold it anymore," she said through gritted teeth, her voice trembling with each word. "It's just... too much. It hurts so badly and... I can't..."
— "Shhh, it's okay. Let me remove the clothing beneath you," Aster whispered, his voice gentle and understanding. He shifted around in their cramped hiding place, trying to remove the clothing she was lying on to prevent it from getting wet.
"I'm sorry..." Silvia whimpered quietly, squirming uncomfortably as a warm gush of air escaped her lips. "I tried to hold it..."
— "Don't apologize. It's not your fault," Aster reassured her, squeezing her delicate shoulder in the dark.
But before a trickle of pee left her body, the silver-haired girl hesitated, biting her lower lip nervously. She glanced at Aster anxiously, golden eyes wide and uncertain. "I have a silly idea how to, um... not make any mess," she suddenly whispered, her voice wavering. "But... I don't know. It's stupid and weird, and you'll probably think I'm crazy for even suggesting it... And it's super wrong. Probably."
— "Anything," Aster said simply, not needing more context. The boy was ready to do whatever his sister wanted without hesitation, no matter how strange or gross, to help her. "Just tell me what you need me to do."
"Really?" Silvia whispered back in surprise, sounding hesitant. "Okay... well, maybe..." she trailed off, taking a deep breath. Her voice dropped to barely whisper as she leaned closer to Aster's ear. "Maybe... you could try to... umm... catch my pee? You know, like... with your mouth?" she suggested, gulping loudly.
The girl couldn't believe she had just said such a thing, but at this point, she was too desperate to care how weird or wrong it was. Besides, It's not like they hadn't done anything worse just a few hours ago. "Then, you could just... um... spit it out into the hole I made down there," she paused, "But... it's probably stupid and weird. I'm sorry for suggesting something so gross," she added quickly, feeling her face flush with embarrassment and shame for even suggesting something like this. "I'm sorry..."
Aster sighed quietly. It was gross but not nearly as bad as what they had done last night. He still felt guilty and wanted to make up for what happened. "Alright, I'll try," he replied softly, much to her surprise.
"What? No... it was a bad idea," she whispered back, shaking her head firmly. "Forget it."
— "No. I'm doing it," Aster insisted, wiggling his body to slide down beneath her. Her thighs trembled at the sudden touch, and Silvia's breathing hitched in her chest as she realized he was doing it.
Silvia gently parted her slender legs so Aster could position his face between them. Her mind raced with embarrassment at the thought of what he was about to do, but she couldn't deny there was also a hint of relief. "Asty... thank you," she mumbled as she felt the warmth of his breath against her sensitive folds, the sensation making her shiver slightly. To make sure he saw what he was doing, she lifted a bit the blanket that covered them to let some light in.
The boy hummed in response, inhaling his sister's sweet, intoxicating scent; his nostrils flared slightly as he breathed her in. When he was about to press his lips against her pink, hairless slit, Silvia gently pushed his head away. "Wait... no," she whispered, her voice trembling. "This is too weird and gross. We shouldn't, Aster. It's not okay. We're siblings..."
— "You did worse. And I want to help," he reassured her, wrapping both his hands around her soft thighs to keep them spread open for him, staring directly at his sister's tight pussy, a miniature, even tighter version of their mother's. The sight made him gulp softly. 'Don't think about it that way...' he reminded himself, shaking his head slightly.
"Are you sure? I mean... I'm about to pee, and it will just... go into your mouth. Like a lot. And if Mom-" Silvia mumbled hesitantly, only for him to cut her off by pressing his lips firmly against her sensitive folds. She whimpered in surprise, her body tensing at the sudden sensation of her little brother's mouth in her most private place. Her thighs instinctively closed around his head, trapping him in between them; her legs rested on his shoulders. "O-oh... I'm really about to do it," she mumbled shyly, adjusting her hips slightly.
Aster just nodded in response, not pulling away from his sister's warm pussy. The sound of his lips smacking against her folds filled the silence around them.
"Umm... okay, here it goes," Silvia murmured as she spread herself open with trembling fingers, trying to give more room for him as her pussy was too small and too tight. She breathed deeply, preparing herself mentally, but the nervousness made it hard to relax her bladder. Seconds turned into long, awkward minutes that seemed like hours as the young girl felt her little brother breathing against her tiny, hairless pussy. "I-I can't... it's not coming out..." she added, frustration colored her voice.
Aster didn't respond. He simply held onto her trembling thighs and waited patiently for her to pee into his mouth, trying his best not to think about the taste of his sister's pussy, the warmth of it against his lips, or how soft it was to the touch, heavenly so; not a single hair on her delicate folds. Instead, he cleared his mind, leaving it as blank as possible, and focused on being there for her.
After a few awkward minutes, a soft, tiny trickle of urine escaped her tight slit. Silvia let out a quiet, cute gasp as more began to flow into Aster's mouth, the warm, golden liquid splashing against his tongue, its salty and sour taste filling his mouth. It was disgusting, without a doubt, but he endured it for his sister, pressing his face tightly against her pussy to avoid any leaks, his nose brushing against her delicate folds.
"Oh..." she let out a quiet moan of relief as the stream intensified. Aster's tongue instinctively pressed against her pink flesh, just beneath the urethra, catching every drop of the warm liquid his sister peed into him. He felt her pussy twitch and clench against his lips.
When Aster felt his mouth was full to the brim, he tapped her soft thighs, signaling for her to stop. Silvia instantly clenched her muscles, halting her stream. 'Don't think about the taste,' he told himself as he waited a few seconds to ensure it stopped completely. He licked a wild trickle of urine from her pussy before hesitantly pulling away.
Trying not to gag at the salty, sour taste in his mouth, Aster wiggled down to where Silvia had made a hole earlier in the soil. It took him some time to find it; the space there was incredibly cramped, making him wonder how she even slept there. After spitting out her warm pee into the small hole with a grimace, he crawled back to his sister's bottom, pressing his lips once more against her tiny folds.
"Mhm... thank you, Asty," Silvia breathed quietly when he returned, feeling him press his lips into her wet slit again. Without any warning, she relaxed her bladder, her pussy twitching slightly against his mouth as she resumed peeing. Her golden eyes fluttered shut in relief as the liquid began to flow out.
Again and again, Aster repeated the process, spitting his sister's pee into the small hole in the ground before returning to catch more with his mouth. Her stream gradually weakened with each repetition until it finally stopped. 'Finally...' he smiled in relief, his tongue licking the remaining liquid off his lips and her delicate flesh before slowly pulling away from her warm, glistening folds. He spat out one last time before wiggling back up beside her.
"Here, I made you a bit of ice to wash away the taste," Silvia whispered shyly, pressing a cold shard of ice against Aster's mouth.
— "Thanks," the boy replied softly, gently sucking on the ice, his tongue swirling around its cold surface, though it hardly helped to wash away the taste. Some of her pee even slid down his throat, as it was impossible not to swallow a bit. 'At least we didn't make any mess,' he thought with relief, sighing quietly. "Better?"
Silvia nodded slightly. Her golden irises glanced at him shyly, barely visible in the dark. "Yes, a lot better," she whispered, her voice soft. "Thank you."
— "You're welcome," Aster replied warmly, kissing his sister's flushed cheek gently.
"You had pee in your mouth," Silvia quietly laughed, playfully pushing him away. "Yuck."
— "Shut up," Aster chuckled, rolling his eyes at her. "Let's just forget it ever happened, like everything else," he whispered.
"Agreed," the girl nodded in agreement, sighing softly as she pressed her face against her little brother's shoulder, her long silver hair draped across her bare body. "I love you, Asty," she mumbled against his skin.
— "I love you too, Aster whispered back with a tender smile, wrapping an arm around her to hold her close.
The siblings lay together silently for a long while, listening to each other's breathing and their hearts beating in unison. "Don't you need to pee, too?" Silvia suddenly whispered, her eyelashes fluttering against Aster's shoulder.
— "Yeah... Kinda," he admitted quietly after a moment, "But it's not as bad as you had it. I'm alright."
"Are you sure? I can help you," she offered gently, lifting her head to gaze at him with concern in her golden eyes.
— "No, it's okay," Aster declined, shaking his head with a small smile. "Go back to sleep. I can hold it until nightfall," he whispered, tucking a silky strand of silver hair behind her ear.
"If you change your mind... wake me up," she murmured against his chest, her eyes already fluttering shut. "Goodnight, Aster."
— "Nighty," the boy replied, smacking his lips as he tried to get rid of the taste in his mouth. He grimaced slightly, praying that a cup of herbal tea would magically appear out of nowhere to wash it away. Or mint gum, that would be cool, too.
