Beautifully Wrong

Shhh....

Cosmo and Nation gasped as he rolled off of her. Nation rolled over to Cosmo and gazed into his eyes. He wrapped an arm around her waist and let the other hand stroke her hair. She snuggled up close to him and buried her face in the crook of his neck.

"Do you...do you zhink...do you zhink our mother vill be surprised if she finds out?" Nation gasped. Cosmo laughed.

"I'd be surprised if she remembered our names, never mind that we're brother and sister. That drinking's taken a toll on her brain..." She rolled her eyes in agreement. She couldn't even remember the last time their mother spoken to them let alone the last time she was sober.

Cosmo held her closer and rubbed her bare back. Making love to his sister was one of the most overpowering things he had ever done. It felt so wonderful and right, how could it be wrong?

"Vhat are ve suppose to tell people?" Nation asked quietly. She feared she already knew the answer.

"Nothing. We can't say a word of this to anyone. You know how people will react to this..." He kissed her cheek.

She looked up at him again. Yes, she did know. Incest was illegal, no matter where you were, and they would become outcasts, which was fine by Nation. She couldn't care less if they were outcasts, they'd just have more time together. But most likely, they'd be thrown in prison and separated. Possibly killed by an angry mob. They never wanted to be separated from each other, in any way, shape, or form. That would mean the end of their lives anyway if they were separated. No, she couldn't trust anyone with this secret. Not even Odysseus. She chuckled. He was the reason she'd come up here in the first place. He led to this...

"What's so funny?" Cosmo raised his eyebrow.

"Nozhing. It's just zhat... Vell... I just remembered..."

"Remembered what?"

"Vell... If it veren't for Odysseus, zhis never vould've happened. Ve probably vouldn't've found out. I vish I could zhank him..." He smiled down at her and kissed her forehead.

"I wish I could too... But we can't, at least, not now... We just discovered this ourselves, and I find it still hard to believe..." She laughed at him.

"It's so hard to believe zhat zhe perfect people to be vith is each other?" She smiled.

"Yes." He smiled. He wrapped both his arms around her waist and kissed her passionately before she rolled over. She pressed her back up against his chest. She needed to feel him, needed his heat to warm her already feverish skin.

She looked at the clock on the nightstand. That late? It was already almost midnight. When she came up to talk to Cosmo, it had only been six forty.

"It's not actually zhat hard to imagine if you zhink about it." Nation finally answered. Her voice came out soft.

"How so?" He answered, sounding just as soft.

"Ve vere all ve ever had. You practically raised me yourself. You took care of me and helped me zhrough anyzhing and everyzhing, no matter how stupid it vas. You've been my protector since I vas born." She rolled over in his arms to face him, their noses touching again. "I don't need any ozher man in zhe vorld besides you. I never have, and I never vill." She whispered. He smiled.

"I love you, Nat." He whispered.

"I love you too, Cos." She whispered back and smiled. He kissed her, deeply and thoroughly. He left no part of her mouth untouched by his tongue. She finally pulled away, breaking the kiss, and snuggled her head into his neck. They fit so well together, like they were made for each other. She yawned.

"Tired, love?" Nation nodded and closed her eyes.

"Can I stay here?" She mumbled. He smiled and stroked her hair again.

"I would say yes, but what if mum comes home?" He asked raising an eyebrow. He was tired, but not as tired as her.

"I don't care..." She mumbled. She kissed the side of his neck and fell asleep.

Cosmo chuckled. This day had worn her down like no other. He sighed and closed his own eyes.

He listened to her soft breathing and her scent filled his nose every time he breathed in. She smelt of flowers in bloom. She felt soft like silk. He allowed himself to become lost in her and his eyes soon became heavy. He slipped off into a deep sleep, never letting his sister leave his mind.
