Fic: Problems

Prompt: (From the gay rights/acceptance meme thingy) "We are the siblings who were disowned when our parents found gay and lesbian porn on the family computer."

~whoosh~

Whoosh just can't live up to the WHA-BAMs. ;A;

And I have no title creativity.

And this sounds REALLY incesty at the beginning. :P

And watch out for my stupid Asian jokes. It's not my fault I live in America…

But I don't mean any offense to anyone who may feel a personal tie to this story, or thinks that it is not an appropriate topic. This is written in my free time, and I see writing as a hobby that I won't soon give up.

~whoosh~

"Bruder…I feel sort of bad…"

"So do I, Lili. But we've been like this for a while, haven't we?"

Lili closed the video window on the computer and pulled out the flash drive connected to the USB port, setting it next to the moniter.

"I feel like they're going to be home soon. We'd better clean up," she said, standing up. She'd always been able to tell when their parents were near.

"Agreed. I'll shower first, 'kay?" Vash tried to smile but he couldn't. Lately the two had been paranoid that their parents would find out their secret.

~whoosh~

Vash let the warm water of the shower run through his short hair, sighing as it flowed down his back. A few tears escaped from his closed eyelids, but he didn't make any move to stop them from falling.

Showers had always been magical to him. They seemed to cleanse him of all that he'd done. He blamed himself for getting Lili into this mess- she could've been his parents' favorite child, but the siblings didn't even feel safe in their own home anymore.

Humming a tuneless melody, Vash methodically soaped up and wished, for a fleeting moment, that everything would right itself. His parents would accept him and Lili, unnamed problems would be forgotten, and he wouldn't feel so… alone.

But it wouldn't ever be that way. His parents would never forgive him or Lili if they ever did come out with their shared homosexuality problems, and they'd be shunned by everyone else in their small world.

~whoosh~

Lili's eyes traveled quickly as they scanned the Android screen. One text message from Mei, was that really all? She and Vash had been on the computer for almost an hour.

It always had been awkward, watching…gay porn with her own brother. Even though she knew that they had the same problem, his desires as well as hers couldn't be fulfilled by the opposite sex, she still felt bad for him.

And herself.

The social butterfly that she was, how she couldn't ever keep a secret like who was crushing on who, she hadn't told anyone about her sexuality yet. Well, excluding Vash. Not even her best friend of many years, Mei, knew anything about which team she played for. Of course, if a guy caught Mei's eye, Lili would vigorously agree how hot he was, but it hurt every time. It hurt even more to think that she could fall for her bestie next, and she dreaded that she wouldn't be caught.

Their parents didn't know. Not about anything.
