My Enigmatic Life

      You know, there really is nothing better than sharing a meal with your loved ones. Food really does taste better this way, and Oba's mapo tofu curry doesn't need any help in the flavour department. Her cooking is as great as usual.           

"Govvy-chan! Govvy-chan! Are you going to be living with us now?"

"Yeah! Are you going to be living with us?"

These two excitable ones are the youngest members of Oji's family. Yuno and Yuuma are twins and the amount of energy between the two of them knows no bounds. 

"Unfortunately, no."

 "He will be coming over to stay every week, though."

That's the same as living here, Naoya. 

"Don't be silly, Naoya-nii. Aniki will be coming over every two weeks.", Yoko reprimands.

"No, I'll be coming over for a week once every month."

Oji leans back in his chair, and crack a smile. 

"Sounds like a good deal to me."

"It'll be just like when we were younger and living back in the UK. How nostalgic."

Aoi smiles reminisciently at the thought of our youth. Seeing everyone in such a good mood has me grinning like an idiot. 

"Yeah, it's awesome, right?"

"Govvy-chan, would you like another helping~~?", Oba asks.

"Yes, please!", I heartily reply.

"Don't forget about me, mum.", Naoya jumps in. 

 "Of course not~~~~", Oba trills, as she gets up and takes our plates to the kitchen. 

"Say, Govvy. Do you want to bathe first?", Oji asks, sipping his juice. 

Me? Aren't guests supposed to bathe last in Japanese culture? When in Rome, you do as the Romans do, yeah?

"I think that as a guest, I ought to go last.", I reply. 

Oji, however, quickly rebuffs that notion. 

"Tosh. You're family, not some random visitor, my boy. You can go first. You can go last. Hell, you can go without washing the entire time that you're here. I wouldn't recommend that though, you won't get any birds like that."

Well, I don't believe that I would be getting any whether or not I took a shower.

"Don't go sabotaging the plumbing system, Yoko.", Aoi jokes.

"I had no plans to, Aoi-nee.", Yoko frowns, "I'd rather that Aniki be hygienic, thank-you."

"Speaking of hygiene, Akane's always going on about how shabby my hair looks.", I remark.

"Akane?"

Oba, who just returned with two brimming plates, queries me.

"She's Govvy's girlfriend, mum.", Naoya quips, grinning at Yoko.

"She is not.", Yoko says hotly. 

"Yoko-nee is jealous, Yuno-chan!"

"Jealous! Jealous!"

Yoko doesn't reply, but her pout becomes more pronounced as we laugh at her indignation. 

 

  Man, it sure is nice spending time with family. Don't get me wrong, hanging out with my mates is great as well, but it's different with family, you know. My cheeks are hurting from all the laughing and grinning I did at dinner. 

"Huh, Oji's bathtub is smaller than the one at my apartment."

I'm currently sat in the bath, reposed. After such a good meal, a proper soak is necessary. I decided to go second to last before Yoko. 

"Hey Aniki."

Ah, there's Yoko no- EH?!

"Yoko?! What are you doing?!"

"I've come to share a bath with you, obviously."

Obviously. You're stark naked! I see everything. Her thighs and hips, her waist... Her breasts and her nipples... They're a pretty pink colour- wait- what am I doing?! 

"I'll get up and leave!", I say hurriedly, looking away from her, "Just give me a tick!"

Yoko doesn't want me to leave, however. 

"Don't be so worried, Aniki."

Yoko climbs into the bath with me and leans her bare back against my bare chest. Don't look, don't look. How is she so comfortable doing this, damn it?! 

"Aniki, let me see your hands.", she requests. 

Still looking elsewhere, I stick my hands out. Yoko grabs hold of them and rubs my palms.

"You sure have some big hands, Aniki.", Yoko marvels.

Then suddenly, I can feel said palms touching something very soft and smooth. Cautiously, I look over and-

"Eh?!"

My hands! They're on her tits! I'm groping my younger cousin's breasts!

"Yoko, have you gone mad?!"

"This is a test, Aniki. If you can hold onto my chest without squeezing, you'll pass the pervert test and I'll let you go. You have to touch them for fifty seconds."

What kind of test is this? Nonetheless, I have to pass so that I can get out of here before things get out of hand. No pun intended. 

1,2,3,4,5...

"Aniki, I worry about you often."

"Why is that?"

6,7,8,9,10...

"Let me ask you something. Why do you think I'm doing this?"

"To drive me insane?", I retort.

11,12,13,14,15...

"Of course not.", Yoko says, narrowing her eyes.

16,17,18,19,20...

"It's because I love you."

....What?

"I'm sorry?"

"I said that it's because I love you, Aniki.", Yoko repeats.

"L-like family, right?", I stammer.

"Yes, but it's mostly as a man."

As a man? No way. She must be joking. 

"You face tells me that you don't believe me, but I really do love you. And seeing as how cousin marriage is legal back home, I would love it if we can get hitched once we go back home together."

She has a plan. She's actually serious about what she's saying. 

"And don't worry about our children, Aniki. The chances of birthing issues is only two percent higher than that of a couple who aren't related. Not to mention, our family doesn't have any history of hereditary diseases.", Yoko prattles on.

"You've really thought about this, huh?", I say, completely dumbfounded. 

"That's right! I've loved you for a very long time, and after what happened with you and Saito, I realised that I should be bold with my feelings."

Yoko and I becoming a couple? Christ, it sounds so.... wild. But, she and I have always gotten along really well, our personalities mesh well together, and her body is.... It's... 

"Aniki. It's been longer than fifty seconds." 

Yoko grins up at me mischievously. Quickly, I retract my hands away from her.

"Sorry, I got lost in thought."

"There's no need to apologise, Aniki. I'm glad to know that you're attracted to me."

"I am not." , I say defiantly.

"Really? Something rubbing against my butt says otherwise. You're big all about you, Aniki. It's touching my back as well."

Damn. I can talk all I want, but my body will reveal the truth. I feel a little ashamed of myself. 

"Well, I'll leave you be for now so that you can think. I'll be coming to visit you in the guest room later, okay?"

Before getting out, she turns and plops a warm kiss on my cheek. My face flushes even further than it already was as I touch where her lips were. I hear her let out a gleeful giggle as she left the bathroom, leaving me in shock.

"What's.... happening?"
