The Sex Ends and the Questions Begin

"Now what?" You wonder aloud.

Elsie kisses your chest lightly. "I don't know." She admits.

You lay in silence for a long time, both of you lost in thought. You couldn't begin to imagine the problems this was going to cause. How were you going to break this to your family? Your mother? How was this going to work in public? What would your friends say? What would people think? You guys were flaunting humanity's universal taboo.

"We're going to have to hide this, aren't we?" Elsie finally says in a sweet soft voice.

You couldn't see a way around it. "I think so. For now anyways." You respond. "After you graduate, maybe we can, I dunno, move or something. We'll have to get away from anyone who knows us."

"Move?" She says, after a moment of thinking about it she adds. "That actually sounds exciting. Let's move far away Jesse. I've got some scholarships coming to me, we should be able to figure something out."

You couldn't disagree, it did sound exciting. The thought of building a new life in a new city with Elsie seemed full of potential and adventure. You weren't sure how you would afford it, it was unlikely your mom was going fund any of this, but there had to be a way.

"I should look into the **** laws in the different states." You say. "Maybe..."

"Ew." She flinches. "Don't say that word."

"What? ****?" You ask.

"Gross. Please don't use that word anymore." She requests. "It sounds so wrong."

"Uh...El..." That was kind of weird, but you could sort of understand it. "Um, sure El. No problem."

You are quiet for a time once more. Despite all the myriad problems you could see on the horizon there was not one shred of doubt in you as you contemplated it.

El breaks the silence. "Jesse...do you think I should get the procedure? To make me normal?" She asks you. "It would be one less thing to keep hidden."

"Elsie, truly, honestly, that is up to you. I will support your decision one hundred percent. I am happy with whatever you want to do."

She snuggles in even closer, which didn't seem possible, and says. "Thank you."

"Love you."

"Love you too."

Laying there, happy and satisfied, you both begin to drift off to sleep. She falls asleep first, you hear her deep calm breathing. You soon follow, your last thought before sleep takes you is the image of your sister-lover Elsie standing at your side under a street light watching the performer play for you in the warm city night. What a perfect evening.
