Lexi

"Yes?" Daria prompted her sister, it was unlike her to tail off, or even be awkward, for that matter.

"Well, it's about Blake..."

"Yes?" She couldn't see where she was going with this.

"An' it's not like this is his idea or anythin'... Well, not this bit... It's complicated, but basically I want to have sex with him!" Lexi fumbled around with her words before awkwardly blurting out the statement.

"Uhhh?" Daria was rather flustered by this sudden confession and both Doe's now sat, not making eye contact and red in the face. Eventually Daria spoke again, "That's not- That's not a question though..." She felt a little bad to put Lexi back in the hotseat, but she had been the one to broach the topic.

"Ah, right... Well, he said he only would if you said it was okay..."

"And?"

"Whaddya' mean 'and'- Why are you drawing this out!? Can I fuck him? Yes or no?"

Daria was still trying to fully process things. How did she feel about this? Lexi was her sister, who was asking to sleep with her... boyfriend? He, who could effectively sleep with anyone, and was actively involved in doling out pseudo-sexual punishments to other students... She certainly didn't mind that... Was there a difference here? Should there be?

She realised she had to say something and eventually managed a, "I mean... I, uh, guess I don't have an issue with it... As long as he's okay." She added hastily.

She saw Lexi visibly relax, some of the tension flowing out of her joints. Her face was still somewhat taught however, and Daria noticed her ears twitch nervously, "Thanks sis. I'm sorry to put ya on the spot like that I needed to know."

"Needed?"

Lexi shifted uncomfortably, "Uhuh."

She gave her sister a sideways glance, "But- Why?"

Lexi looked quite out of place right now. She could feel the walls closing in around her and there really didn't seem to be any escape.

Daria watched her sister squirm for a good thirty seconds before she opened her mouth to dismiss the question.

Lexi however cut her off, "I-," She cleared her throat her voice coming out barely above a whisper, "I... I have to..." She blinked hard, her voice carried an uncharacteristic fragility, "I mean... You're a nigh on genius, Blake has his Prefect thing, but what do I have except that? I'm a good lay," She spoke matter of factly, "It matters to me... and I won't the people I like to know that... but I," She looked away, speaking softly, "I wanna have what you had. I... I mean with someone where it matters, an'" Her voice caught in her throat, "I don't have a lotta people on that list... Her voice stretched into a sob as a tear began to trace it's way down her face, "I, ugh, I know Blake about as much as anyone, but he's the only one who actually talked to me normally, who could fuck me if he wanted..." Lexi was **** on her tears now.

Daria brought her into a hug. She could tell this was very different to how Lexi had been last time she had been crying. Then, they had been tears of worry on her behalf, easily eased by her recovery, but now, now they were something worse, something deeper.

Lexi was burying her face in the crook of her sister's neck, her wet nose pressed against her soft fur as she wept. She clung to her, **** for the comfort she offered and was held in return. The pair were entangled for a good few minutes as Lexi's shuddering sobs slowly calmed down into shaky breaths.

Daria stroked her sister's head, running her fingers through the velvety tan fur. It took some coaxing, but eventually she was able to get Lexi to look at her, her blue eyes shining from the moisture. "I think," She began, choosing her words carefully, "I think we should both talk to Blake. Together."

Lexi sniffled, "Are ya sure. It'll be awkward I don't wanna put you through that... Or get between ya." She reached over to the bedside, grabbing a tissue and heavily blowing her nose.

Daria just squeezed her gently, "I think we should. Look at you, I can't let you be like this." She saw Lexi go to say something but cut her off, "And don't feel guilty. It is my choice and of course I'd always choose to help you!" She hugged Lexi tighter, "I don't want to see you hurting okay?"

Lexi nodded, she was about to say something when she was interrupted by the sound of padding paws behind her.
