Shattered Ignorance

I follow my gut, it's led me pretty well so far. Through the winding hallways and corridors, until I arrive at the cafeteria. If in doubt, assume Poppy's hungry. Sure enough, I spot Marie and Rosie sat at a nearby table, no sign of my remaining sibling though. No time to worry about that, I hurriedly approach them, unable to hide the adrenaline pumping through my veins.

"Where's Poppy?" I ask, without greeting them. I don't have time to be pleasant right now, I have to make sure we're all on the same page before Trish decides to pick us off.

Rosie seems bemused by my sudden appearance. "Hello to you too, I'm having a wonderful morning, thanks for asking." She answers sarcastically, before acknowledging the urgency in my tone. "She already left, said she had to talk to a teacher."

That might be for the best, based on what Trish said she might not know that Poppy and I kissed, and these two already know about each other so it'll make it less awkward. "Come with me, now." I order them.

"Ooh, so commanding, I could get used to that." Marie quips, apparently less intuitive to my mood than my sister, but follows all the same. I lead the girls through to the old Science lab, it should be out of the way enough to avoid eavesdroppers.

I explain my meeting with Trish, what she knew, our argument... Everything. "You... Really fought for us, huh?" Rosie thinks aloud. "I was worried I'd forced you into something." She adds, before moving closer for a hug, which I reciprocate.

"Mum hacked my messages? I still can't believe it. I mean, I knew it was possible... I just never thought she'd do it." Marie admits, her sadness evident in her voice. Rosie turns from me while keeping one arm around my waist, beckoning Marie to join us. I almost expect her to refuse, but soon enough, she's in our arms too. "I'm so sorry, I exposed all of us, I shouldn't have been so careless." She whimpers.

"Don't say that." I tell her. "It takes two people to have a conversation, and I didn't think of it either." I point out, although, being as dumb as me is far from a compliment, I suppose.

Rosie does a much better job of reassuring her. "Stop talking like it's over, I didn't confess just to get shut down after one fuck. We're going to sort this out." She decides. Far from the purest intentions, but I'd rather she be true to herself. "We just need a way to change Trish's mind, she's not unreasonable, she's just... Got some preconceived notions."

I mean, what we're doing was illegal not that long ago, it makes sense she'd have some biases against it. "I don't know if we can, that stuff's deeply ingrained, besides, I gave it my best shot, and she still seemed mad when I left." I explain, trying to think of another way of attack.

"Well, if you won't say the obvious, I will." Marie sighs. Is there an obvious solution? If she's going to suggest that we give up then I'm gonna let Rosie slap her. "One of us is going to have to seduce my Mum." She announces.

Right. Wait, no, what? "Are you serious?" Rosie asks for me. "I mean, I get where you're coming from, she can't judge us for something she's a part of, but it's a big deal... You're suggesting we get your Mum to cheat."

Strategically, it definitely makes sense, and it's not like Trish isn't a smokeshow, I've already come to terms with being attracted to her, it can't make it worse in that sense... "Don't be ridiculous, they've both slept with other people, usually together... They even compete as to who can pull the hotter person... Besides all that, I know you two both want to." Marie states, with a slight smirk.

"Oh yeah, like you aren't curious yourself!" I argue, there's no way Marie's gone as far as we have and she hasn't even considered it. Confirming my suspicions, she remains silent in response to my accusation. "I guess... Who's gonna be the one to try?" I ask, silently hoping they agree for me to do it.

"I'm gonna veto myself, I think fucking her own daughter might be a harder ask right off the bat." Marie replies. "Out of the two of you... I guess whoever's the most skilled. The plan only works if she has a good time."

Well that makes it simple. "Well, I'm the only one that's been with a woman, so I guess that'd be me." I state triumphantly. Being a man-whore has finally paid off in my favour. Though Rosie seems to disagree.

"Bullshit, I am a woman, girls know what girls like. Besides, she's married to a woman, it's clearly her preference." My sister counters. It's a valid point, but it's not as if I haven't already considered it.

"You assume, you could be shit at fucking women for all you know, it's too much of a risk to put on an unknown entity." I interject. Look at me with the scientific analysis, hanging out in this abandoned lab really has rubbed off on me.

"Enough!" Marie cuts us both off. "This arguing's pointless, if you need a judge for who's a better fuck... Then I'll decide." She states, her eyes turning to Rosie. "What're... What're you doing after school?" She asks. Rosie's face lights up, clearly understanding what our cousin is getting at before responding.

"Apparently... You."
