Dirty Talk/Three Brats/June 19th, 2021/Family Secrets

My mother sure was tight-lipped about everything yesterday. She didn't ask me about my thoughts, and when I approached her myself, she just shrugged it off and said, "later, sweetie". In fact, she was unusually quiet, period. She did stare at me throughout the dinner with a puzzling smile on her lips, but I have no idea what that was supposed to mean. Something's on her mind for sure…

I have no idea what today will bring, but I know both of my parents will be home since it's the weekend. Kind of makes me wonder, would my mother dare make me do something with my father around? Does he even know? Or is she actually having second thoughts about this whole arrangement? That would be a little disappointing, I think… I hope we will talk more today…

I need to pee… Then I'll go downstairs and watch Saturday morning cartoons for a while or something…

---

Am I seriously the first one up? Well, whatever, I can just vibe in my pajamas and watch whatever Disney Channel has on…

Phineas and Ferb reruns? Seriously? Whatever… Better than nothing… The cartoon's alright… I guess I could fire up Disney+ and catch up on Mandalorian…

Oh, look who's up early. Good morning.

G-good morning…

Okay, listen… Can we talk? Care if I sit down?

Is it about "that"…?

Yes, it is about "that" indeed.

But before we talk about anything else… You were out quite a lot yesterday, weren't you? Did you end up doing anything?

No, not yesterday. I just hung out with my friends.

Really? I won't be angry no matter what you did, you know…

I'm being honest. We met at the park, talked for a while, and decided that we would just hang out like normal. Play around and talk about our hobbies and interests, no stars anywhere to be seen…

I mean, you at least remember me coming home to get the Switch? Milka has one too, so we visited each other's islands.

Oh, that does sound nice. I believe you.

Not like I had any reason to lie to begin with…

Ehh, it's not like that… I was just worried you could still have reservations talking about this stuff with me…

No, not anymore. It's all right.

Do you have absolutely any regrets about what happened two days ago?

Are you worried?

I know you had fun, but regret can sometimes creep up on you later. I most certainly have regrets of my own…

No, it was fun all around, mom. I would even do it again.

You have no idea how happy it makes me to hear you say that.

I was quite okay with taking a day off yesterday, but today I have something exciting planned for you. Are you up for a bit of fun?

After two wonderful experiences already, first with my brother and then with Heidi's old man, the only question I have in my mind is "what".

I'm all ears…

Hmmm… Actually, save that thought for a while. I have a fun idea for what you could do today, but we must discuss something more pressing first. Basically, I've been thinking about some … let's just say, tough questions…

First of all, would you mind disclosing WHO exactly was your first?

Promise you won't get mad?

I can't believe I'm gonna tell her…

It… was Sven.

*gasp* Your own brother…?

He… knew about the stars… and tried to talk me out of wearing them at first, and in a sense, he kind of succeeded as I decided to stay home, but it led to me actually doing it with him…

This happened just a day before I saw you and Danny do that stuff with your… Y'know…

Oh my God… This is juicy… Very, very juicy indeed… This is much better than I hoped for!

Does he know about yesterday then?

N-no…

Let's keep it that way. For now, at least. Since you two DO have history, we can maybe use this to our advantage in the future…

What does she mean by that? Well, whatever… I'm just glad she's not angry or sad or anything…

Let's get back to more pressing matters. I'm worried about your father, you see. How do you think he'd react if he knew that his daughter was a lewd little Star-Bearer?

…Disappointed?

*sigh* That would still be an alright reaction. I may be worried for nothing, but I fear he could be angry, even furious, especially if he knew I was involved.

Isn't that something you should've worried about earlier?

Y-yeah, it is… I-it's just…

*sigh* I'm not a perfect woman… I'm quite flawed, in fact… Dumb even…

It's okay, mom. Dad doesn't need to know.

Well, if you feel that way, then sure, we can keep it that way…

But it won't stop bugging me, as I believe this is critically important. I've even thought of a way we'll figure out how he could potentially react to you - or I guess us - playing this game without actually putting our family's happiness and well-being in harm's way.

Why not just ask him and be honest?

Y-you just don't get it… It's not that easy…

I can't be the one to approach him.

So you want me to do the dirty work instead?

I'd rather not, but there's no other way. It MUST be you. It's the only way for my plan to work.

What's your plan then?

I want you to wear a pink star on your arm, and I want you to show it to your father.

No, scratch that. You can't show it. You can't be direct. It has to be made to look like an accident, but he NEEDS to see it drawn on your body.

Does he know what it means then?

Of course he does. Your father grew up here, and he HAS taken part in these activities himself, but that was then, and he has changed since. That's why how he'll react to it will be crucial. It can reveal to us how he could potentially react to me being involved as well, which will give me invaluable clues regarding how we must proceed with this.

That does sound like a good idea, but I have some reservations…

Like, what if he gets really, REALLY angry at me?

I… I don't know… That would be the worst-case scenario for us for sure…

I guess, in that scenario, you would just have to promise him you wouldn't do this stuff anymore, and we would leave it at that. Who knows, maybe we would have to cancel this whole arrangement between us altogether.

Okay… Sounds extreme, but yeah, it might be necessary…

And what if he wants to take advantage of me?

*giggle* Do you even need to ask? You know exactly what to do when discovered with a pink star…

*gulp*

I-I'm not sure if I'd have the heart for it…

I guarantee you, my husband is a wonderful lover! Besides, you've already done it with your brother, so you shouldn't have a problem doing it with a family member.

M-mom, this is completely different. He's not my brother; he's my DAD. My brother's an idiot, but he's a likable idiot, and someone who I, at the end of the day, see as my equal.

But my father… He… He's the most amazing man in the world… I… I can't imagine doing it with him… He's a role model for me…

Well, if that's how you truly feel, I don't want to force you. That's why I want you to make the decision here.

Oh-kaaay…

Like I already said, if you don't want to go along with this, I'm alright with this being a secret between the two of us, and a select few outsiders. In fact, I think that there's something incredibly sexy about doing something so wild and so inappropriate that we wouldn't even dare to disclose it to the man of the house, your father, my husband…

I mean, I want to know how he would react, but at the same time… Does the thought of it not make your heart pound a little?

It does make my heart pound, and I'd much rather keep this a secret between only the two of us, so the choice should be a no-brainer for me. The fewer people know, the better, but this isn't just about me anymore. This thing we have has just as much to do with my mom, and I can see where she's coming from. She made me do something naughty without consulting him first, without knowing how he would react if he knew, and that troubles her. She sounds SUPER worried, and knowing how dad would react also seems to mean a lot to her. She wants that peace of mind. No, she NEEDS it.

I've made up my mind…
