《Just a Dream (First Draft)》Chapter 21 - Privileges of Power

HA, ha, ha
Again, warmth comes to me from the inside and I lose my strength. Without strength I collapsed on my brother with my back to his chest. Both of us were breathing harder and enjoying the aftermath of pleasure we had experienced.
Right now, I was in my brothers room again and this will be the last time I will be able to enjoy this. In a few hours my brother will be gone for who knows how long and I will go to my normal life with a few extras, that's all.
Craning my neck to the right a bit I looked at my brother's face as he looked at mine. We didn't say anything for some time, but now I broke that silence. “ Brother, I really love this, but I really would love for you to stay forever and if that is not possible, well I would love to come with you to see the World at least. I know you said that you don't know what will happen on your trip but are you 100% certain that I can't come with you? ”
He only looked at me for a bit but his answer didn't change one bit. “ Yes, I am sorry. I told you before, so there is no need to confirm it. I am more interested in what brought it up again, what is it that you want to ask truly? ”
` Heh, we got so close these two days, that it's as if we could read each other's thoughts. `
“ Brother, what will happen when you come back. Will we continue this relationship and hide it from everybody? I don't want to hide it but at the same time I am scared that if people find out they will condemn us for it as we did something that should not be done. ”
As I opened my heart about my worries, my brother's face showed full focus on me. Not missing any and every information I had said and shown only to him. “ I see, so that's what's been bothering you all day. I was wondering if you will tell me before I go. ”
“ Ok, we have time let's talk this out. ” He said. “ Let's not say what will happen when I come back as I do not know the timetable for that. It could be that by the time I return you will turn into a full grown up woman with an adult body and charm and it would be even harder to resist you. ”
As he imagined an adult version of me I could still feel him react inside me as we had not yet separated. ` Hmph, still teasing me. ` With that I picked his arm and pinched it hard with my nails.
“ Aau, that hurts, Heh, still embarrassed are you? You don't have to be. I do not have to imagine it I know you will turn into a true femme fatale by the time I return. ” With that declaration I felt him twitch inside. Seeing him still teasing me I pinched him again and this time he got serious.
“ OK,OK, I will get serious. Sigh, can't even tease my little sister anymore. To be honest I will miss our interactions the most as unlike you I have a much better memory right now. ” I glared one more time at him and he got the message. “ No, little sister, we won't have to hide when I come back. Well, mostly we won't. I have this idea of taking you with me when you grow up and we could go to all the best places that exist and have fun there. ”

“ As for your other question. If people find out and what they will think about it? Well, to answer it correctly I would need to know the exact problem that is bothering you. Otherwise I could talk on forever and still not get to the core of it. ”
“ Umm, brother, did we do the Right thing in engaging in this Love? ” With that question he only gave me a raised eyebrow for a second but then he placed his left arm around and held me firm. With his right he pulled himself up and me alongside him and leaned on the wall with his back. Now he looked down on me and gave me a short kiss.
When he pulled back from it he spoke again. “ The Right thing? Eh, hmm, the Right thing in relation to what? ”
` What does he mean in relation to what? ` Confusion must have shown on my face as he continued. “ Ok, listen here. When one talks about doing the Right thing, it's usually in comparison to something like ` Doing the Right thing instead of the Wrong thing. ` ”
“ When one thinks with that case, that opens a whole can of new problems. First problem would be, What is Right and What is Wrong? The next problem would be Who decided what is Right or Wrong? After that would be Who enforces that Right or Wrong? ” Again he looked at me and didn't say a thing. ` He wants me to figure it out on my own. `
I looked away from his face to think about it, as it was kind of distracting me. ` What is Right or Wrong in our case? If I think about it like this, then is us expressing our love a bad thing or good thing? `
“ Brother, is our love Right or Wrong to you? ” Now he rolled his eyes as if I said a stupid thing. “ Amila, listen to me. To me our love is genuine. We both love each other and it will stay like that forever unless one of us kicks the crap, so to me it is right. If somebody says otherwise than that is their opinion and I will not bother them and just ignore them, but if they try to interfere with our love then they will have a problem with me. ”
“ So, is your love genuine? ” This time he asked me and there was no need for me to question it.
“ Of course it is. ” With that we kissed again.
“ Then you got your answer, our love is Right. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Let's continue our talk. Who decides what is Right or Wrong? ”
“ Umm, people? ” Unsure I could only say the obvious. “ Well, yes People or Society in general but what a Society thinks is Right depends on a lot of things. But they can be summarized in two things, Laws and Customs. ”
` Laws and Customs? ` I didn't say anything to interrupt him. “ First let's start with Customs. Customs come from tradition. Tradition comes from the environments the people lived in. From there comes the majority of influences a society has gathered over the many years it has lived in that environment. But even there, what constitutes as Right changes with Time. ”
“ You with me so far? ” With a nod from me he continued. “ So with that in our minds lets see why our love would be Right or Wrong. Since we both have established that we both think our relationship is Right, then only Society will come and say that it's a bad thing. The reason they would think it's bad is that it was passed down to us through Religion or Customs that it's a bad thing. They won't understand the true reason and just repeat what was taught to them like a certain bird and it wont change their mind. ”

“ So we can ignore them, but usually there is some truth to anything. Hmm, long ago there were people who had the same relationship we do now and when they had children they turned faulty or something. So it was passed down that it was a bad thing to do. But of course the truth is just hidden. “
“ Let's say you and I decided sometime in the future to have babies. ” The moment he said babies my embarrassment skyrocketed, but if he noticed or not he didn't say and just continued. “ Our children will not have any problems at all. None, the problem would only happen if let's say our children did the same, and the same happened to their children. Due to the lacking genetic diversity only then would the problems appear but like I said for that to happen it would take a few generations. ” Stopping his explanation he looked at my face straight.
'' So if it's the Society aspect of Right or Wrong then it still doesn't change anything. What if we just don't have children or as it will probably be in our case what if we could ignore the problem of genetic diversity altogether. Remember what I said about Life Essence. With it it's quite easy to fix any problem that could potentially appear. ” Ah, right Life Essence and its power over biological Life. “ Since it's both Right and Wrong at the same time it becomes invalid what they think about us. We just simply ignore them. ”
“ Does that help you? ” I nodded and declared. “ They don't matter to us right? ”
“ Yes, they don't matter at all. And when it comes to Law, well I have not looked at it in any detail but as neither of us forced the other one into this, it is a willing relationship so pure Law should not bother us I think, but as with everything else there are exceptions and that is the third point we will talk about now. ” Hearing that really settles my worries.
“ So the third point is. Who enforces what is Right or Wrong? ” I don't even have to think about this. “ Its the police right? ” Brother looked at me for a bit and raised his right hand and chopped on my head lightly.
“ Well, you're not wrong but you're not right either. It's People again. ” People?
“ Yes, since both Law and Customs are made by People of course it will be enforced by People. And here is where everything gets blurry. If people truly followed Law then they can not do a thing against us but if Customs come into contact with Law then Law gets bent so that people in charge will feel like they are Right and enforce their belief on others. ”
This time I interrupted my brother. “ So, if people find out about us, there will be problems? ”
“ Not exactly. When Law and Customs interfere with each other it gives birth to a third thing called Power and Privileges. ” Ok, this time I know for sure what he is talking about. “ You mean that those with Power and Privileges can ignore the Law and Customs. ”
Brother only nodded. “ Yup, of course they can't ignore it totally as then they would be kicked out of society if they did they would lose everything. Knowing they can't openly interfere, they do backroom deals with others. And that is the birthplace of Politics. ”
“ Politics? But brother, if people don't like what we do, then they will influence those in Power so they will make problems for us right? Even if we declare it was our genuine Love that brought us here, People will ignore that so why do you think it won't be a problem for us? “ I am truly curious as to why he would think like that. Wait, could it be. “ Brother, could it be because of your Power that they won't bother us. ”
“ That is an excellent analogy but you still don't understand the full extent of it. Listen, remember that day we talked on the mountain and what I said what humans truly are? ” Mountain? Humans? “ Ah, you mentioned that humans are not inherently good or bad but selfish at the heart. ”
“ Yes, for every human or other biological lifeform it will always be first I, then YOU second and only in third place or maybe even lower will come society. '' Hmph, selfish indeed. “ Yes, there can be problems with a relationship like ours so as was custom for the people in charge they either ignore those they cant affect like those in power and only go for those they can to enforce their beliefs, and those would be the common citizens of a country. ”
“ So, those of us without any power have no choice but to follow Law and for those in power it's very easy to circumvent it altogether. ” With that conclusion, brother nodded to me. “ Yes, those in power will not care for the truth. They will see our relationship and think it was me that forced myself on you. With that obvious fact in place, truth won't matter and they will send enforcers against me for a heinous crime I did not commit. ”
“ And this is where your Power will come into play? Am I right? ” Brother nodded again. “ Yes, first of course I will talk to them to resolve this, but even now I know they won't listen as they almost never listen. If that won't work, then I will pay a formal visit to the one in charge and talk to him and make him see reason and if they still won't see reason well for that a few broken bones will fix the problem. And if that still is not enough then I will just get rid of them. ”
“ For you see, the oldest of Laws in the Universe are not made by humans but by those that survive. They may have Power and Privileges given to them by Society as they serve that Society but I on the other hand have Power not given to me by others but by creating it myself. “ This time brother smirked as he explained. “ And if that Power is strong enough, you bend the others to your will and not them bending you to theirs. ”
“ So little sister, if we declare that our Love is genuine then there is not one thing they can do to us. Does that ease your mind? ” I thought a bit about it but only one conclusion came. “ Not really. All you did was explain that you can make it justified if needed and that people will still think we did something Wrong. ”
I heard my brother sigh to my declaration. “ Amila, ok let me explain it like this. Who is the most famous couple in the World? “ Ah, couple? Who could it be? “ Ok, no need to think hard about it, it's pretty easy. Think, they are portrayed in many legends and myths, movies too. Oh and it's related to religion. ”
Ok, now it's easy to guess. “ Adam and Eve in Christianity? ” He nodded. “ Yes, according to their accounts on how humanity was created first came Adam, and Eve was made out of his ribs, which by the way is pure bullshit just like their so called Bible is 90% religious bullshit and the other 10% historical facts. Oh, where was I, ah yes, its bullshit because if their God truly made everything then as he came first he would be without gender and would not be referred as a HE and if it did create humans in his image then at most he would have made a copy of himself and split that into two, not creating one out of the other. ”
I wanted to stop my brother with his furious explanation but something deep within me reacted and I realized something ` How is he still hard after all this time? `
“ Brother, get to the point. ” If I don't make him focus he would probably go on like that forever with the emotions transferred to me as a reference point.
“ Ah, yes, sorry. Here let me explain. If we ignore the religious bullshit then the oldest incest relationship according to them was Adams and Eves, and even if they can justify their genetics as different from the beginning and not familial at all, what about their children then? Their children would have fucked like hell to create as many humans as possible to populate the World. And that is only one religion, what about the others, were Gods fucked like rabbits like in the Greek Pantheon. ” Ah, again I felt my brother move his rod.
“OK, OK, I get it brother, I was stupid to even worry about this. Can you make your thing stop moving. Anyway, how are you still hard after all this time? ” This time I didn't see it but I felt as if he rolled his eyes again. “ Privileges of Power my dear little sister. Those that have Power and know how to use it can do anything they want and get away with it. It's that simple. ”
With that brother gripped me around again and pushed me down on the bed, chest down, back up and we continued our Love making for a bit more.
