Danny stood at the edge of Lili's designated space, all muscles and smiling teeth and flowing hair. Lili watcher her brother, the way the tips of his hair traced the defined but not over-large muscles of his chest. The way his hand slid up the thigh of his jeans, just like... just like... a woman would.
Lili shook her head roughly to clear her head of thoughts of her brother. "Was there something you wanted, Danny?"
Danny looked at his sister, and his mouth opened, but no words came out. His forehead wrinkled with concentration, but nothing seemed to come to him.
Suddenly, it occurred to Lili. I changed his brain, she thought, by insisting we weren't having sex. Now he has no thought at hand, because I made the thought go away.
Then the idea completed itself in Lili's mind: If I have to specify that my brother and I are not having sex, that means it's unusual. That means brothers and sisters in this world have sex on the regular, and I'm the weird one for holding out.

The confusion left Danny's face immediately. "I was just wondering, Lili, why haven't we had sex yet?"
Lili forced her mind to go blank. So far, every time she'd tried to explain anything, she'd made unwitting changes in the world that made things even weirder. She wouldn't make it worse now. So she tried yoga breathing and tried to make all thoughts go away until she could sit down and quietly figure out what to do.
Danny wouldn't be persuaded, though. "Do you think I'm attractive?"
In her yogic state, Lili couldn't lie to her brother. "Yes."
"And I think you're attractive," Danny said. "And it's like Mom said, someday you're going to marry a man, and someday I'm going to marry a woman. And it's only right that we know how to please our future spouses. Who better to teach us how to love, than somebody we already love? Shouldn't brother and sister be each other's first time?"
Lili was so surprised, she couldn't keep her mind blank. That... that actually makes perfect sense, she thought.

Danny strode up to Lili, a path that took only two steps now that he had long, powerful legs. He wrapped one arm around his sister's waist, pulling her body into his, and cupped his other hand on his sister's cheek. Lili could feel her brother's firm, muscled chest against her breasts, his hand warmly cupping the tender skin at the small of her back, and all at once the blood rushed from her head, straight into her loins.
"Teach me how to love, sister," Danny whispered, just an inch from his sister's face. "Teach me how to bring joy to a woman's heart." Then he kissed her, with all the eager, clumsy passion of a handsome teenage boy's first kiss.
Wow, Lili thought. I could fall in love with my brother like this.
