Not Quite Pillow Talk

"Sister," Starfire says, tugging at Blackfire's arm. "You don't have to go, stay the night!"

Blackfire looks at you, asking with her eyes.

"Fine, fine," you say. "But i'm not sleeping alone this time," you say.

"Alright," Blackfire says, "I'll stay with you. Even though we're always in the same bed when we're at home."

"Then I'll keep Starfire company!" Flashfire says, holding on to Starfire's arm. "I'm always by myself when I sleep."

Everyone goes to their rooms, you four Tamaranians heading down one hall together. Flashfire and Starfire enter Starfire's room, and you and Blackfire enter the other one across the hall.

Blackfre lays down, pulling you on top of her.

"Didn't you get enough earlier?" you ask.

"Not really," she replies with a naughty smile.

"Can we try that 'customary ritual' thing?" you ask.

"What 'ritual'?"

"The one for lovers when they mate."

Blackfire looks at you as she sits up.

"Saffire, it's a little late for that," she says.

"What?" You sit up and look at her. "Why is it too late?"

"Well, it's for lovers' FIRST time," she says. "We had ours in that bar on Modos, remember?"

You mouth an "Oohh" in understanding.

"Wait, where did you hear about the ritual?" she asks. "I know you left Tamaran before you were old enough to be told about it, and I didn't tell you, and I KNOW you wouldn't talk to your sister about it."

You sit for a moment, an awkward silence coming over the room.

"Hey, can we try that grebnak thing ag--"

"You asked MY sister?!" Blackfire hisses.

"No!" you answer quickly. "I wouldn't ask your sister about it anymore than I would ask mine."

Blackfire gasps.

"You talked to ROBIN about their first time!"

More silence.

"Yes," you finally say.

*SMACK* Blackfire slaps you in the shoulder.

"I can't believe you talked to him about that! When did you talk about it?!"

"While dinner was being made."

*SMACK* Another slap to the shoulder.

"But he didn't go into detail!" you say before she can hiss at you again. "He just told me they did it!"

"Saffire, I was supposed to talk with her about it first!" Blackfire huffs and puffs as she lies down in bed.
