Sepicriting

If you prepared beforehand to confess to both of them by taking them someplace nice, Varis picks up rather quickly that you’re trying to woo them. He’d spend the entire time giving you knowing grins behind his sister’s back, and play dumb when you ask him what’s up. He’d keep up the poorly-concealed act until you break the ice and say you like them both.

Now, about confessing to only one of the twins… You would be in for a lot of risk here. The entire reason why the twins come in a package and not separately is all because they know they would kill each other if one or the other has your heart. They still do care about each other to a certain degree, enough to steer away from murdering, so to have you confessing to only one is akin to a dam breaking — Disaster will strike.

Lina, on the other hand, would be none the wiser. She’ll overthink and inwardly fawn over your attempts to romance them, but then quickly scold herself and say that she’s still not quite your type and she has to try harder to embody that. Hearing you say that you like them both would cause her brain to short-circuit and her face to overheat. But nonetheless, she would happily be with you! And her brother too, she supposes…

The tricky part is that you’re kept unaware of the twins’ dark sides, so you wouldn’t be able to hear about it until the twin of your choice lets you know what the other’s been doing behind your back — Of course, they’re completely innocent! They were just scared/wary of their twin doing anything to you if you found out…so please don’t be upset at them!

The next course of action they would do depends on who you’ve chosen to confess to.

Lina would take you elsewhere, somewhere FAR away, someplace you won’t be hurt or involved. Sadly, this would mean that you would have to give up using technology and switch to more traditional ways of life — the only thing that would be left is an old television. She’s well-aware that her brother would be able to track both of you with his talents, so you’d be subjected to a life of constant fear and protection with Lina. Going to your family was out of the question, Varis wouldn’t hesitate to take them down too.

She’d be updated on all the recent deaths on the news, a trail of bodies leading closer and closer to where you are. And she’s not stupid, she knows this is his doing. It wouldn’t be long before he’s found you.

Ultimately, you might wake up to find someone dead at your door. Just pray that it isn’t the woman who's been keeping you safe.

Varis wouldn’t go to such extremes, not at first. He’d keep you right where you are, insisting to let him do all of the work. Though you’re scared of what Lina might do, he’s calm, with business as usual as he types away on his laptop an hour after you’ve learned the truth. That’s not quite correct though, he’s only keeping it together because he knows what he does next is crucial to being with you. Even as you face Lina with Varis, you keep his words in mind on how to behave so you wouldn’t be next. Wouldn’t be suspected.

He arranges a huge scandal that discredits Lina in the form of a post, exposing her for all of her misdeeds and nasty actions. It’s enough to cause her to riot, but you wouldn’t be there to witness it as you’ve fled.

You wouldn’t hear anything about her from Varis for a long while. He’s kept you in the dark, though you know he’s been keeping tabs on her behind the scenes. He’s trying to give you some semblance of a normal life, and maybe you appreciate that… Though, when the doorbell rang and the police stood before the barrier, telling Varis that he would be arrested, you completely missed the familiar figure of Lina watching in the distance.

The moment they realize that you're comfortable and secure in your shared dynamics, they'll be more attentive to your reactions when they initiate intimacy. They would stay as detached from each other as possible throughout sex, as they aren't incestuous, but they'd work together so you'll feel heaven.

Your first time will be with both of them of course. They'll make sure you'll be pampered and spoiled by ensuring you'd just be lying down. Just stay good for them and they'll take care of the rest.

For as much touching as Varis enjoys doing, Lina will always be the one to initiate if you don't, with innocent kisses turning heated the longer you let her lips on yours. She'd tug your clothes and start begging if she could please start touching you? Though Varis would cut in before you could answer, savoring the taste of your mouth.

And where Lina's desperation lies, Varis's greed reigns. His kisses will never be anything short of intense, you'll be gasping for air by the time he pulls away. By that time, Lina would have already made quick work of your clothes and you’d be half-naked.

She'd take a moment to appreciate your nipples, circling before gently pressing down, leaving kitten licks and kisses all around before she'd move downwards.

Varis wouldn't pass up any opportunity to mark your neck after he kisses you dizzy, leaving a trail of dark hickeys while palming you through your underwear. Trailing your arousal, yet never quite adding the pressure you want. It's only when Lina reaches your lower half that he'll relent, moving out of the way to let her unveil you as if you were her favorite present.

Every time she sees your arousal, she'll always stop to stare. Who wouldn't? You're everything she'll ever want and more, she'll always be eager to please if it means you'll let her see these parts of you. She'll make sure to slowly rub you, kissing your inner thighs before descending to feast on your hole as if she were starving, diving her tongue in without caring, listening to your noises as her wetness begins to pool.

Varis will take his sweet time teasing your upper half while Lina occupies your bottom half, his cock in one hand and watching you moan when he nips your chest and leaves love bites everywhere.

The instant you cum for them, Lina will make sure she gets every last drop, lapping you clean before sitting beside you and pressing kisses to your face, all the while Varis would take his spot between your legs.

He'd tug his pants and kick them off, leaning forward to tower over you. He wanted to be the one to finish you off, hushedly whispering for you to relax and kissing your collarbone, then pushing himself in.

To say that his length was long would be an understatement, he was stretching you out and he hasn't even bottomed out. He'd kiss your forehead to ease you as he sunk further in, but the relieved smile he would give you would leave you feeling butterflies in your stomach. He'd wait a moment for you to get used to him, not minding how Lina would reach and turn your head for another kiss.

But once she pulls away, Varis would be done waiting, and he'd be pulling out to thrust into you in one go, groaning against your throat and biting softly. It felt good to hear your cries and the noises that escaped your lips, your volume increasing with every fervent movement of his hips. With every grunt Varis gives, every kiss Lina steals, you'd inevitably come undone first. The feeling of being held tightly and surrounded with warmth makes your orgasm almost worth it.

Almost. But there's still time for Varis and Lina for their release too.

You'd watch them, realizing that Lina had been knuckle-deep into herself all this time, nearing her climax from just watching, and Varis's fingers were beginning to dig painfully into your thighs as his thrusts slowed down, compensating for how deep and good it felt, sending you into a state of overstimulation.

You were theirs now, nothing could take you from them, and Varis was going to make sure to rail that fact into you. That way, should you ever come to question their devotion, you'd at least never doubt the intimacy they give.

And the moment they near their end, their breathing would grow ragged until they each reached their peak. Lina would immediately snuggle to your left, eyes glazed over from the afterglow of pleasure, while Varis took to your right, a quiet smugness in his eyes as he silently admired you.

Even through the emotions you felt at that moment, you would receive a loving kiss from both sides, drifting to sleep with whispers of staying together forever filling your ears.

Today, you had an outing scheduled with Lina and Varis. It was nothing serious, the three of you agreed over text that you would be having a picnic at the park that night. It just so happened that there would be a fireworks show then, they thought you would’ve wanted to watch it together. Of course, it would probably be a little overcrowded, but they were both kind enough to go earlier than the meeting time to get a spot and set up.

Seriously, it felt like you were being treated like royalty when it came to those two. But it’s been happening for so long that you’re past the point of feeling guilty and raising your concerns with them, maybe even sometimes expecting that treatment.

You shook your head. You’re not spoiled. But you wouldn’t blame yourself if you started thinking that way, with how much the twins have been conditioning you into being okay with it. Maybe you could even say you hated that you’ve grown accustomed to it.

After taking one last glance at the mirror to make sure you were ready, you set out to go to the park a few minutes earlier than planned, with a text sent to let them know you were already coming.

To your surprise, Varis was the first one to respond. He let you know he’ll come fetch you when you arrive. But it was a bit strange to you, considering that Lina was always the one coming to get you for meetups. You were never really able to have time alone with Varis since his sister was always around.

Upon arrival, he was already standing there waiting for you with a hand tucked into his pocket. Considering how tall he was, it wasn’t that hard to spot him. And before you could even call out to him, he was already looking at you, quickly striding past people staring at him to tower over your front.

“Y’look nice tonight.” He murmured, hand moving to grasp yours. Though people were looking at him, he was only looking at you. “Thought y’would come later, but ‘m glad you’re here now.” You felt his thumb running along the back of your hand before he slowly guided you forward. “Lina’s waiting.”

Right, Lina. Varis’s presence got a little too overwhelming, you almost forgot her.

With his guidance, Varis led you away from the crowds and couples on blankets, farther away from the entrance to the park and deeper in. He moved to your front, blocking branches and leaves when you went through bushes and into another clearing where not a single soul was in sight.

What you saw instead was a cozy setup, warm lighting from lanterns and fireflies littered about. In the center stood Lina by a picnic blanket and a basket with food and drinks decorating it, her hair up in a messy bun and wearing a dress she thought you’d like in a partner earlier that day. Her eyes widened seeing you, her breath taken by your appearance as usual.

“Oh, firestorm—” She moved towards you, Varis stepping back and allowing Lina to place her hands on your arms and a look of awe in her eyes. “You have no idea how much we’ve been waiting for you!” She gestured over to the picnic setup, quirking her head. “The fireworks will start a bit, come on and eat!”

She didn’t wait for your reply before she practically tugged you along to settle down. You spent the time eating and chatting with the twins when Lina pointed upwards to the sky. “Look, it’s starting!”

You sat in silence as the firework show began, too absorbed in the flashes of colors to notice the twins moving closer to you until you could feel the warmth of their bodies caging you. When you looked back to question them, they each took your hands. While Varis looked normal, Lina had a look of subtle nervousness.

“Firestorm…? We…asked you to come tonight to…” Lina trailed off, bracing herself to say it when you felt your chin get turned and Varis was staring into you. “We like you. D’you feel the same for us?”

That’s…a good question.

Do you?

For the start of the transformation, she'll likely imitate the fashion styles that are popular nowadays regardless of whether she thought they were her thing or not. If what’s in season are lace headscarves, tote bags, or summer shades, she's likely wearing them! Of course, they’re all only placeholder items in her closet for when she transitions into styles you like in a partner, unless they are what you like then they’re there to stay.

You want a girl who dresses in mainstream fashion? Lina’s dressing up in brands she knows you like. You think goths are hot? Guess her foundation’s white now! Love cottagecore? She’s suddenly wearing vintage skirts and her tops with ruffle sleeves.

The thing with Lina is that she's always trying to discover new ways to attract your attention. Trips to malls with you, window-shopping, etc., will all help fill her growing closet with things she thinks you like on a significant other. This can even go to extreme lengths such as adopting traits or habits relating to the fashion styles you enjoy. She’s willing to change every single part of herself to your tastes.

All-in-all, she'll say she doesn't have any preferences in fashion for the sole reason of being admired by you.

But really, does it matter what she thinks she likes as long as you think she's your type?

The circumstances around them seemed to spark intrigue amongst your classmates. You heard offhand comments here and there. Something about their origins, their sense of style…and the hyperbolic rumors of a murder caused by one. You think the last one was blown out of proportion, but then again there was a certain level of truth to some rumors. You really don’t want to entertain the thought of a cold-blooded killer attending the same institute, you don’t want to grow paranoid before you even get to second semester.

You decided you could try to at least figure them out. Maybe they weren’t so bad? The opportunity to meet other classmates was also something you kept at the forefront of your mind with academics, though it wasn't very difficult to keep track of as long as you kept your priorities straight.

You first meet the older twin of the two, Vitalina, after participating in a debate in one of your classes. While you were trying your best to give your contributions, Vitalina was on the opposing end with her head hung low all-throughout. It was kind of weird, but that wasn't the only odd thing she did during class. She spent half of the lecture always alone playing cards. Sometimes, she was joined by other people who wanted to connect, but she seemed reluctant to spend time with anyone so they always backed away.

It wasn't until later that day in the library that you found her doing homework all by herself. She didn't seem to realize that you'd approached her at first, as it took her a minute to finally look at you. She stilled upon noting your presence, worried that you had caught her having difficulty understanding the material. And you did.

Her eyes narrowed as you offered to help, slowly nodding before she looked back down. "...Yeah." Her tone was soft. Sliding her paper towards you, her gaze remained distant. With her consent, you took a seat beside her.

You didn't realize it then, but you sealed your fate.

With your help, Vitalina was steadily able to keep up with her classes, and in the process, you were able to learn a lot more about her. You discovered that she had the tendency to be bored and detached from the things she became interested in, thus explaining a lot of her weird behaviors during lectures. However, the funny thing is that... She started to take an interest in you, and it didn’t seem like she was going to be bored of you anytime soon.

The changes were subtle at first, increasing inch by inch, enough for you to be unable to register them until someone else pointed it out.

Over weeks, Vitalina had begun to act strangely — or, normally, which was unusual. Her hair, previously always unruly, was combed and taken care of. She dressed differently, in styles that you had thought to be attractive. It wasn't the same as before, but she seemed to be in a better state now compared to when you first met her. She talked more. She was smiling a lot, making small talk, and laughing along with you whenever you shared jokes with her during your only shared class and your time together in the library. She insisted that only you call her Lina, all while leaning impossibly close the more you physically backed away.

You thought she was clingy. No, not thought— she is clingy, you’re sure of it.

Her interest in you was the only consistent thing you’ve seen since you knew her. At some point, it made you wonder what it was about you that kept her coming back. Sure, it was obvious that you and others began seeing her as a popular girl after the changes, but she never seemed to care. She was completely indifferent to it, only keen on keeping you close for as much as she could help it. And while it could’ve easily been suffocating for you, Lina knew when to snatch you up and when to let you go. You were able to spend time with your other friends with what little slivers of time you could scrape.

You wouldn't have any idea of the disdain she felt towards them. She started thinking that you wouldn't come back to her once you realized how much fun you would be having if you kept away from her. She couldn't have that— No, she really can't stand the idea of that!

It was why she started to chat people up. It seemed like an overnight change. But to her, it was a necessary step in the long run to take the social reputation of others in her control. That way, if anyone were to do anything unsavory and threaten her budding relationship with you, she would be able to simply pull a string to ensure they'd never think of approaching you again.

She never stopped going to the library with you, making up excuses as to why she still needed you around even when you were sure she didn’t need any more help. She kept making excuses to keep your quality time together. She even brings you to go shopping from time to time, with her money always spent on spoiling you with whatever.

Even just looking at an item was enough for her to think you wanted it. If you expressed guilt at accepting all of the expensive gifts she’s given you every time you went out, it was quickly quelled with Lina telling you that she’s only trying to return how happy you’ve made her by spending time with her. You couldn’t bring yourself to reject it all, not when she puts it that way.

Always unable to say no to her, and if you tried Lina was always ready to find excuses, reasons, ways to get you to stay. And it was peaceful that way, her neediness appeased knowing that you had time for her and you stuck to it when you said you would.

Then her brother ruined it.

Try as Lina might to hide it from him, he wasn't blind to the hours she spent prettying herself up for you. At night, he could always see light from underneath her door. If she forgot to close it, he would see her practicing makeup.

She wouldn't do this for herself, no. Varis knew better than that. If it were the case she'd have done it ages ago, so there had to have been a reason. It wasn't long for him to figure out the cause was you. And from what he observed during his time sifting through the photos Lina took with you, you didn't seem to be aware of it. Though that was obvious to him, he felt he hadn't discovered all he needed to know about you before deciding if you were a good or bad influence.

He wanted to observe you from up close.

It was a bold move on his part to sit directly beside you in the library while his sister was on the other side, he was sure he could feel Lina glaring his way when she realized it. You, however, were struck by the physical similarities between the two.

Lina was pretty, yes, but Varis was jaw-dropping. He could’ve easily been the most handsome man you’ve ever seen in your life.

And as much as Lina wanted nothing more than to strangle someone of her blood, she didn't want you to think negatively of her. All she could do was sit tensely as Varis proceeded to make small talk with introductions out of the way. Much to her chagrin, he never left, opting to study in the library for a change with the excuse that the apartment was starting to feel stuffy. He didn't expect himself to like spending that study time with you though, considering he was never interested in socializing with anyone.

When the time came for you to bow out, the two had offered to walk with you to your dorm before they left for their apartment. The walk was silent, tension lingering in the air. For once, the attention you received from Lina was cut in half. When you asked what was wrong, all she did was flash a smile and say that all is well. And while you could’ve easily called her out, you had a feeling that this was a can of worms you didn’t want to open.

Reaching your dormitory, Lina bid you goodbye, wrapping her arms around you. “Bye darling, I’ll see you again another time, okay? Just the two of us.” Pulling away, you gave her a hum before walking inside your dorm to retire. You faintly wondered if whatever she had against her brother would be okay, but you decided it wasn’t your business. Maybe you can pry another time.

The minute you were out of sight, Lina turned to her brother. “Let’s. Go?” The bright tone she used around you was gone, replaced by clipped annoyance. Varis knew he had set her off, thinking that she was for sure going to kill him.

And he wasn’t wrong, the minute they entered their home Lina's first instinct was to grab the nearest object and throw. Varis caught her hand before she could let go of the flower vase. With her strength unmatched, her verbal yells came next.

“Kuces dēls Varis, what the fuck are you trying to do? Are you trying to kill them now? Is that it?!” How did he know about you? Was he trying to take you away?

"Lina," Her shoulders tensed. "'m not takin’ anyone." She didn't realize his other hand had gone to take something from behind him until the object taken had glinted in the dim light of their living space, a knife finding itself being pushed into her grasp. The implications were present, she could kill him right now. She can just bury the blade into the crook of his neck, drag it down his chest and watch him bleed. It’s so easy, he made it so easy—

—And yet, it's so hard for her to outright kill someone, unlike him.

Sucking in her breath, Lina pushed Varis and pointed the edge his way. "Try anything funny and I won't forgive you." His eyes narrowed, holding up his arms in a lackluster manner, expression blank. She was trying so desperately to keep you away from him. Why? What was it about you that had her so wrapped around your finger?

You and your effects on Lina were the only things on his mind when he retired to bed that evening.

The day after, he sought you out. He wanted to know you without Lina's presence, see what about you made her want to stick to you like glue. Though she’s never outright said it, he’s sure that she wants you, more than she’s ever wanted anything else in the world. He cringed, feeling pity. It’s possible his sister must’ve seen you as an object rather than a person and that’s what’s happening. He never would’ve been able to deduce that what she felt for you was anything like love.

But what would happen if he involved himself further? He wanted to make sense of it, and he had a feeling this wasn't going to be the last time he found himself face-to-face with you.

So now here you were, sitting in the library with your laptop open, trying to ignore how much Varis was staring holes into you. You were just trying to keep track of the things you needed to do before the semester ended, streamlining everything and trying not to miss any deadlines, then he just sat beside you without saying a single word.

Weirdo, you thought, subtly turning your head to look at him when your eyes met. “...Varis, right? Can I help you?” You were hesitant to give him your time considering finals week was coming, but if you had to stand another second being stared at, you might just bail on your plans of staying responsible.

“Yeah, mind if I sat here…?”

You’re already sitting there! You bit back your tongue from saying it, instead nodding. “Yeah, I don’t mind.” Not really, as long as he stopped looking at you. It was getting a bit creepy, even if he is a handsome man.

Varis, on the other hand, was perfectly aware that you were uncomfortable. He wondered how you’d behave if you were, and judging by your reaction he understood how you were able to stand his sister’s clinginess. You were just too nice, or maybe too polite to decline. Maybe a feeling of guilt? Surely you knew his sister had no real friends, right?

Regardless, he wasn’t going to come to any conclusions by just observing. He figured he should come to get to know you as a person.

“Do you play?” His question puzzled you, turning to see his laptop out and open as well. The offline dinosaur chrome game on the screen, and the absurdity made you chuckle and shake your head.

“Do you?” Your reply got him quirking his brow, pleasantly taken back. A corner of his lips tugged upwards, feeling drawn to you at that moment.

In a flash, hours passed by. Your responsibilities forgotten as you talked amongst yourselves about your interests and games you played. The more time he spent with you, the more he began to be aware of a growing feeling— A selfish desire to keep you all to himself. He couldn't explain it, but he couldn’t bring himself to get his eyes off you.

He continued to pursue your time and attention after that day, trying to pinpoint a reason why.

And somewhere along the way, the need for knowledge slipped, and what replaced it was the rush of just being with you. And fuck— Now he knows. Now he knows why Lina had been acting strange, why she's changed, why she's so desperate to mold herself into someone you could desire. He understood, now all that was left was this feeling of yearning.

If Lina was doing her best to keep others away from you, he was making sure to erase those who he deemed a threat.

Slowly, people around you trickled less and less. Sudden decisions to relocate, disappearing into other cities, students turning up missing... It started to feel worrisome to you, but Lina was always there to chat you up and take the occurrences off your mind.

She knew who was behind it all. Had it been anyone else, she would've swept you along to a much safer place, taken you into her arms and told you what she knew.

She decided she needed to have a chat with the man behind it.

When Lina finally confronted her brother, ready to fight; Varis could only keep seated, relaxed. During the time she was unable to face him, he had been contemplating. He didn't want to kill his sister, but he will if she tries to trick you away from him, his parents would know and people might catch on. While he was able to outrank her in strength, she would still be able to leave evidence on him. And if she succeeded in killing him instead, she would have difficulty disposing of the body privately.

You would inevitably find out, either way. And you would come to hate them both. That's why he has another idea in mind.

"I know a way to get what we both want." His words struck Lina dumbfounded yet guarded, he took her inaction cue for him to continue.

The next time you saw either of them, they were together. It was a surprise, given that both often spent time with you separately. When they noticed you, they glued themselves to your side in a matter of seconds. Lina had wrapped her arms around one of yours with a sweet smile, and Varis blankly towered comfortably over you with a hand around your shoulders.

Lina started affectionately calling you firestorm, and when you asked why she chose to call you that, she only gave a vague answer.

“Because we’re drawn to you, silly!” …Whatever that meant.

Everything went by smoothly during the next few times you hung out with them, not a single ounce of hostility shared between either. You weren't incredibly dense enough to pick up on the fact that the twins had their disagreements, so you were simply glad they'd set aside whatever was driving a wedge between them.

In turn, they were spoiling you little by little. Lina's always inviting you to try new things together, while Varis always somehow keeps himself physically close and acts as a source of comfort. You'd receive gifts of things you needed or were running out of, and it essentially came to the point where the three of you were always together even on campus.

It was only a matter of time before they would decide it was time to whisk you away.

And they'd make sure you would have no reason to refuse.

After all, wouldn’t it all be easier that way?
