It wasn't quite as simple as Justin had thought it would be. The apartment people readily accepted that Alex was Justin's wife, but with her being seventeen, they wouldn't accept her signature on the paperwork. So Alex wound up carrying the papers back to Justin, getting him to sign them (it was a good thing he was left-handed, or that would have been another set of problems), then carrying them back.
And since she was Alex, she complained about it the whole time. "I can't believe this. I'm a married woman - that makes me a legal adult. They should be willing to take my signature, but no, they want to treat me like I'm still a kid, just because…."
"Alex," Harper said carefully, "You aren't legally married -"
"Don't care. They don't know that. They're just…."
After about an hour of that, Harper refused to be in the same room with Alex until she calmed down about it. Justin, on the other hand, smiled through the whole thing, just letting Alex's tirade flow over and around him, still basking in the warm glow of having her officially be his - at least as far as the five of them were concerned.
The fifth, of course, was Lexie, who was unhappy at having been left out of the wedding, until Alex offered to do it again for her. As it turned out, they didn't do that, which was a great relief to Harper.
The phone company and cable company were more reasonable, and were happy to take Alex's signature. The bank needed Justin's signature to add Alex onto his checking account. Alex expected an argument over that, but it didn't happen, and she wasn't sure whether to credit the continued afterglow of the wedding... or lingering effects of the head injury. Harper was inclined to the latter belief, while Lexie shrugged and tossed it off with, "He knows we can forge his signature anyway, if we really need to. So it doesn't make any sense for him not to add us to it."
At that, Alex gave Lexie a stern look that surprised everyone. "He added me to it. Not you. We may have the exact same signature, but this is not Big Love. Get your own guy."
"Yeah, like I'd want yours," Lexie answered with a roll of her eyes.
"Who do you like, then?" Harper asked her, and surprisingly, Lexie clammed up, which led to a good ten minutes of speculation back and forth between Alex and Harper, growing increasingly gleeful until Justin finally asked them to knock it off so he could get back to sleep.
Alex spent two nights sleeping in the chair in Justin's hospital room - then he wound up with a roommate, but by that point, Alex was feeling okay enough to go back to the dorm - and besides, the chair wasn't the most comfortable thing in the world. It was another three days before they finally released Justin, cleared on his head injury. His arm was going to be in the sling for another three weeks or so, but he could finally leave.
The fly in that ointment was that Mom and Dad insisted that he go ahead and come home for Christmas, where the family could help take care of him, and he couldn't exactly protest that he'd be better off alone in his dorm. And there was no need for him to be there that he could use to help - thanks to his hospital stay, he'd earned an "incomplete" in all of his classes for the semester, and would earn his grades when he was able to finish his missing assignments and take the finals. To say that Alex was extremely unhappy about being stuck in the dorm by herself was an understatement, at best.
Zeke came home, and he and Harper came around to visit. Justin and he did some catching up, but Zeke and Harper were being pretty much inseparable, which led Justin to worry that Harper would let Zeke on the secret. She didn't, though, or if she did, Zeke didn't talk to either of them about it.
Miranda came by to visit as well, which caused Theresa to ask Justin if they were back together. He denied that, even though Alex actually encouraged him to say they were as cover. Justin flatly refused, which Miranda thought was sweet. Alex secretly did too, even though she protested that Justin was passing up a perfect cover.
Mom and Dad were a bit surprised that Justin was moving out of the dorm and into an apartment, but his explanation that the dorm was noisy and there were often parties there, and he was tired of having to go to the library to study, mollified them quite well. Of course, then they insisted on helping Justin move in, and Alex and Miranda had to quickly move everything of Alex's from Justin's dorm room to Miranda's, so the family wouldn't be wondering why Justin had half his closet full of girls' clothes.
Alex went ahead and moved into the apartment, while Justin was still stuck with Mom & Dad until after Christmas - the 28th was when his sling was scheduled to come off.
On Christmas Eve, Justin was still awake in his room when Alex teleported in. He smiled and laid his book aside, started to stand up, but Alex immediately sat down into his lap, wrapped her arms around him, and kissed him. He returned the kiss eagerly, putting his left arm around her, his fingers up in her hair, grabbing on.
"I missed you all day today," Justin said, looking into his little sister's eyes. "Oh, and Lexie's mad - she came in last night to say good night, and I thought she was you, and she wound up slapping me."
Alex tilted her head and grinned. "What did you do to get the slap?"
"Oh... this," Justin said, and Alex smiled as he slid his hand up under her top. "Although she was wearing a bra, so I didn't actually get to there."
"Well, that's good, or she'd probably have been even more upset with you." Alex grinned, said, "Remember last year, when we came back from Grandma Magdelena's? We could do that again..."
"What?" Justin frowned at Alex, said, "In the living room? Why would we -"
"No, in here!" Alex smacked Justin lightly on the knee, then straightened up. "Oh, but first - it's midnight, so I'm going to give you your Christmas present!" She pulled out her wand, waved it, and a red bag with a smiling Santa on the side appeared on the bed next to her. Alex reached inside, pulled out a box wrapped in red paper with snowmen on it, tied with a blue ribbon. "Here," she said, then kissed Justin on the cheek. "Merry Christmas."
He took hold of the edge of the wrapping with one hand, while Alex kept holding onto the box, since he only had the one hand to work with. Justin ripped the wrapping, then blinked at the box. "You got me an action figure?"
"Nooo..." Alex rolled her eyes. "You're too old to play with dolls. I got you a limited edition statuette. It's art, not a toy."
"So... if it has no moving parts, it's art?" Justin asked with a grin.
"If you're going to analyze it to death, I'm going to take it back." Alex grabbed the box and pulled on it lightly, sticking her tongue out at Justin as she did.
He pulled it away from her, set to to the side, then leaned in and kissed her. "I love it. Thank you."
"Don't thank me yet. That's not everything." Alex reached into the bag again as Justin's eyebrows went up.
"More than one present? I don't think you've ever gotten anyone more than one present before."
"Yeah, well, don't get used to it. Here." She pulled out a piece of paper, handed it to Justin, who scanned it quickly.
"This is the GED pre-test from the book... wait. You finished it? And... you got... thirty-one fifteen? Alex!" Justin beamed at his sister, hugged her hard. "This is a passing score!"
Alex tried to act like it was nothing, but Justin's glee was infectious, and she grinned as well. "Yeah, I know! I'm going to take the test when they give it again. And then put in my applications for art school."
Justin kissed her on the cheek by the corner of her eye, then again by the corner of her mouth, then on the mouth, grinning the whole time. "That's great! I knew you could do it!"
They held onto each other for a few moments, looking at each other nose-to-nose, Alex's chocolate-brown eyes locked on Justin's grey-green. "I got you something too," Justin said then, and Alex smiled wider. "It's under the bed. I kind of had to hide it."
"Yeah? Did you get us something naughty?" Alex smirked as she slide off the bed, then crouched down and looked under it. It was, of course, perfectly clean under Justin's bed, except for one small box. She pulled that out, came back up, started to unwrap it as Justin watched, smiling.
Inside the wrapping was a plain white paperboard box. Alex opened it quickly, found white tissue paper inside, opened that... and stared at the two plain gold rings, and the matching, smaller ring with an emerald mounted on it.
"I'm sorry they had to be your Christmas present as well -" Justin started apologetically, but before he could finish, Alex turned and hugged him hard.
"Shut up. Don't be sorry. I love it. I love you." Alex sat back a little, straddling Justin's legs. "Okay, so... put them on me."
"All right." Justin took the ring with the stone, carefully slid it onto Alex's left-hand ring finger, then moved to pick up the smaller of the plain rings, when Alex interrupted him with a quick kiss. He grinned at that, put the other ring onto her, got kissed again, with Alex pulling back out of it almost immediately and grabbing the other ring. She slipped it onto his finger and kissed him again at the same time, holding the kiss until the ring was fully on.
"Okay, so..." she said then, "please tell me you're finally okay enough for sex. Because after two and a half weeks, I'm going a little crazy here."
Justin answered her by grinning, then slowly rocking his hips against her and saying, "Merry Christmas."
"Oh..." Alex looked up and to her right and smiled as she moved her hips in return. "Is that a yule log in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?"
"I'm always happy to see you," Justin answered, but right now, I'd be more happy to feel you." His hand slipped inside her top again, glided against Alex's smooth skin, but he wasn't able to get as far up as he wanted, with the angle and the tightness of her top. Smiling, Alex peeled her top off, then tossed it on the floor.
"There you go... feel all you want. Actually..." Alex rose up and leaned forward, bringing her left breast to Justin's mouth, made a silent 'oh' as he took her nipple and sucked it in slightly, moved his tongue against it as he sucked. A shiver ran through Alex, and she put her hands on Justin's headboard, held onto it as he continued to suckle on her, reaching his hand down inside her pajama bottoms. He didn't put it into her panties yet, but stroked her through the thin, soft cotton, pressing the length of a finger against her folds as he did.
She moaned at that, twisted her torso to offer him her other breast as he let go of the one. Justin took it and suckled that nipple as he had the other, still stroking her below. Alex moved her hips against her brother's hand, pressing herself into it, and reached her own hand down, found the drawstring of Justin's pajama bottoms and pulled on the end of it, untying the bow. She grinned as she did that, said, "You didn't have to gift wrap it for me."
"I know you love opening your presents," Justin responded, his eyes sparkling just a little. "I thought you'd feel it to see what it was first, though."
"Oh, I knew I was getting this present. I just didn't know when. That doesn't make it any less appreciated though." Alex moved off of Justin for a moment, said, "Slide down. You're still in the sling, so I'm doing the work tonight."
Justin raised an eyebrow, but obeyed. "I thought you liked me on top?"
"Oh, I do… but we can switch it around for tonight." His pants and underwear pulled down out of the way, Alex pulled her own off, left them on the floor. She started to straddle him, then stopped, looked at the door, hopped down and crossed over to lock it before coming back. "There we go. Now we won't get interrupted," she said as she positioned herself over him.
She stopped then and leaned down across Justin, holding her weight up on her right arm so she didn't press on him too much. "I'm ready for my present, big brother," she breathed, giving him a sultry look. "Can I have it now?"
"Oh…." Justin breathed out, rocking his hips a little as Alex reached between her legs and grasped him, placed him at her entrance. "Please take it. I insist."
"You say the sweetest things." Alex lifted herself back up to the vertical, then slowly eased herself down on him, biting her lip as she did, then gasping. "You feel really big this way. Wow."
After a moment, she began to move, slowly, rocking back and forth as well as up and down, closing her eyes to better feel the sensations of it. Justin smiled, watching her through half-lidded eyes, his good hand against her breast, both feeling it and helping her to move. He shifted the angle of his hips a little, and they both drew in a breath as that pushed him deeper inside her.
Alex kept up the slow pace, worried that after this long, Justin might not last very long if she moved faster, and Justin let her. If she wants to be in control for a change… hell, why not? We've got plenty of time for me to do things to her, once we're in the apartment….
As much as he wanted to let Alex do the work, however, Justin's body didn't want to cooperate, and he found himself moving his hips, rocking in counterpoint to his sister's movement, making the motion both faster and deeper.
"N-no fair," Alex said after a moment, opening her eyes and smiling down at him. "I'm supposed to be doing the -" Her voice caught as Justin grinned and thrust up into her suddenly, "Oh! - work."
"I can't help it… you're just too sexy for me to lay here and not do anything," he replied, then tried to sit up to kiss her.
"No," Alex said, pushing him back down. "Let me," she breathed, then lay down onto him the best she could with the sling there, brought her mouth to his, then giggled as she pushed her tongue into his mouth for a change.
Justin caught her by the back of her head and held her there, pushed her tongue back with his, back into the warm, moist darkness of her mouth, pulled his legs up as well to angle his hips more steeply, push himself into his little sister's other warm, wet cavity. He moved in both, fought her small struggles, smiled into the sounds she made into his mouth as he pumped his hips hard and fast. Justin moaned as well as he felt himself bottom out in Alex, pushed even harder, grinning as she squirmed against him.
He let go, and Alex pulled back immediately, glared down at her brother for a second. "I'm supposed to be doing the work, Justin. You're supposed to be relaxing and enjoying it."
"I thought that was pretty relaxing," Justin said, grinning up at her, "and I definitely enjoyed it." He moved his hips again, pushing up into Alex with a hard, fast rhythm, forcing a moan from her. "I think you enjoyed it too."
"Yeah?" Alex said, then smirked at Justin. "Let's see how you like this." She sat back up on him, then began to move up and down quickly, lifting herself up with her thighs, then letting herself drop back down onto him, repeating quickly. "Think you're the only one who can fuck hard?" She broke into a sing-song, "Well you're no-ot," grinning as she did.
"Mmm… you feel that?" She kept looking down at him, eyes locked with his, then took his hand in hers, pulled it up onto her breast. "I see you do. Are you enjoying it, Justin? Are you going to come for me?" She licked her lips, opened her eyes wider. "I want to feel it. Mmm… you haven't come for what? Three weeks now? I'll bet you've got a load that'll just flood me."
She kept rocking hard on him, lowered her mouth to his ear, licked it. "Fill me up, big brother. Show your little sister how much you love fucking her. You know you want to. Mmm… do you like it when I talk dirty like this, Justin?"
His hand tightened, squeezing Alex's breast, feeling her nipple against his palm, and Justin moaned out, "Yes…." as he tried to take control again, moving his hips. Alex was ready for it, though, and she changed her rhythm, matched to his, moving with him, so his efforts gained him nothing.
"No, Justin. I'm riding you tonight. Now hold still." He swallowed, closed his eyes, managed to stop himself after a few seconds. "Good," Alex said, then started to move again, slowly at first, then pounding herself onto him again after a few moments. She couldn't keep that up for long, though, and after half a minute or so, she slowed down, returning to the back-and-forth motion. Justin began to move with her again, then, and she let him this time, bent down to kiss him again, but only for a moment.
Coming back up, Alex arched backward, put her hands behind her on the bed for support, began to move up and down on Justin quickly. This angle felt different for both of them, and Alex bit her lip and changed her pace, moving faster, but not quite as far.
Justin let out an "Oh… oh fuck, Alex…."
She giggled at that, said, "Yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing. Do you like it?"
Moving his hand to Alex's waist, Justin traced the curve of it, felt her hip for a moment, then slid it between her legs, letting his fingers rub her as she moved. "I do," he said. "And I think you like it too."
Alex let out a moan, and Justin grinned. "Yeah… you definitely like that," he said, continuing to rub her as he thrust upward with his hips, matching her rhythm so his hips smacked against her each time they met. His eyes closed and he drew back his lips in a grimace, let out a quick, breathy, "Alex… oh, Alex," and she grinned as she felt his release, heard the soft sounds their motion made as her brother's seed filled her.
She kept moving, and Justin began to rub her in circles now, with more pressure and speed, and soon Alex shivered all over as she came as well, then half-collapsed forward, laying half on Justin and half on the bed as she avoided the sling. They lay like that, heads turned to look in each other's eyes, Justin still inside Alex, for nearly a minute, giving each other small, soft kisses as they did.
It was Justin who finally pulled back a little, looked at his sister with adoring eyes as he stroked her hair, smiling contentedly. "So… is your honeymoon night being everything you dreamed of?"
"No," Alex said, smiling as she shook her head slowly. "It's nothing like I ever imagined. It's better." She paused a moment, still smiling, then brought her hand up, touched her brother's cheek with her fingertips, just holding them there. "You know… I never imagined us like this. But somehow… I think I always knew it was you I wanted. Does that make any sense?"
Justin shook his head. "No. But I feel the same way, so…." He stopped, shrugged, moved his head forward to kiss Alex. "It's not normal. But we were never going to be normal people. And I won't give you up for anything, Alex."
She snuggled in against him, then closed her eyes. "Promise?"
"I promise." Justin kissed her again, on the forehead, then closed his eyes as well.
