Abstinence Education
by Madame Manga
Part Ten
With chilled and clumsy fingers, Rin husked the corn and prepared a dinner for which she had little appetite. Manji came out of the hut when she called and brought a pitcher with him, which he filled from the cask. He put a cup on the porch between them and she poured for politeness’ sake, her heart low. She sat beside the fire with him until after dark, watching him pound down the whole pitcherful cup by cup and fill it again, silent and relentless as had become his habit. Conversation was sparse and concerned only with the business of the meal.
Hardly knowing what to make of this, she went into the hut early, got ready for bed and sat up waiting for him to come in. The night grew cold and still he didn’t appear. The lantern burned steadily, illuminating the empty pile of straw opposite her. Rin listened for footsteps and chewed her kiss-bruised lips. Finally she snuffed the light and lay down.
When Manji eventually pushed the blanket aside, he was reeling drunk and guzzling one last cupful; he dropped an object on the floor that rattled like the empty pitcher and sat down hard on his pile of straw, sloshing saké over the front of his clothes.
Should she ignore him and just go to sleep? That wasn’t possible; her body quivered with silent sobs as she huddled under her quilt.
“Awww…shit,” she heard Manji say in a thick, slurred voice. He jostled the lantern and nearly knocked it over. “Whoops.”
“M-Manji?”
“Huh? Did I wake ya up?”
“What’s wrong?” Tears ran down her face, but she kept her voice reasonably steady. “Why are you drunk again?”
He laughed sloppily in the dark. “Washin’ my cares away.” He drained the cup and threw it over his shoulder.
“Why?”
“Aw, crap. Can’t forget it anyway…” He fell back on the straw with his arms flung out and took a few deep breaths. “Rin…I shouldn’t’a done what I did today. It was crazy. I was just feelin’ too goddamn horny to live.”
“You don’t think you should be my sensei for that, you mean?”
“Come on, that was bullshit. I just wanted to fuck you…well, at least I didn’t fuck you.” He laughed again. “Maybe I’m only halfway crazy yet.”
“Why couldn’t we talk about it, then?”
“’Cause that’d sound like…crap. I’m yer bodyguard. What the hell am I doing?” He sat up with a rustle of straw. “I got smashed so I wouldn’t do it again. Because usually a man can’t get it up if he’s drunk enough. I dunno if that works any more. Maybe it’s the freakin’ worms drinking the stuff for me…”
“Oh.”
“You got the wrong idea, anyway. Girls always do—it’s never just screwing. Gotta be a freakin’ love affair. Poetry and shit, and lots of crying. Makes me wanna hurl.” He belched; Rin detected an aroma of stale saké. “That’s why we ain’t doing it again.”
“But I understand that. I want to learn—I… I won’t get the wrong idea.”
“Whatcha cryin’ for, then?”
“Because I thought you were angry with me.”
“With you? Awww, I’m the one who needs a good ass-kicking. Ain’t blaming you.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, really.” He made a wide gesture. “C’mon over here.”
She shuffled over on her knees and put her arms around him. Manji embraced her and patted the top of her head. “See? I’m not mad.” She shivered, partly from emotion and partly because the night air struck through her thin yukata. “Hey, you cold?”
“A…a little.” He smelled slightly peculiar; the odor of liquor was powerful and familiar, but she detected a faint undertone of something else that she couldn’t quite place.
“Here, climb in and get warm.” Manji held up a corner of his quilt. “No reason to waste it, huh? I’ll light the lantern—that’ll warm the place up again.” Rin submitted to being tucked into Manji’s bed, and lay down with her mind slightly more at peace. He stumbled outside to fetch a coal and rekindled the wick with exaggerated care. “No use starting a fire in here, hey? We’d have to sleep in the woods, and it’s getting chilly out.” Without undressing, he slid under the quilt with her.
Rin startled, but there was plenty of room for both of them and he had left a judicious space between their bodies. Then Manji shifted; his arm ventured over her and drew her closer.
“Any warmer now?”
“Uh…yeah.” She stared at the opposite wall, her heart racing.
“So’m I.” He nuzzled her hair and scooted his hips closer to hers. “Heh…”
“M-Manji…what’s that smell on you? It’s like incense or…” Rin stopped short. It was a woman’s gardenia-scented hair oil. “Oh, my God.”
“Huh? Aw…crap.”
She twisted around and glared at Manji; he looked shamefaced, but seemed to be searching for words. “How could you?” She struggled out of his arms and rolled from under the quilt. “How disgusting could you be? After everything we did—and you used MY money!”
“I thought maybe I could get it outta my system.” He sighed and raised the quilt again in invitation. “Look, it was only one little whore, OK? I took a bath and everything. Come back to bed.”
“I don’t even want to touch you! You stink!”
“Aw, the smell’s gotta be in my clothes.” Manji sat up and stripped to his fundoshi, his fingers fumbling with the knots, and threw everything aside. “There, I don’t stink now.” He lay down and beckoned to her. “Come on, little sister. I just wanna keep ya warm.”
“Did you kiss her on her bobo too?” Rin folded her arms and stuck out her lower lip.
“Nope. You gotta pay extra for that kinda stuff.”
“Oh.”
“I’m sorry. I apoler—apol—sorry. Won’t do it again. I promise.” Manji beckoned to her again. “C’mon, please.”
Rin hesitated, but she was already shivering again, and Manji looked both contrite and unusually affectionate as well as unreservedly drunk. So she slipped back under the quilt and let him pull it around her. Again he embraced her after a moment and put his nose to the junction of her neck and shoulder.
“Mmm…” He inhaled. “Sure is nice havin’ a woman to hold in bed…even if she is my little sister.”
An odd twinge went through her; that was said almost as an endearment. “Well, I guess I don’t mind being held by my…big brother.”
He let out a low, purring growl and gave a lick to the skin he was sniffing. “You got it.”
“Manji, you’re really drunk.”
“You betcha.”
“Is that why you’re talking to me this way and being nice? Just because of the saké?”
He said nothing, but sniffed her again.
“Because if it’s only because you’re drunk…then I don’t want you to talk that way.” Rin crossed her arms over her breasts and moved her face away from Manji’s. “I wish you’d been willing to pay some attention to me when you could still think straight. Because I don’t know what to think right now. Or what you think.”
“What I think?”
“Am I just a kid you need to take care of so you can feel like you’re doing something decent? Or do you really want me to be around you? I don’t mean in a brotherly sort of way…though I guess you do have those sorts of feelings too and it’s not impossible it could be both kinds together, especially since I’m not really your sister. And if you do like me as a woman…which, um, I guess probably has to be true because of everything we did today, not to mention various stuff before that, is it because you like me, or only because I’m a woman and you like women?”
“…Yeah, I like women.” He sounded vague and puzzled, obviously having lost track of the question. “Whatcha makin’ it so complicated for?”
Rin sighed; she hadn’t expected much from him in this state, if he even knew the answer. Probably by morning he would have forgotten this whole conversation. “Oh, Manji…”
“Aw, don’t feel bad.” He wrapped his arms around her and rocked her back and forth. “Shh, settle down. Go to sleep. No more cryin’.”
The blurry tenderness in his voice brought tears to her eyes. Rin swallowed against a lump in her throat and tried to suppress a sob.
“Hey, little sister, yer big brother’s here. Can he do anything to make ya feel better?” He stroked the hair from her face and kissed her temple. He had had a shave as well as a bath, she noted, and his jaw felt uncharacteristically smooth.
“Manji…do you think I’m pretty?”
Manji chortled. “What do you think?”
“You didn’t used to think so.”
“That was months ago.” He tucked her bottom more deeply into the niche of his hips. “Now you’re kinda…different.”
“Really?” She whispered it, rolling her pelvis against his to detect the inexorable swell of his henoko. It felt so warm, even through her clothing…
“Sure. You grew up some, I guess…and you’ve been through a lot. Kind of gives you more of a woman’s air.” His voice was going husky. “Damn…you’re turning me on.”
“Sorry.”
“Naw, don’t be.” Manji rolled her towards him and placed her on her back. “Want to do something? Might help you sleep…” His head descended. Lips caressing the pit of her throat, hand moving up her thigh: Rin felt another twinge, far stronger.
“Manji…?” This seemed somehow different from their unsettling encounter in the woods. His body was relaxed, his expression warm and sensual. Maybe it was the saké…but she hadn’t drunk a thing herself, and warmth surged through her as well.
Did it matter if a dream lasted only a little while?
“…Why do you want me, big brother?”
He got up on his elbows and grinned down at her. “Well, I could tell ya a simple reason.”
“A simple reason?” Rin glimpsed Manji’s bare chest and torso, felt his warm vital skin on hers. He began to kiss her neck again. Her chin slowly fell back, her eyelids became heavy.
“’Cause your pretty cunt feels so soft and slick…and tastes so good. I could lick you all night long, little sister.”
Hot little shivers went through her at his words. He did mean something different from what they had already done: in a way more intimate. What exactly he intended still eluded her, but this warm bed had a far sweeter fragrance than a pile of pine needles. Manji rubbed his cheek against hers and kissed her on the lips; she responded with passion, though he tasted strongly of alcohol. She felt open, welcoming, melting.
Let him, her body urged. Anything he asks for…and he’ll like it so much better than with that other girl, won’t he? He won’t need a substitute, because he’ll be having exactly what he wanted all along…
Manji’s hand slid through the overlap of her yukata and cupped one small breast. “We kinda skipped the preliminaries this afternoon. Let me show you how I’d start out, if I was doing it properly.”
“Yes, big brother.” She clasped her hands around his neck and arched her body for him. “Show your little sister…”
