Hug it out

> “Would you get off my ass!”
> “Then stop talking back to me!”
> Lemy and Lyra had been like this all day. No one really knew how it started, it rarely ever mattered, but his particular spat had been going on for hours.
> Almost everyone tried to defuse it, but it'd just pick back up 5 minutes later.
> If their dad was here, it'd be dead the first time around. But he was stuck in the highway with a blown tire. So he wasn't getting home anytime soon.
> “Can we get Lulu to eat them?” Lupa asked Lacy who was trying to listen to the Tv to avoid the fight.
> “No, dad would be mad. Besides then they’d just argue until she digested them.” Liby countered rubbing her temples "Anyone left break em' up?"
> “Lizy doesn't like yelling, Leia gave up, Liena went out shopping, I don't give a shit anymore and Lacy’s playing the denial game.”
> “There’s no problem If I don't acknowledge it.” She said trying to listen to the tv and not the bicker.
> “That a girl, ignore your problems, that'll fix em'.” It was hard to tell if Lupa was being genuine or not.
> “Just piss off already!”
> “How dare you talk to me like!.”
> “Sorry, let me get a ladder so I can talk down to you.”
> “It would be more effort then you put to actually listening.”
> “Why should I? You only say the same shit all the damn time!”
> “SHUT THE FUCK UP!”
> The whole room went silent until lacy spoke up.
> “Who said that? Was it a ghost?”
> “Good job guys you actually woke the dead.”
> “It was me.” They all look over to the comforter at the side of the room to see a very pissed off Loan. Now standing up and walking up to the bickering siblings.
“You two, couch! Now!”
> “Loan, stay out of thi-” Lyra was about to talk back but was picked up by her collar. Lemy laughed until she did the same with him. Dragging them over to the couch only to stop in front Lacy and Lupa.
> “Move.”
> “Moving.” Lacy practically flipped off the couch.
> “I’m gonna get a good view of this.” Lupa walked over to the other comforter and sat arm of the chair  Liby was sitting in.
> Loan tossed Lemy and Lyra on the couch and towered over them.
> “Were settling this now.”

> “What crawled up your ass.” Lemy asked a pretty genuine question. Loan was never this forward, or physical, or demanding, suffice it say this was very out of character.
> She held up a small handheld video game, showing a small hero being eaten by a monster.
> “I have been on this boss… for 6 hours, I have died, restarted and died again. And every time i’m about to win, you two start fighting over the stupidest shit.”
> “It not stupid, were settling an argument. Not that he wants to talk, just runs off from anything I have to say."
> "I'd stick around if it was worth listening to."
> "Would you-"
> "I SAID SHUT UP!" Loan growled from the pit of her stomach. But calmed down a bit. “Do you even know what you're arguing about?”
> “Well yeah its…  Wait No, that was last week… shit what were we arguing about?” Lemy scratched the back of his head.
> “Of course you'd forget, it was… Um, I think it was… Oh Christ, I don't remember?”
> “It was socks! You were arguing over the fact Lemy isn’t wearing matching socks.” They all looked at Lemy’s feet and noticed one black sock and one white sock.
> “Seriously?” Lupa commented.
> “Then it was because Lyra wants to repaint your bedroom, then it went to how Lemy never eats Brussels sprouts, who does the laundry next?, Leaving instruments on the bed, whats the weird smell is coming Lyra's bed, you fight over everything and I’m sick of it!”
> “Has anyone else noticed that Loan hasn’t stuttered once.” Liby noted.
> “I like loud Loan, she's confident but also scary.” Lacy said peaking out from behind the comforter.
> “Look Loan, I appreciate you want to help us. But we argue all the time, it's just our thing.” Lemy tried to calm her down. But she looked him dead in the eye.
> “Well it shouldn't be your thing! Your siblings! You should love and appreciate each other! Not tear at each other's throats. Like you Lemy!”
> "What about me?"
> “You don't appreciate Lyra, everything she does, she does because she cares about you! People would love to have someone as dedicated to protecting you as Lyra does. Maybe if you actually paid attention, you'd know that.
> “Aw, thank you Loan. It's nice to see someone appreciates-”
> "Oh don't even think for a damn second your off the hook!"
> "Wait what?"
> "Your just as bad. Lemy needs his space! You keep pushing stuff onto him and making a fuss over everything just because you think he doesn't know better. He's not stupid Lyra, he's a growing boy! So stop babying him and let him grow!"
> "And how the hell would you know?"
> "Because bubbling people makes them never want to come out of their room. Is that what you want Lyra? You want him to end up like me!"
> The thought sent shivers down Lyra's spine. "Good god no."

> "You might act like you hate each other, but I know you love one another, more than you even realize."
> Lyra and Lemy turned to each other for a moment. Suddenly feeling a bit of shame for arguing.
> “I know its hard. Everythings hard. But you’ve always had each other even before you knew you had more. So stop all this stupid fighting and just love each other. Better yet, just hug it out.”
> “C’mon we don't need to do that.”
> “I said!” She pushed the two toward each other. "Hug it out! Now."
> Lemy hesitantly turned toward Lyra who opened her arms with a warm smile to let him in. Slowly he scooted over to her and wrapped his arms around his sister wasted no time giving him a genuinely warm embrace as he gave a more timid one in return.
> “I love you Lemy.”
> “Yeah… I love you to Lyra.” Lemy looked to loan "So are we good here?"
> “Hmm, not yet, give her a kiss on the cheek.”
> “C’mon Loan, not in front of the others.”
> “Now!” Lemy groaned, Lyra welcomed it but was a bit embarrassed for everyone watching them. She was caught off guard as Lemy gave her a quick peck on the cheek.
> "Awww." Lacy and Liby jokingly echoed.
> "Meh, shut up."
> “See thats what I'm talking about, brother and sister, closer than ever.” Lyra agreed as she pulled Lemy in for another warm hug and Lemy returned it. “Now squeeze her tit a little.”
> They both turned to Loan bug-eyed.
> “Shit, d-id I go t-to far? Oookay yeah, I went t-tototo far.” Loan backed out this situation by slowly making for the stairs. “I’m just gonna… get back to m-my game. You g-g-g-g-guys enjoy the good vibes. Hahaha, l-later!” She quickly ran up the stairs and slammed her bedroom door behind her.
> “What just happened?” Lacy asked what everyone was thinking.
> “We thought Loan grew a backbone, but she was actually trying to save her OTP." Lupa jumped off the chair. "But there's no more yelling, so I'm cool with it. You guys wanna go get ice cream to celebrate."
> "But we didn't do anything." Liby corrected
> "Exactly, by not getting involved we solved the problem. Go team."
> "Whatever I could go for some ice cream."
> "I'm feeling like rocky road." Lacy said as she followed them out the door. "By the way Lupa, what does OTP Mean?" They exited the house, leaving the Rocker and the Good Christian girl alone on the couch.
> “So yeah, sorry about all the fighting.” Lemy tried his best to smile a little to break the tension.
> “Me too. We just let it get the better of us." She scratched the top his head of little. "Oh And lemy...”
> “Yeah sis?”
> “Could you please get your hand off my breast.” Lemy slowly pulled his hand away.
> “My bad.”
