I'm woken up by movement. The bed sheet is still down, so I can't see past my cage, but the bed above me shifts. One of the twins groans, and the bed shifts again with more weight.
"We woke her up," one notes.
"She's fine," the other mutters. "Anything happen today?"
"Mira and Tain are fighting again."
"Oh, about what?"
"Oh you know, the usual. Tain sleeps with someone else, Mira throws a fit, Tain points out she's barren, rinse and repeat."
The other chuckles. "And then she insists he's the one that's barren and starts trying to seduce us."
There's a noticeable shiver through the bed.
"Father expressed interest in our new pet, but I told him no one sees her until we have her trained and that we will both do so tomorrow. He was annoyed you spent so much on her."
"I couldn't let her go to auction," the other grumbles.
"I know, but we can't exactly explain that without giving away why."
"As long as you understand."
There's a soft sound of kissing and then, "Not that I'm complaining, but why did you go to the slave auction?"
"I got bored."
"Wow. Still, glad you found her before anyone else spirited her away."
More kissing, along with small jerking motions of the bed.
"Father's going to want one of us to breed her," one says breathlessly.
"We share everything," the other growls.
"I know that, but what argument should we use against Father?"
They both pant for a minute. "He'll say that the if one of us breeds her, the other can challenge him."
Another growl. "I know. This is why we decided not to get a pet. He'll get even more divisive."
"But we can deal. We always deal."
"I know. And Sunshine is worth it. I assume you figured out why I snatched her up?"
"Of course."
More kissing, and the conversation above devolves into grunts and moans. What are they doing? They both start breathing hard, panting like they're running, and then they let out a synchronized groan.
"Oh my god, Dirg," one groans.
"That's your name," the other jokes, just as breathlessly.
"It's your turn to clean up."
"Ahhh, dammit."
The weight shifts, and after a minute one leaves the room.
"One day it'll be your job to clean our cream up, kitty."
His tone is suggestive. I curl up on my pillow. The other comes back, and the bed practically rocks as he plops down on it.
"One day it'll be your job to clean up our cream, Sunshine," he repeats his brother.
The other chuckles. "I already said that. I called her kitty, though."
"Ah."
There's some more moving, and then they go still.
"Goodday Sunshine," they say, their voices overlapping.
I wouldn't respond even if I could. Slowly, their breathing deepens. The part of the cage between me and their mattress is made of criss-crossed bars. I can't reach through and jostle them or anything. And I don't think I could get enough momentum in this small space to move it all as well as they did.
They weren't having sex. There was no rhythmic thumping or slapping of flesh. But they both came. They were kissing, too. Maybe they jerked off together? But they're brothers... they did kiss over my shoulder. Whatever they are, they aren't ordinary. They share everything, after all.
Most of the identical twins I knew did their best to look as distinct as possible. They wanted to be their own people, not another copy of the same. But these two almost seem to want to be two versions of one person. Based on the conversation they just had, they're not, and they can't read each other's minds (because with all the rest of the shit going on, that makes sense), they're just really good at mimicking each other.
Even the scratch I put on one's chest was perfectly mirrored in the other, to the exact angle and length. It's kinda scary, when you think about it. They didn't want a "pet" because their father would use it to divide them, but as soon as one saw me he bought me, and the other was completely fine with it.
What's so special about me, then? If I could tear them apart, then why risk it? Who is their father, and why are they "highnesses?" Am I even on Earth anymore, or did I trip into some sort of rabbit hole? I do think by now I shouldn't be high, at least. Highs don't last this long.
Whatever was going on above me, it was incest. Whether they're just watching each other jerk off or participating, that was incest. A part of me is appalled and disgusted. Another part of me wonders, if they're trying to be the same person, then isn't it masturbation? The last part of me I bury under the other two. No, I do not want to watch.
-------------
I'm awoken by the bed above me moving again. My body aches from shoulder to hip at the position I laid in, so I stretch out, only for my bladder and stomach to complain nearly simultaneously. Too much pee, too little food. Who even knows when the last time I ate was? Or had a good drink of water?
"Mmmm, good night, brother," one greets the other in a tone that sounds more like "good morning."
"Good night," the other sighs back. "I don't want to get up yet."
"We have a pet to take care of," the first states.
"Right."
There's a brief sound of kissing and then the bed moves. I stiffen as the bedsheet is lifted by a hand, and the door is opened by another.
"C'mon Sunshine."
I curl up around my pillow and glare at the door until one of them sticks their head of messed-up silver hair down to get a look at me.
"You have to come out sometime."
"And your stomach growling woke me up."
"So you need to come out anyway."
They're right. And there's no way to get out unless they let me. That much I understand, so I leave the pillow behind and slowly crawl out. When I get within range, the one with his head down here grabs the loop on the collar and pulls me out faster. The other yawns, and soon we're settled into pretty much the same place as last night with them side by side and me kneeling, facing them.
I glare at my hands on my knees, and the one still holding my collar uses it to force my chin up, so I glare at their knees instead. The other puts his hand possessively on my head.
"Your rules are simple," one starts.
"You will obey us," the other picks up.
"You will respect us."
