This is a work of fiction and all characters - both of them :) - are of legal age. Originally I hadn't intended for this story to be about a brother and sister, but story-wise it was just better that way than when it had been two close friends.
I would like to thank Bert_Fegg for his editing and helpful suggestions to make this story even better than it was before.

"Are you okay?"
Brad looked up at his sister briefly. "Yeah." He let out a brief sigh. "No. I don't know." He felt Brianna plop down next to him on the couch, her arm immediately coming to rest behind his neck, her hand on the other shoulder, pulling him just a bit closer to her.
"What's going on," she asked.
Brad simply shrugged, not feeling very comfortable about talking about the hell that was his life, especially to his sister. "Just... stuff." At her slightly raised eyebrows he added, "At school."
"What stuff?" she asked, not letting him evade the subject. When he remained silent, she tightened her arm around him briefly. "Hey, I'm your big sister. You can talk to me about anything, you know that."
She was right, of course. Despite the eight year age difference, Brianna and he had always been close, could always talk about anything. That had only changed when she'd gone off to college, the distance only growing when his parents decided to move from the east coast to the west coast. He'd only seen her during the holidays, and while that had always been great, it just wasn't the same.
After college she had moved in with her then boyfriend, deciding to stay back east. Then suddenly two months ago, his sister had announced she was coming to the west coast. Without her boyfriend. Brad still wasn't sure why they had broken up, but he was going to figure it out soon. The point was, her moving here and, at least temporarily, living in the same house again, had seen their closeness return almost immediately.
"I bet you're looking forward to prom night," Brianna said, probably in an attempt to get his mind off of his problems, but unknowingly hitting on what was bothering him the most right now.
Brad sighed. "Not really." He didn't even have to look at her to know she was now frowning. "Jen... She broke up with me." Though he wondered if you could even call it breaking up when one party had never considered it to be a relationship in the first place.
"Oh, Brad," Brianna said, once again pulling him close. "Well, it's her loss for letting go of the best guy she could ever hope to be with."
He turned his head and glared at her, immediately feeling bad for it, since she wasn't aware of the circumstances. "I was just a bet," he ground out, the revelation still raw. "Her friends bet her she couldn't stand to date me for three months." He shook his head and stared ahead of him. "I should've known. Why would a hot girl, any girl really, want to be with a dorky nerd like me? She just laughed in my face, Bri. I asked her why she couldn't at least have waited until after prom, and she just laughed. I mean, God, my first girlfriend wasn't even my girlfriend. How pathetic is that? I'm the biggest loser on the planet!" He turned to look at Brianna and noticed anger, something he had expected. He was taken aback by the intensity of her rage.
"I wanna go over and rip that bitch a new one," she said, anger evident in her voice. She remained on the couch, her arm still around him. "But, Brad, sweetie," she said gently. "You're not a loser. What she did is fucked up, but you can't blame yourself for that. And you're not a dorky nerd, either."
"I'm sure everyone at school knows about this by now," Brad said. "Do you really think they're not thinking I'm a loser? I'm sure she's told her friends and God knows who else everything I told her..." He suddenly blanched. "Oh, God, I told her I'm still a virgin!"
"Sweetie, that's nothing bad," Brianna told him gently. "It's pretty cool to save yourself for someone special."
Brad glared at her again. "Nothing bad? I'm eighteen and still a virgin! And I wasn't saving myself! I just can't get a girl to be with. And even Jen managed to hold off on the sex for those three months, though I now understand why. God, I can never show my face again around school! And I sure as hell am not going to the prom."
Brianna looked at him, remaining silent for a while as if she was trying to figure out how she could fix his problem. Then an odd grin appeared on her face. "Maybe you should go to your prom. Show off with a really hot girl, one who's willing to show copious amounts of PDA."
Brad snorted. "Yeah, like I can find a girl like that. And within a week, no less."
"I'm available," Brianna said.
**********
Brianna kept her gaze firmly on her baby brother, trying to show him she was very serious with her offer.
"Yeah, ha ha, good one," Brad said, clearly not believing her.
"No, I'm serious. You could take me to the prom."
He looked at her for a little while. "Are you crazy? You're my sister!"
Brianna nodded, her gaze never leaving his. "Yeah, but the only friends I made around here are in a serious relationship, or I would've asked one of them. And nobody you know has ever seen me, not even... that bitch," Brianna finished her sentence, her anger toward the girl rising, but she pushed it down. "So, really, nobody would know me, or that I'm really your sister." She smiled as he gazed at her, as if trying to determine if she really meant it.
"Wouldn't that be a little weird," he asked. "For me to show up with someone new, barely a week after I was dumped?"
Brianna shrugged. "Not necessarily." She counted it a small victory he wasn't thinking that taking
her
to the prom was the weird part. To her, it wasn't. He was her baby brother and she'd do anything to help him.
"But, do you even have a dress?"
Brianna smiled and nodded. "Yep, still have my prom dress. It probably still fits." She frowned slightly. She hadn't gained anything around the waist, but her bra size had definitely gone up. She tried to remember if the dress had been snug on top during her prom, but she couldn't quite remember. "Wait, I'll go try it on. You just stay here, okay?" At his nod, she stood up and walked toward her bedroom. It didn't take her long to find the dress, but looking at it critically and looking down, she was doubting if her boobs would fit in there.
She shrugged to herself, and began to undress. She admired herself in the mirror, clad in only her thong, before she picked up the dress and looked at it once more. It looked like it hadn't been too snug back then, but she wasn't quite sure if her boobs, after the growth spurt she had around the time she turned twenty, were going to fit. It was definitely going to be tight, but all the guys at the prom would be insanely jealous of him if she managed it.
Brianna remembered that she couldn't put on the dress by herself properly, that she needed someone to close it at the back. When she had been getting ready for her own prom, her mom and one of her girlfriends had helped her, but neither were here.
She shrugged to herself once more, put the dress against her front and walked back toward the living room, deciding her brother could help her with that. "You'll have to close it up for me, Brad," she said, making her way toward the couch, turning around so he could help her. "The bottom part is just a zipper."
It took almost a minute before Brad started to fumble with the zipper, and Brianna suddenly knew why: she was wearing just a thong and the dress, the latter currently only covering her front. Well, it couldn't be helped. Besides, he was her brother; this shouldn't be such a big deal.
It took him a few tries, his fingers once slipping off of the zipper to lightly smack against her ass, but he managed to zip up the bottom part without difficulty. She turned slightly toward him, smiling. "See, still fits. Well, the bottom part at least. These," she lightly shook her boobs as she clutched the dress against them, "are a bit bigger than they were when I went to my prom."
She faced away from him again trying to hide the light frown when she realized what she had just done. Why the hell had she emphasized her bigger boobs by bouncing them? "There are four straps, two on each side, that need to go straight across my back toward the other side, where you can hook them. Just like a bra."
**********
Brad's mouth was open slightly, his sister acting like it was the most normal thing for a brother to help his semi nude sister into a very sexy dress. At first when she had stood before him, he hadn't known what to do or how to react. Her entire back was bare to him, except for the thong she'd been wearing. Deciding that getting his sister decent was probably the best way to deal with the uncomfortable sight before him, he had fumbled with the zipper. He'd blushed profusely when his fingers had slipped off of the zipper when the item had suddenly stopped moving, causing the back of his hand to hit her on the ass.
But as she had turned a little and informed him her chest was bigger than it was some eight years ago, especially as she had shaken them up and down a bit, that had really gotten him speechless. And now he also became quite a bit nervous, knowing he'd have to hook four straps 'just like a bra.' He'd never had even touched a bra, didn't quite know how to do what she asked. "Uhm, I've never, uhm."
"Don't worry, it's easy. Just two hooks that'll interlock."
Brad shook his head at the casual way she explained it to him. His eyes took in the smooth, silky skin of her back. And no tan lines anywhere, he noticed. He shook himself, suddenly realizing she was his sister. He looked for the straps she had mentioned, saw only one and his hand moved forward to grab it. Then he hesitated. Except for the straps, the dress would leave her back completely bare. More importantly, the sides of the dress where the straps were located, were not very close to her back. Not at all. He could tell that once the dress was completely on, the side of the dress would be almost at the front of her, exposing not just her back but her sides as well.
"Come on, Brad. I don't wanna stay like this forever."
