Note to readers: This story is long at first, but I intend to shorten each chapter as I go along. The hardcore sex will come, but first the story has to be established. If you were looking for a quick fix turn away now I won't judge. As always, everyone in this story is eighteen years or older.
Thank you Todger65 for your edits.

"Come on pick up the pace!"
Startled by the voice Ben looked over his shoulder. He saw his coach shouting directions at the players on the field, but not at him. The sun was too harsh for it to be a late February day. It's that Texas weather seems to change whenever it wants. He was drenched in sweat and kept having to wipe off the sweat that dripped from his forehead. He turned back and continued to jog at a slow rate with his head down looking at the white chalk line along the side of the field.
"You are not seriously gonna start to throw up now are you?"
He turned again and saw his sister quickly gaining traction closer to him. "Jesus Mia can you just take it easy for at least one practice," he said breathing heavily.
"Why, so I can be a slacker like you?" she said jogging right next to him. She had her long light brunette hair tied back in a ponytail swinging back and forth as she ran. Sweat was running down her heart-shaped face, but she didn't seem to mind.
"No so you won't strain a hamstring or a muscle or something like that. Everyday you are like this."
She gave a light laugh and then picked up the pace of her jog. She quickly left him behind within milliseconds.
Ever since he could remember she was always the wild one of the two. Full of energy and always wanting to be active. He was nine months older than Mia whose birthday was in the beginning of January, although it did put Mia one grade behind Ben. Their Mom worried about her because of her lively personality. She would get into trouble with the other kids whether it was biting them or throwing crayons at them. She decided, when he was in 4th grade, to hold him back a year. He would never forget what his Mom said the night she told him the news.
"Benjamin you are a bright child and I love you very much and it pains me to say what I am gonna say sweetheart." He had a worried look with confused eyes looking at her brown eyes. She took a deep breath and took his hand in her own. "I decided to hold you back one year in school."
His eyes opened wide and let go of her hand. "It is not that you are not smart enough to move on to the 5th grade it's just that Mia needs you. I know you and your sister share the same love towards each other as I do to you two. I can't always be with her, but you have a duty as an older brother; to protect her; make sure she doesn't get into fights in the playground or misbehave during class. Sometimes I wonder if she knows her limits, but you do. You are a bright boy and you can keep her safe from all the bad stuff like that. She looks up to you. Do you understand what I am saying?"
He nodded his head and said, "I know Mia can get weird at times, but she behaves when I'm around," He took a deep breath. "Before dad died he told me that I was the man of the house and to look after my sister; to cheer her up when she is sad or care for her when she is crying. He told me that I would have to give up some things in my life for the good of my family and that I would understand it when it comes."
His Mom had tears rolling down her eyes and she wrapped her arms around his back and head pulling him in to her. "I love you Ben so very much," He wrapped his arms around her waist. "Promise me; Promise me you will always take care of Mia." He could hear her tears and sniffles in her voice.
"Always."
Ever since joining Mia in the same grade the two have been inseparable, and their Mom has never seen them happier. She enrolled them in soccer in the beginning of their first school year together. She thought it was a good idea since it let Mia vent out all her energy and put it to a positive use for her. They both loved to play and watch the games on TV whenever they could. Even going as far as to wake up at 3:00am in the summer of 2002 just to watch the World Cup.
"Benny?" Mia said softly through a creak when opening the door. She moved across the room towards the head of his bed. She put both of her hands on his left shoulder and arm and shook him. "Benny wake up. Come on. England are about to play Brazil. Wake up it is about to start soon." He opened his eyes and saw her gleeful smile.
"Okay be quiet we don't want to wake Mom up" he said yawning with sleepy eyes as he got to his feet. They both crept out of the room together, Ben closing the door silently behind them. They tiptoed across the hall quietly. "Ssshhh," He said holding his finger close to his mouth having to go past by their Mom's room. As soon as they entered the living room Mia added an extra hop in her step and rushed towards the TV. She turned it on and together they would sit down in front of the screen watching the match.
They really didn't favor a certain team, but they each loved watching the certain aspects of the game. Mia would love to watch how the wingers would run down the side of the field at full speed, the skillful dribbling with the ball at their feet, and all of the fast pace goals. Ben liked to watch the team tactics being played one against another and see which is stronger. He loved the technique and how smart each player was when they picked out the right pass to their teammate.
Whenever someone scored a goal Mia would shout right along with TV game announcer, "GOOOAAALLL!" not even attempting to hide her excitement enough to wake up their Mom even though Ben tried to desperately calm her down so they won't get into trouble.
Unknown to them, while they were staring intently at the TV, their Mom was close to the living room entrance, leaning against the doorway watching her children. She always knew that they would sneak out of their room in the middle of night. Heck she heard all the noise that they thought they weren't making. She didn't care though. All she wanted was for the two of them to bond together and be in each other's lives forever.
"HEY SERIOUSLY SLOW DOWN!" Ben shouted at Mia while she was still within shouting distance.
They were in the same school soccer team into their last year in high school. Since there was only a handful of girls wanting to play there was not enough to form a girl's team. The school worked it out with the district so that the girls could play on the same team the boys although only 3 made the cut.
Mia was talented enough to be the very best on the team. She was very nimble and agile. She was only 5'4" and weighed 125lb, but her compact stature complimented her style of play greatly. She was insanely fast. She had the talent to outrun anyone on the field she pleases. When in possession of the ball against another defender; she would knock the ball 35 yards in front of her into open space. Now it's basically a footrace towards the ball and the poor sap is left watching Mia speed past them. She studied videos and professional matches that led to her to mimic her favorite soccer players in the way they played. She was pretty darn good at it too. The ball stuck to her foot like glue when she weaved around defenders, putting the ball through their legs making them look like dunces. Her feet moved at a rapid blur when she performed skill moves such as the classic stepover.
