Does This Relationship Make Sense At All?

(I sure post a lot recent days. Or was I always been? I don't remember launching many threads...was I? Is this relevant?)

word of warning: This deals with Brother–Sister Incest. If you have a particular distaste toward the trope (I really can't blame you. I think I should lay off the Nasuverse a bit), this is not for you.

I was going through designs of some of the characters in my story and the MC and his sister came to my mind.

Because I never had any sister of my own, nor knew anyone who did, I don't know how relationship between a person and his younger sister work. So I want you to look at this background and see if it makes sense in any way.

The MC's sister, currently named Se-A, has something of a deep respect/crush on her brother because she thinks he's one of the most awe-inspiring person she ever came across.

Her first meeting with the MC was during their years at an orphanage, where she was repeatedly bullied until he, a subject of bullying and particular mistreatment from the directors himself, stood up for her. Ever since then, she clung to him like his sister, and when he was adopted, he asked his foster parents , really his biological parents, he asked them to adopt her as well, which they agreed.

Few years later, when the MC's family was travelling in Liverpool (partially to meet his parents' friend), he and Se-A was attacked by a vampire and took a blow for her, which ripped his soul out and practically killed him (he comes back to live, but that's another story). After he comes back, she decides that she would be (urgh, here I go) strong enough so she can stand on her own and earn the MC's respect.

Years later, she's a third year middle school girl while the MC is first year in his high school. She is pretty much The Ace and has been asked out by boys many times, but reject them all because she's preoccupied with getting the MC's attention and even feels jealousy toward some girls he hangs out with (some of whom has crush on him). Then somehow (I don't know how, any suggestion?), she learns that the MC is really biological son to the parents. Upon learning that, she becomes frustrated, thinking that she's the only outsider and feeling left out. Also, there's his feeling toward him that she is aware of but can't do anything about it and she sometimes thinks that it would have been better if she wasn't adopted along with him because that way, there would have been no problem with her feeling toward him. So she is grieved that how she can't be neither a real family member *

nor his lover (urgh, that word feels awkward).

Does this make any sense or not disturbing at all?

Oh, and I don't feel very cheerful nowadays so can you be not too blunt with criticism because I'm not good at taking them directly. *puts on construction site eye protector*

I'm going back to my dorm, so goodnight!

They're Not Blood Siblings, so everything's fine. Tsuchimikado says so

I've got new mythological machinery, and very handsome supernatural scenery. Goodfae: a mafia web serial

Sounds like they'd be pretty emotionally disturbed. After all, very traumatic backstory. I could see them clinging to each other. I don't think they'd form true romantic attachment, but they may not be very good at figuring out in what way they love each other. Especially if the girl was sexually abused by someone who was otherwise quite caring towards her, since kids who go through that often think all love is romantic/sexual desire.

If you're going to try to portray this as an ideal relationship, then I'd probably be kind of disturbed by it. But if you portray instead as two flawed, confused people seeking love, then it sounds fine.

If I'm asking for advice on a story idea, don't tell me it can't be done.

How old were they when they were adopted?

Not Blood Siblings? Fair game.

You exist because we allow it and you will end because we demand it.

@KSPAM and SH: Oh come on, I want more explanation than THAT....

@Ettina: Brother–Sister Incest (even they are not blood related), as an ideal romance? Yeah, right. None of them has any history of sexual abusement, rather slightly physical and mostly apathy.

&Orange: Six and seven

Oh, and I should mention, that the MC is the incarnation of The Stoic who really don't care about romance in any kind, because he's too busy with schoolworks and vigilante activities. While his sister seeks his approval, he seeks his father's approval. The problem is that while the father knows that and really loves him, because he's a very hardworking and honest kid, but because never expresses it because he thinks that, due to his dark past, he is not worth being considered as a parental figure to anyone.

Considering that the father decided to adopt him back, I'd think he'd be over this "oh i don't deserve to let my son be happy" attitude.

Here's the funny thing. He DOESN'T KNOW that the MC is his son.

Hilarity Ensues, I presume?

Normally, it would. In this case, it does not, because when he got married to the MC's mom, they tried to have kid but because of her condition, they are unable to. The thing is, due to his past, he thinks that it's good thing anyway, because he thinks that if they have any kid, s/he will be screwed because of him. So he didn't have any objection with adoption, although there was a fact that he was an adoptee too.
