The next day.
“…Nghh.”
It’s been a while since I’ve had a day off from work, so I slept like a log until late afternoon. When I woke up to the sunlight shining through the curtains, I caught sight of the familiar ceiling.
However, I didn’t immediately get up.
Or perhaps I should say, I couldn’t get myself up.
“…Erm, Shiori-chan?”
My cheeks twisted awkwardly as I called her name, who was sleeping next to me.
She’s sleeping, but not fully, since her eyes are wide open. Her cheek was resting on my chest, and we were entwined in a tight embrace.
“You’re still a sleepyhead from yesterday, aren’t you, Onii-san?”
“No, before that, why are you sleeping in my bed?”
I asked fearfully.
My heart rate is rising at an alarming rate because I’m agitated, but on the other hand, I’m in too much of a hurry to calm down.
“Did you forget? Didn’t Onii-san ask me to go to bed with him?”
“Ha? Did I?”
“Yes, lunch was ready, so I tried to wake you up, but then you dragged me…”
“Eh, y-you’re lying, right? That’s just…”
A cold sweat broke out from my pores.
I feared that I might be taken care of by the police.
“It was just a joke. Did you take it seriously?”
Shiori-chan smiled, and then broke the news to me in a nasty way.
I let out a huge breath of relief, as if I had just come back from the brink of death.
“I-I panicked because of that, so don’t make those bad jokes ever agai─Eh, well then, why were you sleeping in my bed?”
But if I hadn’t done anything, it would mean that Shiori-chan had gotten into my bed herself. I rolled my eyes at that fact.
“Is it bad if I sleep here?”
“Well, of course it’s bad! Just because I’m Yuzu’s brother doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be cautious!”
Maybe she perceives me as a safe creature, but her risk management skills are far too low. Even though I’m my sister’s brother, a male is still a male.
“Onii-san, are you going to do something to me?”
“No, I won’t! But what’s with that? If you do the same thing to someone else in the future, you’ll have a lot of problems.”
“It’s okay. I would only do something like this to Onii-san.”
“Only me…”
Shiori-chan’s cheeks flushed slightly as she looked up at me.
I was unconsciously thrilled, but I quickly shook my head to the side to dismiss the evil thought.
I’ve always had an overly self-conscious side.
Just because someone picks up my eraser or says hello to me, it makes me wonder if they like me. I can’t help but let my imagination run wild.
In middle school, I had a painful experience with this, so I lost my confidence and began to doubt every single thing I said.
If it had been me in the past, I would have assumed that Shiori-chan had feelings for me.
But now, I’m different.
I don’t think that Shiori-chan likes me in any selfish way. I’m sure she’s just having fun teasing a high school student.
But as I was calming myself down, Shiori-chan whispered in my ear.
“─I’m not going to do anything embarrassing like this unless it’s with Onii-san.”
….. No, I’m pretty sure she likes me.
While thinking I was overly self-conscious, I was getting more convinced it was so.
