Light was leaking in from the gap between my curtains.
I thought I couldn"t sleep anymore,but apparently I fell asleep.
It"s a pretty refreshing feeling, so that was lucky.
". . .Nnn"
As usual, Alice is holding me tightly with both her arms and legs. She slightly moved and barely opened her eyes.
"Ohayo, Alice."
Although I was getting over my own sleepiness, I brightly smiled and gave her a morning greeting.
It feels gross to give Alice a bright smile, but it"ll just lead to less headaches if I just be kind.
I am apparently obliged to spoil her, so I"ll just continue doing that and be the best Onee-chan.
She closed her eyes, and nuzzled her face into my breast like she always does.
I have a strong urge to get away but I just can"t. It will just hurt Alice, so I just have to endure.
". . . Say it."
She murmured while her face was still between my breast.
"Say it". I"ve heard this before.
I get goose b.u.mps just thinking about it, But I have to play along if I am going to be the ideal Onee-chan.
"Onee-chan, say "Alice is the best sister in the world."
I gave an awkward smile while all the color left me. I just stroked her head with my trembling hand, trying to ignore that request.
". . .Hmm"
She closed her eyes, smiled happily and tightly embraced me.
Hey, if you are already satisfied even without me saying that, then please get away from me.
"Hey, Onee-chan."
She murmured while tightly holding me.
"Is it because I cried a lot yesterday? Is that the reason Onee-chan is so worried?"
I didn"t tell her I was worried, But I just wanted some private time.
Anyways, it"s annoying for her to be acting like a spoiled brat and then be whispering lusciously.
"Hey Onee-chan. Because I was very worried I cried so much, So you should apologize for that. . .So kiss my cheek?"(ほっぺにチュウして？)(TN:not 100% sure)
Alice sweetly whispered that.
What are you saying, you idiot? Kiss your cheek? Are you a child? You should be the one apologizing to me.
However if I deny her, Alice"s att.i.tude will sour.
When we were little, Alice was a kiss demon, she would always kiss my cheek. I think I"ve kissed her cheeks several times in the past as well.
I won"t die from this so if it"s just a kiss it shouldn"t be that bad.
I took a deep breath, closed my eyes and gently kissed Alice"s cheek.
Nope. This feels gross.
"Mmm."
I opened my eyes to see Alice smiling widely and getting closer.
I reflectively tried to pull away, but I was held firmly.
Then I was kissed lightly on the cheek.
"Good morning, My Onee-chan."
She said that while sweetly smiling.
Yea, Yea. Good morning. Now if you are satisfied, get off me!
I decided to play the ideal Onee-chan, but being Alice"s big brother isn"t seeming so bad anymore.
Haa, I am starting to miss the kicks Alice would give me in the morning. Compared to this, that doesn"t sound too bad.
Eventually, Alice let go of me and I was able to get up from my bed. I quickly began changing into my uniform and went towards the kitchen.
"Onee-chan wait a second!"
Right when I was heading down stairs, Alice came running out of her room while still putting on her uniform. She must have heard me rushing to leave.
"Wahh!"
While she was pulling on her skirt, her feet tangled up and she tripped. Her skirt going down in the process.
Geeze, already? I am going to die of starvation at this rate.
"Yeah, yeah. Onee-chan is here."
I ran back up the stairs, holding in a huge *Sigh, and helped Alice back up.
"Onee-chan you idiot."
She started hitting me with tears in her eyes.
I want to call you the idiot.
"Sorry. It"s all Onee-chan"s fault."
"Yup."
I hugged Alice and stroked her head while saying "there there".
I was just going down stairs, why did you need me to wait for you?
Well whatever, I sat Alice down and got the skirt, then started to put it on her.
It"s kinda nostalgic. When I was younger Alice would always rely on me for everything, so there were several times it was just changing her clothes while she was sitting down.
She would complain when I didn"t.
Hmm. I"ve forgotten recently but Alice was a spoiled kid back then.
It was entirely different from the Alice I knew a while ago, but the current one may not be too far off from what she used to be like.
"You really are a spoiled kid, Alice."
. . . ! ! ! I unintentionally said what was on my mind. I just called her spoiled. If she hears that she"ll sure- – –
"Ehehe, Yup!"
I thought she would be in a bad mood, but she just laughed happily and agreed.
What kind of person likes being called spoil?
Alice finished changing her uniforms. I took her hand and we went down stairs. Then Alice and I went to the bathroom together.
Alice is standing besides me while laughing with a bright smile.
I took a hand towel and placed it on Alice"s head. I took her tooth brush and put toothpaste on it.
"Open up."
"Ahhh."
She gladly opened her mouth and I shoved the toothbrush in there.
Once it was in and Alice closed her mouth I let go of it and grabbed my own tooth brush.
It was a yellow toothbrush with a drawing of a duck on it"s handle.
Is this a coincidence or are the female me"s preferences exactly the same?
Not only are the colors the same, but even the duck pattern is the same.
"Onee-chan?"
Alice stopped brushing her teeth, asked what was wrong while looking at me confused. Her head slightly tilted.
"Ah, It"s nothing."
I laughed with a smile and then started to brush my teeth with the duck brush.
While I was brushing my teeth, I drew water into two cups and handed one to Alice so she cold rinse her mouth after she spits the toothpaste out. Then I took the hand towel that was on Alice, as a little prank.
After I finished I spat the toothpaste out and rinsed my mouth out with my own cup. I wiped my face down while I was at it.
"Alright then, if you are done let"s wash your face."
"Okay!~"
Once I confirmed she was done I took the hand towel and started to wipe Alice"s face.
With that done I turned her around, took a comb and started to brush her hair.
Again, I am starting to feel nostalgic.
Memories I"ve long forgotten are starting to flood back.
When I was a child, Alice loved it when I brushed her hair. It was always a calm and peaceful time when we did it.
I don"t remember when, but eventually she started to not like me doing it.
That was a long time ago, but combing her hair really brought back those memories.
With Alice"s morning routine fully complete, I stopped brushing her hair and got another hand brush so I could start combing my hair.
"Geeze Onee-chan my hair is already fine. Let me comb your hair."
Right when I was about to start, Alice told me she"ll do it and gently turned me around. She then started to calmly comb my hair.
I am hungry. I haven"t eaten all day. I didn"t really care about my hair. I just wanted to get it done quickly, so I could eat as soon as I can.
"I am so jealous. Onee-chan"s hair is so dark and silky."
She whispered while combining my hair.
Alice"s hair is the pretty one. I could never win against her appearance.
She is a beautiful little sister who is called "one of the most beautiful." in the school, and I am just a plain older sister with normal black hair. Is she just joking when she says she wants my hair?
Well I know that isn"t the truth. . .
I remember when she painted a family picture she painted her hair black and eyes dark.
She changed her beautiful gold hair.
Although she was spoiled by all and was a brat. She always ended up crying alone.
"Onii-chan likes Alice"s hair and eyes."
I murmured that as I looked at her from the mirror.
. . .Ah c.r.a.p. I said Onii-chan by mistake.
"Onee-chan isn"t Onii-chan, Onee-chan is Onee-chan!"
She shouted with a smile.
I guess she thought it was a light joke. Phew, that was lucky.
I need to make sure that doesn"t happen again.
h.e.l.lo. I finished this chapter. Wow. It"s a bit weird that I am always releasing chapters on Wednesday, I don"t plan this. Well anyways here it is. A lot of hints about their past being very similar to this new present. I wonder, just a thought, but what if this reality is just Alice"s dream reality, like she wanted him/her to be an Onee-chan so she could go back to being spoiled and loved. It seems like she was happy then. Although why does she have an negalice in that world wanting Onee-chan"s attention? I don"t know, maybe it"s a side effect or she didn"t think that all the way through, or she was always there so you can"t just erase that. Well anyways, enough of the weird fan theory.
Next chapter in 3-5 days or something. Still no new “I was only” chapter so next is this.
