A Yandere’s Morning

At the break of dawn, the sky began to take on the pale hue of a fish’s belly.

Waking in the new day, I lazily stretched my limbs, then sat up and rubbed my bleary eyes.

Ha~ Sitting on the bed, I let out a long yawn. My warm breath turned to mist as it dispersed. Feeling the chill in the air, I couldn’t help but shiver.

“Brr, it’s really cold today.” Sensing the biting winter chill, I vigorously rubbed my arms with my hands, then snuggled back into the covers.

‘Really don’t want to get up.’ Once again, I burrowed into my blanket, soaking in the warmth, and closed my eyes in satisfaction.

“Big brother~ Good morning~” My little sister’s soft, childish voice came from beside me. I mumbled a reply.

“Morning. What time is it?” I wriggled, curling up, savoring the cozy warmth of the bed.

“Six o’clock~”

“Is that so? Pretty early still. I can snooze a bit more.” With that, I closed my eyes again.

Since school starts with morning reading at 7:30, and we live quite close, there’s no problem with lazing around a little longer.

Plus, I had another reason to stay in bed: today’s superpower was seriously toxic. It was a power that heightened my sensitivity to cold.

‘What the hell! If this were summer, it’d be praised to the skies. But in winter, it’s just adding frost to snow!’ I could feel all the cold air in the room invading my bed, desperately burrowing into my blanket. ‘This is so messed up!’

“Big brother… Maybe we should skip today? Wuwu, it’s so cold.” My sister shivered, then slowly moved closer to me, pressing her body tightly against mine.

“No, I’m going to school.” I said it firmly. The reason? Simple.

Yesterday during duty, I made a promise with Zhibo. We agreed that whoever broke it would be a single dog forever, never getting a wife…

╮(─▽─)╭

“Eh… I thought today we could spend the day in bed together. Ah, I planned for us to roll in the sheets together, warm each other up with our bodies, and…” My sister looked disappointed, pouting and puffing her cheeks as she rubbed her palms together.

‘So should I be happy about my decision to go to school…’

After a little more lazing around, I reluctantly stuck a foot out. But before it even touched the floor, I felt a bone-chilling wind sneak up my pant leg.

‘Mother of god! It’s freezing cold! No, it’s frostbite cold!’ Scared, I quickly pulled my foot back under the covers and shivered.

“Big brother, how’s the situation outside?” My sister grabbed my hand, rubbed it vigorously, and looked at me worriedly.

“The enemy is too strong. I’m unable to cope. I have to retreat. Report complete.” I had to admit, the wind outside was downright insane. But should I take a sick day for my health?

“Then we should really take a day off…”

“Yeah, I guess that’s the only way.”

Ding. My phone buzzed with a text message. I reached out with lightning speed, grabbed the phone from the desk, and opened the message.

‘Brother Huaimo, about what you asked for last time, you know. Meet at noon.’

‘Great, Brother Zhibo. See you there at noon. It’s a bit cold today, take care not to catch a cold.’

‘You too, Brother Huaimo. Though you’re strong, still be careful of the cold.’

Seeing this, I closed my phone and decisively got out of bed. I said to my sister, “Goodbye, sis. I’ve decided to go to school. I’ll tell the teacher you have a cold.”

‘Hmph! What’s this cold?! Even if the frigid wind slaps my face, so what? I’m not just a qualified old hand; I’m a role model for drivers! And I hold the highest honor—a god of driving! What’s this freezing weather?! Brr, it’s so cold. Maybe I should put on another sweater.’

“Wuwu, big brother, don’t go. Even if it’s a paradise on earth, I won’t be happy without you.” My sister’s whimpering voice came from behind me. But, ‘you’d better not come… If I’m caught doing that kind of thing, it’ll be trouble. So…’

“No! I’m thinking of your health, sister. Your skin is so delicate; I’m afraid the harsh wind will hurt it!” I clenched my fist and said with feigned reluctance.

“Big brother…”

“Be good.”

“I don’t believe your lies…” My sister’s face darkened.

“Why don’t you trust your brother! Don’t you love me anymore?!” I complained loudly, though I was just putting on airs. But at a time like this, who cares about face! When resources are at stake, everyone is equal!

“Love? Brother?”

“Gulp.” I swallowed nervously, looking at my sister who was getting more intense on the bed.

“Love? Brother? Don’t joke around.”

“S-sister…”

“If it’s just “like,” anyone can say that. You know how many people confess to me, big brother? They all say they like me. I’m tired of hearing it~”

“Uh… well…”

“So, I won’t say that I like you, big brother. Hmm~ Should I use “love”? That’s still not enough.”

“Ah…”

“So, you see, big brother, the highest feeling one person can have for another is indeed “love.” But I think “sickness” is the word for being devoted to someone body and soul, big brother~”

“Ah, oh, I see…” I stepped back in panic. My sister had now lifted the covers, gotten out of bed, and was slowly walking toward me.

“Hmph, big brother is a man who can charm without speaking. Letting a big brother with a mouth run free is too dangerous for a little sister~” She bared her teeth and came closer.

“So, big brother, I’ll go with you. If necessary, I’ll personally gouge out your mouth~ But don’t worry, even if your mouth is ruined and you can’t speak, I can still understand you through your eyes~”

“Of course, if big brother is too lewd and stares at other women all day, then having your eyes dug out by me would be fine too.”

Thump. The wooden sound of the door closing behind me. I leaned against the door, cold sweat pouring. ‘I’ve been cornered at the door!’

“Because I love you, big brother. So no matter what you become, I’ll know what you want. Ah, I said “love,” but “sickness” sounds too strange for you, brother. Let’s just use “love” instead.”

“Heehee, so feel honored, big brother. You’re already the happiest person in the world~”

My sister came close, snuggled into my arms, hugged my waist with her small hands, and rubbed against me like a kitten.

“Big brother~ If you don’t take good care of your kitten, she’ll die of loneliness. So, brother, stay with me forever, okay?”

“Isn’t that right? Meow~”

She let out a soft meow, lifted my shirt with her creamy white hands, and gently licked my lower abdomen with her wet tongue. Then, leaving a fine silver thread of sticky saliva, she stuck out her tongue and looked at me seductively.

“I-it’s just going to school, it’s not like I’m not coming back, right?”

“Wrong!”

“Eek!”

“Anyway! I’ll go change, and then~ we’ll go to school together, big brother.”

“O-okay.”

Then she let go of me. I moved aside from the door, and my sister, humming a tune, went straight to her room.

‘Ah, yanderes are really scary.’
