Chapter 3 : "When Minami Falls"
"MINAMI!"
"Onee –chaaan!"
I threw my shopping bags from my hand and quickly checked on Minami, who is now lying down the floor, shivering. I used my right hand to support her back and then I placedmy left hand on her forehead.
This is not good... She looked pretty bad. Her face is beet red and flooding sweats. And I can feel it with my right hand, which is sustaining her back, that her breath is unstable. Her forehead is also burning and her eyes are somewhat teary and somber. It was a very unhappy scene.
"Minami, stay with me! Are you all right?"
"I'm… fine… Aki."
"Geez, You make it sounds like I'm about to die."
"... I just need… a little rest", she weakly added.
"Onee –chan…"
"I'm sorry, Minami. I shouldn't have let you go with me although I saw you trembled when we arrived. I'm such an idiot!" i felt a really big disappointment from inside my heart.
"It's okay… Aki"
"Don't waste your energy on talking. Hold on, Minami."
"A… WAH!"
I moved my left hand from her forehead to her legs then lifted her up. I have to move her to my bed so that she could lay down. Well, my bed is not comfortable, but it is better than the couch.
Huh? Minami… Just now, she threw her arms around my neck!
She… She is sick, so she is not going to use her wrestling move on me now, right?
After I saw her face, I can make myself cool down. How could I think such a thing like that towards an ill girl?
She has a miserable and sorrowful expression drawn on her usually-cheerful face. This is my first time to see Minami like this. She looked so fragile. It is as if she could break any moment. I can't believe that she is the girl that always bullies me physically and mentally every day.
We make our way through the corridor and meet my sister, who is watching TV at the moment. She is shocked when she saw Minami so powerless on my arms.
"What's wrong with Minami-san, Aki-kun?"
"Shehas a fever!"
I shouted at my sister since I have to be quick. I don't care about anything except taking care of Minami now!
As soon as Minami and I arrived in my bedroom, I was attacked by a strange feeling coming from my brain, and it is gotten worse when I am standing in front of my bed to lay the sick Minami down there. Cou... Could this be what they called a 'Man's strange urge'?! Just now, it has successfully deluded my eyes and made me think that Minami, who is in my arms, looked cuter and much sexie...
Ugh, this is tough! But there is no time to think such dirty thoughts!
"Aki… Where am I?"
"Ah...! We are at my bedroom, Minami." I answered just when I came back from my wild imagination.
"Eh? This is wrong! This is just wrong! Let me goooo!" Minami struggled in my arms and moving her legs brutally. What's wrong with laying down a sick person on a bed? I thought you said that you need to take a rest!
"Hey, don't move too much! Otherwise, I will..."
"Baka onii-chan, is onee-chan alright?"
"WAAA!" Minami and I screamed as we fell onto my bed. Hazuki-chan's voice really surprised me. She made me lose my balance and accidentally let down my arms where Minami is. But thank God I still held her tight! Otherwise, she will hit my bed harshly.
Wait...! So... Minami and I are now... together on my… bed?
This is...! I have to get out of here before it's too late!
…
..
But I can't see anything. I felt like my head just landed on something hard then it was… blackout…
I tried to move my arms, but I can't. It is blocked by something hard and wet. I also felt that I am standing on my knees.
I moved my head backwards, and now I can see again.
"Ugh… My head hurts..." i clenched my teeth, hoping to reduce the pain.
On an important note, I now realize why I felt my head landed on something hard. It was because I landed my head on Minami's chest!
"Minami, I'm sorr- AAAARGH MY AAARM!"
She has just locked my right arm between her legs and pressured my other hand under her back.
"Stop it Minamiiiiiii!"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY YOUR HEAD HURTS, YOU IDIOOOT?!
*Cough cough*
Minami coughed hardly and she loosened her legs-lock. It seems like her fever has gotten even worse.
"Minami!"
"Onee-chan, you must take a rest!"
"I know… Hazuki… But Onee-chan has to do her homework", the red-faced Minami said piece by piece as she stroke Hazuki-chan's hair.
"Aki…"
"Yes? Minami?"
"Bring me my book... I'll do it here."
"Uuh… But..."
What a strong willed girl.
But letting her doing her homework will only worsen her state.
I don't want her to get worse than this. I certainly reject it!
"You know… Minami… Maybe we can just go on Sunday…"
"No, Aki… Hazuki and I can't do that." *cough cough*
She coughed so hard again. Why? Why she can't delay the date?
"… Our mother is coming on Sunday from Germany just for a day. Hazuki and I definitely can't not-meet her. Do you understand now? So bring me my books here, Aki."
"That's…"
I moved my legs back and about to execute her command, taking her books. However, I stop walking as I saw Hazuki-chan's expression. She looked very sad and gloomy… Anyone who sees her will have the same opinion as I am.
I don't want to cancel our plan at all cost…But…
…
…
...
No... It won't… It won't be canceled!
Absolutely not!
"Minami. I've decided", I turned at Minami to remark, "You must sleep now."
"No!"
"Don't you understand what I've just said?!"
"I don't want to cancel our plan tomorrow!" (cough cough)
"Me neither. That's why I will do your homework!" answered I.
"What?"
"… We both know that your math's grades are remarkably bad!"
"And also, our hand-writing looked very different! It will be a lot of trouble if the teacher find out!"
"Besides, it will be an all-night long work if you do them all by yourself! You will get sick too and we will have to cancel our plan!"
"You won't be able to do it alone!"
"Just bring my books here, Aki!" (cough cough)
Her last cough is much worse than before. Maybe it's because Minami talked consecutively without a single pause.
"Rest assured, Minami. I've studied much, much harder than I used to. I also will copy your writing as far as I can."
"I won't let you down…"
"And we will go together with Hazuki-chan tomorrow."
"… And this is not just for you," I clenched my fists.
"This is for Hazuki-chan too!"
"Aki…"
"Onii-chan…"
The siblings are stoned upon hearing my lines.
"Just accept it, Minami. It is the only option we have."
Minami rotated her body from facing me to my room's wall. I can only see her red ears and sweaty slender neck.
Then I hear her weak, husky voice.
"… You win…"
"Minami…!" Hearing her words just now, I can finally felt a little relieve.
"... The first argument you've ever won against me," she muttered another words.
"Huh. I really want to punch you in the face right now but lucky you, I'm not in a good shape."
You... You still can't stop from that bad habit of yours? I'm trying to save your life here, for God's sake.
"I'm counting on you… Aki…"
"Understood!" I stood up.
"Baka onii-chan! Hazuki wants to help onee-chan too!" Hazuki-chan came at me with such a serious face and grabbed my hands.
"Un! Let's do this, Hazuki-chan!"
"Thank you Aki, Hazuki... Thank you very much"
"Yeah. Good night, Minami. Sleep well."
"Good night onee-chaan!"
I said as I grab Hazuki-chan's soft, little hand. I'm delightful. Hazuki-chan is really nice! She is willing to help me although she is still an elementary student! I walked out from my room with Hazuki-chan's hand on mine, leaving Minami alone.
-"I'm counting on you, papa..."
I think I heard Minami's voice or something just now, but I've already closed my room's door.
…
..
I might just be all-talk about doing Minami's homework and all.
But I will do it with all my might and get this right!
I am not a man if I fail doing this!
