Chapter 52
Fatigue
Kanade is tired from lectures at college. She hasn't gotten much sleep lately since her assignments are big and important. Sketch after sketch and then some toning down a little bit. She's been working hard so she can have a good career so she can impress Yukino. Even though they are lovers, Kanade still wants to do whatever it takes to make her older twin sister happy.
"Ugh…why am I so slow…?" Kanade groans as she walks up the stairs. "This is what I get for not sleeping. I need to rest when I get home."
It's like torture for her. She finally turned in the assignments that were due today, but after all of that, she just wants to sleep for the whole day. Right now, it feels like time is going slower and slower by the minute. She gets to the end of the stairway, but heads up another set of stairs just to reach the exit. She yawns loudly, but she doesn't care. She's too drowsy to even think about what she's doing.
"I would've gotten home in time for dinner…if I wasn't so…darn…slow…" Kanade groans. "I don't want to have sex with Yuki-chan tonight. I just wanna go to bed…"
The more she walks, the slower her movements are. She is just about done getting to the end of the stairway. Her drowsiness is starting to get to her more and more. She yawns again.
"Yuki-chaaan…" Kanade whines. "I'm…so slow…I'm tired…"
She is about to reach the exit when her legs are feeling wobbly. Her eyes are closing. She's about to collapse from exhaustion. Stupid assignments. Particularly, it's her fault for not managing her time well, but other than that, it's all for spending time with her dear sister. Just as she is taking another step, she starts to fall forward. Her eyes are almost closed. She can barely see what's happening. However, instead of hitting the floor, her face is met with big, soft round breasts. A familiar, high pitched voice calls out to her in worry.
"Kana-chan! Kana-chan!" Yukino cries. "Hang in there, Kana-chan! I'll take you home!"
That is the last thing Kanade hears before she blacks out.
**Hours Later**
Kanade awakens and sits up to see Yukino by her bedside, preparing some food for her. "Y-Yuki-chan?"
"Glad you're awake, Kana-chan," the sandy-blonde says. "You're just in time for a meal."
"Ah…h-how long was I out?" Kanade rubs the back of her head.
"About a couple hours," Yukino says. "You weren't feeling well for the past 3 days. I was wondering what was up with you."
"I, ummm…" Kanade looks to her older sister. She has a serious expression on her face.
"You worried me, Kana-chan," Yukino turns to her younger sis. "You ignored me and all you ever thought about is work. Can't you just balance it out?"
"I…you're right," Kanade looks down at the sheets. "I just wanted to spend time with you if I got stuff done in time. I didn't want to worry about getting distracted."
"That's so like you, Kana-chan," Yukino serves some food on a tray and hands it to her younger sister. "But hey, tomorrow, we can play all day since we have our days off. After you eat, you can rest up as long as you like. Sound good~?"
Kanade smiles a loving smile. "Yuki-chan…~"
"Ehehe! I'm always looking out for you, Kana-chan~"
"I'm very grateful for that."
