Chapter 4:
Why'd I Have to Fall in Love with My Sister's Bestfriend?
Risa woke up to the sound of her bedroom door opening. She groaned. Her head hurt so bad and she felt so cold and sore that she quickly lost motivation to try and sit up in bed. Saya was at her bedside and hurriedly swapped out the wet rag on her forehead for a cool one.
The cool water felt great even though Risa could feel herself shivering. She must've still had a fever. She could feel herself squeezing Saya's hard metal hand, and quickly withdrew it. No way would she be caught dead holding onto a bot’s hand like that, even if it was Saya's. She looked at her alarm clock. It was only 1pm, but she felt as though hours had passed. She really had to pee but the soreness in her body was making it difficult to find motivation to get up, even to pee.
There was a loud knocking on the front door. Saya silently got up to answer it. A short man with glasses entered Risa's room. He was carrying a bag of what looked like medical tools and hurried to the bedside. Saya took a set of vitals for the doctor. HR 132, Respirations 20, temp 39.2 C.
The doctor addressed Risa, “Have you been able to eat and drink ok? Any nausea or vomiting?” he took a quick listen to her heart and lungs while waiting for her reply.
“Actually Doc, I've been pretty nauseous, I puked once. I haven't had anything to eat or drink since yesterday.”
The doctor sighed and shook his head. He shined a light in Risa's eyes and found them to be large and sluggish but reactive. He asked some more questions about life sensitivity and headache. The answer to both, was yes.
Next he examined Risa’s ankle and redressed it. He wrote some medication names on an rx pad and had Saya scan it into the electronic pharmacy request database.
The doctor Spoke to Risa about his findings. “Amane-san, it appears that you have a concussion or a brain injury, as well as a developing infection. This means no screens for about 7-10 days, so no VR, no tv, and no computer. I ordered you a five day course of oral antibiotics. A droid should deliver that shortly. Take all the pills and do not skip any doses. Otherwise, you need to just take it easy. Drink lots of fluids, stay home from school the rest of the week.”
“Are you serious doc? No gaming at all?!”
“Yup or it could lead to permanent brain damage.”
Risa sighed. If only she had just woken up on time this wouldn't be happening. The whole thing was a drag, but at least she got the first week off school. Now her sister couldn’t bitch her out for missing. Finally, Risa decided to get up and pee and take a cool bath since she was already going to be in the bathroom.
She flopped out of bed and stripped right there, leaving her clothes in a pile on her bedroom floor. She set the water and used the bathroom before washing her hair and body. Her mind was totally blank as she felt fatigue setting in once again. She entered the bath half awake then nodded off to sleep again. When she woke up it was almost 330pm. Close to when her sister would be getting home. She knew she better get the fuck out of the bath and grab a snack before Reika-chan got home. She would probably avoid a scolding if she pretended to be sleeping.
Reika was more like a mother to her than a sister. When it came down to discipline for all her foolish actions, it was Reika who dished it out. Their mother wasbusy with her work as a game developer so she was never really around, their father well to be short, dead. He was killed in the Bot factory tragedy five years before when AI had discovered a way to override its protocol, and allowed bots to cause harm to living things. The code was quickly restored but several at the factory had already lost their lives, the families were compensated of course but cure the pain. After that, Saya took care of all the household tasks and Reika picked up the slack. There was literally nothing worse to most people than being told off by Reika. She could make grown men cry and had no issues making her sister regret all her stupid decisions.
That being said time was of the essence, Risa needed to hurry the fuck up before her sister got home and chewed her a new one. Wearing an oversized button up flannel shirt without bottoms, Risa ran out of her room into the kitchen, grabbed a glass of water and a handful of grapes then attempted to retreat to her room when she heard the door open. “Oh fuck. She’s here already? I am so fucked.” Risa stuffed her mouth then squatted down and peered around the corner.
Instead of the familiar face of her sister, she was met with another familiar face.
“Senpai?” Risa uttered, her face turning red as she realized she was so scantily dressed in front of her new crush. All the sudden panicked, Risa attempted to run into her room without saying a word to her sister. Bad choice.
Reika's face turned dark, and Risa swore she could feel a sudden chill in the air. She froze in her tracks.
Reika's voice was aggressive and serious, like a mob boss about to order a death sentence, “Risa-chan is that any way to greet a guest? She came all this way to check on you, and you haven't seen each other in years. Greet Mei-chan properly.”
Risa's head whipped around so fast she was seeing stars. Did she just hear that right? Outloud she blurted out “Mei-chan?! Haruna Mei…”
Risa looked at Senpai: black hair, dark eyes, scar on left hand. Check. Check. And Check. Risa recalled the little girl who shared a tearful goodbye with them when she moved to another city.
There were definitely some similarities, but holy shit had she had a glow up. That curvy body. She must have had at least a D-cups if not bigger.
She was short before and now she had to be at least 160 cm tall. The more Risa thought, the redder her ears became and the hotter her face was feeling.
Risa bowed to Mei- chan quickly, her shirt riding up to her belly button leaving her legs and panties exposed. She quickly shot up fast enough that there was a small chance that Mei-chan hadn't seen anything. Red in the face and panting, Risa slid her back against the door all the way to the floor then reached overhead and locked the door.
Just wtf was happening? Senpai was Mei-chan. Onee-chan's best friend from elementary school. Just woah. Risa's head was about to explode. On her hands and knees Risa crawled over to her bed, rolled back the sheets, and stared up at her bedroom ceiling.
A poster with the MC's from her favorite yuri manga, wrapped in a steamy embrace hung on her ceiling, right above her head. Risa knew she had a serious problem but women and gaming were the only things that brought her any joy. Her bedspread was similar. Women in bikinis, or modelling underwear, or on the cover of manga books. Even her desktop screensaver, women, women, women, everywhere.
Reika onee-chan and Noriko-chan had become immune to Risa's room, and had no issues coming and going as they pleased, but would Mei-chan? Risa found herself suddenly embarrassed for a few different reasons. One: her room was a lesbian's fantasy and quite abrasive for most normies. Two: she had already taken baths and done all kinds of embarrassing stuff in front of Mei as a kid. Three: she was smitten with the girl but had not even realized who she was but Mei-chan clearly recognized Risa.
“Oh man, I fucked up. No girl would like someone who doesn't even recognize them,” Risa thought to herself.
Risa heard a knock on the door followed by the now familiar voice of Mei-chan, “Are you ok Risa-chan? Can I come inside?” the door knob rattled.
Risa was too embarrassed to respond. She closed her eyes for a minute. When she opened them Mei- senpai was standing in the bathroom doorway, a smug expression on her face. WTF!
