My Little Sister Can’t Sleep

Moonlight is shining through the curtain gaps.

Haruta went to bed early tonight, but he can’t sleep at all.

It hasn’t been a whole day since their parents told them about their divorce.

Their mother and father went to work at noon, but Fuyu and Haruta didn’t go to school at all.

Haruta bought a couple of convenience store bento for lunch, and for dinner, their father who unusually came home early, bought some food from a nearby curry shop.

Haruta has barely spoken to Fuyu all day.

Haruta only talked to Fuyu when he asked what Fuyu wanted to eat for lunch.

Haruta was on the living room the whole day, while Fuyu was holed up in her room.

‘What was I doing today?’

Haruta thought to himself.

Haruta tries to remember, but he can’t remember anything.

Haruta fiddled with his phone and watched TV all day, but he doesn’t seem to remember it at all.

After they had dinner, their mother came home, but they didn’t talk at all.

‘Come to think of it, I’m not even related to that person—’

Haruta thought so, but he doesn’t say it out loud.

Their mother tried to act as usual to Haruta, but there is no way they could have a normal conversation with each other after finding out the truth.

Both Haruta and Fuyu quickly took their baths and went to bed together before 10PM.

Usually, Haruta stays up until 12PM, while Fuyu goes to bed about an hour before that.

From under Haruta’s bunk bed, Haruta can feel that Fuyu is still up.

Perhaps, Fuyu can’t sleep either.

No wonder why.

Fuyu is not that insensitive to be able to sleep after being told such truth.

Even though she is not Haruta’s sister—Haruta knows Fuyu better than anyone else.

“…Onii-chan.”

“Whoa!”

Fuyu’s face suddenly appear from the bunk bed ladder.

“I’m sorry, do you have a minute?”

“W-What is it?”

“Umm…I can’t sleep.”

“I see.”

Haruta pulls himself up from the bed.

Haruta can guess what his sister is trying to say.

“Let’s go for a little walk then. Mom and Dad won’t know…no, I don’t even care if they know.”

“Yeah.”

Fuyu nods with a blank expression on her face.

Haruta knows exactly what Fuyu is thinking.

Instead of worrying in bed, she’d rather go outside and distract herself from all of these problems.

Because Haruta feels the exact same way.

Haruta goes down the ladder of his bunk bed, and takes his hoodie and jersey from the closet.

He takes off his T-shirt and shorts which he uses as pyjamas, and quickly puts them on.

“Hmm…?”

Haruta glances over to his side and—

Fuyu wraps herself with a blanket and rummages around.

She takes off her pink pyjama top, revealing a glimpse of her bare shoulders.

“……”

Haruta pretends to look at his phone.

Haruta doesn’t use any social media nor play games on his phone.

“Hmm…”

Fuyu is now changing her pyjama pants.

Because changing clothes inside a blanket is quite hard, Fuyu threw her pants as she took them off.

A glimpse of Fuyu’s white panty can be seen.

Fuyu actually tries to not show her body too much to Haruta, but she ends up with a lot of gaps.

Fuyu’s bare shoulders and white panty.

Haruta has seen such things every day, and he didn’t think anything of it.

No, Haruta actually thought they are cute and erotic—but he shouldn’t think about such things now.

“Ah…”

“Hmm?”

“Onii-chan…I’m sorry, can you get me a change of clothes?”

Fuyu asks Haruta to help her out while she is still half naked, wrapped in her blanket.

“…yeah, of course.”

Haruta knows where Fuyu’s clothes are in their shared closet.

It was nice of Fuyu to hide behind a blanket while changing her clothes, but she forgot one important thing. She forgot to prepare her change of clothes.

Normally, Fuyu would just taken off her clothes and take her new ones out of the closet half naked.

“Here Fuyu.”

“Ah, Thank you…”

Fuyu takes the clothes and quickly hides herself under the blanket.

They still haven’t been able to sort their feelings out and face each other after finding out the truth.

There is no way Fuyu can change her clothes shamelessly in front of Haruta after knowing the truth.

However, Haruta can almost see everything, her delicate body, ample b*****s, and even her white panty. Perhaps it’s because she always let her guard down in front of Haruta.

“Umm, Onii-chan…”

“What’s wrong?”

Fuyu peeks out from her blanket with an apologetic look on her face.

“Can you take my pair of shorts instead of this pair of jeans? The one with pink lines on it…”

“…It’s really cold outside you know?”

Even at a time like this, it seems that Fuyu can’t be compromised when it comes to her fashion.

While Haruta is relieved to see Fuyu acting like usual—

Haruta also feels really lonely, because Haruta knows that they can’t be the same as they used to be, they won’t be able to do the things they used to do anymore.

Haruta didn’t know how sentimental he can be just to prepare to go for a walk—

Haruta seems to regret a little about inviting Fuyu for a walk.
