My Yandere Girlfriend Is Obsessed With Me For Some Reason - Chapter 25

After regaining my composure… I felt incredibly embarrassed being so close to Sensei. And somehow, I felt like Sensei was relying on me… I wanted to protect her. I didn’t know what to do, but still… I couldn’t just ignore Sensei looking so pitiful.

We stayed like that for a while.

“Is it okay if I sleep next to you like this?”

“No, you can’t.”

“Aw…”

“So, what happened?”

“I’ve been sleep-deprived… or rather…”

“Sleep-deprived? Is it because of Kanzaki-san?”

“Yeah. You might not believe it, but I… haven’t slept at all for three days, and when I tried to go out, I suddenly got dizzy and collapsed. I think that’s what happened.”

Sensei was sleep-deprived…?

But not sleeping for three days sounds more like a sleep disorder than just being sleep-deprived.

Even though she must be extremely tired, Sensei endured it all this time? I hadn’t noticed at all. Normally, with a sleep disorder, you’d expect to see signs of fatigue, but Sensei looked the same as always… I didn’t know.

I felt like she slept deeply when we slept together, but was that just my imagination?

“Actually… I was planning to go to the hospital today, but as you can see… I couldn’t go.”

“Since when…”

“Ever since I became an adult… it’s been like this.”

“Since always?! Really…”

“When I can’t sleep, I usually take medicine, but… I got scared of the side effects and stuff. So sometimes I try using alcohol… but alcohol isn’t something you can drink every day, so it didn’t work.”

“That’s…”

“But I’ve reached my limit! I can’t keep up my bright face and energetic voice in front of you anymore. I might have been pushing myself too hard.”

Sensei leaned her head on my shoulder and held my hand.

“Why would you…?”

“I didn’t want to show you that side of me, fearing you might dislike me.”

“You don’t need to do that! I won’t leave you, Kanzaki-san!”

“Yeah. But I wanted to become close to you quickly, so maybe I pushed myself too hard.”

“Close? Why…”

Sensei sitting next to me moved to sit on my lap.

Then our eyes met.

“I don’t want to take medicine. I don’t want to drink alcohol. But without them, I can’t sleep. So I thought there was no way out.”

“I see…”

“But when you sleep next to me, I can sleep. I don’t have nightmares, and I feel healed by your warmth… I wanted us to become close soon. I thought then I could sleep deeply.”

“Nightmares…”

“But it was impossible to ask that of you… I endured it alone all this time.”

“I… see.”

“I’m sorry. Saying selfish things and not considering your position at all. That day… when you slept beside me, I was so happy. I slept deeply without medication and didn’t have nightmares… You’re important to me…”

“Kanzaki-san…”

“Sorry for saying strange things. I shouldn’t show such a pathetic side to my students at my age. I feel like a fool.”

Tears rolled down her cheeks onto my lap.

While I was playing with my friends, Sensei… had been enduring all that.

I couldn’t do anything for Sensei, and it made me very sad. I wanted Sensei to smile. I wanted her not to feel anxious. And I wanted to see her cute smile again. What could I do to make that happen…

“Please don’t cry, Kanzaki-san…”

Sensei always does so much for me. What can I do for her?

“I like being by your side like this… I’ve been alone for so long. I told my ex-boyfriend that I was lonely, but he didn’t stay by my side… Now there’s only you.”

“Yes. There’s only you for me too, Kanzaki-san.”

“R-really…?”

Her cute face was now covered in tears.

“Yes.”

“Actually… I wanted to say I didn’t want to go see a movie with my friends because I wanted to spend the summer vacation together… but I didn’t want to bother you…”

“I-I see…”

“I couldn’t say it because you have your own relationships…”

Such a nice person, Sensei.

Was she worried about my relationships?

Really, I feel stupid.

If I had said not to go, I wouldn’t have gone either.

I don’t want to see that collapsed figure on the floor anymore…

It’s becoming a trauma.

“Um… if you don’t mind! I’ll stay by your side until you fall asleep.”

“Huh? I-Is that okay? T-To do such a thing…”

“I can’t sleep together, but… I’ll just watch over you until you do.”

“I don’t mind! It’s okay to sleep next to me! Ik-kun won’t do anything dirty to me.”

“Even if you say that, sleeping next to you is a bit…”

“And I’ll give you my key too! Come over to my place at night.”

“Y-Yes…”

“Um… w-will you really stay by my side until I fall asleep?”

“Yes.”

Why am I asking again? Embarrassing.

“Oh no, what should I do… I’m so happy I can’t stop crying! Huh… I feel like I’ve broken! Tears won’t stop…”

“A-Are you really that happy? Just being by your side.”

“Yeah! I’m super happy! Hey, give me a hug!”

“I can’t do that! Please stop.”

“At times like this, you should hug me tight!”

“Y-Yes…”

“Hehe♡”

If Sensei is happy, then that’s good. Right now, I like seeing that smile the most.

And since Sensei is fragile… I feel like if I’m not there to protect her, she might break. Like today.

“I love you… ♡”

Reina, with tears streaming down, smiled as she hugged Ibuki.

Her face gradually turned red too.

“…………”

“It’s so warm~ ♡”

“Y-You’re sticking too close, Kanzaki-san…”

“Hehehe♡ It’s fine~”

For a while, I have to stay by her side so she doesn’t feel anxious. After work, we’ll have dinner together, and when it’s time to sleep, I’ll watch over her right away. Because this is all for Sensei, this is all I can do, so I’ll cherish this time spent with her.

That’s how Sensei became part of my routine.

“Come to think of it, you haven’t eaten dinner yet, right?”

“Oh, I-I don’t need it today…”

“Is that so…? Then, should we sleep around here today…”

“Please change your clothes! You’re still in your regular clothes! Kanzaki-san!”

“Oh, right, I forgot. Silly me! Then, Ik-kun, you can undress me…♡”

“Please do it yourself!!! Kanzaki-san!”

“Heheh.”

Precious… time.
