When the person I used to admire, turned out to be a Yandere!

As I thought Emiko was sick.

After sneezing just on my face, she sneezed thrice and her nose turned red as well. Her head was pretty hot when I checked and with the help of a thermometer, I discerned her vulnerability to rain.

I handled the rest of the lunch and told her to rest. And since I got pretty mad when she tried getting up, Emiko currently could be seen in the covers, lying peacefully.

I was done with the lunch but given the spiciness of the food I couldn’t feed her that. It seems she went with something that suited the weather and my taste. But a sick person should stay away from such dishes.

As such, I prepared plain porridge with a raw egg and carried it to the bedroom.

“Haru-kun….sorry for troubling you, even though I was supposed to take care of you.”

“I am not a child, Emiko. ” I rebutted her in a serene voice; to not scare her again.

Her fever wasn’t severe but still, I put a bowl of water in the refrigerator to cool down the water and use it to lower her temperature.

I haven’t informed Nee-san about it or she might panic and leave her in-law’s visit midway. And despite how polite and accepting people they are, any in-laws would get upset if the daughter-in-law leaves so abruptly.

“Come on, get up.” I helped Emiko to straighten herself a little and rest her back against the headboard.

Her condition didn’t look good.

“Don’t rub your nose that frequently. You will get rashes.” I warned her upon seeing her wiping her runny nose thrice after I had entered the room with a handkerchief.

Emiko made puppy eyes and said something extremely nonsensical, “But…I don’t want to let Haru-kun see me with a runny nose.”

….seriously, this girl gets conscious of some of the weirdest things.

“It’s a part of life, Emiko. That doesn’t make you look ugly at all.”

…on the contrary, you look adorable. ” I uttered the last part under my breath, and looking at her embarrassed smile, I think it was conveyed to her.

I took out a pouch of wet and cool tissue from my pocket and put it on the nightstand.

“Use them if you are really adamant.”

Her beautiful smile looked a little more enchanting because her face was slightly flushed. Should I be worried about how I still ain’t resistant to her charms?

Well, needless worries.

I sat on the edge of the bed and scooped some porridge. Blowing over it, I brought it near her lips,

“Come on, eat it.”

“But Haru-kun…mou…” It seems she doesn’t want to eat at all, however, since I have prepared the porridge she can’t possibly reject it either.

That’s what you get for liking someone beyond resistance.

I slowly fed her the porridge which I had tasted before bringing it. Feeding her something extra salty for my first time making something for her, wouldn’t have been good.

“Mm…please no more. I am stuffed.” She pressed her belly slightly and shook her head when I brought another spoonful

Since almost half of the bowl was empty I didn’t force her.

Putting the porridge away, I took a tissue paper before wiping her lips softly.

Emiko, just like a happy child who was getting her parents’ attention during sickness, offered a happy smile and let me wipe her. Her eyes were curved crescent.

I couldn’t help shaking my head and let a smile lift the edges of my lips. She is so adorable….haah~

“Have some water and once you wake up, I will give you some meds.” I was about to get up and bring water for her when I halted upon finding my sleeve being pulled.

Emiko, with her face almost covered and only her puppy eyes visible, asked me, “C-Can I get a good night hug? Just a quarter one?”

What’s a quarter hug? I wanted to ask, but in her current state, she would sound the least reasonable.

With a sigh, I crouched to match her eye level before asking, “Will that be all it would take for you to sleep?”

She nodded and without being able to look at her lips, I could tell what a wide smile she currently has.

What a spoiled child.

I got up before leaning toward her and wrapping my arms around her shoulder.

I held her closely in my arms and felt the heat her body was producing.

More than a hug, it seemed we were cuddling…

I separated my face from her shoulder before asking in a whispering tone, “Is this fine?”

“Ah….a forehead kiss and I will sleep.”

I tilted my head with my eyes going blank. Seriously, how quickly can you go back on your words?

Well, kissing her forehead wouldn’t hurt so I just inched a little higher and softly planted my lips against her head.

It felt soft and warm. It felt comfortable. I wanted to keep kissing her….but what kind of a pervert would I be if I tried taking advantage of a sick person?

I separated my lips from her head and looked at her droopy eyes as she said,

“I would have requested you to sleep with me right here….but…that would make Haru-kun sick as well.”

With her voice turning a little sobby she added, “Thank you for bearing my childish requests.”

She slowly turned to the other side like a child who had been wronged.

I was being emotionally manipulated here. I knew that. More than me, no one knows her better.

….however, none of it stopped me from turning to face her back and wrapping my arms around her waist.

“Stop being dramatic and turn around.”

For God’s sake, I heard her giggle as she slowly turned towards me.

Although she tried to act normal, those eyes couldn’t lie to me. And all I could see was elation in them.

I lifted the covers and covered both of us. Resting her head on my arm I pressed her head against my chest.

“Now, sleep or-”

“I am sleeping!” She held my waist and snuggled closer.
