I Reincarnated As This Cute Boy's Sister!

She Touched My Hair

"Say, Keith..." My sister said while staring aloof with her blue eyes.

"What is it, Nee-san?" I asked in response.

"As expected, I really want to touch your hair."

...

WHAT'S AS EXPECTED?!

It was a weird start of a day. We were just having breakfast while having mundane chat. It was during our break in the magic school.

"Why so sudden, Katarina?" Father asked, befuddled. Mother just looked at me with pitiful eyes.

"No well, I just thought that Keith's hair looked fluffy, so yeah. So I wanted to ask if it's okay to touch it." She shrugged casually after had eaten her meal.

Mother looked like she was ready to scold her, so out of pity, I defended Nee-san.

"I think it's all right... It's just touching after all. But let's wait until I finished eating, okay, Nee-san?" I asked.

In return, a sparkle glimmered in her eyes.

"Then, it's a promise, okay?!" She stood up so energetically, as if jumping from her original position.

Dumbfounded, I just nodded. Then Mother sighed and Father just let out an awkward chuckle.

It was supposed to just be her touching my hair, but...

Due to our difference in height, she was on her tiptoes and tried touching my hair from my back. Because of this, I had to hold myself back because Nee-san is constantly rubbing her body against mine, the front part in particular.

"Keith, you're too tall." She pouted after some fail attempts. Originally, she had an idea of climbing a chair but, if Mother found out, well... And same went for the idea of me sitting just there or the sofa. You couldn't go behind someone from our sofa and she insisted to touch it from my back for "The sensation is different!"

"! Gwahh!" Suddenly, she screamed unladylike. And reflexively, I spun around. Apparently, she had lost balance and fell.

"Nee-san!" I tried to pick her up, but due to the momentum, we fell together, her head on my chest.

She seemed to be panicking and I recalled to the first time meeting her. I believe it's somewhat similar to this. "WAAA Keith are you all right?!" She asked after had standing up while checking for injuries.

"There's no problem. Is Nee-san injured?" I straightened my posture. She shook her head while looking down.

Some maids then looked at us whispering, mostly pitying me. I accepted the sympathy. Then,

"Keith, let's move to your room."

Momentarily, I sat there struck, not knowing what to say.

"No good? Is it better in mine, after all...?" She spoke something, bit less outrageous than the previous one.

"... Nee-san, you just wanted to touch my hair, right?" I finally found the words to say.

She averted her gaze. I wonder what that meant... "So, your room or mine?"

I was flabbergasted so I just picked mine. Finally, there, she relented her desires.

"Waaah it's so fluffy!" She exclaimed full of joy.

"I don't really think so, though..." After all, it's what looked like curly flaxen.

"It's not true!" She said in... Whose defense? "Keith, do you want to pat mine too?" She asked, twinkles appearing in both eyes. Again, I was left with my mouth agape.

"What's this all actually about, Nee-san?" I finally asked while covering my face with my palm. It was slightly feverish. Of course it would be, I was with the girl I love. Just the two of us, in my room, in my bed, her sitting so nonchalantly in front of me. God knew how much self-restrain I had.

She flinched, then said.

"I guess I'm lonely. You've been maturing so much, Keith. You're like, so much out of reach..."

Well

I was totally not prepared for this.

Screw restrains.

"Keith??" She exclaimed in surprise as I hugged her.

"I won't be out of reach, Nee-san. After all, you're the one who's been clearing the path forwards all along."

She looked truly dumbfounded hearing my statement. Let me rephrase that, then...

"I'll always be by your side, Nee-san."

I said it, my proposal. I then let go of my arms to see how she would react.

"!?"

She was crying.

"S-such a good boy...! I don't deserve you, but, don't forget what you said, Keith!"

It would seem that she mistook it, but it was fine for now.

"Yeah. I won't. Nee-san too, keep your promise, all right?"

She nodded energetically and smiled brightly. So brightly it lit up my whole world.
