"Kou," my sister said, giving me a poke in the shoulder, "Hey, Kou. You awake?"

"Yeah, it's not that late," I said, sitting up on my bed. "What do you need?"

Suzuka stood at my bedside, her posture slouched. Her short black hair swayed like a dark sea, framing her pale face with a shadow of unkempt locks. Under them, her pale grey-blue eyes were unfocused, as if she was only half awake. Her lower lip quivered a little as she talked to me.

"I want to talk to you about something, but it'll probably make you mad." Suzuka pushed her glasses up on her face.

"About what?" I asked. I tried to think of anything she could've done that would make me mad. I didn't think she'd broken anything or had spent an exorbitant amount of money recently, though.

"About me, I guess," Suzuka said, "Can I just get next to you here?"

"Oh, um, sure."

Not waiting even a moment, Suzuka wriggled her way into my bed, sighing as she got comfortable under the covers. She stretched her arms up over her head, pushing her hair off her neck, and I caught both a whiff and a glimpse of her armpits. I could tell from the slight musk of them that she hadn't showered recently. Her coarse, dense armpit hair stood out sharply from the ivory-white of her sun-deprived skin. I sighed. The girl had a bad habit of not keeping up with her hygiene, and it was only getting worse. However, I made no mention of it as she snuggled up next to me. It wasn't all that bad, anyways.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" I asked.

Suzuka took a deep breath and held it for a moment before letting it out with a quiet sigh. Her chest rose and fell under her thin tank top.

"Well, I was just thinking about, y'know, how I never really had..." Suzuka looked down, not wanting to meet my gaze. Her face turned a rosy hue and she dropped her eyes to my pillow, mumbling as she continued. "I mean, I don't get out much, you're pretty much the only person I talk to. I've never really had friends, or a boyfriend, and uh, I've never had sex and...." Suzuka's words trailed off as she picked at my pillow, looking nervous.

I listened, a little uncomfortable. I wasn't sure how to respond. "Alright so, what, you want advice on how to get along with people?" I tried to ignore the comment she'd made about being a virgin. I assumed it was just a slip of the tongue; my sister was still a young woman with needs, after all.

"I was wondering if we could, you know, uh, see how things would go, like, if we were... if we were..." Suzuka trailed off and her pale eyes darted to mine, searching.

I knit my brow. "Uh, if we were what?" I asked.

"If we were... dating." Suzuka bit her lip.

"What? Dating?" I asked, surprised. "I don't even know where to start. My sister? Suzuka, we can't do that—"

"I mean, we wouldn't have to actually be dating!" Suzuka said, " You'd just treat me like it, and I'd have to interact with you like we were. I-It would be like a trainer boyfriend."

"Uh..." I looked down.

"Well, I'd be happy with just you," Suzuka said, casting her gaze downward. "And now that I'm going to university, and you're going away, I don't know if I'll see you for a while. Wouldn't you want our time now to be special?"

I took a deep breath. Suzuka was really all I had. Our parents were always out on business one time or another, my friends had started to go their separate ways, but Suzuka was my sister. She'd always be there for me, and I needed to be there for her. If it would make Suzuka happy, what harm could there possibly be?

"Alright." I nodded. "Sure, we could try it, I guess." I sat up in bed, holding the blankets to my chest.

Suzuka turned red and nodded. "Oh, um, g-good."

"So," I said, "What're your first plans for this whole 'trainer boyfriend' thi—"

Before I could finish my sentence, Suzuka had scrambled on top and mounted me, straddling my hips. The thin fabric of her shorts did little to keep the heat and feeling of her body off my crotch. She was breathing hard, and as she started to lower her face to mine, I saw a light sheen of sweat had broken on her neck and forehead.

I pushed her off. "Whoa! I was just wondering!" I laughed. "Come on, sit down and tell me about this."

Suzuka sat next to me and gave me a pout. "Why'd you do that?"

"Do what? Get you off me?" I shook my head. "Well, I mean I don't think—"

"B-But I really want to!" Suzuka blurted out.

I paused. "Want to... to what?"

She fidgeted, fingering the neck of her tank, pulling it down ever so slightly to show her cleavage. "I... I want to have sex with you, ok? For, um, training. To be a good girlfriend."
