Hello!
Okay, it's my first try at writing Code Lyoko, and this is just random drabble that I came up with in school. (:
Let's get on with the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own Code Lyoko, or there'd be a lot more kissing instead of almost kissing. D: Moonscoop owns Code Lyoko.
Sometimes, Yumi Ishiyama simply doesn't understand the mind of boys.
She's still friends with them—Ulrich and William, and although she pretends to be oblivious to the glares they give each other, it's just so glaringly obvious, even to her, how they feel about her. But that's not what she can't comprehend.
She just cannot understand why neither of them can get the hints that she's giving them.
William's persistent—he still flirts with her and finds any excuse to sit beside her in class, giving her lavish presents not only on special occasions like Valentine's day and birthdays, but also on completely normal days, when she least expects it, and despite her telling him time and again that all she wants to be is friends, he just won't give up.
Ulrich, on the other hand, seems to just resign himself to the fact that she just wants to be friends, and despite all the hints that she gives that say otherwise, like how she blushes furiously in Pencak Silat when they're in close proximity and how she laughs at every single one of his jokes, he doesn't make a move. At least, not obvious ones like William.
He does praise her every so often, and buys her a drink every Thursday after their Pencak Silat lesson. A wildflower of some sort makes its way, somehow, into her bag or her file just after his trip to his tree, and he always remembers small, minute details about her that William leaves out, and even surprises her on her birthday when he greets her in Japanese, a small smile on his face.
But when someone new to Kadic or Milly and Tamiya ask if they're going out, Ulrich blushes and mutters angrily under his breath, grumbling that they're just friends, and how many times must he repeat that, and Yumi just snorts every time William introduces her as his girlfriend with a You wish, pretty boy, before walking off.
She'll never understand what boys think, but it's never going to stop her from hoping.
