Love Is In The Air

Jeremy and Yumi waited at the lunch table for Ulrich. Jeremy was crabby because Ulrich was late again.

"Where is he?" Jeremy asked for the hundredth time, just as Ulrich slipped into the chair beside Yumi.

"You're late again." Jeremy scolded.

"I know Mother." Ulrich answered sarcastically.

Yumi turned towards the brunette as he smiled at her.

"Where were you? Meeting started fifteen minutes." Jeremy asked.

"Practice. Besides if this is a meeting then how come Odd and Aelita aren't here?"

"This a meeting for just you two."

"What did we do?" Ulrich whispered to Yumi as he grabbed an apple off her tray.

"No clue." The raven haired girl answered.

"Okay the thing is everyone knows you two like each other except you two." The young genius started.

The two started blushing as Ulrich dropped the apple.

"And it's affecting the team." Jeremy continued unfazed, "If it's not Ulrich jealous of William, then it's Yumi jealous of Sissy or one of Ulrich's fan girls. Then the rest of us have to deal with you two ignoring or fussing with each other.

The lovebirds blushed and looked down guiltily.

"Plus Aelita is so preoccupied with getting you two together that she isn't getting any work done. Yumi I have no idea why you told this boy you only wanted to be friends. And I have no clue as to why this idiot went along with it. So either you to need to get together or move on. Take your pick, we can't have your flip flop relationship, affecting the team. One or the other... I'll leave you to it." Jeremy concluded his speech as he got up to leave.

"He does have a point you know." Yumi stated.

"I know that's what make it harder. So what do you want to do?"

She looked up shyly through her hair. "It doesn't just matter what I want to do Ulrich. It also matters what you want too."

He nodded, deciding he might as well get through this awkward conversation.

"So why did you say you just wanted to be friends?"

"I don't know. I was scared that if I wanted something you didn't, you would reject me. And I've never had a boyfriend before."

He silently placed a hand on her waist as he smiled appreciatively at her show of emotion.

"I could never reject you. I really like you and you're my best friend in the whole world."

She blushed but smiled as their fingers intertwined.

Yumi leaned up and swiftly kissed Ulrich.

"I'd never hurt you Yumes." Ulrich said softly. Before kissing her again.

"I know that now. I just wished I would have know that earlier." Yumi sighed.

"Should've, ,could've, would've. It's all in the past now. We can make a future."

Yumi felt her whole body swell with happiness at the boy's words.

Aelita, Jeremy, and Odd smiled through the window at Kadic's new couple.

"I love you." Ulrich whispered into her ear quickly.

"I love you too." Yumi hugged him.

"So does this like make you my girlfriend?" Ulrich asked blushing.

"That's good right?"

"Amazing." The boy answered kissing her once more.
