It was just another sunny day and students of Kadic academy thought only about having fun in such good weather. A brown haired boy was walking down the empty hallway, to his dorm which he shared with his best buddy, classmate and Lyoko warrior.
Boy opened the door and silence greeted him. "So he's out again." Boy whispered to himself when a folded piece of paper caught his eye. He walked closer to his desk and grabbed the paper.
It was addressed to him. Ulrich hesitated with opening the message. Who could write it? Yumi? Sissi? Brunette unfolded it and started deciphering the messy scrawl.
'Meet me in the forest by the tool shed.' The message said. Ulrich blinked a few times when he realized it was Odd's handwriting. "Couldn't he just text me instead of doing all of this?"
The tall boy thought. He really liked Odd, maybe more than it was appropriate. Lately the boys spent almost all their time together, having fun, just the two of them, without Einstein and Princess. And Yumi.
Ulrich walked out of the room, locked the door and headed towards the tool shed. As he was getting closer, his heart was beating faster, his steps were quicker, he had to hold himself from running.
Brunette stopped by the tool shed and stood there, panting. He glanced around himself, searching for the person. He calmed down and partially walked past the shadowy place when a cold hand covered his mouth and the other one pulled him into the shadow.
Green eyed boy decided to wait and after a moment he got effects. Hand was taken away from his mouth and he turned around the face the letter's owner. But in such dark place all he saw were two glistening violet orbs, big pupils catching the light.
"…Odd… Is it you?.." Ulrich asked though he was pretty sure of the answer. "Ulrich…" Odd whispered back.
Samurai felt little palms rest on his chest, the pressure getting higher as Odd leaned up and lip locked with Ulrich. The kiss lasted for ten seconds and blonde pulled away. Ulrich didn't have to see in dark to know that Odd is blushing.
Brunette felt he was being pulled out of the shadow into the sunny blotch between the trees. Blonde boy stood in front of him, his cheeks flushed. They were still holding hands.
"Ulrich. You can yell at me, you can hit me, then move out, but just hear me out. I love you. I know it's not how it should be, we're both boys, but I don't think that's an obstacle." Odd said quickly and passionately, then closed his eyes, expecting something bad to happen.
Ulrich felt like he was struck by a mental lighting. Odd was worried with the silence that surrounded them and the blonde creaked one eye open just to see Ulrich raise his hand. Odd closed his eye and waited for the slap. He flinched when he felt a palm on his cheek, but it was nice. The hand caressed his cheek, brushed over his pink lips, firmly grabbed his chin then lifted it up.
"Open your eyes." Ulrich said softly, with a little smile curving his lips. Odd opened his eyes and blinked a few times, surprised with Ulrich's reaction to his words. Then blonde felt Ulrich's lips on his, his eyes widened then shut closed and Odd kissed back, smiling through the kiss. Odd cupped Ulrich cheek as he felt Ulrich's arms sneak around him and hold him close.
After they parted Ulrich said "I love you too, Oddy. I realized it just by now.. Sorry to make you wait." Brunette smiled sheepishly and held his 'buddy'. Odd sighed and let his hand wrap around Ulrich's neck. "Bene."
