Guardian of Happiness
Ok guys this is my first fanfic of Code Lyoko. I really decided to write this because its going to be based on what I experienced. This means that it will be a little AU or maybe full AU but I will decide later. Some characters might just a little OOC.
Yumi likes William. After a school trip they break. What will Ulrich do? Will Yumi keep jumping between two guys? Or will she pick one? YxU, minor JxA and YxW
Disclaimer: I do not own Code Lyoko.
Some changes:
There is no XANA
Yumi and Sissy don't hate each other.
Ulrich and Aelita are extremely close friends, like brother sister.
Ulrich, Yumi, Odd, and William might play tennis I'm not sure, but its not an in dept thing.
Ulrich: 15 (only in months from everyone else)
Yumi: 14
Aelita: 14
Jeremie: 14
Odd: 14
Sissy: 16
William: 16
Chapter 1: The beginning
Ulrich's P.O.V.
I can't believe that Yumi and William are going out. Everyone said she was starting to like me as more then a friend, all these signs she was giving me were becoming more obvious...Heck even I thought about it. But one fateful day when he walked her back home he asked her a question that would sealed everything. He beat me to it. I knew listening to people was a bad idea. In order to keep her happy I locked away my feelings for her. There can't be a third person in this, that will only cause trouble. If she is happy then I am happy, thats good enough for me. I stayed as her best male friend. The one she could come to whenever something was wrong, the one she could depend on, the one that would always be there for her. That was the day I titled myself as her Guardian of Happiness. I vowed to myself that I will do everything I can to preserve that. After one school trip everything changed.
Yumi's and William's class was sent off to Florida for five days or so. I didn't like the idea of her being out there with William, but they are classmates and I really don't have any say in what she does. That is her own business. I wish I could call her but due to the distance, I didn't want to press her phone bill. So I expected to not have any contact until she came back. The first day proved me wrong already.
No one P.O.V.
Flashback
12:30 AM:
Ulrich heard his phone vibrating on his night stand. He groped around blindly until he felt the smooth surface of his iPhone. He picked it and grumbled "ello..." in a sleepy tone.
"Oh shoot did I wake you up? I'm so sorry! I'll just call you back another time." It was Yumi, her angelic voice seemed to snap it out of his soporific trance.
"No wait! Don't worry about it, I'm already wide awake anyways," he was trying to sound casual, its only been a day but he missed talking to her. "So how is Florida for you? What have you guys been up to?" obviously he was changing the subject so she would talk to him.
"Well..." she sounded a little hesitant. "Things between William and I aren't really going to well, traveling is suppose to help relationships, but it feels like we have just been drifting apart." Right after hearing this, two alarms went off in his head. Alarm #1: She isn't happy right now HELP HER. Alarm #2: She is available THIS IS YOUR CHANCE. Stuck between two choices, what she feels and what he feels. The answer was obvious, he was her Guardian of Happiness, what he feels is unimportant.
"Whats wrong? You need to tell me so I can help you."
"It's just, he is too touchy. He always wants hugs from me, he always wants to hold my hand. Its getting really annoying! I hardly have any space to myself." she didn't sound sad, it was more of a miserable tone. It was obvious that she was disappointed in his actions, almost like she expected more from him.
"Well have you ever asked him to stop, or at least tell him you don't like it? You need to tell him or else you will be getting mad at him for something that he doesn't know about."
"I want to but he is really emotional. He will take it so badly, like I don't like him or anything. UGH this is so annoying, I feel so trapped! Anything I do will result it one of us getting hurt. I guess I'll just take it.." she started to trail off. Ulrich could tell it was something she didn't sound too happy about it.
"Look, if you leave this problem alone it will only turn bigger. You need to stop it ASAP, or else you might break up. When you tell him try and make it sound discrete, like sugar coat it a lot. That way he can get the message but not feel like your breaking up or anything. Also just give it sometimes, your trying to rush it too much" he was just hitting her with plain reasoning. To him it was obvious because Ulrich has a sense for people. He knows whats right and wrong, he also knows what they are feeling. He has been right 99 of the time. The only 1 was Yumi, no matter what she was doing he can't figure out what she was thinking.
An awkward silence followed. Neither of them said a thing for what felt like hours but in reality were seconds.
"Thanks Ulrich, you don't know how much that helped." as she said that relief washed over him. "With all this happening I just couldn't think straight. I can't really talk to anyone here or else they might tell William. I'm so glad that I called you, somehow you always find a way to make me feel better." after those words, the feelings Ulrich locked away, the ones he was trying to avoid started to surface. The heart he tried to freeze in time started beating her name again.
"Hey I have to go, since it's long distance I have to restrict myself to fifteen minutes. But I'll be sure to call you later ok?" she said in a much more pleasant tone. He felt like he completed a mission, like his life actually had a meaning.
"Alright, talk to you later" with that he hung up.
After that night he slept soundly. He had a feeling that those fifteen minutes got him a lot closer then he expected.
End Flashback
After that night he slept soundly, knowing that in those fifteen minutes he got a lot closer to the girl of his dreams. Little to his knowledge during that night his roommate, Odd, overheard everything.
Flames welcomed. My first fic so anything helps.
