Disclaimer: I still do not own Code Lyoko or the song Beautiful Disaster.
I know I already did a song-fic with the song Beautiful Disaster by Jon McLaughlin, but I heard the song Beautiful Disaster by Kelly Clarkson and had to do it. This fic is totally unrelated to my other Beautiful Disaster fic; I just put it as another chapter because it's easier and because the songs have the same title. OxA, told from Aelita's POV.
He drowns in his dreams
An exquisite extreme I know
He's as damned as he seems
And more heaven than a heart could hold
I knocked on the door to the dorm that Odd shared with Ulrich.
"Ome on in." came Odd's muffled call.
I opened the door to see him laying on the floor on his stomach, his feet swaying in the air, a pen hanging out of his mouth, and papers strewn all around him.
And if I try to save him
My whole world could cave in
It just ain't right
It just ain't right
"Oh Odd," I giggled, sighing as I did so, "What would this room look like if Ulrich was never here?"
Odd just shrugged, looking up at me, his eyes trying to laugh although sadness shone through, like the sun through the clouds on a rainy day.
Oh and I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
He took the pen out of his mouth, jotting down a few words on the paper in front of him. His handwriting was surprisingly neat, but I guess that comes from drawing so much. He sat up, stuffing the paper under his pillow.
"I'll remember it later." He said, as if that explained everything.
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster
"Let's go to lunch." Odd said; standing up he walked towards the door, only to step on a piece of paper and fall backwards, hitting his head on the side of his bed.
"Oww," He groaned.
"Maybe we should go to the infirmary instead." I said, trying to hold in a giggle as I helped him to his feet.
He's magic and myth
As strong as what I believe
A tragedy with
More damage than a soul should see
"I'll be fine," Odd reassured me, wincing at the pain in his head.
"You sure?" I asked, still holding his arm to steady him.
"Yea, let's just go to lunch." Odd said, his eyes full of pain and determination.
And do I try to change him?
So hard not to blame him
Hold on tight
Hold on tight
I worried about him, but he seemed determined not to go to the infirmary. He flashed me a painful smile as we sat down at lunch. I knew he wasn't alright, but what could I do? I couldn't exactly make him go to the infirmary. He would have to decide to go himself.
Oh 'cause I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
Odd and I ate with Yumi and Ulrich. Jeremie and I weren't exactly on speaking terms at the moment. Neither was Odd for that matter. I gazed at Odd as he ate, slowly for once. His head must hurt.
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster
Odd was somewhat of a mess these days. His grades were slipping and he refused to go anywhere near the infirmary, despite his increasing clumsiness. I wanted to help him, but I didn't know how. It's hard to help someone when you don't even know what's wrong.
I'm longing for love and the logical
But he's only happy hysterical
I'm waiting for some kind of miracle
Waited so long
So long
Odd smiled at me, the pain disappearing from his face. I smiled back, that's good, his head must have stopped hurting. I started thinking, Odd was closer to me now than he ever had been before. Without Jeremie, it was beginning to get lonely.
He's soft to the touch
But frayed at the end he breaks
He's never enough
And still he's more than I can take
I shook my head; stop it I told myself firmly. But the more I told myself no, the more I wanted it. I couldn't possibly, Odd was supposed to be my cousin.
Oh 'cause I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
Supposed to be, most of the school thought otherwise already though. Ulrich and Yumi seemed to enjoy this. Since they had danced around their feelings for years, they enjoyed taunting us about it as we had once taunted them.
Yumi's hand waving about my face woke me from my thoughts. Shoot, she had caught me at it again.
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster
"Come on," Odd whispered to me, standing up. I stood and followed him out of the cafeteria.
"Where are we going?" I asked, following Odd across the courtyard.
"To the park." Odd replied, "It's quiet there."
I smiled, my heart leapt with joy. It was always good to have time with alone with Odd. Especially now, while everything else was so unstable, I needed someone to help me keep my balance.
He's beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
