Midnight Moon
Ulrich sat on Aelita's bed as he waited for her to get out of the shower. He had been invited over after she finished crying. Though he refused at first he obeyed when she almost went to tears again. He smiled remembering how happy she was as she showed him the way to her apartment. He looked around her small magenta apartment as he listened to her sing in the shower, "I'll be out in a bit!" she shouted as he herd the water knobs turn. He laughed silently 'I always knew she'd end up with a pretty pink apartment.' he couldn't help but think to himself then looking at her closet filled with dark clothing added 'maybe not so pink' and remembered how he got here.
Ulrich had just gotten off the plane from Japan when he herd people talking about an amazing DJ at a popular club called "The Hook" debating if her hair was naturally pink. He quickly asked for directions to the club and found himself running hoping this DJ was who he thought she could be, 'How many pink haired girls in the world could there be?' he remembered thinking………..l;
"Sir, the clubs closed go home." a man told him and crossed his arm in a defensive way when he found the club. He however refused to leave and instead leaned against the side off the building ignoring the man who was eyeing him threateningly. "Excuse me, I said to go home, go on get off our property!"
"Is there a pink haired DJ in there?" Ulrich simply questioned looking at the bouncer with pleading eyes.
"Yes, what do you want with her?" Earl questioned him as if in a interrogation.
"I want to talk to her."
"Well come back tomorrow."
"No, I want to talk to her now." with that Ulrich looked at the sidewalk and waited as Earl looked at him and went into the club, hopefully to retrieve the DJ.
He hadn't stopped smiling since the bouncer told him there was indeed a pink haired DJ now he only hoped it was Aelita. He remembered seeing a woman, probably only five and a half feet tall, walk out of the club gracefully and looked around with curiosity. Her black hoodie had pink striped sleeves and pink angel wings on her back. Her hair was indeed the strawberry pink he remembered from years ago.
"Earl, there isn't anyone here." her gentle voice sounded disappointed turning around. Her green eyes opened wide and her mouth dropped slightly when she noticed him up against the club.
"Sup Aelita?" He had said while pushing off the wall and begun walking toward her. The way she had been looking at him made him feel guilty for leaving without contacting her. As tear escaped her lonely eyes, he wiped it away saying sorrowfully "There's no need to cry…" though she started to cry anyways. Wrapping his arms around her he tried to comfort her by combing his hands through her hair and silently saying "Shhhh, there's no need to cry" though he doubted she could hear him over her whimpers. Aelita's tears started to slow and she looked up at him.
"Oh Ulrich!" She whispered and began crying again with her arms around his waist holding on for dear life. He hadn't minded holding her, it had been so long since he has seen her, since he had seen anyone he knew. A tear had escaped his own eyes as well but she would never know for she was to busy dealing with her own. They shared the same lonely pain of being alone for so long.
The sound of the bathroom door opening had brought him back to present time. He looked over and saw Aelita sticking her head out, her face slightly flushed while holding a white fluffy towel over her chest. "Uh, Ulrich…" she said shyly "could you um, close your eyes?"
"Uh. Yea. Sure. Of course!" He said closing his eyes. He herd her walk across the floor to the other side of the room, probably to her dresser.
"I'm sorry, I'm just not use to having company. I forgot to grab an outfit before taking a shower." she said and he couldn't help but imagining her face turning even redder.
"It's fine, don't worry about it, I wont peak." but just then Aelita had tripped over her own feet and banged her head off her dresser. His eyes opened at the sudden sound and noticed she was on the floor. He quickly got up and ran to her side forgetting she was wearing nothing but a towel, "Aelita are you okay?" he said worryingly as he pulled her shoulder to look at her face when her towel untangled itself and slide off her revealing her pale body. Both of their eyes went wide, and both were to shocked to even move. However Ulrich's eyes couldn't help but observe her pale underdeveloped body. She had slightly toned abbes that he didn't remember seeing when she was in her hoodie, and her breasts were perky and small, most likely no larger then an A cup, but her hips were curvy. The way she was laying made her back arch slightly and her lips looked slightly bigger due to her pouting trying not to cry.
He quickly closed his eyes hoping she didn't notice him checking her out and stumbled backwards. "Aelita I'm so, so, SO sorry!!! I didn't mean for that to happen! I swear I'm so sorry!!" He said putting his hands over his eyes shaking his head trying to get the image of her in such a revealing pose. He stopped moving when he felt small warm hands over. She pulled his hands away from his eyes and he looked up at her with his chocolate brown eyes right into her grassy green ones. While he had been apologizing she must've been able to her pajamas which consisted of a black tank top and baggy pink pajama bottoms that must've been only held up by her hips, he could jus see her black panties over them.
"It's fine, you were worried, come on get up! Stop acting like you've never seen a naked girl before." She said getting off the floor secretly hoping he really hasn't though she knew he probably had. Ulrich could tell that she was only trying to play it off like she didn't care, but her red face and cautious movements told him otherwise.
"Look, I'm still sorry.. I'll make it up to you! I'll cook dinner!" He said standing up looking at her sarcastic smile "What!!! I can cook!" he protested and took out his blue cell phone, dialed a number and went into the bathroom closing the door behind him.
Curiosity got the best of Aelita and she pressed her ear against the door trying to listen to what the phone conversation was about but gave up after only being able to hear mumbles. She sat on her bed and picked up her dairy and pen and began writing a new entry when Ulrich came out of the bathroom and headed toward the door. "I'll be right back! Don't move!!" He said waving. Aelita looked up solemnly not wanting him to leave but was to focused in her dairy to stop him.
"Promise…"
"With my life." And with that he left.
