Odd felt time stop around him. He had dreamed about this day far too many times to count, but it happening for real? Some days seem to fly by, but this moment seemed to swim through molasses mixed with cement.

Ulrich didn't know what he did. Yes he did, he took action. But how? He didn't know what was going on, the earth stood still. An eternity seemed to pass by before Ulrich felt himself pull back. "uhhh…ummm…uhhh" he couldn't speak. He sensed movement, and before he knew it, Odd has kissed him back. Ulrich could barely gasp out "Odd, what are we doing?" only to receive "I don't know, but it feels so right!" Odd slowly reached one arm around Ulrich's waist, pulling him closer, the other arm around his neck.

The door swung open. "Hey Odd, can I borrow your…OH MY GOD!" Their eyes lock with Aelita's. "I'm…just going to…um…" Aelita stutters and slowly closes the door.

The next day, Odd and Ulrich join Jeremy, and Aelita for Breakfast. Ulrich hands Aelita a folded up slip of paper that reads 'can you keep a secret?' She blushes, looks up at them, and says yes. "What are you talking about?" Jeremy asks, "Oh, it's nothing important" Odd replies. They finish their breakfast in silence.

Later that night, in their dorm, Odd says to Ulrich "We need to talk about this." "Agreed." "I don't know what to do, Ulrich." "Me neither." "I can't stop these feelings I have for you." Ulrich looked at Odd, and he could see that his love was reciprocated. Ulrich spoke next "So, like…um…boyfriends in secret?" Odd laughed a little. "Yeah, I guess."
