Disclaimer: Yeah right.
Author's Note: So it's been awhile since I've posted anything (especially anything for the CL world), and my boyfriend (accidentally) gave me the idea for this ficlet, so I HAD to write it up. Hope you like! (Please don't say anything about the sucky ending. I didn't know how else to end it.)
Obvious
Yumi sighed as she drummed her hands on the steering wheel, letting her car crawl to a stop as she methodically made her way down the familiar street that led to Kadic. It was dark, and her headlights cast only a small beam, making her nervous. But, she didn't let it show.
Ulrich was quiet beside her, staring out his window, lost in thought. The rain pounded the windshield and fell loudly down to the earth. He knew Yumi was nervous from the way her eyes scanned the road. It hadn't rained so hard in a long time, and she'd never had to drive in it.
"Sorry about this Yumi," he muttered. "Thanks for taking me back to Kadic, though."
She nodded. "Don't worry about it Ulrich. It's not like it's out of my way or anything…" Her voice sounded as if she thought otherwise, though. The German boy decided not to push it.
She let the car slowly advance after the stop sign, and she turned slowly onto the next street. Music played in the background, some Japanese rock band Yumi had always loved but Ulrich could never remember the name of, but besides that, all was quiet.
"Ulrich," she said suddenly, breaking the silence. "Tell me something. Anything."
He was taken aback by her sudden words. "Uh…well…it's raining."
She sighed. "I mean something not blatantly obvious."
Ulrich grew quiet again for a few seconds. "Well…there goes every compliment I could give you…"
"Huh?"
"Well, I could say you're beautiful, but that's blatantly obvious."
