POV: Ulrich's POV
I sighed for the fifth time in less than that many minutes.
I was sitting on a bench, watching Jeremy and Aelita dance at the prom. It was actually a funny story on how they went together. It was Aelita's first prom, so she was both nervous and excited. Of course she wanted to go with Jeremy, but was just too shy to ask.
Odd had goaded Jeremy into admitting that he wanted to go to the prom with Aelita, and she had accidently overheard the conversation and immediately accepted.
I found myself grinning as I remembered the spectacle…
"Come on, I know that you want to go with her, why don't you ask?" Odd asked Jeremy. I was on the other side of Odd, listening intently. Jeremy mumbled something incomprehensible. He was already a shade of red I hadn't thought possible of turning. "Ok, at least answer me this," Odd said, "you do want to take Aelita to the prom, right?"
Jeremy shoved his hands in his pockets before looking away and murmuring a yes.
"Really?" asked a familiar soft voice behind me. Jeremy's eyes widened and he stiffened. Odd and I both spun around to find Aelita. Her hands were clasped in front of her, and she was staring intently into Jeremy's eyes. He looked away, embarrassed. "Wow… did you really… just hear all of that?" Jeremy asked sheepishly, scratching the back of his head. They had actually been debating for several minutes to try and convince Jeremy to ask Aelita out. She was walking up to them when she had heard her name and stopped to listen. Until now, my taller and broader body had concealed her small form.
"Yes," Aelita said, walking closer to Jeremy. She was blushing almost as badly as he.
"Ah well, um… what did you think?" Jeremy finally asked after a few seconds of awkward silence. Aelita responded by hugging him. His flushed, surprised, but slightly happy face was visible during the hug, and Odd grinned and gave him two thumbs up. While I couldn't resist a grin and wouldn't be silly like Odd, I wasn't above winking at him. Aelita whispered what must have been a yes in his ear before pulling away. She walked away smiling with her hands in her pockets and still flushed cheeks.
Jeremy just stared after her, smitten.
And that was how they had gotten together.
I stared once more as they danced. Despite his protests, Jeremy was actually pretty good at dancing. Yumi was right; they were good together, despite the fact that their cheeks were redder than a tomato. I couldn't hold back another sigh.
If only I had the courage to ask Yumi to dance. You do. Remember, Jeremy asked Aelita to dance, a little voice in my head told me. If he can do it, I can do it, I told myself.
I looked at Yumi, who was sitting next to me. I had asked her to the prom, but didn't actually ask her to dance yet. She was watching Jeremy and Aelita, and was apparently thinking along the same lines as me.
If he can do it, I can do it. If he can do it, I can do it. If he can do it, I can do it. It was like a recording played over and over in my head. "Hey Yumi, do you want to dance?" I blurted, cringing as I heard how hasty and nervous it was. She looked at me in surprise, and I felt my cheeks taint what at least had to be a dark pink.
"I'd love to," she responded, blushing almost as badly as me.
I stood up and grabbed her hand, gently pulling her up with me. As we went to the dance floor I panicked, realizing I didn't know how to dance. Nonetheless, I slipped my arm around her waist and another on her shoulder. She put both of her hands on my shoulders, which looked kind of weird since she was at least a head taller than me.
To my relief, we sort of swayed to the music instead of really dancing. My stomach churned with nervousness; my heart pounded wildly against my chest. I hoped Yumi couldn't hear it.
Right now, I was pretty sure we looked as red as Jeremy and Aelita.
"This is nice," Yumi finally murmured, breaking the silence. "Yeah," I breathed. We swayed for a few more moments. As if on cue, we suddenly leaned in, our lips meeting. My eyes widened.
It was so… so…. There were so many sensations; the only way to describe it was absolutely amazing. After a few seconds we pulled away with flushed cheeks and smiles on our faces. Wow! I thought, breaking eye contact.
Yes, that was the one way to describe the kiss.
Wow.
-Gasp- she wrote YxU! Yes, yes, I did. Sorry if it wasn't as good, I'm not really used to writing it. Anyway, some people wanted some YxU, so I gave it to them. Happy? :) But! Stay tuned, next one will be YxU also. No no, Jerlita lovers, don't complain. You know I like Jerlita better, so don't worry, they'll be more of each. Until next time! ~Adventurer411 was here~
