Author's Note: As stated in other fic, RenaYumi is grounded and can't use the computer for a week.
It was a warm night, the heat pressing down almost oppressively. Heat lightening flared across the sky and thunder rumbled somewhere on the other side of the castle. Yumi sat up in bed, looking out the window. She was to hot to sleep, Aelita on the other hand was sound asleep. Elizabeth, who decided on staying the night, was stretched out on the sofa, mumbling in her sleep.
Just a quick walk, she decided. She grabbed her key, and walked out into the hall. It was quiet and she sighed, heading down the corridor. Here and there a dim light showed under a door, but most was quiet. Finally she got to the end and opened the french doors, walking out onto the small balcony. Wind played with her hair and danced cool fingers over her skin.
"Couldn't sleep either?"
She jumped turning and then relaxed when she saw Ulrich. "No, I guess I couldn't. It's to hot," she said. He nodded, leaning against the wall and iron railing. "How long you been out here?"
"About an hour," he answered. He turned, looking at the gardens below and sighed. "Should probably head back..."
"Wait. Stay with me for a little while," she said. He smiled.
"Sure." She walked over to him and he wrapped an arm around her waist as she leaned her head on his shoulder. "About tonight..."
"Yeah, about that. I didn't know you knew that song," she said, looking at him pointedly.
"I didn't know you knew it either," he retaliated. She sighed, shaking her head.
"Yeah, I know it. I love that song," she replied. "And you were cute...when you sang it," she added, thanking the night for being dark so her blush was hidden.
"Uh...thanks?" he replied. "I think we startled them," he added.
"Definitely my dad was surprised," she agreed. They fell silent for awhile and then he pulled back a little, looking at her. "What?" she asked curiously.
"I, uh, got you something," he told her. She looked at him curiously as he pulled out a box from his pocket. "I hope you like it." She opened it, looking at him surprised when she came across a velvet jewelry box. "Go on, open it," he said.
She opened the lid and gasped. "Ulrich...it's...it's beautiful..." she whispered. Inside was a star sapphire ring. The band was silver with heart shaped diamonds in the band, a chain linked through it. She looked up at him, smiling. "My God...How much did it cost?"
"Trust me, it was worth it," he answered. She smiled at him and he lifted the ring out. "I don't know if you can see it, but there's an inscription inside," he explained, turning it so she could see it. To My Angel, Love Ulrich was etched in neat letters on the inside of the band. She grinned, hugging him tightly.
"Thank you, I'll bug about the price later," she said, kissing him. He kissed her back, clasping the chain around her neck. "I really love it."
"Good." He pulled her back, kissing her, gently sliding his tongue into her mouth. She moaned, leaning against him, her eyes drifting closed. At that moment there was a crack of thunder and lightening flared across the sky. Rain poured down in sheets and they dashed back inside, laughing. "I think nature's telling us something," he said.
"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow morning," she told him. He walked her to her door, kissing her gently.
"Goodnight my angel," he whispered. She blushed and went inside as he went into his room.
Author's Note: I think I'm indebted to RenaYumi forever. All my Peeps shall be hers! Anyway, thanks a lot. To everyone else, I'm really appreciating the support your giving me. Please review!
