First time writing a lemon. Going to be a one-shot that's cut into parts, but might expand it if it gets enough attention.
Chapter 1
Unknown to most of the members of the Lyoko Warriors, two of them have made a weekly bet. Their wager? Let's find out.
"That makes twelve for me, anyone top that?"
"I got ten," Aelita replied to the samurai of the group. "Yumi?"
"Oh? Not many," The geisha started smugly, "only fifteen. Odd? How many of XANA's monsters did you wipe out this week?"
"Two," Odd muttered.
Yumi chuckled as she walked behind the svelt blonde, "That's all? What's going, what's your problem?" She said, riling him up a bit. This started a small argument between the two taller members of the group, with Odd complaining about how he has the least powers given to him in Lyoko.
While Yumi was consoling the glooming blonde, the other two members conversed in lowered voices.
"I win," Ulrich whispered in triumph to the strawberry haired girl.
"You made that clear quite clear with that wink earlier." Aelita giggled. He knew he would have the higher kill count this week. "That was pretty bold of you, you know. If Jeremie could see everything we do in Lyoko, who knows how he would react to that. So, how do you want it?"
Showing his boldness again, the brunette male wrapped an arm around her. His hand almost below her left breast, fondling it a bit. Aelita's face heats up as her eyes darted towards Odd and Yumi. Luckily, the latter was still consoling the former.
"Ulrich..." She tried to urge him to calm down for the moment, but her voice was lost when she felt his hand moved down and lifted her skirt from the back, pinching her ass cheek that was covered by her panties. Her mouth opened wide in the shape of an 'O', almost letting out a high-pitched 'eep' but managed to keep it down from being a loud shriek to a quiet eep. She was frozen solid that she could feel her heart racing.
Ulrich smiled a bit as he took in her scent from being this close to her. One might call it a cliche, but for a girl loves wearing pink, she smells like cherries. He is not one to judge, other than to say it suits her just fine.
"After gym class, wait for me in the girl's locker room."
After that, he unhooked from her before heading towards the elevator; walking past the two other members. Aelita stood where she was for a moment with the same shocked expression. Her mouth closed before morphing to a smile of her own.
"You're getting a bit bold, Ulrich," She claimed in a soft whisper, but said it more to her self. "And I like it." She joined Ulrich in the elevator.
"You say something, Aelita?" Questioned Yumi once she and Odd entered the elevator.
"Oh, nothing."
What luck. Odd was still being gloomy, he chose to have a lonely lunch period to himself, picking a table that was far away from the Lyoko Warrior's usual table, and void of anyone but himself. Yumi had to personally send her own brother home when he suddenly fell sick during class. And Jeremie? All he told the group was that he was working on a program that he will soon share once it was finished.
"Want my croissant?" Ulrich offered his share of the flaky roll to Aelita, who sat across from him. She had just finished her own share after dipping it in her cup of hot chocolate.
"Don't you need the energy for later?" She questioned with a smile. "We have gym class after this. Although, I'll take your hot chocolate." Her hand pointed at the beverage in question before reaching.
Ulrich let her take it. The girl was crazy about the hot drink, she could not get enough it. He chuckled as he watches her gulp it down; it was like watching a squirrel eating a nut.
"Who said I'll need the energy?" He asked as she drank from his cup of hot cocoa, a cup that he took a sip from before offering his croissant. Aelita's eyes were closed as she savored the heavenly, sweet, hot liquid(1) that lasted too short for her liking. She enjoyed drinking hot chocolate while it was still freshly hot, enough so that she was not easily burned by it after enjoying so much of it.
Once she gulped it all down, she let out a big sigh of relief. The pink-haired girl had a big smile on her face.
"Ulrich-dear is right," Sissi started with her goons by her sides. "I'm mean, just look at her, she hardly looks like she could handle a lap." Nicholas and Herb laughed at her joke. While she was marveling in her small victory, she did not notice Ulrich's frown.
And her smile was gone, but Aelita would not let the principal's daughter see that. She turned her head away from the mean girl.
"Well at least in my condition, I'm not ten pounds overweight."
That was enough to enrage the long-haired girl. To add insult to injury, she heard Ulrich sneaker at the comeback. To add further insult to injury, Aelita said that louder than usual, which got the attention of nearby classmates, getting laughs from them. Holding in her anger, she stormed out of the lunchroom with Nicholas and Herb following her, with the latter being vocal to help console her bruised ego.
"That was hitting below the belt," Ulrich commented. "Did you have to mention her weight? I thought girls don't like being talked to about her weight."
Sure they used that same joke after XANA possessed Yolanda during a physical check-up, but that was only to get Sissi off their backs to avoid any suspicion.
Aelita took a moment to gather herself. "She was really annoying today." That was her excuse. Especially since this was a rare moment for her. It was just her and Ulrich sharing a table. It was quite nice.
Ulrich stood up, "I'll go ask for Jeremy's share of hot chocolate from Rosa; he won't be drinking it, so why waste it?"
"Let's share it," Aelita offered excitedly as she watches him walk up to the lunch lady. Once he came back, he poured roughly half of it in each of their cups. "Cheers."
They carefully tapped their cups together.
After taking a small sip and waiting for Aelita to finish up hers, Ulrich brought up a question.
"So what do you think about Odd's little spazz?" He asked as he took a glance of said person,
"Can you blame him? He's having a bit of a bad luck streak lately." Aelita replied.
"Bad luck? That's not good." Ulrich commented, being superstitious himself. "Makes me wonder though, couldn't Jeremie give us new powers on Lyoko? I mean, he did make our vehicles. And it could make fighting XANA a whole lot easier."
"It's more complicated than that, Ulrich." She insisted. "As good as a programmer he is, Jeremie is not ready with making modifications to our avatars. Plus, we might not even have enough time for ourselves if we had to practice new powers. I still need to work on my aim with my energy fields."
Ulrich nodded, "Speaking of our powers, and Odd mentioned this days ago, but did you ever wonder what it would be like if we had ours on Earth."
The pinkette giggled at the possibility, "Oh, it would certainly be interesting, to say the least. I don't know what I would do with my energy field other than when you-know-what rears his ugly head, but my creativity would be very useful."
"Yeah, you could just create anything out of thin air." He surmised, thinking up an everyday use of said power. "Missing a pencil? Do that praying-thing of yours, and you can just make one."
Aelita laughed along with him before offering her own thoughts on his powers, "As much fun that would be, your super sprint would be useful when you're pressed for time."
She never mentioned it, but she envied Ulrich's speed on Lyoko. She would gladly trade it for one or both of her powers. It would be a lot easier on avoiding XANA's monsters, she believed. She's used to running around Lyoko a lot, so getting a speed boost would be nice.
"As fast I can be with my super sprint, I can't be in places at the same time." Ulrich countered. "My triplicate on the other hand? Now that will be fun. Just think of all the things I can do with that."
Aelita giggle before a thought came to mind. She gave him a sly smirk with half-lid eyes, "I can think of a few things."
Ulrich returned the smirk, "I knew you'd catch on."
They would have continued, but they were once again interrupted. Not by Sissi, but a couple of female freshmen who are almost as worst. One was holding a video camera, already recording. The other was holding a pencil and a small notepad
"Ulrich, Aelita!" Milly spoke up, gaining their attention. She ignored their groans. "Mind answering a few questions? Is it true you two are in a secret relationship?" At least she asked that question only loud enough for them to hear. Although, that is only because she wants to cover this potential true story on the Kadic News before anyone else hears about it.
The young man scoff, "Just because the others are gone during lunch, it doesn't mean Aelita and I are suddenly dating." He told the truth(2). He stood up and picked up his empty tray, "And that's all you're getting out of me. Come on, Aelita, we don't want to be late for gym class."
Aelita nodded and followed his lead, leaving the two grumbling girls behind.
She gave them a parting thought, "Don't start any rumors, you two."
(3)
Aelita was now regretting not taking Ulrich's croissant. Jim was being a slave driver today, having everyone do a mile run, push-ups (which she has hardly any upper body strength to do any), and some other that left her out of breath. Right now, she was shitting on a bench in the girl's locker room. The other girls were being quick to change out their sweaty gym clothes. The pinkette sat far from the rest in an empty section of the locker room, and luckily for her, the rest of the girls did not notice her unusual behavior for they were too busy changing so they can be done with the day. She, herself, did not change out of her gym clothes; she did not want to dirty her casual clothes.
She took the time waiting by resting her aching muscles. She lied down on the bench, where the pinkette would have fallen asleep if it were not for the conversing girls, whose voices echoed in throughout the room. Also, while she lied there, she felt uncomfortable in her soiled gym clothes, which clings to her sweaty skin.
Aelita grumbled under her breath, "This better be worth it, Ulrich."
She started the hear the volume in the locker room lower down as she heard some of them leave. It took a while before she was finally alone; she heard the door closed, which echoed loudly as the last student out the door, let it close on its own. Once it came down, it was completely quiet.
It was not until a long moment later to hear the metal door opening again.
"Aelita?" A familiar voice echoed a bit.
Hearing her name, she responded. "Over here," she called out, but she stayed lying down on the bench.
Ulrich came walking around a row of lockers, which she used to hide behind. "Hope I didn't keep you waiting." Once she in his view, he was treated to the sight of her lying down with tired eyes, with a hint of longing, staring back at him. He did not know if she was being a tease or she was that tired.
"Yeah, you did." She said with a small irritated tone as she tried to sit up, but once she was on her feet, Ulrich bent down, wrapped one arm around her legs, and started to effortlessly carry her over his shoulder. "Hey!"
1: Did not intend for this sentence to be an innuendo, it was just to show how much she likes hot chocolate since it was mentioned at least once in the show.
2: Just because they are fucking behind everyone's back, that does not mean they are dating. They are more like in a secret friend with benefits relationship.
3: Long lunchroom scene, I know. It's been a while since I wrote a story in a while that I couldn't help myself. I also could not help make references to the show itself of episodes that occur later in the series. Plus, these two don't have much interaction in the show, so I made this to remedy that little situation for my case
Next chapter, it's where things actually start to get steamy
