Hey everyone, sorry it's been a while. I had some surgery so I was kinda out of commission but I'm back.

Enjoy!

--------------------------------------------------------------

Ulrich tentatively took a step out of his bed. With Yumi and Odd at his side, they cautiously led Ulrich outside his hospital room. After recovering from a cracked skull, they were finally letting Ulrich out of the hospital.

After three days of staying off his feet, Ulrich would finally get to go back to Kadic.

The doctors gave him a choice, of a wheelchair or walking. Ulrich didn't want to burden his friends, so he chose to walk.

"Ehh.!" Ulrich grunted, his left leg giving away. Odd and Yumi caught him, making sure his face didn't connect with the ground.

"Thanks guys." Ulrich said sheepishly.

"Yea well, I sure as hell hope we don't have to haul your ass around like this all day." Odd teased.

Yumi chuckled, while Ulrich gave Odd some rude hand gestures.

But Odd could still see the grin on his face.

It's good to have him back, Odd thought, leading Ulrich through the automatic doors into the parking lot.

------------------------------------------------------

Jeremie finished picking up the last piece of trash around the school.

"Why the hell am I doing this again?" he muttered to himself.

"Oh yea, that's right. I get in trouble for saving Ulrich. Real fair." Jeremie said smartly, answering his own question.

Jeremie had gotten the same amount of community service and detention as William because Jeremie knocked him out cold and no one could tell if Jeremie hit Ulrich with a shovel or if he saved him.

Jeremie finally skewered his last piece of trash and as he was putting it in his trash bag he saw Yumi, Odd, and Ulrich gingerly walking into Kadic.

Jeremie couldn't help but smile.

------------------------------------------------------

William slammed down his pencil in frustration.

I shouldn't be wasting my time doing this! William thought as he shoved the last of his homework into his backpack.

But it wasn't just his tough homework bothering him.

William hadn't talked to Yumi for a couple days, due too what he did to Ulrich and that she was by his side at the hospital all day.

William lay down on his bed.

He needed to get Yumi back. They weren't technically going out, since Yumi hadn't dumped him yet, but he was sure she would.

William sighed. Maybe he should just let her be.

She was happy with Ulrich, and he knew it.

Maybe...

---------------------------------------------------------

Ulrich sit at his desk, flipping through the pages of his literature book. He had a lot of homework to make up.

He only paused when he heard a light rap on the door.

It couldn't have been Odd, since he was out with some girl and he would have just came in.

Ulrich decided he could take a break, considering he had been doing homework since he got back.

He opened the door to see Jeremie standing there.

Jeremie looked up at Ulrich.

Both boys held each others gaze until Jeremie broke it by looking down at his shoes.

"Um, hey. It's great to see your back."

Ulrich nodded.

"C'mon in."

Jeremie followed Ulrich in. He couldn't help but notice the pain Ulrich was in when he moved.

"So how are you feeling?" Jeremie said lightly.

"I'm doing good," Ulrich lied.

"But this homework is hell."

Jeremie grinned. Same old Ulrich.

"Well I just wanted to say "hi" so I better get going." Jeremie said.

Ulrich nodded opening the door for him.

"If there's anything you want me to do, if you need any help, don't hesitate to ask." Jeremie said, standing in the doorway.

"I'll try not to bother you." Ulrich replied.

Then they both just stood there.

Jeremie was about to leave until Ulrich pulled him into a hug.

"Thanks man." Ulrich said softly.

"Hey," Jeremie spoke.

"That's what friends do."

Ulrich let him go then nodded.

Then he shut his door and headed back to his homework.

----------------------------------------------------------

Ulrich looked at his clock.

It flashed 8:46.

It had been an hour since Jeremie stopped by when Ulrich heard another knock on his door.

Again, Ulrich wondered who was at his door.

He was surprised to see Yumi standing there.

"Wanna' take a walk?"

--------------------------------------------------------

"And so you guys are friends again, right?" Yumi asked, after listening to what happened with Ulrich and Jeremie.

"Yep, I think so. It's good to not have a lot of people pissed at me." Ulrich replied.

"I bet it is, considering your about as lethal right now as a dying squirrel."

Ulrich couldn't help but utter a laugh.

"Yea well, I bet I could still take you on." Ulrich said, playfully punching her in the arm.

"Ha, not with your dead legs." Yumi grinned.

Ulrich smiled. They kept walking, moving farther into the forest. It was dark out, getting darker every minute.

"So when do you have to be home?" Ulrich asked, figuring it was about nine.

"My parents said about 9:30. You wouldn't believe how much more sympathy my dad has for you now. As for my mom, she still pretty much loves you." Yumi answered.

Ulrich smirked. Its good to have the parents of the girl you love liking you.

Both continued walking in silence, in Ulrich's case hobbling. His left leg was as stiff as ever.

Ulrich was about to escort Yumi out of the forest when his foot caught a root.

It was a magnificent moment.

Ulrich stumbled a little, falling on Yumi.

This caught Yumi of-guard, sending them both toppling to the ground.

They ended up in a very akward position.

Ulrich was on top of Yumi, there faces inches apart. His left arm was pinned behind her back and his right arm was right above Yumi's head, keeping him from moving any farther down.

Both of Yumi's hands were around Ulrich.

One was around his neck while the other was around his back.

Ulrich was stuck. His right hand was throbbing with pain, probably because he was putting all his weight on it.

Yumi was breathing heavily, looking into Ulrich's eyes. She was stuck too.

They both lay there, hearts beating a million times a minute.

Ulrich's hand was turning a dark shade of red. He couldn't hold up much longer.

His hand finally gave way and Ulrich face landed just a few inches above Yumi's breast.

Yumi gasped, not expecting that to happen.

Ulrich looked up slowly, his face red.

"S-Sorry," he said, trying to move up.

Yumi took a bold move.

"Don't be." she said, before pulling her and Ulrich's lips together.

She gently pressed her tongue against his teeth, which Ulrich let in to meet his.

I hope this moment never ends, Yumi thought, as she locked her arms around Ulrich's neck.

Ever.

--------------------------------------------

Yayy, I bet everyone wanted that. So please review and happy Easter!

Until next time,

Later!
