Well 3 reviews isn't bad for a first, but the first chapter was a test to see if anyone was interested in the idea. These chapters aren't going to be as long as expected, sorry but if I write a lot I may tend to make a lot of errors, making the reading more unfavorable. Updates might also be fairly slow so please bear with me. My next goal is at least 8 reviews!

Trixter93: I made her younger to fit the situation in my world. Its based off of what I have done so I need to adjust the age a little to make it satisfy both worlds. Plus Ulrich is only older in months.

Animeaddict2323232: Thanks a lot at this stage right now its nice knowing that people like my beginning.

PeaceToThePeople: Yes! I hate him too. Plus in my situation I really don't like this guy either. I'm glad that you think its good, I will try

angelicshadowhunter: Well beta would be nice but I want everyone to see the chapter at the same time. But any positive input from you is a good thing. As long as its not bad its good.

Chapter 2: Realization?

After that first night it became a routine, she would call and he would pick up. Every time she called he would answer, regardless of what he was doing. Everyone started to notice his strange behavior but had no idea what the cause was. Everyone except Odd of course, being kept up at night en extra fifteen minutes for the past two nights caused him to become more curious. If he concentrated enough he could actually hear Yumi's voice over the phone. He could actually understand full parts of their conversations. He told himself, 'Just friends? Ya right!" They were much too close to be friends. He decided to break this to Ulrich tomorrow, boy was he in for a surprise.

The next morning while Ulrich and Odd were out playing tennis. (Yes I put tennis courts in Kadic and yes I decided to have everyone play tennis.) After two exhausting matches they decided to just hit around. Then Odd decided to bring the subject up, just to see his roommate's reaction.

"So Ulrich good buddy, I've noticed that you have been on the phone a lot lately." he said as he started their rally. giving Ulrich a weak cross court shot.

"Yeah, important stuff comes up, but why do you ask?" he replied lazily returning it with a lob.

"Its pretty damn obvious, every time your phone rings you drop whatever you are doing to check it" after hearing this Ulrich was about retort but he was cut off, "PLUS you walk off to talk for just fifteen minutes, it doesn't seem like its worth the time." this comment caused Ulrich to falter. Odd saw his chance and smashed the ball between Ulrich's legs.

Ulrich was completely taken back by Odd's remark. He didn't even notice the mark near his feet. "How do you know everything that I have been doing?!" he shouted in a startled voice. "Plus I said it was something important, so I have dedicate that small amount of time. Its not like fifteen minutes is a big deal." he was trying to sound uninterested so Odd would drop the subject. But Odd of course, knew the truth and decided to hit him with it.

"Would this 'important' matter have something to do with a certain girl we know?" Ulrich stayed completely silent. This only confirmed Odds accusation. "Would this certain girl happen to be in Florida? Does she have long black hair? Does she play tennis? Does she..."

"ALRIGHT, shut up before someone hears you!" he then sat down on the bench trying to calm himself. After gathering his thoughts and checking that they were out of earshot he asked, "So how do you know?" he said in a hushed voice.

"Well Ulrich good buddy, you talking on the phone every night has brought me to this conclusion. Especially the most recent one, last night" as he said this he was patting Ulrich on the back. "Do you remember what happened that night?"

"Of course I do..." he started to trail off because he was recalling the events from the previous night.

Flashback

The night before at 11:30 PM

"So did you let him know?" he asked on the third day. He wasn't trying to pry but he was just curious if his suggestion worked.

"Well kinda, I told him but he really didn't take it that well, he acted like I hated him or something, its getting really annoying" she sounded exhausted. All of this was taking it toll on her, everything was building up day after day. She was the only one stressing while William thought everything was fine. Thats probably what frustrated her the most. She was doing all the work in this "relationship" if thats what you want to call it.

"I guess you just have to give it time, I know I said this before but it's not something that can happen over night, it just needs time." for the past couple nights he had to repeat information continously. It sounds repetitive, but in Yumi's current mental state she would not be able to retain all this information. She was always stressed and panicked that she couldn't think straight. Every night he had to move her in the right direction again. He didn't want her breaking up because of a simple lack of communication.

"You know what Ulrich?" she said with a slightly happier tone. Of course he expected a simple "thank you" or "that helped" but he got an answer that he didn't expect. "I've missed you so much." He was completely speechless. Luckily for him the room was extremely dark because he was blushing a dark shade of red.

"I-I've missed you too." mentally he was kicking himself for stuttering.

"Its just not the same without you," she said as she blushed on the other line. "I don't have that secure feeling of you always being there for me, I feel so alone sometimes."

"Th-Thanks, it's nice to know that I'm useful, I just really wish I could be there for you, being so far away make me feel so helpless."

"Talking to me every night is more then anyone has done for me, it may seem like nothing to you but its everything to me..." she stopped and realized what she had just said. Is talking to Ulrich really that important to her?

Right after Yumi's surprising remark Ulrich thought he heard something coming from Odd's side of the room. He glanced around but everything seemed in place. 'I guess I was just imagining things.'

"Hey its been a little over fifteen minutes, we should probably go. I don't want your phone bill to rack up." he said half heartedly. He really didn't want to stop talking to her, but it was for the best.

"Aww, well then I guess I'll talk to you tomorrow?" she sounded so hopeful.

"Of course, bye, good night and sweet dreams."

"Sweet dreams." with that their call ended. Talking to her always made him feel better. He wanted to tell her how important she was to him but that would interfere with her current relationship. He concluded it best to just leave it as is. Telling her this would cause her so much extra stress, what kind of guardian would he be? He fully accepted the fact that she will never be his, thats what his brain was telling him, but his heart was telling him otherwise. Once it started beating her name again it never stopped, he urned for her, he needed her. Yet he knew that it was wrong, logically it was the worse possible choice but he still took it.

"Could it be love?" he silently asked himself, unaware of his fully awake roommate.

Looking at the clock he realized that these questions could wait another day. He had to get some sleep or else they might not be a next time. He had a test in Mrs. Hurtz's class and he couldn't afford to bomb that one.

End Flashback

"It's written all over your face man, you like her" this snapped Ulrich out of his dream like trance.

"We are just friends, Yumi and I can nev..." he was completely cut off.

"Bullshit, you even asked yourself if you loved her. So she is not JUST a FRIEND." he emphasized those two words. Ulrich knew that he was telling the truth, he does seem Yumi as more then a friend. But being her guardian would mean that his feelings cannot interfere with her life. He wouldn't tell Odd about his self-given title as her guardian. He will be the unspoken hero that she will never know of.

"Alright, maybe I do like her but she is happy with William right now, I don't want her life to be unhappy just because of some stupid feelings that I developed." with that he left the courts without another word.

"Developed? Haha they were never developed, you always had them buddy." Odd said to Ulrich's retreating figure.

Alright well here is the update, I also tried fixing some simple problems in the first chapter! Thanks for reviewing eveyrone!
