Well... here we go again. I hadn't actually intended to update this, but it kind of happened anyways. So, here's the third installment of To Fall Back Asleep.

We've seen Yumi, then Ulrich. Now guess what, we seem to have another player here.

(Odd P.O.V.)

It was actually fairly simple. An 'accidental' nudge towards Ulrich and a murmured 'sorry.' That's all it took, and Yumi was down on the couch next to Ulrich. Yumi glares at me, probably realizing it would be extremely rude to get up and move away from him. I just smile and take my spot at the other end of the couch, preparing to watch the whole scene unfold.

My mission, as soon as I walked in the house earlier, was to get Ulrich and Yumi together. They've been doing the whole 'I like her, but I don't think she likes me back' thing for way too long and I've taken it upon myself to stop it. I promised myself that by tomorrow, Ulrich and Yumi would be a couple. No matter what. I have no reservations about resorting to dirty tricks either.

I put on the movie and switched off the lights. We sat watching the movie, and I kept stealing glances at them. Absolutely nothing was happening, no chemistry or anything. But I watched with renewed interest when Yumi's head began to drop slowly in my direction. I carefully nudged her with my foot, and murmured my apology again.

Yumi glares at me and rearranges her position so she's further away from me, leaning towards Ulrich. What surprised me the most was Ulrich's reaction. Yumi was leaning up against him, and he put his arm around her.

As the movie progresses some more, she begins to drift off again.

I roar in silent triumph when her head touches his shoulder. I notice Ulrich looking at me and he gestures to behind me. I look behind me, and see Jeremie and Aelita have fallen asleep in each other's arms in the chair. I turn around and smile, pointing at Yumi.

Ulrich's face twists into pure shock, and I have to restrain myself from laughing even more when I see him blush deeply.

Near the end of the movie, I realize Ulrich isn't going to do anything while I'm awake. So I lean back and close my eyes, pretending to have dozed off. I actually did, for about half an hour. When I woke back up, I realized that I was the only one awake. Ulrich and Yumi had both dozed off, so had Jeremie and Aelita.

Ulrich and Yumi are in a precarious position. Ulrich is lying about halfway off the couch, looking comfortable. Yumi is nearly fully on the couch, and her head is directly on top of his chest, rising with each of his breaths.

I notice that the TV had turned off, it probably has a auto-shutoff. I carefully get up and switch it back on.

One thing I remember about Ulrich is that he hates to leave things running. He never leaves the computer on when he's done; he always turns off his alarm clock on the first ring, never hitting the snooze. He always makes sure the TV is turned off when we're finished.

I get back on the couch and lay back, waiting to see if Ulrich would wake up to turn it off. If he did, he would most likely wake up Yumi, producing interesting results. After about fifteen minutes, neither of them have stirred.

I decide to intervene.

I creep over slowly and look at them, deciding what would be the easiest way to wake them up slowly. I carefully brush one of Yumi's hairs off of her forehead, tucking it behind her ear.

Bingo.

Yumi immediately stirs, her eyelids beginning to flutter open. I quickly get back on the couch, but I don't have enough time to get comfortable. I lay there, about half on the couch when I notice Yumi's eyes open and look at me.

I close my eyes, but sleep got the better of me. I tried to stay awake, I really did. But sleep got the better of me. I was too tired, and when I closed my eyes I couldn't help but doze off.

I jolt awake early in the morning, finally realizing I had drifted off. I look at the clock and see that it's about 5:45 AM. Glancing over, I see what Yumi and Ulrich had ended up in. I really do laugh out loud, but quietly.

Yumi is lying fully on the couch, looking extremely comfortable using Ulrich as a pillow. She has her arms around his waist, pulling him close to her. Ulrich has his arms around her as well, he looks content.

Never being the one to sit and wait, I nudge Yumi again. I close my eyes, just before I hear a soft thump. I peek one eye open to see Yumi has slid off the couch and onto the floor. Ulrich has jolted awake as well, and they're staring at each other. I close my eyes again so I'm not noticed.

"H-hey Yumi…" Ulrich says nervously. I hear the sounds of Yumi standing up off the ground, and then the couch indents slightly. She sat back down.

"Hey Ulrich…" She replies carefully.

"Let's uh… not tell anyone about this, okay?" Ulrich asks. I can tell he's blushing just by the tone of his voice.

"Oh… okay." Yumi says, and my heart falls into my stomach. I didn't make it, I failed.

"W-were you comfortable?" Ulrich asks quietly.

"Uh… yah." She replies just as quiet.

"So… do you think we should wake up the others?"

"I-I don't think so."

"Good thinking… Odd would… you know." I smile to myself as I hear Ulrich say this.

"Yah… he would."

"He's uh… he's right you know…" Ulrich says, almost so soft that I can't hear him.

"W-what was that?"

"Well… I-I… I…" I feel so sorry for Ulrich right now… actually no. Not really.

Just spit it out already!

"You…" Yumi says, almost a question.

"I…Well I…" He begins again.

Ulrich you're killing me here!

Complete silence follows, neither of them speaking. It's driving me insane. Finally, I crack one eye open, jolted by the surprise image I find. Ulrich and Yumi are liplocked.

Mission: Accomplished.

Yup, this is the end. Sorry, but there will be no other chapters coming, this is really the end.

Thanks for everyone who reviewed, it means a lot to me. This is easily my most popular story, even though it's my shortest chaptered story.

So, see you guys later, you're awesome!
