Walking Home

"So guys, I gotta go…"

Yumi said walking out of the factory. Jeremie have called them to show some new programs he made.

"Yumi, wait!"

Ulrich yelled and entered in the elevator with her before the doors close. Yumi asked smiling

"What happened, Ulrich?"

"C-can I walk you home? Y-you know, it's dangerous a girl walk alone in the middle of the night…"

He went on, stuttering, rubbing his neck and looking away a little red

"Ok, what a boy, shorter than me could do?"

"Hey, I'm taller than you, now!"

"I'm just kidding, relax… it's a good idea, I don't really like to go alone…"

She said stepping out of the elevator that stopped in the floor that she wanted. He stepped out too, following her…

They talked in the way about everything, but they arrive too soon…

"So… here we are…"

Ulrich said

"Thanks for walk me here…"

"That was nothing…"

He said. At that time, they realize they were too close, just centimeters away from each other…

Yumi notice that, now, Ulrich was in a good height to kiss, not too short, not too tall, just perfect… She blushed a little with her thoughts, but Ulrich didn't notice. He was too busy arguing with himself about kiss her or not… For impulse, he leaned down, closing his eyes, she closed her eyes waiting for him, but he separated, before anything happen

"Sorry… Was a mistake, we are just friends…"

He said the last words more to himself, to remember him that she was a friend…

She was upset, but didn't show it

"It was just an impulse…"

"Yeah…"

He said upset and regretting what he have done… But she noticed it

"You seem upset…"

"No, I'm not!"

He tried to hide his feelings and his sadness.

"Yes, you are"

Ulrich never was good to hide things from Yumi, he just looked away and prayed for her forget that happen

"Ulrich, look at me…"

She said kindly, it wasn't fair for him because she knew that he couldn't resist when she spoke that way, she never wonder why, till now… Ulrich slowly turn his head and his eyes to look at her, still upset

"Why…?"

"Why, what?"

He didn't get that

"Why you are with this look in your eyes?"

"Which one?"

"The one that shows you are upset because you think you never will get something you want…"

She said knowing this look because she has this look every time she thinks about him, and in how she thought they would be just friends forever…

"It's not something, is someone…"

He said looking deep at her, giving her the tip that was her. And she got that. She rested her hands in his shoulders, using it to help her up to him, closing her eyes in the process. He wasn't silly, he knew what was coming next, and he closed his eyes too.

Ulrich and Yumi finally kissed each other, and finally going to the next level of their relationship, not knowing the hole school would know the next day, because 3 friends was seeing them, and the 'oddest' one was taking photos…
