I think I…

Title: I think I…
Pairings: Odd/Aelita
Squeamish: Nothing that'll totally blow. Only except that Odd's a ladykiller and a bit of a pervert.
Rating: Currently rated "T" for suggestive themes, choice of words and words altogether.
Dedication: No one in particular, unless you want the story to be dedicated to yourself, please review or send me a PM concerning it. So right now this story is currently dedicated to the readers.
Author's Note: This is totally AU. No super computer or anything. It's solely about drama and whatnot. I hope you like it and encourage me as I write this story, even though it's not highly recognized. I think after my first chapter, they will be limited, but they will be consistent, okay? Probably once every week, it will start after this chapter gets sent out. :P
Summary: Odd's the all-time player at his boarding school and everyone knows it. Even though he's got it good with all the pretty little girls in his school (adding the young, weakly informed and naïve teachers to the list) Odd's still not happy with the progress he's getting with all of the relationships. Recently, his mother's sister had visited Japan and got married to a widowed man and gained a daughter in the process. Thinking that her new family should get accustomed with the rest of the family, Odd's aunt decides to move back to France ( I think that's where Lyoko takes place at) to introduce them to Odd and his family. Complications arise and jealously flares. What will they do next?
Odd – 16
William – 17
Yumi – 17
Ulrich – 16
Jeremy – 16
Aelita – 15
Previously on chapter two: "My interest includes cute girls (such as yourself.)" Odd just laid the moves on his cousin and seems to have sparked trouble at first glance.
"Ano…" Aelita shrank back, a bit shocked by his forward behavior. She doesn't know what he's up to and that scares her.
Words to watch out for:
Ittekimasu: Traditionally used in all (I suppose) homes of Japan. Means "I'm off"
Itterashai: Traditionally used in response for ittekimasu. Means "Please return safely."
Ano: In the story, this words is used as "Umm…" and in other ways means as in "excuse me". Or in third-person "person over there" but as you can clearly see, that is not the meaning in this chapter. Is a shy manner and (I think) is also said "ano-san" in a much more polite manner.
Chapter 3: Just joking
Odd's eyes raked all over her body, noting how tiny and fragile she is compared to him. She was cute, really cute. He wouldn't dare strip her of that title. But hey, to Odd, every girl that walked passed him looked cute. This pink-haired chick didn't at all look interesting to him, but someone to screw around with, someone to tease. Odd didn't think much of her, she was young compared to him and he preferred women around his age or older. It was cute though, seeing such a girl acting so shy and so oblivious. It made him a little ticked though, what type was she? One of those girls who acted like a nice girl in front of adults and a brat once they're gone? Maybe, but she was still a girl and it's common courtesy to be the nice alpha male.
He ushered that thought out of his head and shoved his hands into his pockets. He approached her in a sly manner, a devious smirk in place of his thin but luscious pink lips.
'Let's see how she would react to this,' Odd thought silently.
"Name: Odd Della Robbia. Age: 16. Specialties: Eating, pulling pranks, working on music, film, drawing and other forms of art and skateboarding. Hobbies: Same thing as Specialties. Interests/Likes: Girls, food, sleeping, Kiwi and cute girls (such as yourself.) Dislikes: Being called scrawny when I'm obviously svelte." Odd said in a puff of breath. He cocked his head to the side and watch her expression turn from shy and reserved to even shyer and confused one. He could've laughed, but it was funnier when the person slowly tries to digest his bold and straightforward behavior.
"Um…" she murmured. In response to his sudden…sudden statement, she shrank back, her hand pulled close to touch her rosy pink lips. Lips, which Odd presumed that had never been touched by any other human being 'sides herself.
"ODD!" Odd turned to face his mother, his lips pulled into a strange pout. He wasn't listening to whatever this old bag was saying; she was always getting on his case for getting a girlfriend. He didn't know why she was even bothered with him screwing around with them, wasn't it better that screwing over Ulrich or something? In Odd's mind, she shoulder be glad that he liked girls and not the other way around. Sure his mom was upset and ashamed that he had more than girlfriend or switched up his girlfriends once every week, but that wasn't her problem. He didn't have any babies or anything of that sort running around. He knew how to work the game, and he was good at it.
"Well Princess, it's nice to meet you, now please remember everything that I just told you because I'm not going to repeat it. Think of what just happened to be a speed introduction, don't think much into it. I'm pretty sure in a few days time you'll be used to me," Odd said rolling his eyes at his mother's earlier rant.
"Now, it's time for me to give this pretty girl a tour of the school and we'll be home around eight o'clock—"
"Odd no." The older blonde-haired woman stared down at the boy, her hands on her hips in a motherly fashion. Odd inwardly sighed; his mother honestly thought that he was going to lay it good on her when this was his first meeting with this girl.
"She's my cousin, I promise I won't do anything to her," Odd said boldly, plucking his car keys from the table in the hallway. His mother flushed an attractive hue of red before ushering the other two adults in.
"Well, it seems like Odd has it all covered and if you let Aelita, he can show her the dorms and those now famous teenage hangouts," the blonde started out, placing her hand on their backs. Odd chuckled quietly, his mother was such a riot when Odd embarrassed her and made them seem like a family of disordered issues. Odd found out that even though he lived a lifestyle on not caring what others may think or say about him, his mother lived a totally opposite life. Whatever though, it's not like Odd cared.
"It's no problem. Aelita do you mind? It'll be a very benefiting if you go out and make friends now," her father said encouragingly, nodding his head.
"Plus, maybe you'll find a spot where you and I can 'hang out'," Debbie added, giving her stepdaughter an encouraging smile. Odd watched the pink-haired girl, watching her exchange looks with her father and stepmother and finally to him.
"If it's not going to be a difficulty," she paused, "I suppose I wouldn't mind."
Odd grinned and placed his arm around the girl's neck, pulling her back. He heard her emit a small gasp and his grin grew.
"Heh. I don't bite Princess," he whispered through his grin. He said it so low not even the adults heard him, anyways why would he want them to hear? It was meant for her ears only.
"…"
"Well, we'll be going now!" Odd said winking and pulling Aelita by the neck.
"I—ttekimasu!" Aelita called out.
"Itterashai," Franz replied that smile still on his lips. Odd felt her nod her head, but with his arm around her neck, she had a limited amount of space to move. Odd chuckled and pulled the door behind them.
Odd retracted his arm and twirled the keys on his forefinger. He smiled and jabbed the keys into the keyhole of his blue convertible. Aelita stood on the sidewalk, looking a bit lost with her hands clasped in front of her. Pulling the door open, Odd slipped into the driver's side, one of his legs hanging out.
"Whacchu waiting for? Get in the passenger side," Odd said glancing at her. Aelita nodded her head and hurriedly rushed over the passenger side, pulling the door open and slipping inside. The car doors slammed shut, the engine rumbling in their ears. Odd glanced over at Aelita, now noticing how much she resembled those girls from those sitcoms and childish cartoons he watched in his spare time. A burgundy jumper-skirt that stopped right above her knee (a little up her thigh when she sat) and a sweater that covered most of her skin.
'Oh no fun, I'm glad she's cute and all, but would it kill her to be just a little sexy?' he thought to himself, his lips scrunched up to the side of his face. He stared down at her chest area and squinted.
'Is there anything there at all?' he whispered-thought to himself. He stared at her, his face contorted into a deep sense of debate. Was it the layers of clothing she was wearing that made it seem like nothing was there…? Or was there nothing there to begin with? Damn.
"Anou…" Odd heard her murmur. He glanced up at her, seeing the half of her face. And from that half he saw her alabaster-colored skin turn into the lightest shade of pink he has ever seen. She was so pale, were all Japanese girls this pale?
"Yo," he replied, placing his arm on the headrest and checking out the road for incoming and outgoing cars. There was one.
"Were you staring…at me just now?" she questioned. She peeked at him and looked down at her fumbling hands. She was so innocent. He wondered how she managed to maintain that child-like innocence, usually that breaks once you hit puberty and Odd hit his way earlier.
'Haha, so she knew?' Odd shook his head and backed his car up, only turning to face her when he finally got out of the driveway.
"Don't get too conceited, we've just met and I know I'm gorgeous and all but we're cousins, too bad though, I'd totally make you my girlfriend if you weren't." Odd joked. A small smirk placed itself on his lips and he looked over at her. She was shaking. Laughter emitted out of Odd and he shot her a reassuring smile. She was really cute and she was going to be really fun to mess around with.
"Just joking. You're cute and all, but only like a cousin, you know?" he said his laughter simmering down to chuckles. He felt her gaze glancing him over and a few strained giggles came out of her as well.
"Yes, just joking." He heard her say softly. Odd couldn't help but agree; after all he couldn't see himself actually liking her.
