For the past few weeks, Ulrich didn't hang out with his group of friends like usual, He'd been isolating himself in William's room with William. They also have skipped classes to spend time together.
It was early in the morning around 6:45, Ulrich slowly crawled out of bed, William's bed putting on some clothes, He felt arms wrap around him from behind.
"Morning, Ulrich." William says kissing his cheek lovingly.
"Morning." Ulrich replies.
"Where are you going?" William asks letting go turning to put some clothes on.
"I have to go to class today…Test." Ulrich answers.
"Okay, I'll see you later?" William questions.
"Of course." Ulrich replies turning to his lover who was finished dressing.
William kisses Ulrich, Ulrich kisses back wrapping his arms around the taller one's neck while William wraps his arms around Ulrich's waist.
William and Ulrich separate, Ulrich leaving the room and then William leaving 5 minutes later. Ulrich left the dorm building going downstairs and outside going towards the school building, He sees his group of friends standing out in the hall, he takes a deep breath and walks up to them.
"Hey guys…" Ulrich says.
"Wow Ulrich you've actually made time for us, we're so honored." Odd says.
Ulrich looks down at the ground but brushes it off.
"We've been worried about you, where have you been, Ulrich?" Aelita questions.
"I've been around…Mostly at the gym." Ulrich replies.
As he said that William walked up and joined the group.
"Welcome William, You've been missing as well." Odd answers.
"I've stayed away…Since Ulrich doesn't like me being around…" William answers.
"That hasn't stopped you before, William." Yumi chimes in.
"I just wanted to be considerate for once." William answers.
The bell rings which means their conversation ended separating the group to their classes. Classes went by slowly but managed to end, Ulrich left the class in a hurry walking casually down the hall. He was quickly pulled into a dark corner and pushed against the wall, He saw it was William.
"I missed you, Stern." William says wrapping his arms around the brown-haired boy's waist.
Ulrich didn't bother to reply, He quickly kissed the raven haired male wrapping his arms around his neck pulling him closer. They were interrupted by a light female shriek.
They quickly pulled away and saw it was Aelita who looked horrified. She slowly began to walk away only to be pulled back by William.
"Don't say anything." William says getting to the point.
"I-I can't believe it, this is why you've been gone, Y-You've been with William, Y-You're s-seeing W-William!" Aelita blabbers on.
"Aelita, Please don't say anything…" Ulrich pleads.
"I won't. You're secret is safe with me plus…Knowing Odd he'll spread it around the entire school." Aelita replies with a smile of sincerity before walking off.
"That was close..." William says.
"Too close." Ulrich replies.
