Friday brought in a windy, rainy day along with some tension in the air. Ulrich and Yumi shared Math, Science, and Gym class. All all day, neither could stand to look at the other; Yumi felt ashamed of the fertilized egg within her and Ulrich was ashamed that he resorted to an anonymous hooker on a daily basis.
The two of them arrived at lunch a few minutes before the rest of their group. They sat down across from each other, extremely uncomfortable and equally red. They sat in silence for a minute; their bodies going through the natural mechanics of eating. Finally the silence became too much.
"Yumi I-"
"Ulrich I-" they said at the same time. They both closed their mouths and went a shade redder.
"Y-you first." Ulrich said. Yumi was once again too nervous to speak, but she had to try. She set down her fork to keep it from clattering on her tray from the shaking that her hands were doing.
"Ulrich, I just want to say that...that..." she was having a hard time finding the words. She knew that Ulrich had a crush on her before. And he said he would always be there for her. But still, she wasn't sure how he would react. "...that I'm s-sorry. I'm sorry for going out with William. I only did it to make you jealous." Ulrich blinked. He was too stunned to say anything, "And I only s...sleapt with him that one night because I saw you kissing Sissi. I-i didn't know that it was a Xana spectre at the time." She felt her eyes get watery but she held back from crying.
"Uh." Ulrich said. He hadn't expected Yumi coming out like that.
"S-so. What were you going to say?" Yumi asked, forcing a smile to her face.
"Oh, yeah. I wanted to say that I l-" Ulrich said.
"Hey guys!" Odd yelled as he sat down with a tray holding more food than it was rated for.
"Odd!" Yumi and Ulrich yelled.
"What? Did I interrupt something?" he asked.
Ulrich and Yumi sighed. "No."

Fortunatley there were no attacks that day. Ulrich and Yumi tried to talk three more times that day but each time Odd or Jim interrupted. The school day ended and Yumi walked home during a break in the weather.
Ulrich sat on his bed, leaning against the wall, staring out the far window at the stormy sky. Odd walked in.
"What's on your mind Romeo?" Odd asked.
"Nothing." Ulrich said gloomily.
"Okay then, who's on your mind?" Odd asked suggestivly. Ulrich sighed but didn't answer. "I can't see why you don't just walk up to Yumi and just tell her how you feel."
"I've tried." Ulrich said, shooting Odd a glare, "But every time I try to talk to you you come barging in before I can tell her I love her!" Odd blinked and grinned. Ulrich covered his mouth, surprised.
"Well its about time you admitted it to yourself." Odd said, "And outloud even." he made a show of applause. "Now all you have to do is tell her before Roger does."
"Roger?" Ulrich asked, going pale. Roger was the football team's quaterback and just an all around prettyboy.
"Yeah. Didn't you hear? He's been courting Yumi all week." Odd said, laying back on his bed and crossing his legs, petting Kiwi. "I think I saw him leaving after her." he made a thoughtful guesture. Ulrich strained to remember. He did remember seeing Roger leaving the campus shortly after Yumi.
"Y-you don't think that he'd...and she'd..." Ulrich said, wide eyed.
"I don't know." Odd said casually, "Maybe. I mean, William made a move when you waited too long." He turned to see the look on Ulrich's face but he was already out the door. "Wow." Odd said, blinking in surprise. He pulled out his cell phone and called Jeremie. "Hey, Einstien, he fell for it. I'm just as surprised as you are." he said.

Ulrich was running down the city streets as fast as he could; the torrent of rain not bothering him in the slightest. He turned a corner and saw Roger pass by in a the back seat of a car driving out of road where Yumi's house was. Ulrich panicked and ran faster. He stopped at the gate to the Ishiyama residence and opened it and ran in and up to the door. After a second of panicked knocking Yumi's mother answered.
"Ulrich? What are you doing out in this weather?" She asked when she opened the door and saw a soaked-to-the-bone Ulrich standing their, gasping for breath.
"Is Yumi here?" he asked, "I have something important to tell her."
"Yes, she's upstairs." her mother said, letting him in. He kicked off his shoes and ran up the steps. Yumi's mother made a face at the puddles of water he left behind.
Ulrich up the stairs and down the hall and into Yumi's room without knocking. She was getting ready to take a shower and had a towel wrapped around her body. "Ulrich?" she asked, surprised that he was here and a little angry that he hadn't knocked. Ulrich didn't wait.
"Yumi I love you!" he shouted as he ran in and wrapped his arms around her and kissed her.
