.I'm Here.

WARNING!: This story contains content not suitable for yaoi/slash/shounen ai haters. This also pertains to fans of .....rgh.... Yumi/Ulrich coughloserscough. There will also be slight, SLIGHT, Yumi-bashing because I hate her. Okay? Sorry, but I can't help it. This is my fanfic so if you want to flame me I'd like to hear your immature (not saying that's a bad thing) comments on why my story is blahdy blah. If you want to flame me, do it right. I look forward to hearing from you, evil comment or not. Thank you.

Disclaimer: I don't own Code LYOKO. Simple as that. I haven't a clue as to who created Code LYOKO, except for the fact that they're pure geniuses......well, the Yumi part could go, but I'm not complaining.... much....................................

To the story!

.Dream.

A soft touch... a gentle kiss... sweet murmurs fill my ears as I am drawn into a warm embrace.

I am more secure than I've ever been in my life... I, Odd, feel truly cared for, loved.

As I lean in to my savior, I realize too late that all good things have an end.

The arms wrapped comfortingly against my waist fade, as does the person.

And there I am, falling through the never-ending blackness, afraid and alone... so alone...

Nooooooo!'

.-.o.-.

Ulrich?

A violent storm raged outside as the brunette rolled over in his bed, muttering about evil odchikins.

Ulrich? Pooooke! Pooky poo, chumpkin!

Ulrich flinched as Odd poked him in the small of his back.

Isha bee!.... go waayyyy, pooky poo..... he mumbled sleepily, barely awake.

Odd guffawed and pinched his cheek.

Oww! Ulrich yelped as he sat up and his mind cleared. Odd!!

Hee hee, sorry, I couldn't resist.... heheh... the blonde giggled.

The brown-haired boy hmphed' and crossed his arms before noticing the very strange fact that Odd was awake at two in the morning. He rubbed his eyes and stared at Mr.I'm-Ever-So-Pink-And-Purple-La-Di-Da, now fully awake.

What the hell are you doing up so early?!

I hadda nightmare! Odd stated simply.

But you always fall asleep right after you start screaming about how much you despise spinach. And what'd you wake me for anyway? I was having a really good dream, too.

The blonde narrowed his eyes unhappily. About who? Your precious Yumi?

Ulrich was slightly taken aback by Odd's reaction. No. I can't remember what it was about, but it had nothing to do with Yumi! Why do you care?

His friend raised an eyebrow in disbelief, but didn't comment.

You're acting funny, Odd.

My name is Oddddddddd.

So?

I'm funny!

....

Odd people are always funnier!

....I think we're getting a bit off topic here...

Boring brownie!

.......We aredefinitely off topic.......

Booooooooooooooooring!

Odd made a boorish face for effect.

So, Odd, what did you wake me up for?

The blonde scratched his head confusedly. I dunno! he said. When Ulrich glared at him angrily, he sweatdropped and wracked his brain. Umm....er.... Oh! Oh! I remember!

.....Well? Go on!

Pause for eeeeeeeffffffffeeeeeeect...

Odd...

Oh yeah, that's right, ruin my fun, yup, go on, I dun caaaaaaare....!

One.... two..... seventy-nine.....one hundre-

Can I sleep with you? Please?

Silence.

........

More silence.

........

And even more silence.

........

The brunette stared uncomprehendingly while the other boy glanced around nervously. I... don't like the thunder.... it's....it's.... can I PUHLLLLLEEEEEEEEZE sleep in your bed for tonight? Today? Whatever... I'll let you have my lunch! Or my new purple shirt that I really, really like! Please?!

Silence.

Stare. Comprehend. Blush.

Oooh, heheh.

Ulrich, however, didn't have much say in the matter. It seemed nature was against him that night.

Or with him, more like.

A sudden, huge clap of thunder echoed from the heavens, causing the cute, odd little blonde to finally snap.

Rushing to Ulrich's bed, he dived under the covers and scooted as close as possible to the boy himself, shivering all the while.

Ulrich stiffened as Odd curled up in a ball next to him, grabbing the blanket to make himself appear coccoon-like. Before he could say anything the blonde yawned, rubbed his eyes tiredly, and said, You're nice and warm. You smell good, too......cuuuuuuuuute.......zzzzz......

The brunette turned a nice shade of red. H-hey! You can't just-! My-! Argh! Fine! Wake me up, steal my bed, and sleep! Sleep after a scare! I really don't care! he snapped huffily, snatching the sheet from Odd and covering himself with it. Positioning himself as far away from his best friend as possible, he muttered grumpily, Let's see how you like getting cold! You'll want your own bed before long! I guarantee you! With that, Ulrich turned on his side, back facing Odd, and fell asleep.

Odd eased his eyes open slightly. Heheh... he chuckled quietly when he was positive the other boy was fast asleep. I did pretty good.... maybe I should start a career in acting.... naah! I have to complete my mission Steal-Ulrich-From-Yumi-And-Make-Him-Mine-Bwahahaha! first. Besides, I'd rather draw Ulrich any day.... he thought dreamily, scooting closer to his best friend.

I gotta admit, though, that thunder was really scary.....

.-.u.-.

To be continued...

A/N: This is my top priority, so I should post again pretty soon. A word of caution, the characters may be somewhat out of character because I've only seen two episodes. Yeah, just two, but my best friend tells me ALL about it, so I hope I did alright. Let me know what you think. Okay, PUHLEEZE?! Arigatou!

.Spaz.
