When It Gets Awkward

A/N: So yeah, I hate Yulie, but no, this is not a flame - hell - I'm dedicating my first ever male avatar to her!

But despite my dislike for this extremely annoying character, I decided to write a little fic with her as the main character. I would normally write about Kara and Caesar but for some reason, when I made Trey, he kinda looked like what I perceive to be Yulie's type (think Tom Hardy or Jensen Ackles -yummy!) and an idea for a story just popped out from there.

Disclaimer: I don't own White Knight, if I did, WKC would be M rated; Kara and Caesar would have a Yuna/Tidus water scene, except with sex, and they won't just be swimming in water ;) *gets grossed out*

Yulie isn't the type of person that stays down after she's been on the ground. She always looked at the positive side of every situation and manages to put a genuine smile on her face.

But if there's one thing she cannot overcome, no matter how much effort she tries to put in moving on, is being stuck on the friend zone with the newly minted White Knight, Leonard.

AKA Major Bag of Douche, extra sensitive, hypoallergenic.

She cannot count the multiple times she sent signals across the poor boy's way, but each attempt only ends in more disappointment. After all, how can you expect a response from someone who doesn't reciprocate your feelings?

Their upcoming adventure, Yulie thought, would make their relationship stronger, maybe even to the point where he would try for something more! Sure, she was truly concerned for the princess' wellbeing, but other than the tingly feeling in her chest that told her to chime in and join Leonard on his journey, she was hoping for some miracle baby to shoot a love arrow on the unknowing boy.

Little did she know that she would fall for someone else…

Leonard's new pal was something else. He was a little bit taller, had really strong arms and hands like he had been working on a farm all his life, and his eyes looked so deep and mesmerizing. At first, Yulie thought it was just a petty crush, after all, Trey was drop-dead gorgeous! He reluctantly joined the group after Rapacci assigned him to look out for Leonard and her. She learned from Leonard that Trey is a noble from Greede; he was the second born son so he could pretty much do whatever he wanted. His father is close friends with Rapacci and asked the warg to look after the young wayward while he stays over at Balandor.

In just a short amount of time, Yulie began to grow fond of the male archer. He knew how to cook, heal, and listen whenever she needed somebody to talk to. And Yulie never hesitated to take an opportunity to get closer to Trey because he smelled so darn good; even after every monster they've encountered, he never once broke a sweat!

So the night after they battled the Black Knight in the Nordia Tunnels, she decided to make a move, or at least get above friend and maybe try for good friend - or friends with benefits, gods willing.

Trey had just finished cleaning up after dinner when he felt a light tap on his shoulder, "Hey, thanks for the meal. It was really good!" He beamed up with a smile and gestured for Yulie to sit beside him.

When he didn't say anything, Yulie pressed on, "So, umm," she gulped a little, hoping that the stomach acid would kill the butterflies in her insides, "Do you just see me as a friend…or can we go beyond that?"

At first, Trey's eyes widened in surprise, then his smile just got wider and wider until it was a full blown laugh. Yulie found it both cute and dorky that his laugh was just a bunch of grunts and guttural noises.

He pointed at her, then placed the same hand on his chest then took it out, and crossed his forefinger and middle finger.

"…I'm sorry, what?"

He repeated the gesture over and over patiently until her eyes widened in blatant surprise; as if he expected her reaction.

She blinked over and over, it never occurred to her that he could be a mute! And he was! So all those times when she thought he was listening?! It was simply because he couldn't talk back?

She could feel her eyes rolling toward the back of her head as she thought of dying in embarrassment.

Nghh! A mental scream, then a small sigh as she quietly chided herself, "Aww I guess it was just too much to ask huh?"

Trey smiled at the female archer and held her hand fondly. Then, just as Yulie was about to say something, he gave her a peck on the cheek, before standing up to help Eldore set up their tents.

The befuddled archer couldn't help but blush at the gesture.

Eh, at least he's cute.

And a large smile careened her face.

Fin

A/n: I had a large dose of fruitiness while I wrote this! I'm not sure whether to make this a multi or what. I made a habit out of making possible multi chapter fics when I was younger and I ended up never finishing almost any of them. I don't want to make the same mistake now that I'm slowly getting my muse so this might end as a one shot. Reviews welcome as always.

Sorry! If I do think of a multi chap for this little piece, I'll just announce it and updates will follow suit.

Hope you guys like it =)
