Hi guys! I'm back (kind of). I was supposed to write this as a trade piece but it took me forever to finish (and I do mean forever). I've never written Ulmi before or even Yumi in a romantic setting so I kept being really unhappy with it. But I did promise I would write it so I finally decided to buckle down and finish it. So here it is! I hope it isn't too bad!
Disclaimer: I do not own Code Lyoko or any of its characters. I make no money off of this.
Enjoy!

"So, um…" Ulrich shifted awkwardly on the couch. This was the first time he'd been over to Yumi's house since they'd started dating. Her parents had gone out somewhere and Hiroki was over at Johnny's house for the night. Yumi stifled a laughed from the kitchen. He really was adorable sometimes. "Do you want something to drink?" she asked, getting herself a coke out of the fridge.
"Anything's fine." She grabbed another and went back into the living room. He fidgeted slightly when she plopped down on the couch and handed him his soda. He struggled to get it open for a moment and she giggled.
"You don't have to be so nervous. We hang like this all the time." Ulrich rubbed the back of his head and smiled sheepishly. "I know. Sorry." Yumi smiled and leaned on his arm and they both propped their legs up on the coffee table. "It's fine. Don't worry about it."
Ulrich smiled and shifted his arm around her as she hit a button on the remote and the movie began to play. They were silent for the next couple hours, content in each other's company. When it finally ended, Ulrich stretched his arms above his head.
"I, uh, I guess I should go. I mean, it's pretty late and we do have school tomorrow so…" He started to get up and stopped. Yumi had placed her legs on top of his. He snickered. "Yumi, come on." The Asian girl fought back a grin and feigned an innocent look.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I thought you were going to go? After all, we do have school tomorrow." Ulrich smirked and tried to dislodge his legs from hers but she had intertwined them pretty good. He gave a solid yank on his legs and Yumi squeaked when she lost her balance and slipped off the couch. Ulrich tried to grab her hand but this only caused him to be pulled down with her. They both flopped onto the floor.
Ulrich pushed himself up and they both blushed. Ulrich smirked awkwardly. "You know, I think this was technically how we met." Yumi smiled. "I do believe you're right." She pushed at him but he didn't move. "Ulrich, come on, what if my parent's come home and see this? They won't let you within 10 feet of me." She pushed again but Ulrich didn't move.
Suddenly, an idea clicked in her head and she reached up to push at Ulrich's chest then swiftly grabbed at his sides. Ulrich made a squawking sound and jerked back. "No fair!" He yelled. Yumi giggled again, an evil look in her eye. Ulrich started looking for an escape route but found none as the girls jumped at him.
Laughter erupted from the floor after that, with a few 'stop's and 'please's between gasps. After some time Yumi dissolved into laughter too. Ulrich took a couple breaths and smiled up at her. He reached up to push a couple fly away strands of hair behind her ear. She smiled and she leaned down to kiss him softly. They broke apart and the black haired girl settled on his chest.
They lay there like that on the floor, wrapped in each other's arms. Yumi smiled. "Still want to go home?" she asked, shifting a little to make herself more comfortable. Ulrich smirked. No, he didn't. He want a moment like this to last forever.
"Yumi, we're home!" Both teens jumped sharply. So much for the moment...
