(Code Lyoko fanfic) Code Lyoko Warriors of Love in A Fine Mess
This is a self-contained Code Lyoko fanfic where the five main characters, the Lyoko Warriors, are all dating each other in a polyqule relationship, and Odd is non-binary. In this story, I'm using episode 42: A Fine Mess, as a jumping board for this story. I took it and made it represent a possible aspect of the transgender experience. It contains both gender euphoria with non-binary Odd in a girl's body, and gender dysphoria with Yumi in Odd's body.

Long author's note
Enby is a term meaning a non-binary person and this story is written by a nonbinary person. This story shows both gender euphoria and gender dysphoria.
!CW/TW! (These parts can be skipped) this story contains Yumi's feelings about using the bathroom that has a nonsexual, talk of and naming of genitals(once), but nothing is explicit, nor sexual in any way shape, or form. It is blocked off between a set of '*1's. There is also !nonsexual! analysis of the overall shape of Yumi's underwear-clad body that is blocked off by a set of '*2's, Both of those sections demonstrate gender dysphoria and gender euphoria respectively, so if you can, read it.
Non-binary does not mean masc presenting. There are many non-binary people, both AFAB(assigned female at birth) AND AMAB(assigned male at birth) who like presenting femininely.

Odd came out of the scanner feeling off. They looked down at their body and noticed that it was Yumi's, as they were processing this, the other scanner opened, and Odd saw their body and asked, "What am I doing there!"
"So, you're Odd?" Ulrich gestured to the girl's body.
"The one and only!" they forced a grin and tried to maintain their usual sense of humor, which seemed wrong coming from Yumi.
"And your Yumi?" he turned to face the other.
"Apparently, let's get Jeremie to fix this," she responded heading towards the elevator, the other two following as Aelita got out of the scanner, its opening hiss got everyone's attention.
"So, you're still Aelita, right?" Yumi asked, worried.
"Of course, I am, who else would I be?" she smiled though a little confused.
"There's been a bit of a mix-up, we'll tell you and Jeremie when we get to the last member of our little love group, princess," Odd smiled at her. Not quite sure what was going on she followed her partners into the elevator. The doors hissed open as they reached the supercomputer.
"So, um, Jeremie, we've got a bit of a problem..." Ulrich explained the situation.
"Not good," was all Jeremie had to say, as he mentally took stock of the situation.
"Are you two ok?" Aelita asked, grabbing a hand of both of the affected people.
"As long as I get back in my body soon, this just feels wrong," Yumi responded.
"Yeah, can you put us back through the scanners and fix this?" Odd asked.
"I would not recommend it, what if the scan messes up again and you don't have any bodies this time!" Jeremie told them the probable worst-case scenario.
"Okay, bad idea," they took back the suggestion.
"If this is a bug, you can fix it right?" Yumi asked.
"Well, yes if I can isolate it."
"How long will that take, a couple of hours?" Yumi sounded desperate.
"If I work through the night, I should be able to fix it at some point tomorrow," he looked away, not wanting to be the bearer of bad news to his partners.
"I'll stay with him so we can get it done faster," Aelita offered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By the time they got back to campus, Yumi was still fuming about the situation. Odd on the other hand had not only come to terms with it, but they also didn't seem bothered by it. Though, Odd didn't have to worry about their family's involvement like Yumi did. The three non-coders headed towards the school building.
"Ever wonder what it's like to cuddle with yourself?" Odd asked, trying to help Yumi with cuddle therapy. This earned the enby a sideways glare.
"I'm really not in the mood," she huffed.
"Come on Yumi," they pleaded.
"I want to be alone!" she stormed off. Leaving Odd and Ulrich, standing in the woods, giving her all the space she needed. She had Odd's mobile she could reach out at any time.
They decided to head to the main building. Odd grabbed his hand. They tried to keep the whole polyamorous relationship a secret but even before everyone started going out with everyone, people thought Yumi and Ulrich were dating, so they could do some public displays of affection or as much as Ulrich feels comfortable with, which usually isn't much. Aelita and Jeremie could act like a couple for the same reason, making Odd feel left out, so they were savoring this moment.
The two of them walked around campus enjoying holding hands while talking about nothing of importance. It wasn't long before Odd tested the waters and wrapped an arm around his shoulder. He did not pull away, instead, he leaned into the embrace.
Then Sissy came up to them. All good things must come to an end.
"Well, looks who's here, Romeo and Juliet," Sissi said in her perpetual mocking tone.
"Sissi, I can't believe it, what a lame brain," Odd muttered.
"Oh Ulrich, when will you understand that I am the girl for you," she cooed. "What do you see in this string bean anyway?"
"At least I don't have the mind of a vegetable," Odd quipped, making her gasp in horror. "Give it a rest Sissi, Ulrich, and I were made for each other," they impersonated. Before leaning closer to Ulrich holding him for the effect. They knew that he was uncomfortable. He showed it in a way that only his partners could recognize. He stayed in the embrace to enjoy watching a frustrated Sisi, who just stammered before saying that's disgusting and storming off.
As soon as she left, Odd pulled away, noticing his boyfriend's discomfort. "Oh Ulrich, did I go too far showing affection, I know you don't like that I shouldn't have done that! I just needed to show Sissi," Odd apologized, there was not a hint of humor in their voice. A tone that is rarely used. Just a pure apology.
"No, it wasn't that," he sighed, "it's just weird seeing your face and hearing your words come from Yumi's body," he tried to explain.
"Do you want me to try a Yumi impression?" they asked, only half-joking.
"No! Just be you, I like you as you," he admitted looking away, trying to hide the bits of pink on his cheeks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yumi was furious as she paced around the woods on the edge of campus. Odd was going to make a fool of themselves in front of her parents and she'd have to deal with it tomorrow. After a while she realized that she had to use the bathroom, renewing her feeling of dread. She didn't even know how to do that in this body, she had an idea, but she didn't want to end up making a mess or something. She also didn't feel ready to deal with that thing between her legs, she's not sure whether it was better or worse than it's one of her partners. She figured she'd call them; preparing herself for the most awkward phone conversation of her life. She took out their phone and dialed her number.
AND I'm skipping this phone call for everyone's comfort. She agreed to meet up with them when she was done. They figured out what bathroom should be empty to make it easier for her.
They met her by the bathroom on the second floor of the science hall. Ulrich and Odd were waiting outside. *1 She just felt disgusting and wrong, this was not how she imagined seeing a penis for the first time, and wasn't ready for it, and definitely did not want it coming out of her body. If she felt uncomfortable with the body before, now she really felt it. It was worse knowing that it was Odd's.*1 She was just glad she would only have to do this a few more times, and then she'd be back in her body. She scrubbed her hands in hot soapy water after.
Odd noticed her destress immediately and wrapped an arm around the now shorter girl, they felt weird actually being tall for once. The three of them went to the wooden area of campus and cuddled as Yumi told Odd what to do and what not to do when dealing with her parents. They just claimed that they "got this," which did not ease Yumi's nerves. Eventually, they just sat down and relaxed until Odd had to go home to Yumi's, and it was time for the other two to go to dinner.
Yumi was glad she had Ulrich to walk her through the rest of the night. The biggest part was sneaking Kiwi out for a walk and then they could just cuddle and talk in the dorm room. There were a lot of kisses and cuddling that night.
"I need to get you alone in a private place more often, I never realized just how touch-starved you are," she smirked, leaning around the boy in her arms to kiss his cheek.
"Sure, I guess we can do that," a small smile crossed both of their lips.
Once it was time to go to sleep, they each went to their separate beds. Ulrich kept tossing and turning, unable to get comfortable. Then he gave in. "Yumi? You still awake?"
"Yeah, is something wrong," she yawned.
The embarrassment and awkwardness in Ulrich's words were audible. "Odd and I normally cuddle at night, would you um, be willing to hold me?"
She smiled at the opportunity, "come over here," she rolled onto her side facing her boyfriend, and lifted the covers inviting him over. He walked over and lay down next to her. After a while of adjusting so they were both comfortable, Ulrich's back was to her as she held him as he curled back into Yumi's smaller torso. They both fell asleep happy. Yumi hadn't had such a good night's sleep in a long time. Ulrich being touch starved was the only good thing about this mess.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the disaster of dinner
Odd went to Yumi's room. They thought about messing with her and messing with her contact's names but decided against it. She really seemed to be having trouble dealing with being in their body. Instead, they went to the full-length mirror in her room.
*2 They stood there, looking at the curves and softness beneath the muscles of the body they were in. They looked at their reflection, looking at the body, not really in a sexual way, but they looked at the body and imagined it as their own. Since they would never wear an outfit like that, they and Yumi have very different tastes in clothing, they took off her shirt and pants staring at Yumi's underwear-clad form, they knew that it was wrong to stare at their partner's body but Odd didn't do this sexually and tried not to even view it as Yumi's body. They were then able to imagine themselves with a body like that. They ran their hands over her curves. It felt right, having a narrow waist that widened at the hips and the chest. They liked the feeling of having them on their body. *2 That's what they wanted, a curvy body and breasts. They didn't want to change their genitals, but Odd wanted to have breasts and curves. They didn't know if that was even possible for someone assigned male like they were. They'd have to ask Jeremie or Aelita to see if they could look into it or lend them a laptop so they can search the web themselves. Though they didn't know what to look for.
They then went to look through Yumi's closet to try on some of her more feminine clothing. There wasn't much for Odd to choose from, which they already knew. Yumi was not a very feminine girl. Despite that, they found a few skirts and dresses. They realized that they liked them. Odd realized that they liked looking and dressing like a girl, not that their normal attire was overly masculine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yumi woke up to the sound of an alarm that wasn't hers and something warm against her. She quickly remembered what happened as Ulrich stirred. She held him for a moment trying to savor the only good thing about this mess.
"Oh-Yumi, we need to get ready," the brunet responded sleepily. He got up, overpowering her with an ease that he would not have had if he was with Yumi's actual body.
Begrudgingly she got out of bed, the dread coming back as she got dressed opting not to shower, but was embarrassed to have to go to the bathroom where boys showered to go to the bathroom again and brush Odd's teeth. Before doing all that, she called Aelita, hoping she had good news.
"Hello Yumi," her voice sounded tired but still cheerful. She answered the question before Yumi could even ask, "We haven't fixed it yet, but we've isolated the error and are almost done patching it. We should have it done in a few hours."
"Great," Yumi sighed and hung up, preparing her for what she'd have to do. At least Ulrich was with her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was time to get ready for school, and Odd did not hear from Aelita or Jeremie about an antivirus, so they figured that it wasn't done. So, they'd have to go to each other's morning classes. They went through the closet and found something that they'd like to wear it was a bit more feminine and out-there than her usual outfit but nothing too extreme. They wanted her to feel comfortable once she got back into her body. Just for fun, they changed everyone in their polycule's names to animals. After another awkward encounter with Yumi's parents, they headed toward school, calling Yumi to get her schedule. She did not sound that good, so Odd undid his prank.
During their first class, the two affected people got called by the coders, saying everything was ready. They managed to excuse themselves from class and headed over to the factory.
The antivirus worked, and the four of them went back to campus.
