[And Artemis is a little surprised that he's gotten this response. He thought what he was talking about was all chaste-no-fun talk about ~relationships~ and ~growing together. Things that no college student thought about if the sex was good and they could help it.]
[He loves Rikku too, of course. The past few months had demonstrated to Artemis just how they fit together so easily. Even when Artemis was mad or pissed off or hurt and lashing out, Rikku had known exactly what had been happening. Rikku was a little bundle of emotions and happiness, and Artemis had no idea what to do with a bundle of emotions and couldn't figure out that happiness could just happen. Rikku knew in ways that no one else cared to untangle, and Artemis didn't feel threatened by this at all. It had been his goofy roommate who drank out of the carton and walked around shirtless, and then it was his goofy boyfriend who drank otu of the carton and walked around shirtless. Neither one scared him, and so Rikku saw more than Artemis had shown anyone at school. Rikku was incredible, a sun to Artemis' moon in all seasons and weathers.]
I love you too. [Artemis whispers back, letting the majority of the kiss stay clean... before he lets his hand wander back to Rikku's hip.]
