Oh. [Artemis doesn't know why he wouldn't be okay with it, given they're sort of kissing and snuggling and doing boyfriend-girlfriend, boyfriend-boyfriend things. But some people were very touchy about terms.]

No, I'd like it.

[esypuo]

[Rikku's smile?

The brightest and happiest smile ever]

Thanks, Artemis. For not freaking out when I confessed.

[eternitycoder]

But I did freak out. Just... not as violently as you expected. [He smiles sheepishly.]

[esypuo]

But most guys freak out and don't want to room with me if they're not gay or bi and I tell them I'm crushing on them, if the gay kissing and sex doesn't gross them out first. You haven't.

[eternitycoder]

I think that gay or straight, any person with any semblance of social normalcy would feel strange about being around someone who has unrequited attachments...

Of course, I am socially abnormal. So you would have been saved from the beginning, theoretically.

[esypuo]

You're not abnormal, Arty. You're...I dunno, but abnormal makes you sound like a tumor.

[eternitycoder]

[Artemis slowly smiles.] Well, I do believe I'm growing on you.

[Welcome to Artemis!Humor. Population: 1.]

[esypuo]

[Rikku groans]

I swear to God if you ever make that joke again, Arty, I don't care if we're married with kids, I will bonk you over the head with Yunie's crucifix.

[He laughs, though]

[eternitycoder]

Ah, religious-based threats. The worst of them all. [He laughs with Rikku. He knows his attempts at humor are terrible, but there's nothing to be done.]

[esypuo]

If I were religious, I'd threaten you with my crucifix. But I'm not, so I'm gonna threaten you with Yunie's crucifix.

[He grins and kisses Artemis again]

[eternitycoder]

And I'm just fine with that. I've had enough Catholicism in my life. [He smiles and lets Rikku kiss him again. Gradually, Artemis' hand sneaks up to the back of Rikku's neck and just rests there.]

[esypuo]

[After a moment, he breaks the kiss and grabs another blanket]

If we weren't freezing our tails off and you were anyone else I liked this much, I'd be trying to get your pants off, y'know?

[eternitycoder]

Ah... [Artemis goes a little shocked and a little pale.] Can I get comfortable with kissing you first?

[esypuo]

Duh.

[He kisses Arty's cheeks]

That's why I said "anyone else". I'm not gonna rush you for anything.

[eternitycoder]

Alright... [Artemis looks a little sheepish, but he was seriously a little worried there.] I feel a little like a cold fish right now, I can't imagine being... sexy.

[esypuo]

You're sexy. You're sexy without even trying.

[eternitycoder]

No... [Artemis brushes off the compliment, smiling as though he knows Rikku is just humoring him.] I'm awkward, and mean.

[esypuo]

...well, yeah, but everything else is sexy. I can't even look at your books without imagining you being all sexy and smart about them.

[eternitycoder]

[Artemis laughs at Rikku's honesty, but he also likes the image Rikku is painting.] So should I start reading with my shirt off?

[esypuo]

[He groans]

Oh, geez, no.

[eternitycoder]

[Artemis blinks.] ...should I go to the gym first?

[esypuo]

No, no, no. No gym. But if you go shirtless I might just die of the sexiness.

[eternitycoder]

Oh... [Artemis smiles quietly.] Well I wouldn't want you to die. But I would be curious to see what would happen.

[esypuo]

I would grab you and drag you to my bedroom.

[eternitycoder]

Our bedroom. And why bother? [He smiles and looks up briefly at the blanket canopy.] It's our apartment. Unless you've been giving out keys? [He grins.]
