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.]
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.
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.]
[Oh... wow. Artemis always knew Rikku was an attractive boy from California, but he's never really gotten a face full of blatant sex-appeal like that. It makes Artemis' stomach twist a little in a strange new way.]
Do you... [Not his most intelligent response but.] What else do you like...?
[Artemis is very interested in seeing this. Not at this very second, but his face is starting to flush at imagining these extremely pornographic images. It isn't hard--Rikku walks around shirtless all the time.]
I never noticed. [Artemis swallows again, feeling as though his mouth is getting drier.] But after a few months of living with you, I started wanting to draw you. Walking around the kitchen in your boxers. [He smiles, almost laughing at himself for revealing that, and edges closer to where their foreheads are touching.]
You can. [He smiles back] I'll even pose nude for you. I've done it for the art kids before. Y'know that painting of Apollo and his boyfriend that got flowered--Hyacinthus?
You did not. [Artemis sounds scandalized and delighted at the same time. He thinks he could have done it better, the painting that is, but it's still a very nice piece. And Apollo's body was very nice...]
He's an egotist who can't take critique, and he won't go very far. Apparently he thinks that because I haven't taken any art classes here, I don't have a right to comment.
I hope he wasn't awful to you. [Artemis frowns. He's suddenly feeling very protective.]

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?

[He kisses Arty's cheeks]
That's why I said "anyone else". I'm not gonna rush you for anything.

[He bites his lip and gives Arty his best bedroom eyes]
But I like sex on the bed.

[He starts playing with Artemis's hair]
The heat and the steam and the water's just...
