[Artemis beams as Rikku praises the house and turns to keep rolling his suitcase.] It's been aired out, I called ahead, but I think the groceries are still being moved in. I'll show you your room and if you're hungry we can go find a cafe.

[esypuo]

Food would be awesome. And I thought we were sharing a room?

[Puppy eyes]

[eternitycoder]

[Artemis smiles mysteriously.] I'm only giving you a choice. If you don't like the master bedroom I can always give you another one. So many views and balconies and patios...

[esypuo]

Nope! We can have sex in all the rooms, though~

[eternitycoder]

Oh god... [Artemis pulls a face as he slides the handle of his suitcase back down and starts carrying it up the stairs.] My parents stay here sometimes Rikku, that image... [He shudders.]

[esypuo]

Arty, sweetie? We're sleeping in the room where your parents slept.

[And all that implies]

[eternitycoder]

No we're not. [Artemis shakes the thought out of his head.] I'd thought of that before we even got here. No, my parents preferred a smaller room on the third floor. Better view of the ocean.

[He smiles at Rikku, a little sad.] They never spent much time here. Giving me the master bedroom was a compromise of sorts. My mother liked the ocean... and my father didn't want to see much of me on our vacations when I was younger. A young man can amuse himself in a large room for hours.

[esypuo]

[Rikku frowns and kisses Artemis's cheek]

Well, their loss.

[eternitycoder]

[Artemis smiles, cheered by Rikku's affection.] Things are different now.

[He lugs his suitcase to the top of the wide staircase and rolls it off to the right to a pair of large double doors. Artemis pauses for effect, then opens the door with an excited smile.]

[Inside is of course, a very large bed with rich cushions and a sparkling white duvet. Three sets of narrow double doors, lined with sheer white curtains blowing in the wind, lead out onto a patio with a little dining table for two. All the furniture is solid, dark wood, and the floor is covered with rugs from local artisans. However the room does have a definite 'not lived in' quality, however beautiful and hotel-like it is.]

[esypuo]

[Rikku's stunned by the sheer beauty of it before kicking his shoes off and jumping on the bed a few times and flopping down with a laugh.

That'll help]

[eternitycoder]

[Yes, yes it will.]

[Artemis slips out of his shoes as well, and his blazer and slides onto the bed with Rikku. Just as soft as he remembered it.]

So I don't have to find you another room?

[esypuo]

Nope!

[He giggles and looks at Artemis]

Can we move in here?

[eternitycoder]

It might be a bit of a commute to class. [Artemis chuckles and wraps an arm around Rikku's waist, taking a moment to admire him.]

[esypuo]

Online courses! Or something!

[He smiles, letting Artemis admire him]

[eternitycoder]

Oh that isn't fair Rikku. [Artemis leans over and kisses him lightly, but it's definitely a tease.] You know I'd give you anything I could.

[esypuo]

And you know I'd never let you unless there was a lot of convincing.

[He returns the teasing kiss]

Or sex.

[eternitycoder]

Those two are exclusive to one another? [Artemis looks over his shoulder at the slightly open door, and while he figures the staff is out of the house he doesn't want any awkward moments.]

Should I close the door, or are we saving up for our first night here?

[esypuo]

I want you to surprise me, Master Fowl~

[He laughs]

[eternitycoder]

Minx. [Artemis nuzzles Rikku softly and gives him another quick kiss before standing up and setting his suitcase on the rack--so he can start unpacking.] So no doubt you'll want to go to the beach, I'm assuming?

[esypuo]

Arty, sweetie, love of my life? You have beach access.

[That's a duh]

[eternitycoder]

Private beach access. [Artemis feels the need to emphasize this because--] I can't have all the beautiful Spanish men staring at you, can I? [He grins to himself as he hangs up one of his suits.]

[esypuo]

Don't forget the ladies. I'm not into 'em, but that doesn't mean they don't stare~

[He smirks and starts unpacking as well]

[eternitycoder]

They're free to stare, they don't have much of a chance of stealing you. [Artemis chuckles and hangs up his blazers one by one next to a few dusty, much smaller ones. In fact it looks like a lot of 9-or-10-year-old Artemis' clothes are in the various closets and drawers.]

[esypuo]

[And he notices]

What's with the smaller suits?

[eternitycoder]

Ah, they were mine. [He slides them to the side so Rikku can have some closet space.] Well, they're still mine, but I doubt they fit. [He chuckles.]
