Author's notes- Some A/H fans might not like this story, because the pairing mentioned in this one is H/T, but it is also one sided A/H. So... I hope that you like it. Also, this is post TAC, and TLG never happened
He sat on the edge of his bed head bowed down in his hands, overcome of what he had just discovered. The news had come to him in the form of an e-mail from his best friend, Holly Short. It had beed a perfectly happy day for him, until he read the e-mail. Holly and Trouble were getting married. He knew that Holly and Trouble had been dating for quite some time now, but he hadn't reallized how serious they had become. It had never even crossed his genius mind that they would actually get engaged.
Taking a deep, calming breath, Artemis stood up from the bed and walked over to the window. In Holly's e-mail, it had read that she would be coming to the surface to see him one last time before the marriage, to which he was invited to. The full reality of the onset of the wedding hadn't really set in to his genius mind. It was amazing how such a mind like his could understand the hardest calculus problem, yet when it came to the life of the one he loved, he was oblivious.
Artemis didn't know when he had first fallen in love with her, but what he did know was that as soon as he reallized his feelings for her, they wouldn't stop. So, he accepted the feelings, and watched in torture as Holly and Trouble grew more close. Now that he had received the new of their future marriage, he wished that he had somehow stopped the relationships in the very first stages of its development. But... Holly would have reallized what he had done and would have most likely would have never talked to him again. He would have much rather have Holly as a friend as she was dating Trouble, than to not have her at all.
Artemis yawned. He was exhausted, but he had to stay up for Holly. He stood for a few minutes, trying to fight against the weariness that rained upon him. Giving up, Artemis closed the window, knowing that if she ever came, she would open the closed window and slip into his room. Lying down on his bed, Artemis smiled at the thought of seeing Holly when he woke up, and fell into a deep sleep.
Hours passed, and the closed window never opened.
