Title: Nothing could come between us
Fandom: Artemis Fowl
Pairing: Artemis x Holly
Rating: T, subject to change
Summary: 'Nothing could come between us.' Artemis muttered those words in a private conversation during TP because of the kiss. But do they really think that?
NOTE: I do not own Artemis Fowl nor the characters. If I did there would be Holly and Artylits running around and they'd be doin' it like jackrabbits. But I digress. Both are a little OC and I don't want any little creepers to come after me for it. My fic my rules. Anyway, enjoy the show… er… text.
He slowly sifted his hand through the sand, watching the grains as they seemed to melt through his fingers and back onto the beach. He wasn't there for fun, oh no. He tilted the sunglasses to watch the form run through the sand. Of course they had a private beach, the five mile wide beach had belonged to the Fowl Family for many generations and of course, had its use from time to time. Almost smiling, he watched the fairy move from place to place, chasing little crabs, or even hopping into the water for a quick dip before coming back out, complaining a little that it was too cold.
His eyes widened as she slowly made her way back to the towels and blankets umbrella that graced their 'spot.' Of course she was wearing the right swimming attire, a cute two piece that fitted to her body like Artemis would fit to her if they- hey! His mind seemed to scream at him. Don't think of Holly like that, she's a good friend. Nothing could come between us. Artemis had the silent conversation with himself as he seemed to stare at the same page of the book. Holly didn't seem to notice till she went to grab some juice. Seeing Artemis so focused wasn't the problem. He was a little read in the cheeks, and drooling.
"Artemis. Artemis!" The fairy shook him, making him jump a little, though he was immediately back to composure, closing the book, not really caring about it now. "Yes, Holly?" He asked, looking into her face, though his body wanted him to look lower. "It's nothing." She decided to dismiss the thought as she went back to drinking her juice, smiling at the water. "It's beautiful isn't it? Even though humans can cause so much damage there are spots that make up for it." She said to him, looking back with a smile. "Will you come swimming with me?" Her matching eyes glimmered in the shade and he couldn't help deny her.
"Fowl's do not swim." He stated, watching with another very slight smile as she tugged his hand. "It's probably too cold anyway Holly. Go back in with yourself." She wanted to whimper. "But Arty~" She used his pet name perfectly. "I wanna swim with you." She said a little lower, sending a small shiver down his back. Damn hormones. His mind growled and he sighed and stood. "Alright then." He said, smiling as he looked down at himself. "I guess I can't, I don't want to ruin this nice outfit." He tugged a little at the pricey summer suit. "Don't worry. I had Butler pack you some trunks. And some water wings, but I don't know why." Artemis rolled his eyes and took the trunks, going to change.
Holly thought about when her feelings first developed for the human, her mind whirling with thoughts maybe it was when he consoled her after Root's passing, or when he helped her back in Russia. Or the…. She began to blush as she remembered the kiss and she had to shut her mind off. Many a time she thought about if they got together, and she could only think about how they would fight and argue, but also how they would make love or even have children. Shivers ran down her spine as she looked back to the changing room. Deciding to wait it out, she plopped on the blankets and took another drink of her juice.
"Alright, Holly. You wanna go swim?" His voice caught her and she dropped the coconut juice all over her front. The white, milky substance splashed onto her chest and down her stomach, on her legs and face. Artemis couldn't hide the red on his cheeks and it seemed Holly's cheeks got a little darker as well. "I'll wash it off in the water." She murmured, getting up and taking his hand, almost dragging him from his spot. What he witnessed was driving him crazy. Why do you think it took him so long to get out of the changing room? Thinking of yet another evil idea, he pulled her a little closer as they walked to the edge of the water. She blushed again, looking away. As their toes touched, she felt herself get picked up.
And thrown into the water. Crying until her head finally went under she could hear someone come into the water with her, pulling her up. Artemis grinned this time, making butterflies fill her chest. She wanted to kiss him, but in her mind the voice rang after last time. "Nothing could come between us." What about love, Artemis, her mind said fondly as they swam together.
