hello to all my little readers. i hope you all forgive me for my first failure but here's my second attempt.

Disclaimer: Dont own any of the Artemis charaters. The others are all mine.

A/N:(This one's specially forPagan) you are not to mock my characters or are you to tell there actual counterparts what i have written about them. Also this story is SLASH so if thats not your cupatea dont read. i really dont appeciate flames.

For all of those who didn't understand that (which would be everyone) My OC's are based on a few of my friends at school and for future reference i dont like ppl bagging my characters. it takes me all of 3 seconds to come up with them so if they are terrible its really not their fault. Oh and if my info on Rugby is incorrect im sorry im stilltrying to learn the rules.Gawd that was alot of shit bout nothing anyway on with the stori


Rugby Players

He put his head down and stared at the player facing him. Lawry felt as his teammates behind him bent down placed their heads between his legs and the others next to him.

He waited for the ref's call and off they went. Each team pushing, with all the strength that they had, into the other.

And yes! There it was the ball was free and he saw Jonno running forward, dodging two players and shoving the ball across the score line.

YES! They'd done it. They had finally won the state cup.

Lawry watched in a daze as Jonno converted his own try. The boy was so graceful in his movements.

Lawry gave a small smile as he watched Jonno's long, curly hair bounce up and down as he ran towards the other player's, arms outstretched, and he thought MINE.

All mine.

It was true. The Dextrin Warriors had not won a grand final in 5 years but here was the most famous rugby cup in the hands of Matt the team captain.

They were all gathered in the change rooms, some showered and others half naked waiting for the next boy to emerge lobster red from the steam.

'Some like it hot' – Power Station was blaring through the speakers. Kyle and Polly dancing around in their towers giving a grand performance for the rest of the team.

" … We want to multiple, are you going to do it?" they screeched at each other.

Lawry sat next to Matt, the captain, laughing at the two jokers. He was ecstatic that the team had finally won.

He had been with them for 3 years and he believed that they absolutely deserved the cup. Well after having to put up with coach Hargsons drillings they needed a very, very BIG reward.

That man was a dragon, but he was a great coach, proof of that was sitting next to him.

Lawrence was 17 years old and was one of the older boys who played for The DW's. He was the strongest Prop, and star player, and along with Russ, Al and Mike they formed the "Crushers".

Ever since the four boys had played forward together, there had not been a team that could beat them in a scrum, maul or ruck. To Lawry rugby was a way of life; he lived and breathed for it.

He was an average student at the local high, with the exception of maths. He was the top maths student in his year. Rugby was a release for him after all the hassles at school and home. It was his heroin.

Someone walked into Lawry's line of sight and it made him smile. Here was his other distraction from the bad side of life.

Jonno was red from the shower and his hair was tussled from trying to dry it. God he just looked so yummy. He gave Lawry a small smile and walked over.

He stopped right in front of Lawry and began rubbing his ears. It was Lawry's only weakness. He couldn't say no to anyone if they rubbed his ears in just the right way and Jonno knew exactly the right way to make Lawry as helpless as a pussycat.

Wolf-whistles echoed of the walls as Jonno climbed on top of Lawry's lap. The rest of the team was use to having the two boys make out in front of them.

That didn't mean that they couldn't take the crap out of them when they decided to snog in the middle of the change rooms.

The wolf-whistles received a "fuck off" from both boys before they went back to play tonsil hockey. Jonno's tongue was playing with Lawry's left earlobe and Lawry was running his hands up and down the legs on either side of him, a towel barely covering Jonno's naked body when there was a loud knocking from the change room door.

"Hey boys, everyone decent?" called Coach Hargson.

"Pretty much." called Matt, as he turned down the stereo.

Lawry grabbed the naked boy sitting on his lap as Jonno went to move away.

"Don't even think about moving. I haven't fully congratulated you for winning the game today." He said with a grin as he shifted the towel to cover a little more of Jonno's lower body. "And it's not like coach hasn't seen us before."

Jonno went to say something and Lawry stuck his tongue briefly into the open mouth in front of him.

"Ha hmmm." Coach coughed. And the two boys turned to look at him. And there standing behind Hargson was a well dress elderly man and a stunning boy who look to be about 17.

"Would you two please get off each other and Jonno will you please get some clothes on?" Coach Hargson voice got higher and higher as he spoke.

Lawry laughed at the look on coach's face. It was a mix between utter embarrassment and absolute hilarity. Matt and a few of the other boy's joined in while the rest tried not to look at Lawry or coach.

Lawry looked towards Jonno to find the boy red with embarrassment.

"Aw baby," Lawry said calming down immediately "You've got to laugh. Coach looks fucking hilarious." This was whispered reassuringly as Lawry let go of Jonno's legs so the boy could stand and walk away. Lawry watched as the cute little backside walked around the corner and out of sight.

"DAMN! Thanks coach!' Lawry said sarcastically as he stood and began to pack up his equipment.

"Well it's your fault. I did ask if everyone was decent." Hargson retorted

"You could have said you were bringing visitors," he glanced at the pair standing in the doorway, still looking slightly shocked "it's going to take me weeks to get him back." Lawry complain.

He had a point it had take 3 months before Jonno even allowed Lawry to kiss him in public. All that hard earned trust flushed down the toilet in 30 seconds.

"You'll work it out." Coach said with a laugh. "You're not our best 'bully' for nothing you know!" Lawry groaned. Another of Coach's lame jokes.

"Anyway, forget about your little boyfriend for a moment. I came in here to introduce you guys to your new sponsor. May I introduce Mr. Artemis Fowl Senior and his son Artemis Fowl the second, who is a new student at Tremont High. I'm sure you will make his sponsorship of this team worthwhile and hopefully you haven't already scared him off."

Coach gave a sidelong glance at Lawry and received the finger.

"I'll let you get back to your celebrations and you can come and welcome Mr. Fowl when you're ready." With that he walked out of the change room and took both Fowl's with him.

Much later Lawry walked out of the change rooms feeling like crap. He had gone to make things up with the traumatized Jonno and had ended up breaking up with the little sod completely. Well that's what you get for dating boys instead of men he thought to himself.

He walked down the hill towards the bus stop. He looked back over the oval where he had felt so triumphed when they won, now it just made him feel depressed to be heading back home. Something in the middle of the field caught his eye. It was the boy from this afternoon.

What is he doing there surrounded by light looking like an angel. Lawry wondered. He had noticed this afternoon how gorgeous the boy was, Artemis, that was his name. And now as Lawry stared at the lone figure he turned towards Lawry and stared straight into his eyes.

Oh my god! His eyes where the colour of ice. They glistened with a mixture of cold intelligence and pure distaste. Lawry was sure at that very moment there was no way that he was going to be able to leave this boy, no, puzzle alone. He was a sucker for complicated problems. Now he just had to work out how to go about solving this little conundrum.


There you go. sorry i just fixed up all the mistakes i found if anyone else finds any plz tell me. Now R & R ppl. that buttons there for a reason.
