This is a little songfic about Artemis and Holly to Kelly Clarkson's You Found Me. Enjoy! Disclaimer: I don't own any of it, the song or Artemis Fowl. Unfortunately.

You Found Me

Looking up, Artemis saw Holly grinning at him. He jumped, then rolled his eyes.

"Holly, if you carry on doing that, I'm going to have a heart attack."

"I know," she replied cheerily, settling down on his sofa. He smiled at her, aching with love. But of course she didn't know. She was never going to if he didn't do something about it.

Is this a dream, if it is, please don't wake me from this high,

I'd become comfortably numb, until you opened up my eyes,

He tried to keep up with the conversation she'd started, but he was (amazingly) finding it difficult to concentrate. She was so beautiful. He yearned to stroke her soft auburn hair, to be able to gaze into her clear eyes and not be scared, to kiss her… but he couldn't. It would completely ruin the friendship, and he wasn't going to be the one to do that.

To what it's like, when everything's right,

I can't believe,

"Arty? Arrrrrtyyyyy," she said slowly, waving a hand in front of his eyes. He blinked, and looked at her properly again.

"Yes?"

"Dear God, what is your problem? You're always doing that recently; drifting off into your own little world while I'm talking. I'm sorry if I'm not interesting enough to keep your attention, but-"

"Holly!" he interrupted her, "You are interesting, honestly! I've just – got a lot on my mind at the moment, that's all."

"Then talk to me about it! Isn't that what friends are for?"

He considered that. Telling her every word of it. Telling her how much he loved her, how much he needed her…

You found me, when no one else was looking,

How did you know just where I would be?

"So?"

Holly's eyebrows were raised. Artemis hesitated, then said,

"Um, new project I'm working on, sort of complicated, I've got to get back to it really, recalibrate the…" He trailed off into silence. Holly could tell when he was lying, and he knew it. She was looking sceptically at him now, trying to see what he was hiding. He sighed. He'd never been the best actor, he thought, and that really had been an appalling excuse.

You broke through all of my confusion,

The ups and the downs and you still didn't leave,

"Ok.," he began, sitting down opposite Holly and putting his head in his hands. "This isn't going to be easy, OK? The thing is, I was paying attention to you the whole time just then, just not to what you were saying."

"What?" Holly asked, confused.

"Oh, for God's sake!" moaned Artemis, desperately. Something seemed to click in his head at that point, and after muttering "What the hell," he leaned forward and kissed her.

And she kissed him back.

And suddenly everything was perfect.

I guess that you saw what nobody could see,

You found me.
