AN: This is the Shortest chapter I plan on ever posting to this story.
Chapter Twenty Wednesday, May Sixteenth Finneas 'Finn' Ansel, Legacy of Hades
The sun shines on Angeles and Finn has been drawing all night. However, he's only been working on one piece of work. He's completing the drawing of the statue. The same drawing Remmy rudely interrupted him multiple times yesterday.
He sits on the balcony, the sun warms the area but Finn doesn't care. He's engrossed in the drawing. A knock gets placed on his door, but he doesn't hear it. Soft pop music plays from his phone and the image takes up all of his attention.
Unknown to him, his youngest maid lets in Remmy.
"Hey, Finn." Remmy musters out a weak laugh.
Finn jerks his head up. It's the first time all night he hasn't been working on this drawing.
"What are you doing here?" He doesn't turn to look at Remmy.
Remmy steps out onto the balcony and sits in front of Finn, forcing himself into Finn's line of sight. He looks at Finn's face, annoyance and anger read from the young man. Regret washes over Remmy, but he keeps at his task. He won't leave until he apologizes.
"I wanted to say I'm sorry." Remmy tells him, "I never meant to make you feel terrible and invade your personal space. I realize now how much it means to you and I am ashamed for betraying your trust like that."
Finn rolls his eyes, "Why should I accept your apology?" He's yet to look up at him, his eyes jet set and the dark brown dress shoes Remmy chose to wear with his outfit. He sees the bottom half of Remmy's khakis and Finn's eyes shift to what he's wearing: his hoodie and a pair of boxers. Finn would then try to see what else Remmy is wearing, but he can feel the heat gathering and the blood flushing towards his face. He's blushing and scrambles to get his hood on. He goes invisible, hoping Remmy is sincere in his apology and won't try to take it off of his head.
"I'm being totally honest here," Remmy answers, "I don't like conflict like this and I missed you yesterday. Riding back to the palace and then realizing that I might've lost my best friend sucks."
Finn looks up. He can look Remmy in the eyes without Remmy noticing. He can see the sincerity and remorse Remmy feels. He also notes the makeup under his eyes and the hair not being combed like it usually is.
"You look like crap." Finn takes off the hood, a bit of the blush still remains present, but neither comment on it. Remmy weakly laughs, "I guess I didn't get much sleep last night."
"Were you up because of me?"
Remmy blinks at him for a moment before scratching the back of his neck, "Yeah, I guess so."
"Oh."
"Do you want to get breakfast?"
"Can I put some pants on first?"
"Only if I can brush my hair."
The two of them laugh the tense night and act like it never happened in the first place.
