Disclaimer: I do not own Artemis Fowl blah blah blah
Chapter 4
Artemis woke early the next morning. He was feeling somewhat better than he had the last week or so, but he wasn't running any marathons soon. He had not actually been allowed out of bed since he had got sick what with his brother hovering a few inches above all the time. The only time he was allowed out of bed was to go to the bathroom and to take warm baths. His brother seemed to know exactly what Artemis wanted at all times of the day. It was an extreme annoyance that his brother knew what move he was going to make before he even made it.
Artemis knew he was not in control of this situation. He never was in control when his brother was involved. His brother was far too strong- minded and extremely dominant in all situations to not be in control. It made Artemis wonder what job his brother had. Angelus had never told Artemis what he did or what kind of college he went to. Angelus had yet to replace Eric. Course Angelus didn't really seem to be looking all that hard either. Artemis wasn't sure but he didn't even think Angelus has been looking at all for a replacement.
Artemis looked over and saw his brother sunk low in a chair with a book in his lap. He wore gray sweat pants and a white t-shirt. The last few days style had been the last thing on Angelus's mind. Artemis's brother blinked his eyes and then stretching he sat up in the chair. He smiled at Artemis and then stood up and headed out the door. Artemis knew where he was going. To get his medicine and make the breakfast. Angelus did it every morning as if it were a part of his programming or something. Artemis sat up and waited for him to come back.
When Angelus did return he set a tray down in front of Artemis. Angelus then sat back down with his book. Artemis had noticed an unhealthy decline in the amount of food Angelus ate. It was annoying Artemis. Course a lot annoyed Artemis. Angelus hardly had enough meat on his body to cover his bones when he did eat three full meals a day. If Angelus wasn't careful he was going to be nothing but skin and bones.
"Angelus when was the last time you had a decent meal?" Artemis asked being blunt as always.
Angelus looked up from his book, staring at Artemis with an odd expression. "I'm not sure. Why do you ask?"
"Because I noticed you haven't been eating and with as fast a metabolism as you have, and as skinny as you are, that's a very unhealthy choice."
"Well I'm not dead yet am I?" He asked.
"You could be well on your way." Artemis said and to his great surprise Angelus rolled his eyes.
"I'm fine, Artemis. Trust me, this has happened before." Angelus said and lifted his book back up. Artemis could take a hint and therefore decided it best not to bother his brother on the matter anymore. Artemis ate his breakfast and a small while after Angelus checked his temperature. "Well you don't have a fever. How are you feeling?" he asked.
"I'm feeling better." Artemis said and Angelus nodded.
"Well I think it's safe to say your recovery is ensured. You can get out of bed if you like as long as you stay inside. Once you make a full recovery I shall hire your tutor and you can return to your studies. Well I have some things I must attend to little brother. You enjoy yourself." He said stood up and left the room with a smile.
Later that evening Butler, Artemis, and Angelus had dinner in the kitchen. Angelus had gotten dressed earlier and was now wearing tan slacks and a purple button down. He had made pasta that night and it was rather delicious. Butler had commented on this but otherwise it was a fairly silent meal. Artemis stole glances of his brother. Angelus was pushing his food around lazily on the plate. He'd take a bite every now and then but not often enough to acquire a feeling of fullness and it only annoyed Artemis even more.
Dinner ended as quietly as it began. Angelus, claiming exhaustion, asked Butler if he wouldn't mind doing the dishes. Butler agreed and Angelus and Artemis made there way to the staircase. Artemis looked over his shoulder at his brother. Angelus did look tired. He looked weary and looked older than he really was. Angelus looked up from staring at the stairs. He smiled at Artemis but something seemed so sad in Angelus's eyes. It scared him.
Angelus had always been so strong and restless. Angelus always had enough energy to finish the day. When they were younger Angelus always seemed to be full of energy and didn't go to sleep before midnight. Now Angelus was tired and starving himself. He seemed in this moment an old, lonely man and that was what seemed to be Angelus's future if things didn't change. Artemis jumped at the sound of a knock on the door and Angelus groaned.
"Who the hell is it now? Artemis get into bed for me please? Don't want you over exerting yourself or anything." He said as he turned and made his way back down the stairs. Artemis started walking back up again and as he reached the landing he walked along the banister.
"Danny!" Artemis heard and he looked down at the front door.
"Hey baby." Artemis stared at the man standing in the doorway. He was tall and muscular. He had blond hair, tanned skin, and green eyes. He had magazine boy written all over him.
"Danny what are you doing here? I haven't seen you in years." Angelus said and Artemis walked into the hall and stared down using the unlit hall to hide himself. He knew he shouldn't be listening in but well his brother had always been a thing of interest. Even when Artemis was little he had always sneaked around and tried to learn about his brother.
"I'm missed you, Angelus. I want you to take me back." Danny said stepping in the house. Angelus stepped backwards, Danny following after until Angelus was pushed against the railing of the staircase.
"Um Danny I...I" Angelus stammered "Look Danny this is neither the time or the place and it's nearing an unholy hour. I have to ask you to come back another time."
"Angelus, baby, come on. I know I've messed up before but I want you. It's taken me a long time to find you. Please don't turn me down now." Danny said taking a step closer to Angelus.
"Danny I have already asked you to leave once. Don't make me ask again. You know where the door is." Angelus said turned to the stairs and lifted his foot to head to his room. Danny didn't seem be willing to leave without a fight. He reached out and grabbed Angelus around the waist. Pulling him close Artemis was shocked to notice Danny grope his brother.
"Come on baby, you know you've missed this." Danny said and Artemis noticed a blush on Angelus's cheeks. Angelus pulled himself from the man.
"Danny please contain yourself. My brother is living here now and I will not have you doing that to me when he may walk in on it. If you really must be so persistent come here tomorrow around 7. You can join us for dinner and then I may discuss you and I getting back together." Angelus said and started up the stairs. Danny stood there for a moment then narrowing his eyes he turned and left the house. As Angelus started at the steps Artemis crept down the hall to his bedroom. He quickly changed and then crawled into the bed. Just as he settled Angelus opened the door.
"WHAT THE HELL DO ARE YOU TRYING TO PULL, HUH?" Angelus yelled.
"What are you talking about?" Artemis said with a trained expressionless face. He didn't look it on the outside but he was thoroughly scared of his brother. Angelus walked over to the side of the bed. Reaching out a hand he set the back of it against Artemis's cheek. SLAP! Angelus stared down at Artemis with narrowed eyes.
"I've told you one before Artemis. I am not an idiot so do not treat me as such. Stay out of my personal affairs." Angelus said with venom and Artemis turned back to his brother.
"Are you kidding me? Angelus how can I stay out of something like that? I don't know who the guy was but he's certainly not an adequate lover."
"You think I don't know that? It's none of your business to begin with so either shut up and mind your own business or get the hell out of my house!" Angelus yelled.
"Artemis who the hell was that?" Artemis asked completely ignoring his brother's words.
"What did I just tell you?"
"I have selective hearing now who was that?"
"I said it was none of your business!"
"Sorry? Didn't quite get that. Could you repeat it?" Artemis said and Angelus stared at him, red in the face and looking like he was on his last nerve. Then suddenly he just sighed and turned and set himself on the bed at Artemis's feet.
"How do you always do this to me?" Angelus asked shaking his head.
"Practice. Now, please, tell me who he was." Artemis and Angelus sighed again. He fell back and stared at the canopy of the bed.
"He's someone I met that I dated for a little while."
"How'd you end up with him? I mean usually you always dated a decent guy." Artemis said and Angelus turned onto his side. Kicking off his shoes he rested his hand in his raised palm and stared at Artemis.
"That's how. I was always with the decent guy. Do you know how boring they get? I wanted someone exciting, someone who knew how to have a good time. Then I met Danny and he was a nice guy...for awhile anyway. Then things got serious between us and he changed. I don't know why. I guess he thought that because things were serious I wouldn't leave him...funny thing is I didn't for a good while."
"Why not?"
Angelus stared at the comforter. "I was scared. He beat me a lot and forced me to sleep with him. He was always threatening that if I left him he would...kill you. I talked about you a lot and he realized how much I cared about you so he used that love against me."
"Then how'd you get away from him?"
"An old friend, Chad, showed up in a town not far from here and the first thing he did was come to see me. Danny had been trying to molest me again but the doorbell rang so he let me go. I opened the door and as soon as I did he noticed I was wreck. I quote, 'Oh my god Angelus what happened to you? You're clothes are torn and what are the bruises for? A new fashion style?' Then Danny came down the stairs. Completely ignoring Chad he grabbed my wrist, pulled me in for a kiss I didn't want, groped me, and then left. Chad watched him go then grabbed my wrist dragged me upstairs to a bathroom where he cleaned me up and said, 'You're never seeing him again.' He collected all of Danny's possessions and threw them out in the front yard. I was too out of it to stop him."
"Well I'm still alive so were Danny's threats just to keep you in line?"
"No, after explaining to Chad in hysterical sobs that I had to take Danny back or he would kill you, he pushed me down onto the bed and gave me a sedative. He told me to just feel better. When I was finally deemed fit to get out of bed he had set up a case against Danny. I to this day can't really remember what exactly happened, all I remember is sitting at the stand and testifying about what Danny had done and then him getting taken out of the courtroom in handcuffs. He got out a few years ago and he never called me, there were no threats on your life, and I thought I would never have to see him again. And he just showed back up tonight. Are you happy?"
Artemis set his head down on his knees. He was trying to digest all this new information. His brother (although he hated to admit it) was a very sweet man and how anyone could hurt him like that was beyond Artemis. His brother was always so in control. Even when being a sub in a relationship he had always maintained a hold onto the things that when on in the relationship. Standing there in front of the door Angelus had seemed so scared and so...well he just wasn't Angelus. He didn't like this. There was no way Artemis was ever going to let Danny touch his older brother again. He wouldn't stand for that.
Artemis looked up to see Angelus' hip. The beautiful curve that was there, covered by a piece of black clothes. His eyes slowed flowed about Angelus' long legs then back up to his hip. Artemis then looked slightly down, 'WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?' was the thought popped into Artemis' head. 'You're checking out your own brother.' Artemis mentally shook himself hoping that Angelus hadn't noticed. In a mixed blessing Angelus fell onto his stomach, staring at something on the desk across from the bed.
It was a mixed blessing because Angelus couldn't see Artemis looking him up and down but then Artemis got a very nice view of the rolling hill that was Angelus' ass. The plump body part looked scrumptious enough to grab. 'STOP IT! He's your brother. You are not supposed to look at him like that. And since when were you gay?' Passed through his head and then to his great relief Angelus sat up.
"I see you cut me out of the picture of us and our parents." Angelus said. Artemis came back to the here and now.
"Well at the time I was mad at you...for leaving." Artemis said.
"I don't really blame you. I am sorry about that." Angelus said and Artemis shrugged. Angelus then stared at the floor. Leaning down he placed his head on Artemis' shoulder. "What do I have to do get you to believe me?" Angelus asked and then lifted his eyes and stared his brother in the eye.
They both sat there staring and the looked changed in both their eyes. In a passionate and lustful trance their faces came closer. Reaching out a hand Angelus took Artemis face pulling him close as he let a tender kiss land on his brother's lips. 'What's going on?' Artemis asked himself as his brother opened his mouth and licked his bottom lip. Artemis opened his mouth as if an instinct. He had never done anything like this before. He had never even gave his mom a goodnight kiss let alone kiss his own brother in love that was hardly brotherly.
Artemis felt Angelus' tongue run past his lips as he was slowly pushed back into his pillow. Artemis let a small moan escape as his brother continued to roam around his mouth. 'It feels so weird...' the thought passed through his mind as he reached up a hand and ran it through his brother's silky locks 'and it's wrong on so many levels...' his other hand reached out to caress his brother's back 'but it also feels...right.' He felt Angelus' warm lips leave his and he stared up at his brother who stared back down at him.
They both heard the door open and they turned to look. Standing in the doorway with an odd look on his face was Butler. "Is something wrong?" He asked. Angelus stood up, picked up his shoes, and then turned to Butler and flashed one of his beautiful smiles.
"Of course not, Butler. Artemis and I were just talking. Well you should get some rest now Artemis. Goodnight." He said walked out of the room and down the hall.
'What the hell is happening?' Artemis thought.
YAY chappie four and I got a kiss in. Well I hope you like it. I rather do. I have plans! I do I tell you I do. And if all you readers are nice and send me reviews I may include a lemon seeing as I've been pondering whether I should do that or not. Hehehehe well I hope you liked reading it as much as I did writing it. Love ya,
