Chapter 6: Confirmations and Dancing
Fowl
Manor,
3:07AM
Artemis stood at his window looking at the moon. He didn't quite understand why he felt so guilty about the event that had transpired a little more than three hours ago. Thoughts of regret and rejection tore his world apart. Was this really what his lover wanted… or was it just the effects of the alcohol in his system. He had no answer. This was happening a lot lately where he just couldn't understand what was going on with his life any more.
Kerishi woke to the lack of warmth next to him. He sat up in bed his hair flowing over his chest and back. He felt around for a pair of boxers, slipping them on his waist before walking over to the Irish teen in the window. The Asian wrapped his arms around Artemis' waist, resting his head on his shoulder. "Are you ok, love?"
Artemis looked over and gave a nod, "yes, I'm fine." His brain may have believed what he said was true but his heart disagreed. The Irish boy turned away his eyes filled with remorse.
Kerishi sighed and looked at his feet. He was about to speak but Artemis beat him to it.
"Are you sure last night was what you really wanted? That you weren't just under the influence of the wine… or… that you wanted to give yourself to me?" Artemis said sadly. He knew that sentence made hardly any sense, however made to move to correct him self.
"I think… I knew what we were doing… And I seriously have no regrets… I mean, I completely and totally love you. And well I don't want you to think that maybe I tried to take advantage of you…" Kerishi spilled out what both of them were thinking. "I- er, man, I'm sorry. I don't mean to sound so stupid…"
Artemis however just smiled and took Kerishi's hands in between his, "I was thinking the same thing… but hearing you say it… makes me see… It wasn't just a spontaneous fling. If we both think the same thing… we were made for each other… to be together like this… forever and for always…"
Kerishi smiled all his regrets melted away like snow on a spring morning. The Asian leaned over and pressed his lips to Artemis' softly, savoring the tingling sweet taste of peppermint and cinnamon. He could and would never get enough of his lover's unique taste.
Saint Bartleby's School for Young Gentlemen,
January 3rd
Kerishi sat happily on the benches in PE. Today they were to be taught how to dance. Normally he really hated this part at his old schools in Japan because they were coed classes. But not here; this was an all boys school! He dearly hoped he'd be able to partner up with Artemis if he didn't excuse himself from this class like he normally did.
As class started Kerishi still saw no sign of his lover so he got paired up with another boy. The boys name was Richard McKinley. He clearly couldn't dance and stepped on Kerishi's feet a few times during the beginning of the class. As they began to dance a second time the doors to the PE room were opened. Kerishi didn't notice.
Richard felt someone tap his shoulder. "Wha?" he turned around. He was confronted with Artemis Fowl himself.
Artemis smirked slightly, "may I cut in?"
"Uh… Sure" Richard slowly backed away from Kerishi, who glomped Artemis with a small squeal.
Kerishi and Artemis danced off clearly the most talented pair in the class. The music changed again replacing the slightly hyperactive beat with an excerpt from a piano medley of tunes from various Broadway musicals. It started out slow enough then sped up. Kerishi was laughing halfway through it as he clung to Artemis. The music slowed down again and they went back into a soft waltz until the music changed into a jazzy tune. They were constantly changing dance steps. At the end Artemis spun Kerishi out then back into his arms and allowed him to lean back almost as if fainting; in all it was quite dramatic.
Neither had noticed but earlier the class had stopped to watch the two lovers. They were surprised to see the two dancing so intimately. No one else had managed that. It was always done forcedly. But these two seemed to have no problem dancing so close in fact they seemed to be having fun. Whispers broke out as the song ended.
Kerishi clung to Artemis his face turning deep red with embarrassment.
Artemis just sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose in a way that clearly said, 'why me'.
The class eventually stopped whispering and everyone just walked off as the next song began to play.
DPD: Yah, yah, yah! I know Artemis is OOC in this but I thought the dance scene would be cool. R&R please!
