Yes, I know this chapter took a very long time, but it's finally written. I never see fics written like this, so I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the end of this chapter…

DISCLAIMER: I do not own YuGiOh or Artemis Fowl. Man, I wish I did, though…


Chapter 7

Common Sense

Seto Kaiba may have been dubbed The Ice Prince by the tabloids, but he was still a teenage boy. A teenage boy with a very fast internet connection, and a large hard drive, among other things. As he was rummaging through a drawer in his bedside table, Artemis came up behind him and looked over his shoulder.

"What are you looking for?" he asked curiously.

"You'll see once I find it... aha! There it is," Kaiba said triumphantly, holding up a small bottle of something. Artemis raised an eyebrow.

"And that would be...?"

"This, my dear Artemis, is lotion."

"What on Earth do you need that for?"

"Let me ask you something: Do you want to be able to walk tomorrow?" Artemis felt his cheeks flush light pink as he nodded.

"I thought so. That bodyguard of yours is pretty observant. Now, the most important question: how do you want to be?"

"EXCUSE ME?" Kaiba looked a bit irritated at Artemis's response.

"You really are a virgin, aren't you?" he sighed, "OK. You can be on your back, on your stomach, on your knees... do you want me to go on?" Artemis looked a bit shocked.

"Whatever's easiest, I suppose. And how did you learn all of this?"

"The internet is a very interesting place. You can learn many things on it. Also, I've had a boyfriend before." Artemis gave him his best glare, but it was quickly replaced by a look of shock.

"Seto, wait! We can't do this!" Everything that Kaiba had ever learned in Health class suddenly came back to him.

"You're right. We can't. First of all, I don't have any condoms. Secondly, I've had a previous partner. Both of us need to get tested. First thing in the morning, we'll go do that, okay?" Artemis gave him a small smile and a kiss on the cheek.

"Okay. I'm glad we came to our senses before anything bad happened." He looked down at himself, realizing that he was naked.

"Erm, do you have any pajamas I can borrow?"
