My Heart for My Master

Author's Note: Hello again, I have come back to write some more! This time it is an Artemis Fowl fic. And I do not own Artemis Fowl….I just read the books…and enjoy them. So enjoy and review!

Butler drove into the driveway leading up to Fowl Manor after he had picked up Artemis from school. Or so that is what Artemis's parents believed. Artemis despised that school, saying that if he and the administrators were to take an exam, he would pass while they failed. Butler smirked when Artemis had used his mother's voice through a recorder to tell the principals that he was now home schooled. Butler would fake taking Artemis to school while instead he merely drove around, enjoying the company of his master.

Butler opened up the front door of the manor as Artemis walked in and was greeted by an embrace from his cheerful mother.

"Welcome home, Arty!" said his mother as she buried her head into Artemis's hair, taking a whiff of the scent from his shampoo.

"Mother, if your purpose in life is to break my spine and choke me then you are about to succeed," exclaimed Artemis. His mother apologized, letting go of the embrace and asking how his day at school was. Butler watched the simple son/mother time and chuckled every time Artemis had made a smart comment, only to have glares shot at him from his master.

"Well, I am glad you are home and enjoyed school," his mother said, ruffling Artemis's hair into a mess before taking her attention to Butler, "And thank you as always for bringing him back safely." She then walked into the living room to spend time with her husband and do yoga exercises.

Butler gave Artemis some company as his master got on his laptop. A grin appeared on Artemis's face when he saw he had an e-mail from Holly Short. For two years now, Holy and Artemis sent e-mails to one another, talking about their lives and recalling the adventures they had. Butler always noticed that after reading one of these e-mails, his master was in a much better mood. This, of course, made it to where he couldn't help but smile himself.

After Artemis had replied to the e-mail from his best friend, Butler asked: "So how is she?"

Artemis looked at his bodyguard who was also his best friend, "She is good as always. She misses us."

"Well then, we should pay her a visit sometime shouldn't we?" suggested Butler as he stood to ruffle his young master's hair. Artemis let out what seemed to be a growl, trying to pry off Butler's strong hand from his hair. Once he realized he had failed, he sighed. "Does everyone simply enjoy messing up my hair?"

Butler chuckled, "Sorry." Once he removed his hand, he winked at the teenager and walked to the door. "I will leave you be, just call if you need anything." When Artemis answered with a nose, he walked out, closing the door behind him.

Artemis realized after 5 minutes of Butler's absence that he felt alone in his bedroom. Occasionally he would lecture himself about this stupid emotion, he soon realized it wasn't in his head, it was in his heart.

Even though he was sixteen now, Artemis had never had a girlfriend. His mother and Juliet would bug him from time to time, asking if he had himself a little crush. Even Holly had asked a couple of times if had found a mate. The only person that never questioned him about such things was Butler and he was grateful of that.

After visiting with Juliet, Butler when into his own room, setting himself down in a comfortable chair and letting out a heavy sigh. He glanced over at the window noticing the brilliant color of twilight that filled the sky.

For three weeks now or maybe it was eternity, he had a strong feeling towards his master. He felt odd with this emotion, and noticed he didn't want to be far away from Artemis. He started to remember the adventures they had with the LEP and how courageous Artemis had been. He noticed that afterward, Artemis seemed more relaxed and mature, taking a break from being a thief. Sometimes he admired his young master who was becoming a ma, but there was something else he felt. An emotion that lurked deep within himself and it was only towards Artemis that he felt this way.
