Title: A Centaur Can Love Too Ya Know

Summery: The super genius' of AF start to fall for one another! It's bliss for them, but what of everyone else? How will the rest of the gang take the news? Not that it matter's :)

Disclaimer: I own nothing of Artemis Fowl... but I wish I owned Artemis.

Authoress' Note: Now... I typed this chapter up because someone coughtrunkZycough had to have it. So it's a little rushed. But I did my best. The last scene might disturb some people... but I'm not sure. Oh well... (shrugs) I don't think it will... I'm just saying is all.

Chapter Eight: Whoops. Locks are there for a reason.

Artemis stood just outside the bathroom door, scolding himself for his actions. True. He had planned on wooing the centaur during his stay. Or at least flirting a bit. But not kissing Foaly on the first night of his little holiday. That had to be one of the most stupid things he had ever done.

Artemis sighed and shook his head. His confident and flirtatious air gone. Oh that had been stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stu-?

"Artemis?"

The genius's mantra of "Stupid" was cut short as Foaly trotted out of the bathroom, almost running the boy over. The centaur stopped in front of Artemis, staring at the boy with confused hazel eyes.

"Artemis?" he said again, watching as the Irish boy slowly met his eyes.

Artemis stood tall. Or tried too. He wasn't feeling at all confident.

"Yes Foaly?"

The centaur was silent for a moment. Obviously thinking about what he was going to say. Artemis waited. Trying very hard not to faint. After a few moment's of uncomfortable silence, the older genius spoke up.

"Why did you... kiss me?"

Again, silence settled.

Artemis opened and closed his mouth a few times. Inwardly cursing himself, for his sudden inability to compose a simple sentence. (AN: Thank you TrunkZy) What was he going to say? "Foaly I kissed you then because I'm secretly in love with you and you've been stupidly ignorant to my advances I got kind of... impatient." No that was stupid. "Foaly I kissed you because I find you absolutely sexy and I couldn't help myself." Artemis shook his head. Causing Foaly to raise an eyebrow at him.

The younger genius sighed, his slender shoulder's sagging.

"I'm not sure." he muttered, lowering his eyes to the brown carpet, blushing deeply. "I don't know why I did it."

The centaur smiled. Artemis was so cute when he was embarrassed.

"Well you must know, unless it was just a spontaneous kind of thing."

Artemis shook his head.

"No... no it wasn't. I just... "

Foaly gently tilted the boys head up.

"Just what?"

Artemis shivered at the contact. Just the older mans hand touching his chin was wonderful.

"I just wanted to." Artemis cursed himself for that lame excuse. How idiotic did that sound?.

Foaly was taken back for a moment then smiled.

"Well in that case, I wish it hadn't have ended so quickly."

Artemis's eyes widened. What?.

Foaly took this chance to lean in and press his lips to Artemis's. Hoping he wasn't going to be pushed back. Though, surprisingly. Artemis gave a happy little sigh and kissed back, opening his mouth before Foaly even had a chance to ask for permission. The centaur's tongue swept into the wet cavern. Kissing Artemis hungrily as the boy wrapped his slim arms around Foaly's neck.

The fairy genius lost himself in the blissfully sweet taste that was Artemis Fowl the Second. Looping his muscular arms around the boys waist and crushing the other to him, Foaly deepened the kiss, claiming the Irish boy for himself.

Oh how he'd dreamt of this moment. And it was even better than anything he could have thought up.

Foaly growled, sliding his hands down to the Fowl heir's arse. Grabbing it roughly. Artemis gave a muffled squeak, but didn't do much else as the older man lifted the boy up. Artemis wrapped his legs around the human half of the centaur, pressing their bodies together. Well the human parts anyway.

Due to lack of air, the two parted. Barely though. Artemis rested his forehead against Foaly's, breathing heavily.

"I... I never thought you'd have it in you." said Artemis finally, after a brief and comfortable silence.

Foaly smirked.

"Are you glad I did?"

Artemis smiled.

"Of course I am, can't you tell?"

Foaly opened his mouth to answer, when a shriek cut through the air. Artemis and Foaly turned their head's to wards the entrance to the living room. Where a very shocked Holly Short stood. Her hazel eyes as wide as dinner plates and her mouth hanging open.

There we go. I said the next chapter was going to be longer didn't I? And it was... kind of. Hope it's ok. Review please. Because they make me happy.
