"Arty's Player"
Hello to all my little lovelies. Here's my new set of wonderful characters with my fav Irish stunner. He's always good for a bit of fun and that's just what this story is. Fun. Not some major production. I write what ever I've been thinking about so if some of it's a bit weird, that's just the way my mind works ok? Don't get irate about it.
These are some characters that I have actually had in my head for a while, and if you read my first A/N you would no that they are loosely based upon some of my friends. (And yes Pagan, o the similarities keep coming!) If you don't understand some of the calls that's just because it's a PJ don't worry there really not that important.
Warning: This story contains some/a lot of SLASH. Really depends what chap. But yeah for all of you out there, who don't like that stuff don't read. OH and Artemis is a little OOC sometimes, that's just because it's easier to use the stuff around me than having to change it just for one spoilt little criminal mastermind.
A/N: Ok, this is just kind of a filler chapter, the next chapter is where every little weird bit in my story will come to make so kind of sense, I hope. Oh the next chapter will be my last before I go away. You want to know where? I'M GOING TO EUROPE! Chant it with me people. I'M GOING TO EUROPE! I'M GOING TO EUROPE! I'M GOING TO EUROPE! I'M GOING TO EUROPE! I'M GOING TO EUROPE! I'M GOING TO EUROPE! I'M GOING TO EUROPE! I'M GOING TO EUROPE! I'M GOING TO EUROPE! I'M GOING TO EUROPE! YAYAY!
Well that's really enough babble from me here comes the disclaimer……….
Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own any of the originals but the rest are mine, all mine. I love these little buggers.
And roll the story……….

Beer, Butler and Bad, Bad Boys
The party was in full swing, people from all over the hunter had turned up. Lawry, Kat and Matt were standing around watching as Artemis tried to get one of the more unruly boys off the crystal chandelier hanging in the dining room.
"Do you think he regrets ever inviting us over?" Lawry asked Kat.
"Well probably not US. Maybe the people WE then invited, and the people they invited." Kat smirked.
"Nah, it's his first true welcome party he should enjoy it, eventually." Matt said grinning evilly at the crowd of people gathered around the huge bar set up in the Snooker room.
It really was quite a gathering. There were people from as far away as the Central coast and then there where the regulars from Tremont. Really it was turning out to be one of the biggest parties of the year.
Lawry looked over to where the dark hair boy was trying to hide one of the more valuable pieces of artwork from the clutches of a group of rugby boys from the Terrace, who were coincidently trying to grab his arse when he bent down.
"Humph." Lawry grunted. Admittedly Artemis did look a little like a chick with his long hair pulled back into a pony tail at the based of his neck, but that was no excuse for a heap of drunken imbeciles to be grabbing at His boy's package.
Wow! Hold up. Since when was Artemis his? He was getting way to attached to that gorgeous boy.
Or maybe it was just the alcohol taking over his mind, yes that was it. Blame it all on the alcohol
It wasn't as if Artemis had actually said anything to him since that kiss two days ago. In fact other than that one hand grab, on Lawry's behalf, he had hardly touched the boy. Let alone spent enough time with him to become possessive.
Then again Lawry was the protective type so he swallowed his last mouthful of beer and walked away from Kat and Matt who were now both caught up in a discussion about the pro's and con's of tattoos. Hmm, riveting.
As Lawry came closer to where Artemis was standing now cornered by the group of jocks he watched as one of the bigger boys grabbed Artemis and slam him up against the wall attacking the smaller boys neck with his mouth.
Lawry felt a twinge in his stomach as he watched Artemis being groped. He was filled with an overwhelming desire to break something, namely the drunken bastards neck.
With a grunt he surge forward through the large group of horny boys. He wasn't actually sure what he was going to do other than make the idiot stop violating Artemis's body. He had almost managed to break through the group of on lookers when a huge bloke who looked to be totally trashed bared his way.
"Hey you can wait in line like the rest of us."
"Yeah right, like I am going to watch you make fools of yourselves." Lawry elbowed the oaf in the stomach and used his weight to push the wasted footballer over. The guy gave a small yelp that was suddenly over powered by a very loud and high-pitched whine.
Lawry turn to where Artemis was, hoping that he was not hurt, but Artemis was fine standing looking down on the boy who had previously been sucking his neck like a vampire on cocaine. Behind him stood a very large scary looking man holding a rather large gun that was pointed at the boy lying on the floor howling like a dog.
"Thank you Butler." Artemis said like he was thanking the man for giving him a cup of tea.
"No problem Master Artemis. Anytime."
"So, anymore of you want to try and attack me? No? Didn't think so. Now if you would mind picking up your friend and dragging his sorry arse OUT OF MY HOUSE!"
Artemis seemed very dangerous standing there with the Man-Giant behind him, his eye's glaring cold hard icicles at the boy's surrounding him. Most of them looked to sober up relatively quickly, but that might have been because they had just realised that they had been watching one of their mates half raping another bloke.
But Lawry saw that the boy was slowly wringing his hands together behind his back. Gawd he must have been scared, have that beast attach him like that, Lawry thought. Artemis may act like he didn't care but Lawry doubted if he was use to people treating him like just a piece of flesh to be played with.
With a final shove, he broke through the sunned crowd, and was suddenly confronted with a very large gun pointing in the middle of his forehead.
"Umm, Artemis?" Lawry beseeched the Irish boy, "Would you please tell your giant to get his gun AWAY from my head, please!"
"What? Oh" Artemis snapped out of his dazed state and looked at the boy standing next to him. "Butler put you stunner away, his a friend."
"Yes Master Artemis." The Body Guard lowered his weapon but Lawry didn't feel too much relief. The large menace was still standing very close to him, glaring at him as if to warn him off hurt his charge. Yeah Right! Like Lawry would do that, he had just seen what that man could do if someone touched Artemis without permission.
Lawry felt Artemis move closer to him and he unconsciously grabbed the boy's hand, interlacing their fingers together. He caught the glint in the guard's eye, and was wondering if Artemis knew that he was putting Lawry in quite a lot of danger by standing so close. There was no one nearby now tha5t the large crowd had cleared off, and Lawry was feeling only the slightest bit nervous.
"WEEEEE!" Everyone turn to watch as a blond girl jumped from the second story of the house into the pool wearing only, what looked to be a shower curtain wrapped around her slim body. Everyone standing around laughed, damn drunken teenagers. A/N: That ones for you Laura. ;-)
"Urggg. That curtain's from the blue spare room, Butler will you be so kind as to go and retrieve it please?"
"Yes Master Artemis." Did he SAY anything else? Lawry received a warning glace as the Big man wondered over to wear the girl was trying to get out of the pool, with one hand he hauled her out and ushered her through one of the many doors surrounding the pool area.
"Are you ok?" Lawry turned to the very quite boy, still holding his hand.
"What? Oh, I'm fine. I just need to do some major yelling to get this anger out of my system, know any good racist homophobes I can go beat up?" Artemis seemed to be back into his usually sarcastic self, but he still held onto Lawry's hand like a lifeline.
"Come on, I need to get away from this noise. And I've got something that will help you calm down." Lawry gave a secretive smile. He pulled the still shocked boy away from the main room and up a flight of stairs into a deserted corridor. Lawry pulled out a small joint and lit up. A serene expression crossed his face as he expelled the smoke through his nose. He looked over to where the gorgeous boy stood watched him through bland eyes.
"Are you going to hog it all, or do I get some too?" He asked.
"Sure." Lawry handed over the drug, and watched mesmerized at the boy elegantly put the end into his mouth and took a long drag, ice blue eye's never leaving his own.
Lawry watched, as Artemis had before, as the calming effect of the marijuana took effect.
"Hmm, I haven't been high in weeks." Artemis said conversationally as he slid down the wall, to sit on the soft carpet.
"I know the feeling." Lawry said sitting down next to him.
"Do you like me?"
Where the fuck did that come from!
"Uh?" Yes, very eloquent Lawry.
"Do you want me?"
Oh, Artemis was one of those people who asked random questions when they got high. Lawry could deal with that, it wasn't as if Artemis actually wanted his questions answered truthfully.
"Mhmm, but only if I get to be top."
"Ha ha," Artemis seemed satisfied with the answer and they lapsed back into comfortable silence only moving to pass the joint.
"Kiss me."
"Maybe tomorrow."
"It wasn't a question." Lawry turned to look at the other boy he looked serious. And not that spaced out, Lawry's working brain added.
"Kiss me." That sounded like a command. Maybe the Irish boy wasn't as gone as Lawry thought.
"Why?"
"Cause I want you to."
"What if I don't want to?"
"You want to." He sounded smug.
"Are you a mind reader?"
"No, but you said that you wanted me, that's proof enough."
"I was only answering you questions. I didn't think that you were playing that much attention."
"Baby, it takes more that one joint for me to get wasted. Kiss me!" The boy was getting more and more commanding.
"Fine, but it's your fault if I get beaten to a pulp by your manservant."
"Butler? Why would he try to hurt you?"
"I get the impression that he doesn't like people touching his little boy."
"His just doing his job and don't think that you're getting off that easily. KISS ME NOW!"
"Yes Master Artemis." Lawry mocked and lent in so that his lips were millimeters from Artemis's. He kept his chocolate eyes locked on the blue orbs of the other boy. Lawry moved forward so that the remaining between the two was closed. His lips moved ever so softly across the moist lips of the other boy, he held there for a few seconds before he withdraw slightly.
"That was not a kiss."
"Then show me what a kiss is."
Artemis never could resist a challenge.
