A/N Hm, I think minimal 'fluff' this time. More comedy, I think.

Holly sighed, and pinched her brow.

Then she stopped, and felt a little like Artemis, using one of his methods of relaxations. Silly. It almost worked too, but maybe larger hands with long, slim fingers could do the trick. Next time she's stressed for a reason that did not specifically involve Artemis, she'd have to ask him to do it for her.

She then tried to stop herself from coming up with lies to convince him to rub her temples.

But now, she knew where he was, and revenge was about to be initiated.

On the West wing, third floor, sat the man in question. He was shutting down his computers as fast as he could possibly muster. How could things get any more... what was the word he was looking for? Aggravating? Possibly.

"Juliet," he sighed, "this is clearly a misunderstanding." Butler chuckled from behind his younger sibling, but did his best to remain silent. Madam Ko had trained him to remained straight faced in the utmost horrifying times, not the most ridiculous, comical moments that he himself had mustered up with the help of none other than his protege.

"Oh, sure," she rolled her eyes, dragging the her vowels out to add sarcasm. How uncouth, he decided, then crossed his arms, "cause you totally didn't get a taste of elf flesh a few minutes ago, then play ring-around-the-rosie around the house for an hour?"

"What else was I supposed to do? Let her catch me? Lose?"

"Just admit it, you want some elf a-" Fortunately, she was cut off, otherwise Butler may have been... upset.

"Oh, so it's a game now? I'd say it's just good old fashioned revenge."

Everyone in the room swerved their heads to see the elf in question holding a weapon. What it was, exactly, Artemis never knew, because Butler wasn't fast enough to stop the stun-set blast from knocking him unconscious for several hours.

"That was pretty unnecessary," Juliet laughed, walking out with her brother, "but a nice touch."

"Thank you. Do you have any rope? I gotta tie me up some mud-boy."

"Yeah, I'll get you some."

After Juliet left with Butler, who had to go pack, Holly lifted Artemis with a hoist of strength, and plopped him down on his rotating chair. She always sort-of liked this chair. It looked comfy. She suddenly imagined herself sitting not technically in the chair, but on someone who was on the chair, and longing for it.

She didn't even care why. But she decided she wanted to do it. Artemis was unconscious, he wouldn't care or even know, and Juliet was probably going to some random sector of the house that was forever away.

She seated him down, and realized it may never have been the chair that looked comfortable.

As she laid him down, he released a sigh. Long and tired and warm. Warm? His breath had brushed up against the nape of her neck. She shivered, much the same as she had earlier that day. It was a... pleasurable shiver. Is that the way to describe it?

It felt warm. Overwhelmingly. Her mind numbed slightly, and she crawled onto his sleeping lap. Frond he was big. Really big. Tall, slim, he wasn't as thin as he used to be, sickly, weak. He had filled back out after the 'treatments.' The rest was up to his mind, and that's what he used best.

She held her body close to his, trying to take in his warmth like a force that could be drawn out. But her straw was too small. She couldn't get enough. She sort of wished that he were awake, allowing her to do this, forcing her to do this. She might even let him. After all, she was doing this now, wasn't she?

She sighed against his chest, which her head was pressed right up against now. His heartbeat thudded into her palm that held his hands tightly.

She sighed again, saddened really. This was something that wasn't meant to be, to happen. Ever. This sort of thing never worked out. She knew that far too well.

And despite her rationale, she couldn't help but disagree with herself. She wanted it. A lot. This warmth was something she wanted to feel until she dies. She felt like she was dying without it already.

She withheld a whine as she got off her more than comfortable mount and recomposed herself. She frowned and feigned a temper. Crossing her arms,she tapped her foot a few times. Good. She felt her usual self returning. What was that?

What was what? I never did anything.

Exactly. Nobody will know. I won't even know.

Know what?

Of course, Foaly knew. Now he wasn't laughing. Now he was watching with concern. Worry for his friend. He needed to talk to her. Someone. Soon.

So he called her, and watched on the screen as she picked up.

"Holly."

"Yes, Foaly," she responded. A little fast, nervous. Was she caught? The first time she makes a half-move, she's caught? Really?

"Things are getting interesting."

"Oh?"

"Yes. Some circumstances have arrived and you are particularly an interesting subject of importance."

"Right. Do I need to come back, or can this be done here? 'Cause I am entirely legally allowed to stay right where I am for the next 2 weeks, so-"

"Yes, yes Holly. This is... personal between you, me, and Artemis."

Oh yes. She was certainly caught. But he didn't have to know that she knew.

"What in Frond's name are you talking about Donkey-boy?"

"Holly, I'm talking about you indisputable infatuation with a certain Mud-Man! You know exactly what I'm talking about, and if Trouble finds something out, you're probably going to be fired, I'm going to despise my job and-"

"Foaly, where you..." she said, looking for a camera, her face flushing red. AGAIN.

It was then, she felt an anger build up inside her. One almost exactly like when Trouble had near attacked her. She felt violated. Her one moment of showing weakness, her one moment she decided to enjoy the warmth of another's embrace, truly enjoy it...

She disconnected immediately and stormed out to find Juliet to find out where she was to sleep.

She just wanted to be left alone. To finally enjoy herself at a whole new level she hadn't had in years.

A/N Holly's pissed now. No joking. And I lied, a little fluff. I dunno when I'll post again. Review, and I hope you've enjoy so far!

PS Thank you to all my reviewers, and a call-out to SHTOOBS for the best name out there!
