I head back to my hotel room after the talk with Artemis. I'm not sure if i've fully convinced him to stay out of my business, so i'll have to stay vigilant for the next few days.
~*~
I usually have nightmares, nightmares that wake me up in a bed of sweat, but tonight, i had what was probably the most horrifying dream of them all.
I'm painting in my secret space, the one i go to to colour all across the walls, the place i go to lay down and stare at the stars, the one place i feel safe crying and being myself. I'm usually alone here, but this time, Artemis's smiling face stands beside me as i plaster steady lines of white on the concrete.
I whip the paintbrush side to side on the wall, painting yet another masterpiece of my late best friend, Luna. I loved her deeply.
Beside me, Artemis lifts his arm and places it across my shoulders, unexpectedly pulling me close to him. I giggle and fall on him. I don't feel repulsed by being touched, not by Artemis. He smiles down at me and his dips his head forward, i do too, and our lips meet, soft and calming, loving, needing, everything i ever wanted.
I turn around so my chest is facing his and pull him closer, i place a hand on his jawline and hold him. He wraps his arms around my waist, and the kiss deepens. Artemis finally pulls away to give us both a breath of fresh air.
I gaze at his handsome features, his different coloured eyes, one ocean blue, the other a complex combination of brown, green, and gold, glowing with the same love i feel in my chest. His perfect smile, a smile that could light up the world. He leans into my touch on his cheek.
"We need to remember to breathe, Y/N" He uses my real name.
I bite my lip, "Oxygen is optional at this point"
I pull him back into the kiss again and he eagerly complies.
I am in love.
Love, my undoing, the thing i have worked so hard to keep at bay, the thing i fear most.
