Artemis
*Knock* *Knock*
I woke up to the sounds of someone knocking loudly on the door. Opening my eyes I looked around to find myself in bed. In Aarons bed none the less.
Recalling the events of last night I looked toward the couch in the corner of the room and sure enough there he was. I watched as Aaron clumsily tried to get his legs untangled from the blanket we shared the night before.
After making it to Aarons room last night he laid me on the bed while he showered and let's just say when he came out I knew there was no way I would be able to share a bed with him.
So before he could catch me drooling I grabbed a blanket off the end of the bed and made my way to the couch.
Of course, Aaron had to stubbornly refuse to let me sleep on the couch, but I told him it was his room and he should sleep in his own bed.
In the end, he said since I wanted to spend the night with him, he would stay on the couch with me until I fell asleep. We ended up talking for a while about anything and everything. The last thing I remember was making him promise that he would let me see his cat soon. I should have known he would move me to bed after I fell asleep.
'Clever little-' my thoughts were interrupted when the knocking turned into someone literally yelling the word 'knock' over and over again. That's when I knew who the dummy at the door was.
"Knock! Knock! Knock! I swear if someone doesn't open this door I will walk straight in! Artemissssss!"
Rolling my eyes. I watched as Aaron finally won his fight with the blanket and was now making his way to the door.
"Ah, Apollo good morning!" Aaron said dryly as he opened the door.
"Good morning. Now if you'll excuse me I believe you have someone of mine in here." Apollo said pushing past Aaron.
I sat myself up in the bed only to reach for my head as a wave of dizziness hit me.
I felt Apollo by my side.
"Art! Yeah look at me, are you okay?" he asked worriedly moving my hand from my face.
Shaking away the dizziness, I was left with a slight headache.
"Yeah, I'm fine just a bit dizzy. Haha anyway since when was I known as someone of yours?" I asked looking over at him.
He looked at me confused.
"Since birth," he said looking at my quizzingly before he looked back at Aaron who was now at the end of the bed.
"Did you do something to my Arty?" Apollo asked glaring at the innocent Aaron.
I smacked his shoulder.
"Shut up he didn't do anything Apollo! Now, why are you here, is breakfast ready?" I asked as my stomach growled.
"How am I supposed to know? I came straight here as soon as I woke up." He said taking a seat beside me.
I sighed.
"Hey Snow, don't worry I'll go check, okay? Just stay here." Aaron said smiling brightly at me.
I nodded.
"Aww isn't he just hubby material!" Apollo said making kissy faces.
I glared.
"Hey, I said hubby not mate!" He said holding up his hands in defense.
"Whatever. Why are you in here again?" I asked laying back on the pillow.
"What do you mean?! I came to check on my stubbornly sick big sister!" he said dramatically.
I rolled my eyes.
"I'm not sick, my energy just hasn't come back yet from last night. Anyhow what else did you want, I know there's more."
He laid down next to me on the edge of the bed and turned so we were face to face.
"You're right. I'm gonna ask Serena out on a date tonight to the karaoke place and I'm a little nervous. What if she says no? What if she says yes and hates the way I sing live! I don't think I could take it Art!" he rambled.
I looked at him blankly.
Then I karate chopped him on the head.
"Ow, what was that for?" He whined.
"For being a doofus," I said making him pout.
I sighed.
"Gosh, you've always been such a worrywart but really with Serena? Come on Apollo, she loves you. Even more than a fan now! She loves you as her mate. And you know why?" I asked making him shrug.
"I'll tell you why because you're a catch you doof! You make her laugh and smile and have you seen the way she looks at you?! Her eyes hold so much love and admiration that I've even seen her pinch herself more than once just so she can make sure being with you isn't just a dream. Because you Apollo is her dream come true. She cherishes every moment you guys spend together and I have no doubt that she would love to go out on a date with you." I said with a smile.
Apollo smiled.
"You know even with this power I've never been able to see my own future, but I can honestly say when I look into her eyes I can see it, Art. She's my happy ending."
"She's the one I wish to experience everything with, the good days and the bad, she's the one that makes me smile every time I wake up, the one I wish to tell all of my secrets to because I'm going to love her until the day I die." He declared.
"But our past...is-" he strutted.
"Shit. I know." I said with a chuckle.
"Yeah that. But it's also something we've never told anyone before and I don't want her to look at me any differently." Apollo said letting out a sigh.
I understood what he meant. That time in our lives affected us all in different ways and we've never gotten close to anyone enough to feel comfortable to tell them about it. We've never really cared about anyone else. To us, it was just the three of us against the world, but now we're around people that seem to care about us and it almost feels like we finally belong somewhere. And we don't want to ruin it because of what we had to go through in the past.
"I get it. But maybe that's what we need in order for us to move on. To finally let everything out because Apollo if you love her...don't keep any secrets from her. Trust your heart and open up to her." I said placing my hand on his chest.
Apollo stayed quiet for a moment obviously thinking it over.
"Okay. I will but you have to tell Aaron."
"I-" I began.
"Promise me Artemis. Look I said I would figure out a way for you two to be together and I will. Just promise me you won't give up on what you two have and the future you two could have together. Please." Apollo pleaded.
I sighed.
I could only nod my head because I wasn't sure if I would be able to lie to him. I trust Apollo I do, with all my heart, but I don't trust myself. Not when it comes to Aaron.
"Good!" Apollo exclaimed.
"Lol go and ask your mate out on that date already, Loser!" I said pushing his shoulder.
He chuckled.
"Yeah, I will!" He said getting up from the bed.
"Your date might be a little delayed, it seems like we're snowed in," Aaron said from the doorway.
He was holding a tray of food and smirking at me as if he knew something I didn't.
"Snowed in? Gosh, how bad is it?" Apollo asked worriedly.
"It's pretty bad, I would say this one made it snow a good 10 inches last night." He said gesturing to me.
I was taken aback.
"Me?" I asked sitting back up in the bed.
Apollo looked back at me confused.
"Yup, I stayed up for a little while; after you fell asleep to see if your lavender clouds would fade and the snow would stop, but they didn't. Honestly, I don't know how you could feel anxious in your sleep Snowflake." Aaron said as he walked further into the room.
"Anxious?" Apollo asked looking at Aaron.
"Wait you think snowing means-" Apollo began but I elbowed him in his side.
He looked down at me amused.
I sent him a glare.
"Hey but Apollo don't worry I got some guys clearing the driveway and the roads as we speak! They should be done within the next hour or so. In the meantime, there is breakfast downstairs." Aaron said as he placed the tray on the bed.
"Alright, thanks! Take care of my sister, she's not feeling the best today so make sure she doesn't try to push her self!" Apollo said quickly as he ran out of the room.
I rolled my eyes at the now-closed door before looking back at Aaron.
"I'm fine you know," I said folding my arms.
He gave me a small smile and came closer to my side.
"Hey, I wanted to apologize, and thank you." He said softly as he tucked in a curl that fell from my bun.
I looked at him confused.
"For what?"
"Well for one I'm sorry for making us fall in the river last night and I'm so sorry you got hurt having to protect my pack members. I should have been able to figure out how to deal with the situation but honestly, without you, I don't know what would have happened to them and for that, I want to say thank you." He said rubbing my arm.
I chuckled.
"I'm sure you would have figured out a way to protect them. Look you're a great Alpha and I can tell you love your pack and care for everyone so never think that kindness is a weakness. Listen for as long as I'm here let me share your burdens, we can handle them...together. Okay?" I said looking into his eyes.
"And the state I'm in now is completely my fault I haven't practiced using my sheld in long distances on so many people before; plus it wasn't like I didn't want to do it anyway. So don't apologize and you never have to thank me, it's the least I can do for you." I said mumbling the last part as I squeezed his hand gently.
He nodded his head.
"I feel like since you got here you've become like my missing piece. You're are truly my rare little Snowflake and I will always be mesmerized by your beauty inside and out." He said and kissed my hand.
I could feel my face and ears heat up as I tried to move my eyes away from him.
He laughed.
"Well, I've taken the whole day off so we can hang out together! So first things first breakfast in bed!" He said excitedly grabbing the tray from the end of the bed and placed it on my lap.
"Oh, you didn't have to take the whole day off I can take care of myself."
"I know you can but let's just say it's to calm my own nerves. Besides hanging out with you is the best part of my day, a whole day with you sounds like a dream come true!" He said plopping down beside me on the bed.
"Well fine, you're sharing some of this food with me though right?" I asked pointing at the tray of food.
There were sausages, bacon, french toast, waffles, and scrambled eggs piled on the plates.
"Yup I'll eat some of it," he said taking a piece of bacon off the plate.
"So what would you like to do today? I would say we can do anything you want, but you still look a bit pale and tired so I don't think you should be leaving the bed much." He said reaching to touch my forehead.
"Blah stop it!" I said smacking his hand away.
"Don't be like that Snow I just wanna see if you have a fever!" He said reaching again.
"Fine yes, I have a small fever but I can already feel it going down, okay?" I asked before stuffing a fork full of waffles in my mouth.
He looked at me quizzingly before getting up from the bed.
"Wh-ere a-re y-ou goin?" I asked with my mouth full.
He turned around before opening the door.
"I'm going to get the thermometer and some medicine."
"What why?! I don't wanna take any nasty medicine!" I whined.
"It won't be nasty. I'll get some ginger ale for you too." He tried.
I sighed.
"Fine but get a bunch of blankets and movies while you're down there!" I said excitedly.
"Copy that Ms.Snow!" He said opening the door.
"Chop chop Sergent Dimples," I said before getting back into my food.
By the time he came back I had given up on forcing any more food down and set the tray aside after I made him a small plate with a little of everything on it and I placed it on his nightstand.
He stumbled back in the room with a bunch of blankets around his neck, a stack of movies in one hand, some under his arm, and even one CD in his mouth. Finally, he held a bottle of medicine and a thermometer in the other hand.
Before I could move to help him, he shuffled quickly over to the bed and let go of all the movies making them all scattered on the bed.
I moved the tray to the nightstand and scooted so I could look at all the movies he brought.
"Alright I got everything you asked for, are you done eating?" He asked looking at the tray that still had food on it.
"Haha yeah, I don't have much of an appetite right now. My stomach is a little upset." I said embarrassedly.
"Aww well, it's a good thing I got you this ginger ale. This medicine should make you feel better too the pack doctor suggested it." He said as he took off all the blankets from around his neck and reached in his sweatpants pocket to gave me the ginger ale.
"Do I really have to take the medicine? I honestly feel myself getting better already!" I said but then a thermometer was placed in my mouth.
I glared up at Aaron only to see him smiling.
It beeped and he took it out only to frown when he saw the screen.
"Yeah I don't know what your definition of a small fever is Snow but this isn't it. You're burning up come on and take this medicine." He said opening the bottle.
I was hit with the vulgar smell making me gag.
"Nooo! It smells so nasty!" I said covering my nose.
"It smells fine Snow come on you're a doctor you should be fine with medicine." He said pouring some of the purple liquid fluid in the measuring cup.
"I am but that doesn't mean I like taking medicine!" I whined as I tried scooting over to the other side of the bed.
"Snow you're being a baby come on just take it for me. Please." He pleaded.
I avoided looking into his eyes because I knew if I did I would crack.
So instead I turned my head childishly and continued to pout.
He sighed.
"What can I do to get you to take this?" He asked.
"Hmmm, how about you take it!?" I said excitedly.
"Me? You want me to get a buzz off of this stuff just for you to take it?"
I don't know if it was my fever talking but the idea sounded fun so I nodded my head.
He sighed but next thing I knew he took the shot of medicine making his nose scrunch up and reach for the cup of water on the nightstand.
"Omg, you actually did it! You're crazy!" I said through fits of laughter.
He shook his head.
"Yup only for you Snowflake." He said with a smirk.
"Haha well fill me up another Dimples," I said.
He handed me the cup and I pinched my nose, I took the shot just as quickly as he did.
It took me a minute to swallow and once I did I chugged down some of my ginger ale.
"Gosh, you are truly amazing! That stuff was terrible!" I yelled.
Aaron just laughed.
"Well go ahead and eat some of your breakfast so you don't get a stomach ache," I said pointing to his plate on the nightstand.
"Alright, but what movie do you want to watch first?" He asked looking down at all the movies.
"Well I see that you have all the Harry Potter movies I've never watched any of them so why not?" I said sorting through all the blankets.
"Cool I haven't watched any of them either, these are Ezra's movies." He said as he moved to put the disk in.
"Oh close all the curtains too!" I said excitedly.
After closing all of the curtains the room was dark with the only light coming from the T.V. Aaron jumped in the bed beside me and started eating from his plate.
The movie played and we would find ourselves laughing at random parts and Aaron would try and mock the characters accents.
We found the line "You're a wizard Harry" to be hilarious and his Aunt and Uncle to be awful people.
"Omg am I like Hermoine?" I asked randomly during the second movie.
"Nooo, I think you might be Harry? Omg, but who am I??" Aaron asked pointing at himself.
"You're totally Ron! He's so nice and a whole ride or die!" I said tapping his shoulder.
"So true! But we don't have a Hermoine!? What are we gonna do??" He asked frantically.
"Crap. Wait I know who our Hermoine could be!" I said excitedly.
"Who?!" He asked excitedly.
"Athena! She is such a know it all! Wait so does that make Apollo Dumbledore?" I asked only for us to both bust out laughing.
By the fifth movie we had the blankets over our heads and were cuddled up with my head resting on his shoulder.
"I totally shipped Harry with that girl why'd she have to be the snitch!" I said angrily.
"I know right! Why can't he just we happy with someone!" Aaron whined.
As the movie went on we added the pink dress suit lady to our hate list and we were all for the wizards rebelation!
"Omg no. Sirius did not just die!" I yelled.
"I can't believe them, he was like a father figure to Harry!" Aaron yelled.
I threw a pillow at the screen that landed on the floor with the other three I had thrown earlier. I was sure by the time we were done watching all of these movies we wouldn't have any pillows left on the bed.
I was right! By the time the last movie was playing I we using Aarons lap as a pillow while his back was up against the headboard of the bed.
"These movies where basically life-changing. Like was Dumbledore even a good guy? Snape turned out to be just a weirdo and not even a bad guy! Harry's father was a bully! And freaking Dobby and one of the Weasley twins died!!" I yelled throwing around my arms.
"I know! But Snow when you think about it we're both kinda wizards now!" Aaron said excitedly.
I gasped.
"You're a wizard Dimples!"
"You're a wizard Snowflake!" We both said at the same time and started laughing.
Once we calmed down he touched my forehead.
"You're fevers gone, that's good." He said happily.
"Yup and so is your little medicine buzz," I said.
"So today we learned that Harry Potter movies are crazy cool but can get confusing as hell." He said shaking his head.
"I second that! I am also all for searching for some merchandise from the movie!" I said looking for my phone.
Before I could find it the door suddenly busted open and the lights flickered on.
"Ahhh turn off the lights!" I yelled throwing the blanket back over my head.
"What the hell have yall been doing in here all day?! It's almost nine o'clock!" I heard Apollo ask from the doorway.
"Why does it smell like syrup in here?" I heard Serena ask.
I threw the blanket off and ran to the door.
"Apolloooo!! Harry Potter is great! Me and Dimples are total Pot heads now!" I said excitedly.
Apollo laughed.
"Umm Sis I'm pretty sure its Potter heads but I'm glad you got your energy back. So you had a good day?" Apollo asked giving me a small hug.
"Oh yeah, Dimples took good care of me. Today was great honestly! How about you? How was you two's date?"I asked looking at the two of them.
They both blushed.
"It was nice. I had a great time." Serena said shyly.
"That's good to hear!" I said happily.
"Snow I found Harry Potter hoodies!" I heard Aaron yell from the bed.
"Ah really?! Let me see!" I said running back over to him only to be pulled back.
"Not so fast, we came in here to tell you guys dinner is ready, we brought back a pizza. Come down and eat." Apollo said sternly.
"Sigh I guess. Give us a second to freshen up." I said walking back to the bed.
"Don't take to long!" Apollo said before closing the door.
After we added a bunch of merch to our shopping cart online we fixed up the bed and changed out of our pajamas.
Before we walked downstairs I stopped Aaron.
"I just wanted to say thank you for today, I really appreciate you hanging out and taking care of me. I'm glad I got to experience the world of Harry Potter with you, I wouldn't have wished for it to be with anyone else. So thank you, Aaron." I said with a smile.
Before he could reply I got on my tippy toes and gave him a kiss on his cheek and walking down the stairs.
