Artemis weighed his choices. Punch the wall= get Buck pissed at him; Punch Huntin= get Huntin pissed at him; Scream= attract attention. He growled in frustration. "Bastard." He spat, rolling away and pressing his back against the backboard. He stared at Huntin, his anger showing in his gray eyes. "You kissed me..." He snarled, as if that was enough explanation.

[MacGuffin]

"I know, and I'm sorry. But in all honesty I kind of thought Eliza would be the only one out of the two of you to do stuff like that to me." Huntin folded his arms, looking to his friend, truly sorry. "I mean, honestly, I don't know why you're mad at me for it, other than the little shock factor or something, but I am truly, deeply sorry." He looked around a little. "You can punch me if it'll make you feel better." He just didn't want the house to find itself under a horrible thunderstorm.

[Zeb]

Artemis glared at him, but his clenched fists loosened slightly. He couldn't tell Huntin why he was so angry. The truth was, Huntin had kissed him, sure, but Artemis had /liked/ it. He wasn't so much angry at Huntin than shifting the anger at himself onto his friend. "Whatever..." He said softly, his gaze flickering away.

[MacGuffin]

Huntin looked around for a minute, trying to think. "Look, Arty....does this have anything to do with that first time I introduced you to her? Like, is this kind of the same thing?" He still didn't know what that was all about for sure, but he had a few hints. "I mean....I'm your friend, and you're without question my best friend whether you know it or not. I don't want to be the reason you're pissed, alright?"

[Zeb]

"You are not the reason I am upset." Artemis said curtly. He wished he could just walk away, run away, do something, but he knew Huntin would just follow him. It was times like these he detested having a teleporter for a friend.

[MacGuffin]

"Then why? I mean....I hate seeing you all pissed like this, it's really hard to just....I don't know...." He was starting to somewhat regret bringing Artemis along. There would have been much less tension between the two of them. "Did Eliza say something to you?"

[Zeb]

Artemis paled visibly. Yes, Eliza. That conversation with her at the icecream parlor was what had started all of this. He adverted his eyes, not wanting to look at Huntin. He no longer looked pissed, just... scared. Wordlessly he stood, walking out of the room and shutting the door.

[Health]

Eliza had taken a quick flight around the city before landing back on her balcony, straightening her curly hair, and walking ack in the room and frowning, she wondered what had happened to the guys?

[MacGuffin]

Huntin POOFed outside the door, heading Artemis off. "What did she say Artemis? Did she say I said something about you? Because if I've ever said anything about you it's only ever been praise." He put one hand on his shoulder, half-knowing what was going on. "Artemis.....um......are you......." He didn't know how to say it.

[Zeb]

"Unless you wish this house to be in the middle of a tornado," The french boy said, looking away from Huntin, "I would advise you to remove your hand, shut your mouth, and move your ass out of my way."

[MacGuffin]

Huntin went to say something, but just did as his friend asked. He sighed and took his hand off Artemis's shoulder, shaking his head a little and turning towards Eliza's room.

[Zeb]

Artemis walked down the hall, disappearing down the stairs and out the back door to avoid Eliza's parents. As soon as he had exited the house, he set off at a dead run, not knowing where he was going, but going somewhere.

[Health]

"Ih heard yellin, is everythin alirhgt?" Eliza asked as she pulled her PJ top down all the way as she peeked out her door and looked at Huntin with a puzzled look.

[MacGuffin]

He sighed, leaning against the wall. "No....Artemis is acting really weird, and I think I know what it is mostly." He walked over to Eliza slowly, looking around. "Um...I don't want to accuse or anything...but did you say something that I don't know about that might have upset him or something? I asked if he had a problem with you and he just went silent." He cocked his head to the side.

[Health]

"Um, letsee," Eliza said thinking for a moment ans sctratched her stomach lazily, "He got really offended when I was making fun of him, saying that he was gay. But I apologized for that, but he's been acting weird around you ever since I brought that up," she said raising an eyebrow.

[MacGuffin]

Huntin sighed a little, running one hand threw his hair. "That....explains it all......." Artemis had a crush on him. He knew it he KNEW it. He wasn't freaked out or anything...he just didn't know how to approach his friend about it.

He felt like a change of subject would be nice. "Um...what did you want us to do about tux rentals and fitting and everything?" Huntin smirked. "I never thought I'd be in a penguin suit till I was dead and that's what they burried me in."

[Health]

Eliza couldn't help going a little dreamy-eyed at the thought of Huntin in a tux, "Ih already talk tah tha dressmaker she's gonna get some last minute tuxes for y'all, anh do some quick pinnins before tha ball," she said with a smirk on her face.

[MacGuffin]

"Oh....well......very good then." He smirked a little, walking over to her and giving her a nice hug. "I'm not gonna lie, this whole gala thing has me pretty scared."

[Health]

Eliza raised an eyebrow, "Why, these things aren't nothin?" she asked, "Usually Ih stick around for ah half an hour then make a run for myh room anh play XBox for tha remainder of tha night. Most of it is laughing at tha rich folks jokes."

[MacGuffin]

"Really, now?" He smiled, kissing her neck a little then pulling back. "I think I might be able to swing that. That is, if you don't mind playing a two-player game."
