Eliza hummed happily to herself as she walked down the Boy's Dorm hallway, ignoring the gaping looks of guys as they peered out of their rooms to stare at her.
In her hand she held a plate of cookies she had made in Home Ec, and was proud that they tasted good, and she hadn't burnt down the school....again. Eliza stopped in front of a familiar door and knocked.
'Arty! Ih got yah somethin!" she said through the door.

Artemis had been sleeping when she had knocked. He was catching up on a few hours of sleep while he had the chance. Blankets blocked the windows to keep the light out and he'd threatened the younger boys into not making any noise. That didn't last long.
Rolling out of bed, he trudged over to the door. Still in his black boxers, he opened the door a crack, wincing at the light. "Yeah?" He muttered sleepily, rubbing his eyes, "Alright..." He muttered, not fully awake yet.

Eliza pushed herself into the room, "Whoa this place is dark hun!" she said looking around the room before turning back to Artemis and her smile disappear and her face turned red as her eyes went up and down Artemis' body, 'Oh myh god hun Ih'm so sorry," she managed to gasp and spun around closing her eyes tight.

Artemis looked at her through half-lidded eyes, not sure what she was doing. "Yeah, okay..." He mumbled, shuffling over to his bed and sitting down on it, bringing the warm blankets around him and huddling under them. "What did you need?" He said, stiffiling a yawn.

Eliza opened her eyes, her cheeks still a little red from her blush, "Ih brought yah cookies hun!" she said cheerfully and bounded over to the bed, and jumped on it, plopping the plate of cookies in Artemis' lap. Nervously she played with the locket around her neck, waiting for Artemis to try one.

Artemis chuckled sleepily, taking a cookie and nibbling it. "Trés manifique." He said, kissing his fingertips like the pompous french chefs on TV. "You did good." He said, taking a larger bite.

"Anh Ih didn't even burn anythin!" Eliza proclaimed happily sliding behind Artemis and hugging him from behind, 'Hun, yah tense!" she then proclaimed and began massaging his shoulders, 'Nice thing is since Ih did so well on those cookies, teachah's gonna pass me!" she added with a smirk.

"I am not tense, I am tired. Or perhaps having a pretty girl in my bed while I am only in my boxers is a bit unnerving, mm?" He joked, but let her massage his shoulders. "That is great. I am glad you are going to pass." He said, chuckling. He didn't have a problem with Home Ec; he had learned all that at a young age from his nanny.

"Aw come Arty, yah think yah would be use tah me by now," Eliza said moving her hands down the rest of Artemis' back, 'Besides, Darhlin," she whispered into his ear, 'What do yah have to be scared of?"

Artemis shivered, his face red. "Your hands are cold..." He mumbled, taking another bite of the cookie. He glanced over to his desk, where a black velvet box sat. He'd been contemplating giving it to her, but he wasn't sure. There were still a few things he wasn't sure of.

"Ih was outside before now, anh Ih forgot myh mittens tahday, besides yah back is warmin up myh hands," Eliza said placing the palms of her hands on his shoulderblades and massaging them, "Myh mom said that this spot was where people grew wings, back in tha day before mortals lost them in ah bet with the gods."

Artemis shivered again. "Hmm, really? Interesting." He shifted, dropping the blanket a bit to give her more back to massage. After a minute, he spoke. "I... saw you walking outside with a boy. He was blue. A friend of yours?"

"Hm?" Eliza asked her own body relaxing as she focused on massaging Artemis' back, forgetting her own woes and worries, 'That's Kurt Wagner hun," she then said her hands going lower on Artemis' back and massagin the soft flesh there, "He anh I," she began as her face flushed, "We use tah be ah couple, til he had tah go home tah Germany anh we parted ways. Tha long distance thing is too hard for people as young as us."

"Hmm..." Artemis said, closing his eyes at the plesant massage. "You two did appear very friendly. Do you still have feelings for him?" He asked, his cheeks still slightly pink.

Eliza appruptly stopped the massage and sat back, her cheeks crimson with embaressment and anger, 'That's not really any of yah business," she said quietly tapping her fingers against her legs.

"Right." Artemis said, "Of course. Sorry." He set the plate of cookies aside, not really wanting to eat anymore.

"Beside hun," Eliza said wrapping her arms around Artemis' face, "Yah not jealous are yah?" she whispered into Artemis' ear, the locket necklace, cool against her skin as her body pressed against Artemis' back, "Envy green doesn't suit yah as ah color darhlin."

Artemis blushed, pausing. "Really," he sniffed, jokingly, "I had always heard green was a very fetching color on me."

"Hey what's tha fancy box on yah desk?" Eliza questioned unwrapping her arms from Artemis' waist and saring at the box, 'Ooooo, Arty are yah gonna give that tha some girl? What's her name, what's she look like, is she pretty?"

Artemis blushed, looking away. He hoped that Eliza wouldn't notice that the bracelet in that box matched the locket she wore around her neck. "Well... um... I... that is...yes?" He stammered, flustered.
