Don't be afraid to catch feels, ride drop top and chase thrills,
Baby, I know you ain't scared to catch feels, feels with me
Artemis Dagger
What a wild year.
Artemis leaned against the wall of the café he was waited next to, the sound of Christmas tunes surrounded him as he watched the festivities around him. He was sported a thick winter coat, dark jeans and some trainers, more comfortable clothes considering that they were going to be wandering around a festival together. The steaming paper bag in his grip emanating the sweet scent of freshly baked dough and sugar, warm donuts from the café he was leaning again, a treat for his date today. Yes, date.
Finally, he was getting to take Sivvy out, on a real date, and whilst they had gone on many date-like ventures together, none of them had been actual dates. Because up until this point, they had always been ‘just friends’, but that wall had been torn down. During one heated exchange on the Cursed Lands, where he had finally given into to his feelings. Now they were ‘more than friends’, and weirdly enough he couldn’t be happier. He knew he should be terrified about it, the idea of commitment had always freaked him out in the past. Since he last serious relationship, he had taken great strides to remain a bachelor, but he could not do that anymore. Not since Sivvy, and he was okay with it. More than okay, because this was what he wanted, more than anything else.
There was still some stuff to figure out, this he knew. The concept of him being in a relationship was always complicated, Artemis was the heir to the Dagger family business after all. He knew that in theory, his parents would have eventually tried to marry him off to ‘suitable partner’, some boring noble girl with influential parents. Now he had never intended to agree to such a thing, but he also hadn’t fought them much on it before. Mainly because thinking about marriage had always been the furthest thing from Artemis’s mind, and his parents, complain as they did about many things, had little concern over the kinds of women he entertained in the past. As long as, it was just that, women to entertain him. The idea of introducing Sivvy to them as more than that was worrisome, particularly after the fake wedding story that Sorcerer Magazine had did on them. The initial exposure had caused a great deal of trouble, and whilst he’d been able to rectify the matter. It certainly left its mark on his parents’ opinion of his affairs.
But then again, it was a bit soon to be worried about such things, this was after all - very new. As such he just wanted to take her out, and have a good time, to not overthink it. That would be okay, surely?
