"We're close," he said, wanting to reassure his friend. "Very close."

Thinking for a moment as Artemis rested against him, Haku ran over what he knew. Artemis was getting information from people he didn't know, but that were in a relationship of some sort; Artemis had abilities he hadn't known about until now; and finally, Artemis was most likly interested in a deeper relationship, but his age and lack of experiance made him awkward.

Shifting slightly in his bed, a cool hand on his cheek, Haku moved Artemis' head up and lightly kissed him. Pulling back and smiling warmly, he shook his head. "I know that the use of power here can hurt the one using it. I will be fine, but thank you. Really."
