Today in the end the usual did not go home decided to go home for whatever reason, a box car and a luxury car entered the front yard of the house, Artemis out of there, some people helped him carry a lot of things that were his. She shouldn't have graduated college considering she's just taken modeling classes again this new school year.

Artemis hugged her daddy without greeting her mother, I knew it couldn't possibly be accepted either by the daughter if her father remarried to a foreign woman, let alone the foreign woman carrying a child of her age.

Without greeting me and Mom, Artemis just hugged her family and went into the room. I wonder why I decided to return home after so long, I sat alone in my room reading the novel that Jane lent me.

Since the complete family was at home, I did not often meet with Ares in person, let alone I also left for college using my own car, he said, several times Ares also pretended his car was damaged so he could join one car with me, but there were not many reasons we could do other than meet secretly at night. Ares always comes in at midnight and sleeps in my room, although I have to be very careful but Ares always does it every day.

As it is today, when dark is pierced into the bed, only the reflection of moonlight provides illumination. Ares carried my innocent body in his arms, after a hot night of activity, ah more precisely an activity that we do every day. There were many conversations to be had, and today I was really curious about Artemis who had suddenly come home.

“Do Artemis know about your mother?.”

“No, she came home because she broke up with her boyfriend.”

“What was so bad that he decided to go home?.”

“I think yes, because Artemis gave up her whole life for that woman. I asked him when we were alone, he said that his ex was going to marry a man, the decision made Artemis could not comment anything because sooner or later she will also marry a man.”

I understand the feelings of Artemis, when you love someone more than anything but you have to let go of them by fate. Like Ares and I, we weren't meant to be together as a couple.

“Quickly or later we have to part.” It was my words that made Ares hold my hand tightly.

“Some times I told you, don't say such a thing.”

“Everything goes to the front of res, and I cannot possibly be with you.”

“Maybe we can.”

That's all Ares always said, an obscure thing, just gray.

That morning I woke up from my sleep feeling a piercing cold in the skin, my eyes twitching, I saw outside that had started to snow at the end of the year. The first snow in different places and different atmosphere, I get rid of the blanket and go to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth.

Changing my clothes in warm clothes, I picked up the phone on the nightstand and called Michael, we still keep in touch with each other once a week, he knows everything about me, he said, about my relationship with Ares that was off limits.

“Halo..”

“Happy Christmas, this year you are not home?.”

“Maybe not, because we'll all go to Italy to celebrate Christmas there.”

“Well it's a pity that you don't come on our show usually.”

“I'm sad because I haven't been able to meet you.”

“How was your relationship with your own sister?.”

“Do not say like that, makes me a little uncomfortable.”

“No need, we are fine and will always be like that.”

“I pray for you that there may be a way for both of you.”

“Thanks, how is Verona?.”

“She is still spoiled as usual.”

Our conversation was very long, Michael already has a lover again after a broken heart, indeed since my departure, Michael has changed a little, especially about the couple. From never knowing a woman other than me to knowing a lot of women, from playgirl to sugar baby.

I got into the elevator to go to the first floor, a few days before the winter break, Ares there is an event on campus that requires him not to go home, some days I always sleep alone.

At the dinner table there was already a complete family except Ares, I was sitting in a chair next to mom. Artemis' gaze was still the same as usual, not liking mother. Maybe you should be more patient because now there is Artemis at home. After eating, I went out of the house, not much snow wrapped in the outer courtyard but the air was enough to make my bones frozen.

“Hei.” A call made me turn my head, I found Artemis on the second floor drinking alcohol. “You drink?.” He offered me a drink as if we were very familiar, I thought Artemis was not as bad as I had in mind.

I went back inside the house and headed to the elevator to go to Artemis' room, I knocked on the door with the words Artemis, different from the hallway of my room area and Ares, and I knocked on the door, it gets a lot of light and is also brighter.

The door opened, Artemis told me to come in. I'm not afraid that she's in love with me, as I know that falling in love isn't that easy, same-sex or opposite-sex.

We sat on the sofa near the balcony “I don't drink, because it's easy to get drunk.”

“Then you take the food you want.”

“Thank you, it's the first time I've talked to you after such a long time.” I smiled because I was uncomfortable.

“I'm just lazy to meet anyone, I also don't like if daddy gets married again.”

“I know, all children must be like that.”

“By the way where is your father?.”

“My father left when I was very small.’

I ended up drinking a drink even if it was just one.

“My mom is busy working because she has to be the backbone of the family, giving me comfortable facilities and making me able to live like other children in general, as a mother and father.” I went on, strangely I told Artemis but as if there was an urge for me to tell my family life, she was also one of my new family.

“Are you okay?.”

“No, I'm not a good boy for mom, I chose the wrong path to draw her attention from work. Hahaha.”

“I can't say anything, I hope you can get that attention now.”

“Thank you, how about you? I thought you'd never come back let alone your daddy getting married again.”

“I don't think I intend to go back, but circumstances tell me to go home. My lover is getting married, I have to let go of him for the sake of world balance.”

“I've heard a little about you.”

“You're not afraid if I'm interested in you? Usually many are afraid because they think I can fall in love with her.”

“Falling in love is not that easy, I understand. What now can we call friends?.”

“Serah.”

Artemis was nice, she didn't talk much but was very spoiled for her father, which I know, and we were also very suitable to talk about many things.
