Gent was quiet for a long moment just staring at the garden floor. "You are right, I do not know a lot of things. I don't know how to be kind and caring or how to control my emotions when i don't get my way. I don't know how to make anything more than a sandwich and most of all I don't know how I can feel this way about you," he turned away in embarrassment. "When that man struck you I wanted to kill him - I still want to. You've made me ill, I think. Surely there must be an explanation for this sting I have in my chest."

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Artemis sniffed. Was the male confessing to him or telling him to get lost? It made it sound like Gent thought of him as a disease or something. "I guess if you're saying you're into me or something, that's fine. Just quit making a mess with the meals" He chided, standing and brushing of his pants.
Artemis had no idea how to take Gent's sudden announcement. What would the Zercan be interested him him? The fae though the male hated him!

Gent;s face turned a ruddy red in embarrassment and shame. He knew he should not have opened up and said anything but he would have thought the male would have at least had the decency not to mock him. Turning sharply on his heel, he left and stormed to the library.
He was ridiculously hurt and he didn't know why he was surprised. Of course the beautiful fairy wouldn't feel the same for him. He was too ugly, too hideous and too rowdy. He only wished he had remembered that before hehad made an ass of himself. But it was too late and the shame over his appearance was seeping in worse now than ever and he felt like defective.

Artemis blinked in confusion. What was Gent mad about now? He watched the male storm off after the confession and the teen wondered if he'd said something careless. He hadn't been making fun of the male...he just didn't know how to handle such a handsome Zercan confessing to him.
Feeling Gent's hurt, Artemis flew to the library and peeked through the door. "Gent?' The fairy called softly.

"Leave me alone, Artemis," Gent's voice was low, tired and hurt. He sounded like a kicked kitten and felt worse.

Oh, that voice made Artemis feel horrible and he sighed heavily, entering the library. "What's wrong Gent?" He prompted, walking further into the room to stand in front of where the male was sitting.

Gent turned his face away and held a hand over his scars. "I've said all I have to say. You did as well. Just leave me be, you don't need to mock the beast anymore. I've learned my place. I know I'm unfit to think of you."

Artemis snorted at the pity party. "Oh, grow up." He said, though not totally unkindly as he reached to pry Gent's hand from the scarred area of his face to get a good look at it. The teen looked over the area silently before grinning mischievously.
"Oh gods my eyes!" He cried dramatically, falling to the floor and squirming about. "Oh I'm blind!" He didn't get any further before he burst out laughing, looking up at the Zercan. "Gent, honestly, you're really good looking. And look!" Here, the teen lifted up his shirt to bare his tummy and the burn that bubbled his skin just at his hip. "I have a scar too!"

Gent scoffed at the male's humor, unused to it and un appreciative. "My face missing and your blister are not the same thing, boy."

"You were supposed to laugh you dork." Artemis said, getting up and settling his chin on the edge of Gent's knee. "And I don't think your face is missing. One side just has more...character than the other." The teen replied.

"What do you know about it?" he asked but his voice lacked the heat it had had moments before. He had to give the boy credit, lying or no he had yet to run from the room screaming. "Why do you not run away from me like the rest? "

"Do I look shallow to you?" Artemis demanded, crawling into Gent's lap now to give the male a good cuddle. "And I have news for you. It was your attitude they were running from, not your face." The teen laughed, settling firmly against the male's chest.

Gent just stared at the Fae. It felt so odd having this man in his lap and yet so right. He felt like Artemis were meant to be there but after so long a time of lonliness he also felt awkward. "Why would you want to touch me in such a manner?" He said lowly, confused. "I-I am am not sure what is happening right now."

Artemis gave Gent a flat look before kissing the male's scarred cheek. "I'm trying to comfort you. I feel like I said something hurtful unintentionally." He admitted. "And I also don't want you feeling inadequate because of your scar. It's not true. Though...it stops there. I don't whore around." Artemis felt he should be clear about this. He'd managed to keep himself a virgin for his mate when he found him. He wasn't wasting it now.

"I would not expect that of you," he said gruffly. "I believe all bearers should keep themselves chaste for their givers. That you are Sensaforian should not matter. All the same, you must remove yourself from my lap, Artemis." That said he lifted the Fae and settled him down on the sofa. "I want you something awful and I am not willing to take what is your rightful mates."
Though he did wonder at the terrible ache in his chest at the thought of the Fae with another man.
