Don't think too much about it

"Hey, how are you feeling?" George asks. He crosses his legs as he sits on the bed.
"Better, I think," Artemis sighs, "I don't know."
     "Do you want to tell me?" he asks, extending his hands. Artemis lays her hands in his bigger hands.
     "I do," she says, "but I'm afraid."
     "Of .. me?" he asks, his heart sinking.
     "Of your reaction," she says, denying contact.

"Artemis," George whispers. Panic bursts through her veins, since George never calls her Artemis. "Look at me," he softly speaks. She cautiously shifts her eyes from their hands to his eyes.
     "I will always love you, no matter what," he says, "and nothing can change that."
     "I doubt that," Artemis mumbles.
     "Come again?"
     "I doubt that," Artemis repeats, her heartbeat rising. Her breathing quickens. She takes a deep breath before she tells him the truth.

"Lando confessed his love for me."
     Silence. George watched Artemis and Artemis watched George. 'Lando confessed his love for my girlfriend.'
     "George?" Artemis asks cautiously.
     "One of my bestest mates is in love with my girlfriend," he says, trying to get it in his head, "and h-how did you respond?"
     "Just like you," she replies, "but before you say anything, he knows it can never happen and he could never stand between us."

"Is it okay if I confront him about it?" he asks. George was thrown into darkness. He didn't know whether to be angry or anxious.
     "Yes, that's okay," Artemis says, "but I felt like telling you." Artemis opens her arms, to where George immediately dives into her arms.

"Do you love him?" he mutters as his face is hidden in her chest.
     "As a friend," Artemis replies, "because you already have my heart. Every piece of it."
     "Good, because I don't like sharing," he chuckles. Artemis rolls her eyes as she softly hits him on the head, receiving a small 'ow'.
"Do you know, how difficult this was for me to tell you?"
"I could imagine," he says and pulls his girlfriend closer, "and I'm proud of you telling me." He places a soft kiss on her head.

"Please don't be mad at Lando," Artemis says, staring in the distance. George watches the view outside while he gently strokes her hair.
"I'm not mad," he sighs, "I just want to talk to him okay?"
"Okay."

"I love you."
"I love you more."
