I was gonna make this a double upload but the other one is taking so long.

Have the shorter one because I'm getting so impatient 😭 

Also the longer one is exceeding my 2,000 word cap, so that great. 

This is based off another video I sent Ani on TikTok-

I want to know if you remember which one it was tho

—~+~—

I still love you.

Hey Shino,

This is a super weird text because it's meant to be like a letter. Really funny. Uhm. Anyways...I just wanted to tell you how much I love you. I know how much you love me, but still. I can't help but feel I'm not good enough for you.I mean, you could be dating anyone else. Anyone who wasn't so...

What I'm trying to say is thank you.Thank you for loving me, when I don't love me. I don't deserve you, 

🤍 —Artemis

I still love you.

—~+~—

Looking at Artemis' message, I frown.

Has something made him feel this way all of a sudden? He's been so sad these days. Putting down my phone, I get up to head to his room. Walking there, I think to myself.

Artemis doesn't get bullied at school... it's not like he's been told my of this... I try to make him feel as loved as I possibly can... Then again, you don't need a reason to feel these kind of ways. Sometimes you're just in a mood. 

Walking up the stairs hastily, I quickly thinking of reassuring things to say. 

I knock three times before letting myself in. Still going in slowly, remembering the Rikku situation. 

Artemis is sitting on his bed, drawing quietly. Not even listening to music. This doesn't look good.

I sit on the die of his bed even though he refuses to look at me. 

"Need a hug?"

Artemis finally looks at me, my arms outstretched with a smile. He gives me a weak smile and a half hug.

I turn it into a full hug as soon as I can, burying my face in his black and white hair. Artemis finally returns the hug fully. 

"You doing ok?" I ask softly.

"Mhm... Just one of those days.." Artemis hides his face in the crook of my neck. He has a puppy nose. Always cold. "Can I ask you something..." 

"Just did." I chuckle as Artemis finally pulls away. 

"Shut up... But seriously?" Artemis pouts.

"Go ahead."

Artemis suddenly starts gushing, tears falling from his eyes as he goes. 

"Why do you love me... I'm dumb, I'm anxious, I'm clingy, I'm childish, I'm weird, I cry a lot, I'm bad at expressing my emotions, I overwork myself, I talk a lot, I stutter, I'm ugly, I ramble, I don't take care of myself, I don't give you as much attention I should, I don't... I just... I don't know...why... I make you so happy... There's nothing good about me... How could you even love me..." 

I stare in shock for a brief moment before scooping up Artemis and shushing his cries. 

"Hey hey... sh.. calm down... I love you because I do. I love everything about you. No matter what. I love all qualities, factors, quirks, feelings, everything about you. You know why?" Artemis sniffs as he starts to calm down, looking up at me expectantly. "Because it's all a part of you. And I love you. I love you Artemis Divil." I kiss Artemis' forehead, cheeks, and nose. 

"But I'm really clingy..."

"I love you."

"But I'm dumb..."

"I love you."

"But I'm anxious a lot..."

"I love you."

"But I'm bad at showing how much I care..."

"I love you."

"But I-"

"No buts. I still I love you. No matter what. Nothing about you is a bad quality in my mind." 

Artemis just stares at me for a while before smiling softly and cuddling into my chest. I lay back into an pillows and sigh. Artemis' head lays almost on my stomach now. I caress his hair and face softly. Using my sleeve to wipe his tears. 

I love Artemis. I love him so much. 

Despite the fact I don't love myself.
