Welcome to Gaia! ::

After finishing the warm milk, he cleaned out the cup and put it away before heading to bed and falling asleep. It was six in the morning when the boy woke up with a yawn and a stretch as he got out of bed. He wandered out of his room and headed into his study that he had converted into a little office and sat down on his chair to check mail and such. "Ah.. a hack request.." He muttered as he read the details in the email and responded to it with his conditions and how much it would cost, this was essentially how he got his money, doing hacking for the government, police, and other law enforcement agencies. He quickly got a reply back accepting the price and already sent the money to the boy's bank account. Smiling lightly, Artie cracked his knuckles and moved onto his other computer and began the hacking, it didn't even take him more than an hour to break into the firewalls and take the needed data. Once that was done, he sent the information to his client and hid his hacking tracks. The client replied to the information with the final email, thanking him for the quick job and sent him a bonus payment. Stretching a bit as he got up, it was barely 7:30 in the morning now, so he decided to start making breakfast with a cheerful smile. It was now almost lunch, and he had made a large breakfast with lots of eggs, bacon, toast, butter was also set on the table along with plates and utensils, and freshly made coffee. After setting the table he walked down the hall and knocked on the door where Noelle was in, "Noelle~. Breakfast is ready~." He called out before heading back to the dining table.

"Ah!" Artie yelped when she suddenly had jumped onto his back, clearly feeling certain parts against his back as she clung to him. "M-Morning Noelle.." He replied with a bright red blush on his face as he quickly became embarrassed and did indeed carry her to the dining table. "I-It's fine... I was in a pretty good mood this morning, managed to earn some money with my hobby." He replied with a smile before he remembered what was pressing against his back, "A-Anyway, c-c-can you g-get off..? I-I c-can f-feel them pressing against m-my back.." He said, flustered once again as his face went bright red.

Artie's face was still bright red from blushing even after Noelle had jumped off his back. "Aaaaaah~ Stoooooop~." He yelped out as she twisted her fists on either side of the boys head while calling him an idiot. "I-I wasn't g-going to lie about it.." He replied shyly as he still blushed when he finally gotten free from her fists and sat down at the dining table for the rather large breakfast that he had made. "Anyway.. I hope you enjoy the breakfast I made." He said with a smile as he looked at her before getting himself some eggs, bacon, toast, and a slice of the butter to put on the toast.

Artie smiled happily when he saw her eat so heartily and ate quite a lot himself. Soon they both had finished eating all the food, though he had tilted his head a bit when Noelle suddenly stood up and walked over to him. "A-Ah.. I-I'm glad you enjoyed i-it.." He replied shyly as he blushed a fair bit when she had wrapped her arms around his neck and played with his ears a bit before speaking in a sly tone. That had reminded him that he had never told he his age at all, though they were around the same age, "U-Um.. School is important though, and the principle seemed to be your guardian during the time you had lost your memories, so you should talk to him and find out what your classes are from him.. And, unfortunately we don't go to the same school, I've already graduated high school. I'm nineteen years old.." He replied with an increased blush as he still held her, though he turned his head a bit so he could look at her. Though the boy was nineteen, it was still a surprise to find out his real age because he actually looked younger than he was, this was a trait that he shares with his father.

"We did meet at the school, but I was setting up the computers and connections in the school for the principle. It was to make sure that nobody hacks into the school systems to change grades and such." Artie explained with a light wry smile at her disappointed tone. He couldn't help but blush a bit more when she had called him cute and squeezed him playfully, "I-I mean, I wouldn't be against going to school with you.. but it's just how it is.. I won't just disappear though if you go to school, I'll still be here when you're back.." He replied shyly with an increased blush as he looked at her.

"O-Of course I get jealous, but getting your education is important.." Artie replied with a light smile though he was a bit worried. It wasn't like he was good at being assertive and when it came to Noelle, he felt even more shy than he should be. He nodded a bit when she ran to the guest room to change, leaving the boy alone at the dining table, drinking coffee. It wasn't long till Noelle returned wearing her school uniform and asked him how she looked, "You look great!" He replied with a smile as he looked at her and stood up. "Ah, that reminds me, your school is Utivona High School, there is a bus that takes you there just a little bit down the road from the apartment." He said as he remembered that she had forgotten the memories from when she had no memories of her past.

Artie blinked a bit when she suddenly said his name and turned around, only to find her face extremely close to his as she kissed him on the lips. "I-I-I see.. E-Enjoy your day then, Noelle.." He replied, completely flustered as he face became bright red from blushing. He smiled a bit as he looked at her, truly glad that he had met her. "You should get going." He said as he looked at the time on his watch before smiling at her again and continued to clean off the table.

Artie smiled gently as he watched her leave his apartment and stretched a bit. "I'm glad that she is okay.." He commented with a kind smile as he went and did the dishes before checking his email. After that he decided to get groceries and such for dinner and breakfast.
