It's been a solid week since Lucius and Severus have looked at each other, let alone talked. Narcissa has gotten even more concerned for the both of them, while Bellatrix finds it all amusing.
" S-Severus, " Lucius called out trying to main a straight face (nearly failing), slowly approaching Severus. " Could we t-talk a moment? "
" No, " Severus responded, scowling. " I know what you're going to say. 'It was a misunderstanding,' " Severus mocked, angrily.
' But it was.. Don't you understand? Haven't you ever seen me blush while talking to you?! ' Lucius thought, remaining silent. There was an odd silence between the two males. Finally, Lucius broke the silence by sighing.
" Fair enough... I'll leave you be, " Lucius said with the most forced smile you have ever seen. He turned away and began to walked away.
" Ugh, fine. What do you want to talk about? " Severus groaned from where he was sitting causing Lucius to stop dead in his tracks. He turned back around and stared unintentionally at Severus.
" Look. When you heard me say....what I did, I was talking to Bellatrix. She's even worse about blood purity than I am. If you're not from a pure family, she looks down upon you, " Lucius tried explaining, clenching his fists to the point of his nail digging into his palms.
" Your point is? " Severus put his quill down, still scowling.
" I-What I'm trying to say is I was lying to Bellatrix about 'using you,' " Lucius gestured quotation marks around using you. " My family may be notorious for being prejudice but I'm not that bad. I would NEVER sink that low, " Lucius looked straight into Severus' onyx eyes.
" Mhm...sure, " Severus replied, sarcastically, breaking eye connection.
' Damn it, just let me look into your eyes for five minutes! ' Lucius thought, but then quickly pushed the thought away. He sighed, sadly and slowly.
" Severus, do you know why I was never a jerk to you? " Lucius asked, randomly.
" I dunno, you probably had plans to use this whole time, "Severus sneered. It visible annoyed Lucius, much to Severus' delight.
" No, you idiot! I love you, that's why! Ever since I met you, I've loved your introverted personality, everything! I only said that to Bellatrix to get her off my back about you! " Lucius snarled, causing Severus to look up in shock.
" Y-You.. I-...What?! " Severus managed to mumble, pushing past the shock as much as he could. Lucius himself was taken aback by what he had said. He clamped a hand over his mouth.
" I-I'm sorry I didn't mean to say that.. I'll just go now, " Lucius muttered, turning to leave as he lowered his hand. Before turning around, he saw Severus shake his head.
" Stay, please. We have things we need to work out, " He said in a quiet tone, rolling the parchment he was writing on prior to the conversation up and capped the ink bottle.
Lucius looked over his shoulder and smiled ever so slightly.
