“wow.” he nods, the sheer picture of such a large spider exciting him. “i heard that might be changing soon, some sort of being treaty.” politics had always interested vince, but expressing his genuine care for creatures and lesser beings was pushed back by his parents constantly. even going as far as to say you’re vote shouldn’t count right to his face. these thoughts were pushed aside quickly as lucius complimented him, a small blush tinting his cheeks. “never failed me before, has it?”

“Yeah, I heard, but I doubt it’ll pass,” Lucius said, only keeping up with politics that his boss might be interested in. Though, he’d be lying if he said he hadn’t paid a little more attention to creature-being politics since Vince took an interest. He easily noticed his favorite color appearing, a bit of pride swelling in his chest at making it happen. As soon as they were surrounded by trees, Lucius looked around to double check that there was no one, creature or being, that could see him pull Vince in for a quick kiss. “Apologies, I just had to do that.”

she nodded, acknowledging his gratitude. she supposed they were both quite lucky their opinions about their future ‘union’ matched. “we are.” she chuckled, grateful for the momentary bit of humor. part of her wondered what his reasons could be, nevertheless since she wasn’t prepared to share hers she considered it inappropriate to ask him. “and since there are no objects flying amid heated argument, we’re more successful than the black manor too.”

It wasn’t a laugh, per say, but a quick exhalation of air through a genuine smile erupted out of him. “Fantastic, it seems our match is ten times better that they could have imagined,” he joked, putting out his cigarette on the ground. He turned over to lean his shoulder on the wall so he could actually look at her while they talked. “So the first idea that comes to mind is finding an alternative. Do you know any pureblood who might be interested in marrying you?” It was such a strange and personal question, but they were in this boat together; they had to trust each other or they would both drown.

“Talkalot,” Lucius greeted, sitting across from her in the great hall. He wouldn’t call her a friend, per say, but there was a mutual respect between them and a sort of an unspoken understanding between them. “Anything interesting happen around Hogwarts that you’d care to share?”

“ no , of course not . sorry you just caught me off guard . ” she justified her moment of perplexity and her baffled expression was instantly replaced by a harmonious , borderline soothing smile . perhaps there was a silver lining after all . “ you’re right , the law can’t see into our bed chambers . ” contrary to her initial impression of him , with each passed word he convinced her of his genuineness and subconsciously she already regarded him as a friend . “ it goes without saying that the same applies to you —— whoever you wish to be with , that’s a bussiness i won’t pry into . ”

He shook his head at her apology, indicating it wasn’t necessary. He mirrored her smile with a small smirk of his own, taking another drag of his cigarette as she repaid the offer. He turned his head to blow smoke in the opposite direction of his fiance before saying “Thank you, I appreciate it.” He did, though he doubted he would even be able to take advantage of it. Still, it was nice to have options. He turned back to meet her eyes before saying “At least we seem to be able to hold a civil conversation without insulting each other. So we’re already better than my parents.” He was trying to make a joke to lighten the mood, but he wasn’t sure if it worked.

“wait, really? that’s so cool! how big are the little ones?” rarely did vince feel he could be himself, confess his passions. but lucius had put up with him for far too long to be unused to it. “they’re gorgeous, like horses. i’d love to speak to them but.. i don’t know if i could get myself out if it went south.”

Lucius grinned a little at Vince’s enthusiasm; it was charmingly adorable. He used his hands to make the approximate shape and size of the spider, about as large as a basketball. He then nodded. “That makes sense. Besides, the whole centaur-wizard relations thing implies it would probably go south very quickly.” He made sure no one was listening before adding quietly “That gorgeous smile of yours can only get you out of so much.”

[better-than-you-malfoy]

“Depends on whose mood you’re referring to,” Lucius smirked, taking a sip of his own gillywater. “My hope is to spoil yours, therefore livening mine. So I suppose both.” Lucius was bored out of his mind at this “party,” so messing with one of the Gryffindors with a stereotypically Gryffindor temper might make it better. 

“ i hope you’re here to liven up the mood ——- not spoil it . ” she adressed the newcomer without glancing over her shoulder , remnants of firewhiskey consumed only seconds ago tingling in her throat .

his smile is uncontrollable, quick on his feet as he bounds to open the door for his roommate. “oh, come on. don’t tell me lucius malfoy has never explored the forbidden forest?” laughing, he leads the way at a reasonable distance. every turn and branch memorised and distinct in his mind. “y’know i’ve seen centaurs out here before..”

“Not since second year,” he admitted as they approached. “Had an unfortunate run in with a baby acromantula and haven’t gone back since.” He chuckled as he shrugged, nonchalantly adding “Never told anyone about that.” His interest was piqued at Vince’s casual mention of centaurs. “What was that like?”

she scoffed , more than aware that their back up plan sucked . then again , narcissa reminded herself that they were only beginning , surely their joined minds could come up with something more … fruitful . “ we just need some time . ” she muttered , explaining their so far weak ideas . she frowned at his next words , wondering whether she heard him correctly . “ what are you saying ? ” she asked , needing the confirmation from him . not like she planned on being faithful if their plans failed ( and vice versa ) but hearing it out loud was a whole new thing .

“True, this is only our first brainstorming session; there will definitely be others,” he explained. He then arched an eyebrow at her, confused as to how she didn’t understand what he had just said.”That I’m not expecting you to want to be with me? Our worst case scenario is that we’re legally married, but you can be with whoever you want outside of it. Am I somehow being unclear?” He knew he wasn’t, but he didn’t want to be rude to his only ally in this situation.

“anywhere.. the lake.. the forest. i don’t care just.. go somewhere with me.” he whispers, leaving a sweet peck on his lips. he would gladly kiss lucius in front of anyone, but he knew the other wasn’t ready. he’d respect that boundary, keep this to himself. “i’m sick of being stuck in here.”

Lucius  thought about what location would be better for... whatever the fuck they were doing. If it was night, he would’ve suggested the astronomy tower, but people could still walk in at any moment. Lake or forest... “The forest sounds interesting,” he said, arching an eyebrow. “We’re already doing some pretty risky shit, why not add to the list?” He chuckled lightly, giving the other boy one more kiss on the lips before nodding towards the door and walking towards it.

bringing him back to his lips, vincent tugs his hands through lucius’ hair. “you’re beautiful.” he whispers, wrapping his arms around him and closing his eyes tightly. he’d worried for so long that after the first time.. he’d lose his best friend forever, now he was on top of the world. feeling wanted for who he was became a rarity, but right now he felt it. and he was grateful. “go somewhere with me.”

Lucius happily kissed him back, kissing him almost through the compliment. Lucius knew he was good looking, of course, but he never really felt it was a compliment rather than a fact until Vince told him so. He tilted his head slightly, a tentative but still genuine smile on his face. “Go? Where would we go?” He would go with Vince anywhere, but he couldn’t be seen snogging another guy; that was another huge step, bigger than all the others he had made, and he wasn’t ready yet.

he had little hope he’d keep lucius after this. the chances of him being happy with his proposal were slim if at all in his mind. he’d lose his best friend, and after losing marlene he wasn’t sure how well he’d cope. but then, lucius said yes. “really?” his grin is uncontrollable, and the kiss just as sweet as the first. holding him close, vincent lovingly pecks his nose. “i love you.”

Lucius knew he was making a stupid and selfish decision, but all concern about it melted away when that smile appeared. He was so beautiful, he was his best friend, and he loved him back. That would be enough. It had to be enough. “I love you too,” he said, so easily that he actually half sighed half chuckled. He’d been holding it back for so long that he felt like he needed to say it again. “Fuck, I love you so much.”

[better-than-you-malfoy]

his words felt like a breath of fresh air, a temporary relief to the never ending ache in his stomach. honestly, had lucius said these things even a year ago.. vincent would probably have a boyfriend right now. “i want you too, lucy.” the feelings of warmth and safety radiating off of him were near too much to bare. “it’s fairly impossible.. but, if you’re willing.. i’m more than happy to return to your bed each night..”

Merlin, his heart soared. He just wanted to hold onto Vince and never let go, but he knew he had to. Lucius had a difficult decision to make. If he said yes, he knew he would have to share Vince with... Merlin knows how many people. But if he said no, then... fuck, Lucius was wrong. He had no decision to make. He had no choice. He’d gotten a taste of what being with Vince was like and he couldn’t get enough. He nodded, moving his hands up to place one on either side of Vince’s face. “I’m willing,” Lucius chuckled before pulling him into a kiss.

“i’ve been engaged since i was six.. i didn’t have my first kiss til i was fifteen because i thought i wasn’t allowed to. i’m sick of being told i should settle down. why can’t i just be a kid?” keeping eye contact was no longer possible, his grip on lucius’ hand tight. “i’m sorry.. if you want a boyfriend.. i’m just not that guy..”

“I don’t want a...” he started, yet was somehow unable to finish the sentence. How come he could tell Vince he loved him and do all these sorts of things with a boy but still couldn’t say the word “boyfriend?” “I don’t know what I want.” He then shook his head. “That’s a lie. I want you. But I also want you to be a kid if that’s what you want. I want you to be happy, I want...” Lucius used his hand that Vince was holding to pull him in for a hug, kissing the dark haired boy on the forehead. “I just want you, okay? How much of an impossible dream is it?”

“ figured as much . ” an exaggerated sigh of defeat leave her lips and her head cants upwards as if the ceiling could offer her answers or at least give her a clue . when that doesn’t happen her throat lets out a frustrated sigh and her eyes shift back to their original position . “ of course not , as long as appearances are kept up no one cares what goes on behind the curtains . ”

“Right,” he chuckled sadly before blinking a few times. He quickly connected dots, tilting his head as he explained “Well, there it is. There’s our back up plan if we can’t find our way out of it.” He took another puff before shrugging. “At least there’s that. I wouldn’t be offended if you wanted to be with someone else while married to me. In fact, it’s only reasonable.”

“ it gets it over with quicker, ” a quick remark, pulling the cigarette out from between his lips to examine its diminished size. “ little by little’s for people who don’t have more important shit to do. ”

“What’s the point in smoking to begin with if you don’t want to take the time to enjoy the cancer?” he smirked, taking another puff before adding “Besides, what’s more important than talking to me?”

━☆ﾟ.*·。ﾟCLENCHING HIS FISTS, he wanted nothing more than to punch him in the face, but knew he had to behave. “THAT’S NOT WHY I’M MAD! YOU’RE JUST AN INCONSIDERATE ASSHOLE!” James screamed. He just hated Malfoy, really just hated him and his stupid face. But that was to be expected, right? Breathing deeply, his nostrils flared as he tried to figure out how to word this properly. “You don’t have to be so bloody rude about it! I could fly circles around you in my sleep!” James yelled, digging his nails into his palms, trying to keep himself calm. “Your job is to play a damn game not ruin my entire life!” His anger and hatred for Malfoy was years in the making. 

This was honestly pretty amusing to Lucius. Potter just looked mad yelling at him like this with no provocation. “In what way was I rude?” he asked, his eyebrows raised. “I’m not the one who stormed up to someone and threatened them for playing a game.” It was a genuine struggle to keep his expression calm rather than to just laugh at the Gryffindor’s ridiculousness. The mutual hatred between the two was there as long as Lucius could remember, and it actually fueled Lucius, in a way. Sometimes, when he needed a pick me up, he’d make some minor comment to set off Potter’s pathetically controlled temper. Really perked him up. “You really need to learn to keep that temper in check, Potter. It’ll get you into trouble some day, though I would love to be there when that day comes.”
