It had been rough since Jade had woken up for though he was anxious to ride and had been talking; he was suffering serious mood swings. Harry would flare up from time to time and they were worried he was not integrated as they had thought. But Andromeda had reminded them it would take time and Jade, the name Harry had chose to continue using eve as he was integrating, just needed time to heal. He had been suffering nightmares at night and though he didn't cry out at all he would silently whimper until Lucius drew him into his arms and held him through the night. Harry would settle in his arms and sleep peacefully when he was doe, Lucius grateful that Jade had refused to be allowed to move into the bedroom across the hall for he had little doubt Jade would never have slept. Remus had told him from what he knew nothing had changed for he knew that Harry had known how to throw silencing spells since he was little,
Remus and Severus had come to stay at the manor for now, the school of course still closed till the fall and now looking for a new headmaster, likely Minerva. They knew after what Jade had suffered it was needed even more then before. They would have stayed here when Jade had come to Lucius right away but they had not wanted the headmaster to be suspicious for Severus always spent a lot of time at school. Technically he spent a lot of the holidays at the manor but Remus being there would have raised some questions even when word came out that they were dating. Sirius came a lot as well and was keeping his word about Remus' relationship and had further been good about the way Jade and Lucius were. All of this had helped him even more then after the accident, how much Lucius cared for Jade.
It had been decided that Jade would remain dead, well Harry Potter that was. When Harry was ready to come back into the real world they would give him a new life. Most of his friends and the life he had left behind had proven how little they had cared about him. Those who had remained loyal like Neville and Luna would know. But not even the Weasleys other then the twins had even pretended to mourn Harry when they thought he was dead, not really.
It was nearly a month after Jade was retuned and Lucius went to kiss Jade on the head when he woke up but Jade tenderly kissed his lips. "Jade?"
Jade blushed a tiny bit and suddenly was playing shy. "I'm sorry."
Shushing his beloved and gently returning the kiss Lucius assured him he had nothing to apologize for. If he felt comfortable kissing Lucius again he could. Jade had been scared for his master had not touched him at all since he had been taken by Uncle Sev and Uncle Moony, not even before he returned and was sent back. He kissed Jade on the head like a small child and held him when he was scared but he had not done anything else.
Jade watched him. "You haven't touched or kissed me since I went to stay with my Uncles. Don't you like me any more? You don't want to touch me any more."
Lucius ran a hand down his face. "I love you my precious Jade. I treated you like a toy before. I will again but only when you want me to and I know you're ready."
Taking Jade into his arms he explained he would regret to the day he died that he had been forced to treat Jade like a puppy dog. Jade didn't seem to remember for he had sectioned off that part of his brain but there had been a lot of fear, pain and anger in Harry when he had first been taken, He had not broken for some time and Lucius all too clearly remembered the shackle, the choke chain collar, and all the times he had forced his beautiful little love to have sex with him.
Jade had become so innocent and in many ways a child since he had become Jade. Lucius didn't want to take that away from him. He wanted Jade to have every chance at a real happy life. If Jade chose to be with him of his own free will, he would be, for Lucius still loved him dearly, but Lucius would wait till it was his choice.
Lucius ran a loving hand through his hair. "It is why I have tried to move you. It's not that I don't want you in my bed. But I want you here of your own desire."
Jade snuggled up into his arms. "I don't want sex; it hurt so bad, he hurt me so bad. But I want to be with you, I don't want to go away. I will please you."
Sighing Lucius assured his little one he didn't need to offer his body to please Lucius, he was not some kind of whore. Lucius was just happy to have his beautiful love home and safe with him. He had thought after the first few weeks when Jade offered his body every time they were in bed and sobbed himself to sleep when Lucius refused to touch him, that they had got past this stage. But it seemed the progress in bed they had made had disappeared after his kidnapping and rape. Jade refused to talk to them about what had happened other than the fact that he had been forced to eat kibble. Lucius hoped with time he would but he wouldn't push it. But knowing he had been forced to eat kibble and Fred had reported he had bee in a dog bed and chained, Lucius could imagine what Jade had been through.
He helped Jade from the bed. "Fred and George are coming this morning to spend the day with you and I am certain they would prefer you clothed."
