Warnings: Implied slash
Pairing: Lucius/ Arthur Molly/Arthur
Summary: Lucius knows what he's putting Arthur through.
Disclaimer: If you recognize it, I do not own it and never will.
"Knock, knock."
Arthur starts at the rich, low voice sounding from the doorway of his office. His eyes widen as he recognizes the voice. Lucius. His heart slowly sinks in his chest. Oh dear…
"Arthur?" Lucius says, inquisitively, while stepping into the office from the doorway.
Arthur clears his throat then says hoarsely, "I'm here."
Lucius grins [Wow! I didn't know he could grin!] and walks closer to the place where Arthur is sitting, hidden behind all the random items stacked in his office. "Wonderful, that means this doesn't have to be delayed any longer."
Arthur notices Lucius' grin and leans backward in dismay. He sighs tiredly while bringing his hand up to rub his forehead. "Lucius," he begins quietly. "We are no longer a-a," Arthur stutters, with the Famous Weasley blush coloring his face before he collects himself. "We are no longer-"
Lucius interrupts before Arthur can finish his sentence. "Yes, Arthur. I know we are no longer together," and there he pauses to admire the renewed blush on Arthur's face. "That is not the reason I came here. The reason I came here is to tell you," here he steps closer to Arthur with the grin fading into a more serious look. "Arthur, I have come here to say please, please don't forget me. Don't forget us. Don't let anything I say or do later affect your memories of me. But, I'm glad you've moved on with your life. I'm sure Molly is a good wife and will be good for you. I'm sure you will live a much happier life with her than you ever could with me." Here, Arthur tries to interrupt but is stopped by Lucius' finger on his lips. "Shush. Arthur, we both know it's true. Arthur, listen to my words and please do not forget them. I am so sorry but you know this is the way it's got to be." Here, Lucius pauses with a hitch in his breath. He stares at Arthur for a moment, who was making no movement to get away from the fingers on his lips as tears slowly filled his eyes. "I will always love you Arthur." And with that horribly painful truth, and one last unidentifiable look, Lucius slowly walked out of Arthur's office and his life forever. He left Arthur sitting alone in his office with tears in his eyes, a heavy heart, and a feeling that he will never be able to forget.
Keep
a light on those you love
They will be there when you die
Baby
there's no need to fear
Baby there's no need to cry
You
fuse my broken bones
Back together and then
Lift the weight of
the world
From my shoulders again

I think I got a little dramatic there at the end. :D
