Problems in Sunnydale

"I'm known to be a bit protective with my friends, and considering that you are both vampires, I think I'll have the big brother talk with you" he smiled evilly. Giles groaned and put his head in his hands, and the two vampire gulped, there was something very frightening in Lucius's eyes.

Giles stayed with the unconscious Severus, while the other three left the room to go back to the living-room.

"Okay, than. What happened?" asked Lucius. The two vampire looked at each other confused.

"What do you mean?" asked Angel.

"Giles could barely look me in the eyes. He is happy, don't get me wrong, but there is something wrong- said the wizard.

"Our relationship is pretty new and Rupert is really shy" said Spike "we are not really sure why."

Lucius looked thoughtful for a second, then sat down on the couch.

"Ripper was always a bit shy. When we first met, he wouldn't look anybody in the eyes. We taught him, how to look more confident, how to radiate power, because he is powerful. When we left school we lost touch and now I come back and he is back at the first stage. I want to know what the fuck happened with my little brother" said Lucius forcefully.

"I think somebody happened with him" said Angel "He said some things, and from that I think there was somebody, who wasn't good with him."

"Okay, but if you don't help him, I'm gonna make sure that you meet with your end under the sun" said the blond wizard. Angel and Spike nodded. "I'm happy that we made it clear" smiled Lucius "now let's go back to the others" he stood up and went upstairs.

In the bedroom they found the others as they left them. Severus was asleep and Giles sat next to him. He looked up as they entered.

"Hi sweetheart" said Spike and he kissed the watcher "You have a really protective brother" he added. Giles blushed at this. Angel kissed Giles too. Lucius went to Severus and put his hand on his chest.

"Will he be alright, Ripper?" he asked worriedly. Giles looked at his friends. Lucius and Severus. They were always seemed cold to outsiders, yet they did everything for friends and family.

"Yes, everything will be fine. I healed every wound. The only problem is the severe blood lost, but after some sleep and food he will be ok" he paused and looked at Severus "he is still too skinny. He needs to eat more" he said. Lucius laughed dryly.

"In the past weeks we were on the road. We always apparated from one place to another. We didn't really have time to eat and Severus... he wanted to make sure that the kids are okay" Lucius said as he caressed Severus's chest.

"Now you can rest and eat" said Angel "I know I said it before, but I want to make sure that you know, that you can stay here for as long as you'd like. We have enough room for you all and we can place wards around this place so nobody can come in uninvited" Spike nodded alongside with Angel's speech.

"Thank you" said Lucius. There was silence for a few moments.

"We should go and see what the others are doing in kitchen" said Spike. Lucius stayed with Severus and the others left to the kitchen.
