Title: The Ice Queen's Rage
Pairing: Lucius x Severus, Rabastan x Narcissa
Rating: Teen
Prompt: 226. Severe
~~o-O-o~~
Lucius stares at Severus, his heart beating wildly within his chest. How did this happen? One moment, they had been exchanging chaste kisses with each other. In the next, the Dark Lord stormed through his Manor, his wand brandished threateningly. He had pointed the damned thing at Severus and snarled out a curse, watching in vindictive glee as the man fell to the floor in pain.
He had tried to get Lucius, but he was too late. Narcissa, who had just returned from her trip to France, had been enraged. With eyes darkened with malice, she singlehandedly fought the Dark Lord, her anger making her even more deadly. In the end, she had rushed them both here, desperate to get them medical attention.
Lucius, having only had minor wounds, now stands next to her in front of Severus' hospital bed, self-loathing already settling deep within his stomach.
"It's going to be okay," Narcissa whispers to him, reaching out to cover his hand with hers. "Severus is a fighter."
"You don't know how bad it was, Narci," he says softly. "The beating he took was severe. I know Severus has endured horrible things, but this…?"
"He's going to survive, Lucius," Narcissa says, her voice brimming with confidence. "Severus loves you. He'd never leave you here alone. Merlin knows what you'd do."
That coaxed a grin out of the Malfoy patriarch.
"Thanks, Narci," Lucius eventually said, breaking the silence around them. Narcissa grins and leans in to kiss his cheek.
"No problem. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a sexy man to get back to."
"Haha, have fun," Lucius advised, winking. Narcissa merely grins, a feisty glint in her eyes.
"You know I will."
