Lucius runs his fingers down the side Severus' translucent face and stretches up on his knees to kiss Severus passionately. He wants Severus to know how important this conversation is to him. Lucius practically climbs into Severus' lap. "I love you, Severus."

Severus hugs Lucius tightly. "I love you too, my darling. Why don't we go to bed and then you can be as close to me as you want?"

Lucius sniffs softly and nods against Severus' body. If he thought he was exhausted by the emotionality of the day before Narcissa showed up it's ten times worse now. Severus scoops his distraught lover up in his arms. Severus walks over to the bed and lays Lucius down on the bed. Lucius immediately curls up in a ball and continues to cry.

Severus climbs onto the bed behind Lucius and rubs slow circles on Lucius' back. "It's going to be okay." Severus whispers.

"I feel like my world is falling apart." Lucius sobs.

"I'm always here for you. I'm not going anywhere. We can fix this. It will be okay, I promise." Severus says gently. Lucius rolls over to face Severus and sighs heavily. Severus reaches out and wipes away Lucius' tears. Severus lifts Lucius up and holds Lucius against his chest. Severus lies back on the bed and draws Lucius with him. Severus waves his wand to extinguish the lights in the room. He also makes sure the fire goes down a little bit. Severus hopes he's being a reassuring presence for Lucius. He notes that Lucius is still holding him quite tightly. Lucius also hasn't moved yet. Severus shifts slightly to move his arm that is under Lucius' body and quickly falling asleep. "Now sleep. The world will look a lot brighter tomorrow, especially without Narcissa barging in."

"Why won't Narcissa be dropping in again?" Lucius asks drowsily.

"I blocked her from our Floo. She can't get through now. Now sleep. I love you." Severus presses a kiss to Lucius' forehead and watches him fall asleep before he joins him.
