Severus stood, gazing at the wall when he suddenly felt strong hands grasp his hips. His eyes widened at the feel and his struggled to turn around until he felt a tongue on his neck. He partly melted..that is, until he heard the cold voice that belonged to none other than Remus.

"Relax, I'm not going to hurt you." He said softly. Severus nodded softly. He wasn't fully sure of what Remus was doing, but he had said he wasn't going to hurt him and Remus would stay true to his word, right? Wrong.

Within minutes, Remus had Severus on the bed, stomach down. He penetrated Severus suddenly and Severus whimpered in pain. He felt another pair of hands then. Colder. Then the biting pain that the silver claw had caused earlier...except now, there was two. He glanced back to see Sirius Black digging two silver claws into his back maliciously. Suddenly, Severus screamed.

"Severus!" Lucius awoke him roughly. Severus looked up into the now worried, silver-gray, eyes of Lucius with his own dark brown, teary, eyes. Severus buried his head into Lucius's chest and began to sob. Lucius stroked Severus's back softly, trying to comfort him, but to no avail. Lucius grabbed Severus's face softly with both hands and pulled his head up so that he could look at him.

"Severus...tell me what happened in your dream, please." Lucius said softly, rubbing the tears from Severus's cheeks with his thumb. Severus nodded and then spilt the dream out, choking a sob back every now and then. Once he was finished Lucius pulled him closer to him, enveloping him in his arms, his head resting on Severus's. He quietly mumbled things to calm Severus down, and rocked back and forth just a bit. Soon, Severus had stopped crying, but still, he looked forlorn and sad, which Lucius could understand him feeling at the moment.

Gently, Lucius cupped Severus's chin and then he brought his lips upon the younger boy's. He kissed him deeply once and was suprised to see that Severus wasn't objecting to him. He slowly felt himself being pushed back down onto his bed and realized it was Severus who was doing it. He then laid down, then began to unbutton Severus's shirt. And Severus did the same to him. Lucius was about to remove the article of clothing from Severus, but Severus shook his head, then wrapped his arms around Lucius, inside his shirt, and rested his head on his chest. Slowly, they both drifted back to sleep.

Severus awoke to see that Lucius wasn't in the bed anymore. He heard water running and he had it figured out rather quickly. Lucius was already up and in the shower. Severus sighed and laid back down in the bed, a small smile on his thin lips. A smile that was rarely ever there because of the pain and torment he always went through. It was a smile of contentment, of a rare happiness that he ever felt, of that rare warmth he felt in his chest. Was this real happiness, or was it only his imagination? He shook his head, not wanting to think about anything that could possibly hurt him again at the moment.

Within minutes of his waking, Lucius came out of where his bathroom was and sauntered over towards Severus. He was already dressed, and in very fine fashion to that matter. Severus blushed a bit. Lucius looked much better than he did. Of course, Severus was only in night wear. Lucius raised an eyebrow at what he hoped was his lover, and then sat down beside him. He moved a strand of Severus's hair back behind his ear. Lucius was a bit suprised at the feeling of Severus's hair. It wasn't greasy, just thick, healthy, and overly shiny. He smirked a bit. The boy had quite wonderful hair. Lucius quickly scooped Severus up in his arms. Severus just about rolled out of his arms in suprise, but of course, Lucius held on to him tightly. Lucius smirked happily and walked into the bathroom where he set Severus down on his feet softly.

"You ought to get ready. I'll see you at breakfast, okay? Don't keep me waiting." Lucius said softly, then kissed Severus on the cheek. Severus blushed, then nodded. He watched the platinum blonde haired boy strode elegantly out of the room. Severus sighed happily once more, before turning on the shower and stepping in.

He was quickly through, since long, hot showers had never really appealed to him. As he stood in the bathroom, wrapped in just a towel, he remembered he didn't have any clothes. He rolled his eyes before grabbing his wand, which happened to have been laying in his discarded clothing on the floor.

"Accio clothes." He said rather blandly and within minutes, his clothes burst through the door. Severus raised an eyebrow then shook his head. He looked at what had came to see that he had a white, long sleeved, button up shirt, rather casual looking actually, a pair of black pants, his robes, and some black doc martens. He nodded, pretty nice. He quickly put his clothes on, then exited out of the bathroom. He quickly left Lucius's room and began walking down the halls, slightly hurriedly. He was afraid of running into Potter's gang, especially today. But of course, they weren't behind him, they were right in front of him.

As Severus began to round a corner, he heard their voices. Remus's was the loudest of them all, seeming to be full of pride, and, by the way he was speaking, he seemed to be showing off. Severus sighed and rolled his eyes once again, he hoped Remus wasn't gloating over what he thought. But of course, Sirius Black's shouts made it rather apparent.

"What a little slut that Snape is! First, you rape him, then he goes to bed with Malfoy! Ha, he's quite the whore, eh? And, I would have thought Malfoy would have had a bit of a better taste than that greasy git." was what Sirius said. Severus's blood was practically boiling inside his veins. He jaw was clenched tight, and he could feel his jugular vein pulsing against his neck harder than ever. Finally, after more of their talk, he couldn't take it any longer. He stood up and turned the corner to face them, wand drawn, and robes slightly billowing.

Remus was the first the notice him. He nudged James, who nudged Sirius, and they all three looked at the rather pissed off Slytherin. Suddenly, Sirius began laughing.

"Remus, James, I do believe he heard us talking about him. I mean, look at him. His robes a- billowing, his jaw clenched, wand out, and he's standing rather squared up at us. I'm pretty sure he's royally pissed." Sirius said in a teasing voice. Remus smirked, and James smiled a wicked, trademark, Potter smile. Severus stared at them, still completely angered. Remus smirked once again, then walked swankily over to him, his shabby, yet taut clothes showing every muscle of his detailed body. He wrapped an arm around Severus's neck then lowered his mouth to Severus's ear, where he licked and bit the earlobe in a mocking manner. Severus's eyes widened and he quickly slapped Remus away. How dare he do that to him after what he'd done last night!

"I like them feisty." Remus said with a smirk. Sirius made a noise behind him and he looked up from Severus's eyes to see Lucius Malfoy glaring down at him. Remus's eyes widened a considerable amount and he smiled innocently as he backed up. He could already hear Sirius and James walking backwards away from them.

"Don't you dare touch or talk to Severus, Lupin. If I see you near him once more, I promise to castrate you in the Great Hall." Lucius snarled. Severus had to smirk at the expression that came across Remus's face. It was pure fright and bewilderment. He heard Remus gulp and watched as he nodded, before, very clumsily, running down the hall. Severus looked up at Lucius when he felt his hand on his shoulder. Lucius's face was worried, as were his words. "Are you okay? They didn't hurt you, did they?" Severus shook his head.

"No. They just mocked me, that's all. Nothing very painful. Maybe hurt my pride a bit, but nothing too bad." He lied. Luckily, he was good at lying. Lucius nodded before hugging him quickly. Severus had to smile as his head was pressed against Lucius's chest. His heart was pounding, and Severus was trying to decide if it was from worry, anger, or if Lucius was just nervous because he was hugging him.

"Severus, I must go, dear. I have to get to class, you know. Do tell me if those creeps do anything. I really would like to castrate them." Lucius said with a wink. Severus smiled meekly before nodding. With a very chaste kiss, Lucius spun on his heel and swept down the hall in a flurry of silvery blonde and black. Severus stared at him for a moment, and decided he didn't feel hungry, and that he didn't want to eat anyway. So, he just headed for his class, Charms, where he was sure something interesting was going to happen. Maybe. He sighed as he opened the door to the classroom, then his eyes widened and his mouth dropped as he looked into the room.
