Severus lay back and again Lucius watched his every move and every facial expression, but after some time excitement went into annoyance. He was tired of sitting in bed and waiting. It was only reminding him of what he wanted to do very badly with the boy.

Lucius went up and and headed straight to his wardrobe. He sighed dramatically while roaming through its contents. When Lucius heard the bed sheets rustle behind him, he suppressed a chuckle that was threatening to escape him and said as if it saddened him.:"Well, I thought of giving these to you at Christmas, as gifts. But now that you are here I have to buy you other ones and give these to you since I am not able to wait any further." Smiling he returned to the bed with a small package wrapped in petrol-green with a silver bow.

Severus was watching him with big eyes until Lucius sat down in front of him and held out the present. As Severus was about to grab it, Lucius withdrew it with a quick but graceful move. He tutted in a mocking way that got him a glare from Severus. "Did your mother taught you no manners?", with that he watched the little boy getting angrier by the second, then.:"Can I have it, 'please'?". Lucius watched, as if he was deciding by himself, then told him.:"One more thing... and you can have it!"

With that he slightly turned his face and came a bit closer, so Severus had his profile in front of him. The dark-haired boy blinked a few times but then it hit him. He gave a small peck on Lucius cheek, it was so soft to the touch of his lips, though the young man had not shaved that morning. Lucius could not stop himself from humming slightly in appreciation. Such an innocent kiss, it was pure heaven... and hell to him.

He handed the gift to Severus, who in turn opened it slowly, as if he was going to memorize the moments bit by bit. Eventually he saw the present itself and his eyes were getting bigger and bigger. He held the fabric in front of him, struggling with the words, that would not come out.

I was an emerald-green velvet Robe. Its high set collar was brocaded with gold. And it was all over embroidered with silk in various green tones, like chartreuse, jade, celadon and even a bit of light moss green. The patterns were dragons and winged snakes. But the buttons were what intrigued Severus most, blue Opal! He would never tell anyone, but he loved Opal. He stood up and held it in front of him, astounded by the wonderful sight it was to his eyes.

Lucius took the possibility, slowly rose and walked right behind the little boy, who was very quiet for some time. He then put his hands on each side of Severus waist and softly spoke into his ear.:"I hope it is to your liking. I hired the most sought after Artists from France and China. Maître Étienne Éstranger and Master Wufei Wuong. The stones have been selected by myself in Australia. ...Please Severus tell me, do you like it?"

"Thank you, I don't know what to say, I really like it. ...But you didn't have to...", before Severus could say any more Lucius had touched his finger to the boy's lips, hushing him. He took away the robe from Severus' hands and opened one button after another, timidly he put it on the slight boy's shoulders, turned him very slowly and drank in the sight that was Severus. "Such a delight, Severus.", Lucius softly stroked the boys cheek with his thumb and sighed almost inaudible.

Severus spoke hesitantly.:"I am sorry, but I cannot take it." Lucius gaze had focused again at that and he stared down to the child, while speaking sternly.:"You cannot just give back a gift, Severus.", then in a softer tone, "Besides, there is something else in the box." Severus slowly took the gift-box and went through the gift wrappings again with his fingers. He could feel after a moment something cold, something that was moving like it had a life of its own. He took it out and saw a silver chain appearing with a silver pendant and a green gem.

As Lucius heard a gasp coming from the dark beauty, he couldn't hold back a smile any longer. "Lucius, I cannot possibly... that must be pure Silver!", Severus almost squeaked at the end. "No, my dear boy. That's pure platinum, and the gem is a garnet, to be precise an uvarovite. Very precious, because it is very rare. It is the birthstone for your month January. This one alone costs so much, it could feet a whole family for years. Promise me to never lose it, Severus! It is not as if I could not effort another one, but this one is so beautiful just like you."

He took away the necklace and closed its closure after putting it on Severus slight neck. Albeit Lucius didn't intend to, he gave a small kiss at Severus neck, and he could feel the boy trembling, it was delicious. His fingers trailed a path along the jaw line that was too strong and hard for such a young child and caressed a cheek with his other hand. "Whatever they tell you, Severus. You are more worth than this robe or the necklace. I would never waste my time with something meaningless." Lucius could here another gasp and he relished it.

"Is my little Raven hungry? I think we should have breakfast.", Lucius whispered in Severus ear, the hot breath tickling the boy. Even when Lucius took the boy by his hand, softly pushed him down on the bed and hand fed him, the spell would not release Severus. For it had to be a spell, else Severus would never, ever have let himself being treated like that.

After that the week-end was rather spent quiet and amiable, though Lucius would never touch him like that again. He had to be sure that Severus wanted it himself and came for it the next time. But this week-end they would read, talk laugh eat and share a bed only in brotherly ways. Lucius caught Severus a few times, when the boy would touch his necklace absent-minded. It gave Lucius the shivers in a very positive way and he had to will himself into patience.
