Snape climbs off him and reaches for his clothes. Lucius does the same. As soon as they're both properly clothed, Lucius dives on Severus and smashes their lips together. "I love you." He mutters. "As do I." Snape responds. "Please.. forgive me for what I said just now, while you were on top of me. I respect you. I honestly do." Snape shrugs. "I understand. I enjoyed it, too." Lucius kisses his neck. "Do you.. wish to do it again? Tomorrow night? Every night, if you wish." Severus nods. "Not in that way. Not we just did. I have something else in mind for tommorow night." Lucius smirks. "Really." They kiss again. Lucius turns around. "I really must leave. I have.. duties to attend to." Severus places his hand on his shoulder. "I could help, if you'd like." Lucius smiles. "No, it is my responsibility. Grading papers and such.. as is my duty as an educator. You most likely also have things to do. I did sort of... come in... uninvited." "Uninvited does not mean unwelcome." Snape remarks. "Did you not tell me to leave? And then proceeded to throw insults at me?" Lucius asks. Severus looks at him, his expression full of remorse. "You know I didn't mean it. I was hurting. I said I didn't want to see you. But that.. was a lie. You were the only person I wanted to see." Lucius wraps his arms around Severus, hugging him. Snape almost jumps. As far as he could remember, he's almost never been hugged. And he would never expect Lucius to hug anyone. Severus slowly, apprehensively, hugs him back. "I'm glad that you offered to help.. but I have to be responsible for my work. I still feel a twinge of guilt sometimes when I remember how I used to have you do my potions homework, back when we were in school." Severus smiles. "It was nothing, honestly." He remarks. Lucius kisses him passionately, catching him off his guard. He quickly pulls back. "Thank you for everything. I must leave. I love you." He says quickly. "I love you, too." Severus mutters to Lucius as he rushes out the door, closing it behind him. Even in his absence, the room still smells of him. Severus quickly locates the sorce of the scent, pinpointing it as his cloak. He quickly realizes that the cloak he wears is not his, but Lucius's. He must have grabbed the wrong one.. they do tend to wear similar clothes.. he pulls it up to his face and smells it. He slowly savors the scent. Finally reunited with the man who broke his heart. But Severus doesn't feel as though his heart was ever broken. He feels whole again. He looks over at the chair where they passionately fornicated moments earlier. He smiles to himself as he falls asleep at his desk, physically drained and utterly exausted.


Lucius shuts and locks the door to his office. He makes eye contact with his reflection in the mirror. He quickly releases that he's wearing a different cloak then when he left. Severus's cloak. He sighs. They must've gotten mixed up.. well, he's sure Severus doesn't mind. He'll return it tommorow. It smells of him... he inhales the scent. On second thought, maybe he'll keep it. He sits down to grade papers and homework from earlier that day. He thinks of Severus and his sweet, sweet moans. It's hard to believe that he ever left. Severus is all he's ever wanted. He may have only just realized it, but it was the truth. He wished he could have stayed with him for longer...
