Harry was slowly coming around and he knew even before his eyes opened he was not alone. He knew George had left the night before. He was expecting Lucius. He knew that his husband was not about to allow too many people through. He was surprised when he opened his eyes and found Severus next to him. He was reminded that he had been told that Severus was the one who had tended to him when he had been sick. He had been unconscious in and out for days now and the bed sticking spell had not been removed from him. He had not seen his husband since he had become ill.

Severus showed no reaction when he noticed Harry was awake for the first little bit. He continued to run a diagnostic on Harry. He wished the man would speak to him. He was feeling like he was some vegetable or something. He was aware when he was out someone had been in. He was not sure if it was an elf or his husband but he was alone other then that.

Harry finally grew tired of not being spoken to. "I am awake and not deaf. You can speak to me you know. Or has my husband given orders to ignore me."

Severus sighed. "I am sorry I was just concentrating Harry. And your husband is not ignoring you. Every time he comes near you, you try and hurt him."

Harry smirked. "He insisted on the damn bracelets. And what does he expect me to do now. He has me immobile. I could not try anything if I wanted to."

Looking at Harry for a moment Severus tried to explain. They either needed to get Harry strong with the IV in his arm or they would have to have him emitted to the hospital and put in restraints and on a feeding tube until he decided to become sensible about things. He could se Harry grow pale at the sounds of that. He ensured Harry that his fever was gone and they had got him back to health. And if he would agree to eat on his own they would remove the IV.

Harry sighed. "I will eat. Please just remove the bed sticking spell. I can't handle this any more. Please I want up."

Severus pointed at the IV. "I will remove that tomorrow if you eat your meals today. Some of the bonds have to remain so you will not pull that out."

Harry was fighting the tears. "I am not some small child. I can be trusted not to rip the needle from my arm. I can't eat properly one handed. Please."

Severus saw the pain in the boy's eyes. Lucius had told him what he had learned from George. He tended to believe Harry could be trusted. But Lucius had refused to let Harry be freed from it. He had removed Severus' original bonds and had put his own and had secured them to the dampeners. Severus could not help Harry. Lucius was the only on who could take any pity on his young husband and remove him from the bonds. He knew he needed to go and speak with Lucius and have him freed. He didn't think it would do anything but make Harry even more resentful of his husband down the line. Lucius really seemed deluded enough to think Harry would just be so honoured to be his husband that he would put up with this and still fall in love with Lucius.

Severus shook his head. "I would if I could Harry but I am sorry I can't remove them fully."

Lucius though had entered the room unnoticed with a lunch tray. "But I can. How is my husband Sev?"

Looking up at Lucius as he put down the tray Severus came him the full run down of everything. He eventually left the room and Lucius sat down with him. He could see the pain and fear in Harry. Harry had not shown it before. He knew the fact that his husband was bound to the bed was not helping anything at all. Harry's panic was rising when Lucius took out his wand. He tried to calm Harry down though.

He explained. "I will remove the bed sticking spell all together but you are to stay in bed till that IV has been removed."

Harry nodded. "It is not like I can go any where besides. Please just remove them. Please."

Lucius did it. "When the IV is out you have the freedom of the manor. You will find the rest of your things from home have been brought for you and are here."

Harry looked down at his hands and Lucius knew he was looking at the dampeners. He knew they were reminding Harry of the duct tape. He knew he should be able to handle a fifteen year old without them. He knew that Severus had made sense. As had George of course. Harry even with a wand was still a child. And as angry as h was he was not violent tempered or any real threat to Lucius. He was more a threat to himself.

His hands went to the first dampener. "We will be married when you get stronger but I am willing to give you six months to get used to the idea, before I bed you."

Harry was a bit surprised to hear that and he was not sure whether to believe that. "You said that I had to....."

Lucius shook his head. "You will move into my bed and with time you and I will get more intimate. But there will be six months between our wedding and sex."

He explained by old custom there would have been a year of courting before the bedding. Lucius had already given it to Harry. He had the year before he had been required to come here. It was not Lucius' fault his dads had not told him. But he was willing to see it might be easier to bed his little lion if Harry was slightly more accustomed to his presence. And he hoped maybe Harry would not be close to suicidal as well. It was not a bonding but thee ceremonies were as unbreakable except by death in laws and he did not want to spend the rest of his life or Harry's in constant feud with the boy.

Harry finally nodded. "Fine, I will marry you when I am stronger if you will give me the six months. And remove these dampeners please."

Lucius removed them. "You will be switching houses and even if not having sex you will share my bed and you will be a proper husband to me as well."

Harry rubbed his sore wrists. He had no idea what that entailed but he swore he would. Lucius brought over the lunch tray and reminded him he had promised to eat. Harry remembered the threat of the hospital and he promised he would eat. He wanted the IV out of his arm. He had always hated needles. He would have thought that wizards would have something magic but Lucius said they would have had to force him to drink potions down. Lucius stood to leave again reminding Harry his things had been returned to him, and he motioned to the bedside table where there was a book for Harry next to the bed.

He was about to leave when he turned back and handed Harry a package. "Your dads gave you that at school. A wedding gift I assume."
