Chapter 11

\"So... even though you fell from that cage, it\'s fake?\"

\"Yep.\"

\"But you crashed through a table too! From the cage and through the table- and it\'s fake?\"

Shawn smiled and nodded. \"Yep, you see the table was made to break under me, breaking my fall with out killing me.\"

\"What about those holds? Those look painful... They can\'t be fake, right?\"

Shawn looked at the wide eyed 17 year old and gave a little sigh. It was like looking at himself when he found out the first time. \"Well Draco... No. Those aren\'t fake, and they do hurt a hell of a lot if the person doesn\'t know what they\'re doing.\"

\"Like that Masterpiece guy?\"

\"Yeah. It\'s not a killer hold, it\'s just a full nelson. And he\'s very reckless when he uses it and WHEN he actually wrestles, he doesn\'t watch out for his opponent.\" Shawn explained, Steven Richards coming to mind right away.

\"Like how he broke that guy\'s face with the polish hammer, right?\"

\"Yep. You\'re a quick learner, Draco. So as fake as it may be, real things can still happen to you. And look at me... I had to have my spine fused, my ACL removed, and I was out for a torn disk in my knee...\"

Draco gave him a thoughtful look, as he reached back to grab something in his pocket. He decided against it and put his hands back in his lap. \"Does my father know?\"

\"About my injuries? No.\" Shawn laughed. \"He barely wanted to know my name.\"

\"Well... my father\'s... different. He doesn\'t laugh, he doesn\'t smile, he doesn\'t show affection. That\'s because of our family. It\'s not proper to do those things. But he does care... I\'m trying really hard to do that too, because I need to be strong to take care of my mother. I need to be the man of the family now, since father has to hide out from the"�"� He stopped himself right away. Shawn didn't know about Voldemort, nor did he have to. Snape took care of that. "He... He can\'t come home.\" Draco said fidgeting. He couldn\'t tell Shawn about what they really were.

Shawn wanted to press on about that, but Draco looked so torn he decided not to. \"Well... how about this. The man of the family needs to know some hand to hand combat...\"

\"Are you going to show me how to wrestle?!\" Draco asked excitedly. He knew he wasn\'t supposed to like Shawn, but he couldn\'t help it. Shawn didn\'t care about Draco\'s curiosity, and he was happy to answer anything the boy asked. No one ever did that before. That, and the man was very attractive. His eyes were almost like theirs, but far more blue. His hair looked soft and shiny- and his face was... NO. He wasn\'t allowed to look at a muggle like this. Not only that, but one muggle that might just be his father\'s lover. Shawn was supremely off limits.

\"Yeah- But you gotta take the gear off first. It\'s not easy wrestling in chaps.\"

Draco eagerly started working on all the various clasps and buttons. But he stopped suddenly- and folded his hands in his lap. \"Maybe not at the moment... I think it\'s about time for us to go.\" He shouldn\'t spend too much time with Shawn- father was fickle with lovers, and hell... He could drop Shawn like a ton of bricks at any moment.

Shawn\'s face fell slightly. \"Oh, I see. But you\'re right, if it\'s time to go then I won\'t stop you. Next time you come, we\'ll work on it.\"

Next time. If there was a next time, that is. He could be killed at any moment when he went back. The same for father- if they caught him here, they\'d kill him on the spot. Shawn too. The poor man didn\'t even know what type of danger he was actually in. And far be it for either Lucius or Snape to tell him. He gulped heavily and nodded, rubbing at the tears in his eyes, hoping that Shawn couldn\'t see them behind the glasses. \"O-Okay.\"

Draco looked pretty upset, but who wouldn\'t be? The kid\'s father is a whole continent away from him. \"So, what part of Britain are you staying in?\" Shawn asked trying to move the conversation else where.

\"We\'re in.. in London...\"

Shawn grinned a little. \"I used to live in Britain too- My father was a colonel in the military, and we lived there for a few years when I was a kid. I loved it there, but I like here in Texas better. It\'s nice and warm here.\"

\"Yeah, no kidding.\" Draco laughed a little and took off the heart shaped sun glasses. \"I really like you, Shawn. I hope dad decides to keep you.\"

\"Keep me?\"

\"Well, he likes you alot- And you\'re a lot different than his other lovers. Most of the time, they\'re always quiet, small, and none of them talk to me. But he drops them like hot coals- he never has one for more than 2 months. Mostly because mother doesn't like the tramps being in the house."�

\"Is... Is he still married?\"

Draco looked at the unreadable expression on Shawn\'s face- it was like anger, but confusion too. The truth might put his father in the dog house, but for some reason, that didn\'t seem to bother him. \"Oh yes. He\'s very married. For 20 years.\"

Shawn\'s face darkened considerably. \"Oh. So I see.\"

\"Have you snogged with him yet?\"

\"...Yes. Once. But it was a small one. We did nothing else. And we won\'t do anything else either.\" Shawn said firmly. \"I thought he might have been divorced I guess I was VERY wrong.\"

\"Yep- because he\'s VERY married.\" Draco added again, putting major emphasis on the word.

---

\"What do you think they\'re talking about in there?\" I asked fumbling with my cup of tea.

\"Oh, I\'m sure Draco\'s just being... Draco.\" Snape said casually and then sipped at his tea.

\"That\'s what frightens me. It\'s far too quiet in there. I\'m going to go in.\"

But before I could, the door opened and out they came. Shawn smiled to Draco and took the bundle of gaudy clothes from him. \"Here, why don\'t you keep the sunglasses as a memento?\"

\"You mean it?\"

\"Yeah, you look good in them.\"

Draco beamed happily, and put them on. \"Thank you Shawn.\" However when he turned to me, he schooled his face back into an emotionless state- thata boy. \"I\'m ready to go, professor. Good bye Shawn! Good bye, father.\"

\"Draco, be good for Severus.\"

\"You don\'t need to tell me, father.\"

\"Lucius, we will be in touch. Please remember what we talked about.\"

\"Of course, Severus- It is of the up most importance.\" Of course I would never use magic around Shawn- I know the risks. The ministry could find me. Voldemort could find me. Not to mention trying to explain what I am. I watched my son and my closest friend leave us out the door- trying to get used to the fact that they didn\'t go through the fire place or use magic. But with them finally gone... I can get back to Shawn and what they were talking about for so long. \"Shawn...\"

The blonde looked to me with a blank expression, and crossed his arms. \"Yes, Lucius?\"

\"Did... Did Draco tell you much?\"

\"He told me enough.\"

Draco wouldn\'t tell Shawn of what we actually are- the boy\'s not stupid... \"Oh, he did.\" But I had to know. \"What, exactly.\"

\"For starters... He told me that you happen to be... Married. For 20 years. And you\'re kissing me like it\'s no big deal?! I know you\'re a nasty, down right snobbish man, but a rat? How could you kiss me, while you have a wife waiting for you back home?!\"

\"Sh-Shawn, listen to me!\"

\"NO! I don\'t want to listen you right now- I\'m so pissed at you, I can\'t look at you.\" He muttered pushing past me to head up the stairs.

Anything I would have tried to tell him he wouldn\'t have listened to me. Not with that attitude. I\'ll have to wait to speak to him again, perhaps in a day or so. For now, I\'ll just ride out the storm down stairs thinking of a way to explain the estranged relationship between my wife and I. It's a little different with Shawn- he doesn't know of our family. The temptation to use magic was never as strong as it was now, but even with him being as mad as he is at me, I can't bring myself to use it even to better my situation.

Wh"�What's happened to me?
