Chapter 6: Trust
Harry was in his study reading or rather the book was in his hand but his mind was on other things. Since their first date he and Lucius have spent every waking moment together. The picnic on their second date was romantic, even with Teddy there. After the second game the third, fourth they were inseparable. And, after each date they would kiss, each one becoming more passionate than the previous. Harry found that when he was not spending time with Teddy, he would go looking for the older wizard. He was usually in his office going over reports for the businesses he owned. They each took turns putting Teddy to bed, sometimes even doing it together. Harry found it endearing when Lucius would read to Teddy and the boy would do nothing but stare up in the man’s face. Harry took to carrying around muggle and wizard cameras to catch moments between Teddy and Draco or Lucius and Teddy. There were also ones he snuck in of Lucius and Draco.
As promised Lucius did invest in muggle technology, as of now there was a section of the manor that did not have any magic surrounding it. It had a muggle style movie theater with surround sound and comfortable seats. They had a mini concession counter also built. Now on family movie nights, which are something Harry started, they could have freshly popcorn and soft drinks. The rooms adjacent to the theater were hooked up with wi-fi so that Harry could go on the Internet. They went back to muggle London and purchased laptops for each of them, he showed both Malfoys how to use a computer. Draco was fascinated with muggle technology and could be found sitting in front of the computer daily searching on Google. Harry himself started writing his first book with the encouragement of both Malfoys.
A knock sounded at the door. Instead of getting up to open it, he called for the person to enter it was Draco. Since their talk they had become very close. It was weird really, he told Draco things he never shared with Ron and Hermione. They had gotten so close that at the moment Harry was able to see that something was wrong, simply by the look on Draco’s face, in the time he got to know Draco he became very protective of his friend.
“What’s the matter Dray?”
“I don't know Harry, I think the twins are avoiding me. I went to see them yesterday,” He said taking a seat dejectedly “and they told me they were too busy to talk. They claimed they had an important meeting with an investor who was willing to help them open a new shop in Hogsmeade and one in France.”
“Are you sure? I am pretty sure if they did not want to see you they would have told you. Maybe it was just business and nothing else.” Harry did not know what to say. For one he was pissed, how dared the twins make Draco feel unwanted? Draco had a lot to offer: he was handsome, funny and very intelligent. Additionally, he was rich; they could not do any better than Draco Malfoy. He will reserve his judgment until he spoke to the twins himself. “I tell you what, let’s not think about them for the rest of the day. How about you, me and Teddy have a boys day out?”
Draco looked at him skeptically, “What do you have in mind? I thought you would be spending the night with Father, you two have been joined at the hips these days.”
Harry blushed as that was true, he and Lucius have been spending a lot of time together but he still made time for friends. “How we go out and have some guy fun just us, no adults cramping our style.”
Draco seemed to think about it he pulled Harry into a hug and said, “Ok it’s a date.”
Just as Draco said those words Harry heard “what’s a date?” He turned from Draco’s arms to see his husband and soon hopefully to be lover standing at the door with rage in his eyes. That caught Harry off guard; did Lucius honestly think that he and Draco had something going on? To make it worse Draco moved his arm around Harry’s waist and pulled him close.
“Harry, Teddy and I are going out for some guy fun.” Without stopping he turned to Harry and said “I will go get Teddy ready and meet you in the floo room while you say goodbye to Father. And Harry thank you for this I think this is what I really needed.” He leaned in and kissed Harry on the cheek as a gesture of good faith. He pulled his arm from his waist and walked out of the room not looking back to see the rage in his Father’s stormy grey eyes.
“Would you mind telling me what the fuck is going on between you and Draco?”
Harry was shocked at first and the more he thought about it the angrier he got “What the hell is your problem?”
“Why was Draco hugging you, what the bloody hell was that kiss about and where in merlin’s name are you going tonight?”
Harry could not believe that Lucius was questioning him spending time with his own son. “Are you accusing me of something Lucius because if I were you I would be very careful of what you say next?”
Crossing his arms, his stance showed he was ready for a fight. “I don't know Harry, should I have something to accuse you of? What were you and Draco talking about before I came in here?”
“Draco and I…” Harry started to explain but stopped. Lucius was jealous for no reason “You know what I do not owe you an explanation, what I do with or without Draco or anyone else for that matter.” He pushed pass Lucius and went to meet Draco and Teddy. He could hear Lucius calling him back but he was not in the mood to argue. He simply wanted to spend time with his son and stepson. He walked into the floo room, he and his boys floo’ed out with no real destination in mind before his husband could stop him.
Lucius was pissed. He walked into his library to see Severus reading a book with a glass of scotch. He walked over to his liquor cart picked up the bottle of fire-whiskey. He poured himself a tall glass before taking a sip and throwing it at the fireplace. How dare he leave right in the middle of an argument and with Draco nonetheless. He walked over to the wingback chair hurling his body into it, sighing loudly.
“What, trouble in paradise?” Severus drawled.
He looked over at his friend, “I am not in the mood for your deviousness, Severus.”
Closing his book, “Potter finally showed his true colors I see?” Setting the book on the table beside his chair, “Tell me, what has he done this time?”
Lucius explained to Severus what he walked into between Harry and Draco. Severus did not interrupt him when he was finished the man looked at him as if expected there to be more.
“Is that it, you walked in on Draco telling him it’s a date?” Lucius nodded “They are currently out have a guys night out with little Lupin?”
“It’s Potter-Malfoy but yes.”
Severus leaned back in his chair crossed his legs as if he found something uninteresting in front of him. “Lucius, I am no Potter fan but could it be that you misunderstood whatever you walked in on?”
“How…”
“Let me finish. One thing that I know about Potter is that he is loyal to those he consider his. From the way he looks at you as if your every word hangs the moon, I can honestly say that he would not be unfaithful to you. Your relationship with Narcissa was built on lies and as much as it pains me to say this I think Po..no Harry is perfect for you. Don’t ruin the chance to be happy Lucius, do not open yourself up to your insecurities.” He got up and walked over to his friend leaned over and kissed his forehead then looked into his eyes, “I understand now that I will never be the lover you need. You tried to tell me but I would not listen you need someone who will challenge you, not someone who will give into to your every whim.” He moved away and walked out of the library leaving Lucius to his thoughts.
Maybe Severus was right. Even though he had his lovers there was never any trust between them from the moment their courting contract was signed. Shit he thought he really fucked up this time how was he going to fix it. Harry was not one of his paramours where he could buy them a little trinket to say he was sorry for not meeting him this week. He sighed running his hands through his hair. How was he going to tell Harry he was sorry for misunderstanding that he saw. He moved over to the sofa-stretching out he was going to wait up for Harry so that they could talk.

Draco watched his friend play with his stepbrother at a muggle park that was not too far from the manor. He chuckled at the thought that if someone told him he would not only be the stepson of but friends with the boy-who-lived, he would have hexed their balls off. Their friendship started out a bit tense but eventually they started talking and realized they had a bit in common. Harry was easy to talk to you, who knew he could be fun? He knew Harry was falling in love with his Father; they both deserve some happiness in their lives. If only he could get the twins to look at him the way his Father and Harry looked at each other, he would be happy.
Thinking of the twins made his heart ached, why did they not want him? He gave them a part of himself that was only reserved for his future spouse. He looked up when he heard Harry laughed. He wasn’t an idiot; he knew Harry and his Father argued before they left. He guessed he could be blamed partly for it. He was not trying to give his Father the impression that there was something going on between him and Harry. The twins ignoring him really messed with him. The least he could do is get Harry home so that he and Father could talk. He walked over to Harry and Teddy. Harry was trying to show Teddy how to blow bubbles but instead Teddy was more interested in bursting the bubbles rather than blowing them.
“Hey, how about we head back to the manor?” He said as he walked over to the laughing pair.
“Why? Our guys day out is not over, I was thinking we could go get some lunch then head out to see a movie right, Teddy?” He said has he pinched Teddy’s chubby cheeks.
“I know you and Father argued before we left, I am partly to blame, it only hit me after we left that he might have misunderstood our action. I am sorry Harry, I did not think.”
“Draco you have nothing to be sorry for, your Father has insecurities that he needs to work out. He should be able to trust that I would not cheat on him with anyone, least of all his son for Merlin’s sake.”
Draco was nodding his head. “I agree, and I know you are trying to make me feel better. But I think that you need to go back to the manor and work things out with Father. How about I take the little tyke for the rest of the day while you and Father talk?” He took Teddy from Harry, “What do you say little Teddy, how about spending the rest of the day with your big bro.” For his effort, he got a giggle from the baby.
“Are you sure about this Draco, I wanted to make you feel better.”
“I'm sure Harry. You make my Father happy, it’s nice to see him smile. Go on back to the manor, Teddy and I will be just fine.”
Harry smiled, leaned in and kissed Draco on his cheek then leaned over and kissed Teddy on his forehead “Be good for your big brother,” he told Teddy.
Draco watched as he walked over to the apparition point he turned and waved as he disappeared. Draco looked down at the baby in his hand “You know Teddy, I am pretty sure I will not be the only big brother in the manor soon.” Again, the tyke gave him a toothless smile.
*Back at Malfoy Manor*
Harry apparated to the front door of the manor; he wasted no time walking inside. He knew exactly where to find Lucius. He walked into the library stopping at the entrance of the door to see the man sleeping on the sofa. Harry could not believe how handsome the man was. His head was tucked into the corner of the sofa, both hands resting on his toned abs. As if sensing Harry was there, grey storm eyes opened looking right at him. Taking off his sneakers, he made his way over and laid his body on top of Lucius’s muscular one. Lucius’s arms automatically moved to hold him around his waist. Harry rested his head above his heart, closing his eyes.
“I’m sorry,” was said huskily. “I jumped to the wrong conclusion as to what was happening between you and Draco.” Instead of answering, Harry nodded his head “Narcissa and I had a marriage that was built on lies and infidelity on both our parts. I do not want that for us. I want us to be able to trust each other in everything. It was wrong of me to assume that you would ever cheat on me, much less with Draco.”
Harry lifted his head from Lucius’s chest, “I can understand that, but I am not the kind of person who cheats Lucius, you need to know that about me.”
Lucius raised his hand and carded his fingers through Harry’s hair. “I know that Baby, I just let my jealousy and insecurities get the best of me. I know you are not in love with me yet but it hurts me to think that you would ever give your heart to someone else when I am the one that wants to be the only keeper of it. I am glad that you and Draco are getting along Harry. But I am possessive of those that I consider mine.”
Harry gazed in those grey eyes that he loved so much; he could not deny that Lucius’s possessiveness was a bit of a turn on. It made him feel wanted for the first time in his life. “You're right. I am not in love with you yet. I am getting to that point Luc. You are all I think about, I must admit the thought of you being with anyone but me makes me green with envy. You are not the only one who gets jealous, I see the way witches and wizards stare at you when we go out. But, sometimes I have to wonder what you see when you look at me?” He paused and looked down at Lucius chest refusing to look in the man’s eyes “When I look at myself I see a skinny, clumsy man with too much baggage.”
Lucius used both his hands to raise Harry’s face to his so that they were looking into each other’s eyes. “You think too little of yourself. When I look at you I see a brave man who stood and fought a man whose terror plagued the world. I see a man who will fight and kill for the people he loves. A man with most the mesmerizing smiles that brightens the whole room. You are beautiful Harry, inside and out. And, let’s not forget those eyes of yours; they are the mirrors to your soul. I know we are not ready to say those three little words but I am telling you this here and now. Harry when I say them I will mean them from the bottom of my heart.”
Harry did not know what to say. No one has ever said so sweet things to him. He did not know what to say so he said it with actions. He leaned in and kissed Lucius, conveying everything he could not say with words.
Lucius opened up and received the kiss gladly; his Harry was back in his arms. This is where he belonged. He promised himself from this day forward he was never letting him go.
