The idea to make a group chat story involving the marauders seems very fun, it will also include Severus and Lily plus any other characters. They're all friends in this but they still talk shit about eachother. I'm not sure who will end up with who...
'I can do this, just relax' Barty thought as he stood in front of the door of Malfoy Manor. After a few minutes he summoned whatever courage he had and knocked on the door now all he had to do was wait for Lucius to open it.
The door to the Manor was soon opened and Barty felt air in his lungs get sucked away. No matter how many times he came face to face with Lucius, that man still managed to take his breath away.
"Barty what are you doing here? I thought you're date was tonight" Lucius spoke which snapped Barty out of his trance. "It is but I wanted to stop by for a last minute touch up, you know make sure my outfit is still perfect" Barty spoke while smiling nervously.
Lucius nodded and stepped aside to allow Barty inside. Barty walked in and he heard Lucius close the door, soon the pair were making their way up to Lucius's bedroom. "So who's your date?" Lucius asked once they entered his room and Barty chuckled
"Her name is Abby"
"I didn't know you were interested in women"
"I'm not..." Barty muttered under his breath
"What?"
"Nothing" Barty smiled and Lucius gave him a confused look. "Whatever, come sit. I'm gonna fix your hair, it looks horrid" Lucius stated and Barty simply nodded. He sat down and Lucius grabbed a brush and stood behind Barty. "Honestly Barty it's like you've never heard of a brush or hair products" He spoke softly as he began to brush Barty's hair.
Barty laughed "My hair ain't that bad, besides not everyone is born with gorgeous hair like you" he felt his heart beat fast as he heard Lucius laugh. 'By god this man will be the death of me' Barty thought and continued to stare at Lucius's reflection on the mirror in front of them.
He was so entranced by the other man that he had failed to hear his phone go off indicating he had received a message. It wasn't till Lucius had snapped his fingers in front of his face that he finally heard his phone ding.
Barty quickly pulled out his phone and opened up the message. As expected it was from Abby stating that she would not be attending their date for some unknown reason. 'Don't forget to act sad when she cancels' He remember, Evan had helped him act devastated for when Abby texted and he was very grateful for it.
He forced his body to stiffen and he tightened his grip on his phone. 'Please work' He thought to himself, he began to imagine what would happen if the plan went wrong and that helped him look sad seeing as he really wanted this to go well.
Lucius felt Barty go stiff and he paused his movements for a brief second before putting the brush down. "Barty is everything alright?" He asked softly, Barty let out a sigh and simply handed his phone to Lucius. He took the phone and read what was displayed on the screen, he began to feel a mixture of emotions after reading the text.
For one Lucius was happy that this girl had cancelled but also angry that she would do such a thing. 'I'll threaten her later' he thought "Oh...I'm sorry barty" he spoke as he handed him back his phone.
"It's fine, I'm not shocked" Barty stated and let out a sigh "Guess I should I cancel the reservation" He added and began to dial the number for the restaurant. Before he could hit the call button Lucius placed a hand over the phone "Maybe not" Barty heard him say and looked up at him.
Lucius was facing away from him and Barty could see the faint blush on his face. "What do you mean? I have to, I'll look pathetic if I go alone" Barty stated while trying his best not to smile. "You won't have too" Lucius spoke and crossed his arms "I didn't work hard on making you look presentable only for you not to be seen" He added but before Barty could say a word Lucius continued.
"So I will go to dinner with you" At those words Barty had to keep himself from fainting. "Really?!" He said in excitement and Lucius nodded "Yes but just so we're clear this is not a date" he stated.
"Yeah, no I got it" Barty said happily "Ok, now get out. I need to get dressed" Lucius ordered and Barty had never moved so quick in his life.
"I'm screwed" Lucius muttered to himself and let out a sigh. He shook his head and began to search his closet for an outfit for tonight.
~Several minutes later~
Barty stood outside Lucius's bedroom waiting patiently. He looked at the time on his phone and noticed that it was almost 8 'What if he changed his mind' He thought. Before he could think about that more the door to the bedroom opened. Barty felt his heart race and his cheeks turned red, there before him was Lucius wearing the most gorgeous outfit ever.

Barty seemed to have forgotten how to breath again "Woah" he spoke as he continued to stare at Lucius. "Barty" Lucius said which snapped him out of his trance
"Yeah?"
"Let's go"
"Yeah"
The pair left Malfoy Manor and apparated to an empty alley near the restaurant. "Nice place" Lucius commented as they made their way to the restaurant "Yeah, a friend recommended it to me" Barty said as they entered the building. 'Abby really is missing out' Lucius thought as he linked his arm with Barty's.
Barty looked over at Lucius and smiled, Lucius smiled back at him. They both followed the waiter who escorted them to an empty booth. 'She truly is' Lucius thought as both he and Barty sat down.
