Chapter two
Lucius frowned concerned as Harry retched and gagged into the bowl that he had quickly demanded Lucius conjure before proceeding to throw up into it. Lucius had pulled back Harry's hair and started rubbing his back.
"Lucius this is a surp...." the man froze stepping into the room at the sight in front of him. "Is everything alright?" he asked concerned hurrying over.
"Harry do you need anything?" Lucius asked concerned as Harry gave another retch.
"Barley...water...potion...in trunk," Harry managed to say between retching. The man snapped his fingers and quickly ordered the water off a house elf as Lucius tugged out the trunk and enlarged it before hurriedly digging through to pick out the vial.
"This one?" Lucius held it out to Harry nodded and snatched it quickly knocking it back. The man handed him the barley water which Harry sipped slower, finally stopping retching and settling back against Lucius's offered chest, the blonde wrapping his arm lightly around Harry's chest to support him. Closing his eyes he felt the bowl being vanished as he sank back and relaxed tiredly. "Come its been a busy day lets settle down," Lucius stooped and lifted Harry and carried him through to the huge living room, settling him on the sofa.
"I'm fine Lucius, its just morning sickness," Harry sighed tiredly dropping his hand onto Lucius's thigh as he sat down on the edge of the sofa brushing his fingers gently through Harry's hair.
"I'm sorry I should have thought about that," Lucius said feeling guilty.
"There would be no other way to get here aside from the muggle way. I'm fine Lucius, I just ate before we left which in hindsight probably wasn't the best idea," Harry smiled. Within a few minutes Harry fell asleep and Lucius lifted his head to look at him brother who was sitting silently watching them with a raised eyebrow. Despite being a year younger than Lucius Marcus seemed to have taken it upon himself at an early age to be the big brother.
"You need to explain," Marcus said dryly. "Because I am fairly sure that I heard morning sickness,"
"You did," Lucius sighed before explaining everything.
"Merlin Lucius you never do anything easy do you. Of all people for you to have feelings for, never mind knock up," Marcus sighed rubbing his face. "Do you love him?"
"Not yet, but I am well on my way to it," Lucius admitted softly.
"And what about him? He's young Lucius, he's probably never had a proper relationship before, I don't want to see you hurt when...if he disappears off with someone else," Marcus's words made Lucius flinch, only to jump when a hand was placed on his thigh again.
"I am falling in love with Lucius as well. I may be young but I have never really been a child. All I want is a happy family, and I want that with Lucius. I know you have no reason to believe me, but I don't intend to hurt your brother," Harry said in a slightly raspy voice, pushing himself onto his elbows so he could look at a slightly stunned Marcus. Lucius however went straight into fussing mode to Harry's bemusement. He helped Harry sit up and handed him the barley water that had popped in after Harry went to sleep but kept under a cooling charm. Harry took grateful sips before settling back with a sigh.
"How are you feeling?" Lucius asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, just feeling a little wiped out, like you said it has been a long day, and the first time I've apparated," Harry grinned.
"Most people throw up the first time without having morning sickness as well," Marcus chuckled. "I am Marcus Malfoy by the way. I apologise for what you overheard, I just worry about him," Marcus said slightly awkwardly.
