Family Bonds

Chapter 5.

Same as always don't own HP.


Lucas had eventually found his room and threw himself on his bed clutching at his pillow and bearing his face in it’s softness. He didn’t mean to yell at Ron early but when another man touches him he just can’t help it. His eyes showed so much hurt, pain, and fear in their depths that silent tears started to fall down his cheek and onto the sleeve of his robe. He curled himself up into a ball, his knees an inch away from his chest. He felt so tired now, hi eyelids felt heavy and his breathing was lulling him to sleep.

He kicked off his shoes and slid off his robe. His tie came off next, but the rest of his clothes he didn’t care about, curling back into his ball form he let night’s wings drift him off to sleep.

His legs hurt and he could feel the sharp rocks digging into his bloody feet. The sharp branches cutting him deeply as he ran pass them, he couldn’t stop, if he did……he cried out as he tripped and stumbled down the hillside distantly he heard a snap, and pain swelled up in his leg. His rolling body stopped at the bottom of the hill, he screamed even more in pain. His ankle’s bone tore it’s way out of the skin blood covered him and he couldn’t move.

A black shadow fell over him and a haunting laugh was heard, tears spilled down his cheeks. Pain and fear coated his scent.

“My my, what a delicious sight you make little wizard.”

He shook his head the shadow grew darker and soon engulfed him as he screamed.

“Lucas! Lucas wake up!” Feral shouted as he shook his screaming and thrashing brother awake.

His eyes shot open but he still screamed thrashing about in his brother’s arms, his eyes glazed over still from sleep. Feral held tightly to him whispering calming words in his ear making the younger boy settle down. He let go of Lucas as he felt the other stiffen with fear.

“I… I couldn’t….it…” he broke down and cried his face slumped into Feral’s lap and he cried hard.

Feral rubbed his back his eyes full of concern for his brother. He stayed there letting Lucas cry himself to sleep before undressing him, making sure to avoid his eyes from the scars that danced about his back and his front. He tucked him into bed, tipping his head up and pouring a dreamless potion down Lucas’s throat. He looked at Lucas his hand brushing the silver strands away from his face. He should have been there that day, he should have protected Lucas from… he closed his eyes and left silently. No. He couldn’t beet himself up for this. Leaving his brother’s room he headed to the nearest exit. He needed a smoke. He pulled out a cigarette and placed the unlit stick between his lips as he walked about an empty hall heading outside. The cool October air hit his skin, he fished out his lighter and lit up his stick. One thing he learned it was a stress reliever and it helped. He slid off his robe and threw it onto a brick wall climbing up after it he leaned against the cold stone. His white button down shirt exposed little of his chest, while black dress pants showed off allot to the imagination.

He took a long drag taking the cigarette from his lips and between his finger’s.

“Well now it seems we have one thing in common, though the intelligence is not.”

Feral closed his eyes as he heard Snape approach him. He cracked open his eyes and looked at Snape as he too lit a stick. He just smiled and closed his eyes again.

“Seems so don’t it ass wipe,” Feral retorted only getting a snicker from the older male.

The silence slipped between them and it was comforting Feral to no end. Finishing his stick he put out the butt and jumped down from the wall grabbing his robe and pulling it over his shoulder. He walked up to Snape, and stopped.

“I’ll give you a light warning right now bastard. Hurt Araca in anyway, shape, or form and I’ll be coming after your ass,” Feral warned giving him a quick death glance. As he walked away he heard Snape’s laughter.

“I look forward to it.”

Ron woke up early, well technically he was already awake. He didn’t sleep at all that night. He couldn’t so many things ran through his head and all that involved Lucas. He sat in his bed, a pair of flannel pajama pants covered his legs, he didn’t bother putting on a shirt last night before slipping under the covers. His bare feet touched the floor, making himself aware of his morning duties. Without waking the other’s he left the tower and went to a bathroom. No one would be awake this early in the morning anyways.

Pushing open the door he stopped seeing a pale figure in the corner of the bathroom. He blinked his eyes and quietly walked over to the person. When he crouched down his hand touched a shoulder lightly shaking the person.

“Hey buddy, wake up.”

A soft sleepy groan passed through lips and black eyes focused onto Ron. Ron looked into the other’s face, Lucas.

“Lucas, what are you doing here?” Ron asked helping the other boy up.

“Couldn’t sleep,” he said his voice rough and hoarse sounding.

He must have been tired if Ron was able to touch his shoulders. Lucas groaned and leaned against Ron falling asleep against the red head. Ron caught the boy in his arms blushing furiously as he looked down at the shorter male. The other’s mouth was slightly opened and warm breath fell against his neck and collar bone. Ron moaned softly wrapping his arms about Lucas’s waist holding the other close to his body. Soft pedal lips pressed against Ron’s heated skin making himself breathe deeply, feeling his loins twitch to life. He closed his eyes biting his lower lip to keep from moaning any louder. His body shook as Lucas breathed upon the moistening pale freckled skin. He heard a soft groan of pain come from Lucas and he looked down at him seeing a pained expression twist in his face.

Ron whimpered softly, he didn’t know what to do, if he stayed like this, he knew he would take advantage of the male in his arms, but if took him somewhere what would anyone else think. He whimpered again and looked about, his eyes coming to the shower heads, well it was worth a shot.

Dragging the other boy Ron put Lucas in the shower and turned one on making cold water splash onto Lucas and making him shoot up fully awake now.

“Cold cold cold cold!!!” Lucas shouted darting out of the cold spray. Shivering and glaring at Ron. “What th-the hell?” He stuttered out.

Ron smiled weakly and took out his wand using a drying spell he quickly dried off Lucas who stopped trembling from the cold.

“I’m sorry Lucas really! But you were asleep and I didn’t know what to do!” Ron said as Lucas advanced on him.

Ron pressed his back up against the wall, his hands flat on the tiles as he looked down at the other boy. Fear surrounding him. Lucas just glared at him before smiling and turned on the water and dashing away from the cold spray. Ron stood shocked in place he couldn’t move for a moment before hearing a soft laugh.

“There, now we are even Weasley,” Lucas said and left the bathroom leaving behind a surprised and wet boy in it’s place.

Though the day started off weird for Ron, he was having a surprising day as he sat eating lunch and listening to Fire and Ice ramble about pranks to Harry.

“You think we are bad?” Fire asked.

“Man Lucas he used to be our idol,” Ice added.

“That was… before everything changed,” they both said sadness over taking them.

“What happened?” Harry asked and this made Ron come into the conversation.

The twins looked about seeing if anyone else was hearing or listening in on them.

“Two years ago, Lucas was attacked…”

“Well attacked would be the lesser of the word…”

Harry and Ron blinked in confusion and the twins sighed softly.

“Lucas… he was… raped.”

Ron’s eyes widened in shock as did Harry’s.

Ron sat back taking in the news. Raped. No wonder he was so distant from anyone else, the reason he…

“Don’t touch me!”

He yelled those words at Ron.

“Man, did they ever catch the guy who did it?” Harry asked and both Fire and Ice shrugged their shoulders.

“We don’t know.”

Ron felt sick. His stomach tightened into a knot, that was how he had gotten that scar then. Ron put his elbows on his knees and his head in his hands. He felt so guilty now! How could he have thought about doing anything to Lucas knowing this.

Harry touched Ron’s shoulder softly making him sigh softly.

“I’m okay mate.”

Harry patted his shoulder lightly sighing.

“Oh by the way…” Fire began smiling at Ron.

“Lucas says thanks for earlier. He owes you for making him smile,” Ice finished off. “Wow nice job Ron, Lucas hasn’t smiled in two years and you made him smile…. we thinks he likes you.”

Ron blinked his eyes and looked up at the two boys who in union winked at him. Ron could only smile. At least he had a bit of hope now to hold onto.
