“Gilderoy, I can’t do this anymore, surely you know that?” Gilderoy bit his lip hesitantly, his gleaming teeth making up for the missing shine in his downcast eyes. “If my family found out—”
“Then don’t let them know.” Gilderoy brought his gaze up to Lucius, looking him in the eyes, pleading with him.
Lucius turned away, looking towards the door. It was a bittersweet feeling, letting Gilderoy go. Lucius had never thought he’d fall for someone as flamboyant and eccentric as Lockhart, but fall he did. It was against his better judgment, surely, but maybe he was tired of doing as he was told.
Lucius looked at the way Gilderoy’s lip jutted out as he pouted, remembering the wedding that was being arranged for him and Narcissa Black at the very moment.
Taking Gilderoy’s hand in his slowly, he pulled him closer, muttering, “We don’t let anyone find out about us, understood?”
