Pairing: Rodolphus/Narcissa
Prompt: A Veritable Treasure Trove at rarepair_shorts
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 200
Summary: It makes no difference whether he tries to make amends with her or not.
Warnings: Abusive relationship
To Rodolphus's credit, at least he tried to make up for what he did to her.
Every bruise he left on Narcissa's body was followed the very next day with a dozen apologies, a hundred gentle kisses and caresses, and a thousand gifts to try to make her forget. Narcissa could have drowned in the jewels and gowns that he gave her.
The gifts made no difference to her.
Narcissa didn't care for the gifts he gave her. She couldn't wear them often in any case - she had to keep them hidden from Lucius. But she kept every gift from Rodolphus, all the apology presents, and it wasn't long before she had a veritable treasure trove of diamonds and emeralds and other such lovely things that meant absolutely nothing.
Narcissa knew better than to believe that the gifts signified any real sense of responsibility for what he'd done. He could give her everything, and a few days later, he would become angry at her again, and the whole cycle would repeat.
But that didn't stop her from going back to Rodolphus.
She would have gone back to him if he hadn't given her anything.
Because she loved him. She did.
