SUMMARY: A small snapshot of a day in the life of Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape.

AUTHOR'S NOTES: This was a bit of a challenge for me so hopefully it went over well. The title comes from the lyrics of the Mika song "Relax" and while it's hard to see how it's related to the story itself, I tend to think in larger pictures than I show. This song seemed to be a good song to describe the kind of relationship they might have had. Thank you S for your saintly assistance that brought this story to life and F who always finds my mistakes. Hugs for you both!
There was a single candle on the nightstand beside the bed, its golden light splashing the otherwise pale form. He was asleep in the bed, on his back with an arm draped across him. Dark hair was spread across the white pillow and down onto the sheets behind him. The blanket slipped down his hips, revealing a hint of what lay further down. It was obvious that despite being in a more stable place in life he was still struggling, the faint line of ribs showing that he did not eat well enough.
Pride would never allow Severus Snape to look to someone else for assistance. Pride would never allow him to accept assistance offered freely. The stubborn fool would rather waste away then take any sign of charity. He could never accept that sometimes a gift was just a gift and that not everyone would look down on someone needing help.
Lucius was well aware that Severus would have a great deal of difficulty accepting anything he was offered. He believed that Lucius looked down on him because of his wealth and power. If he only knew…
He was beautiful in sleep, though many would not believe so. His most prominent feature, his Roman nose, seemed to distract from the otherwise pale perfection of his face. His heavy eyelids covered the bottomless depths of the most unique pair of black eyes.
His sleep was so deep that he hardly seemed to notice that Lucius moved his arm from where it was draped across him. There was nothing more than a token murmur as Lucius was gifted with the sight of his naked glory. If there was much to complain about from the neck up, once the austere robes were stripped away it became very difficult to find fault in Severus's lean body.
He carelessly tossed aside his silk robes, letting them fall to the floor. It would be up to Severus to take care of them the following day, as usual. The bitter mutters amused Lucius with a strange sort of glee. The pureblood could not be expected to act like a house elf, it was simply beneath him.
Now just as sky clad as his lover, the platinum blond slid onto the bed, hovering over the other man with pleasure. Starting at Severus's abdomen, Lucius let his fingers soak up the pleasure of warm skin, tracing over the unblemished stomach and chest. He watched with amusement as Severus's unconscious body came to life under his touch. There was a slight arch of his back, pushing himself into the caresses that were teasingly bestowed upon him. His lips parted enough to allow a few panting breaths to escape. His dusky rose nubs hardened as if straining for further attention.
Lucius took his time, enjoying touching his lover in his sleep. There was something beautiful about watching him in this state, so completely relaxed and yet riding on a shallow wave of passion. Severus preferred to put his entire being into anything he did. There was nothing relaxed about his potion brewing, his spell casting, much less his love making. It was always fierce and powerful, demanding no less than all of him.
Lucius straddled his waist, rocking slowly hip to hip against him. He made a few sleepy murmurs but there was no question of his enjoyment, as Severus's growing erection was pinned between them. He began to undulate in return causing a pleased growl escaped Lucius's parted lips.
Severus made several faint whimpers as Lucius shifted once again, this time to settle between his legs. With Severus being as relaxed as he was, there was little preparation necessary. After a quick spell, Lucius was able to slide home with a pleased groan.
"Lucius…"
Silver eyes met dark eyes opened to just thin slits. A smirk grew on Lucius face as he began to thrust sharply into his lover. Severus's eyes shot open and then rolled back into his head. Long, beautiful fingers stretched and then clenched fistfuls of bed sheets. His mouth opened to pant and he chanted his lover's name several more times.
There was no room for further thought as the passionate moment overtook Lucius's ability to think. He could only watch as the feeling began to grow within Severus. It was visible in the shudder that ran from the top of his spine into his arching hips. His chest rose and fell quickly, causing the sweat that was seeping from his skin to roll off him and onto the fabric under him. Every sigh and shake that ran through Severus's body built up pressure inside of Lucius until he could hold on no more. His pale hand closed on Severus's shaft and after one tight pull, he reached his own dazzling climax.
The wetness on his hand was all the indication that Lucius needed that Severus had indeed enjoyed himself as well. He managed to collect his wand long enough to clean them both before settling beside Severus on the bed. Severus had already rolled onto his side with his back to Lucius, a usual position for them.
"You were asleep," Lucius said as he draped his arm casually about Severus's waist.
"You took too long," was Severus slumberous response.
"You are welcome to tell that to the Dark Lord the next time you see him."
Severus snorted and Lucius was certain that he most likely rolled his eyes as well.
Lucius stretched briefly, content after their lovemaking. There were a few pops as joints settled into the proper places and he pressed himself against Severus's backside. It seemed that his dark haired lover had fallen asleep again and for a moment Lucius contemplated taking advantage of Severus's body once more.
"Go to sleep, Lucius."
He let out a deep laugh, his body shaking in his amusement. Severus knew him quite well. It was indeed late, however, and they would both have early starts. There was no sense in being exhausted the following day. Lucius might be able to call off of work, but Severus would need to complete potions for the Dark Lord and there was the interview with the Headmaster that he would inevitably need to be prepared for.
He could always just try again in the morning.
