Lucy stared at the empty bed on the other side of her room. She couldn't believe Pansy had gotten out of the hospital already. It was a lot easier to be there, now that Radley was around, but it was still... She was still there, in the hospital, even though she'd been working really hard at her therapy and taking all her medications to try and get out.

She frowned at Pansy's empty bed and then got to her feet, leaving the room to seek out company in the common room. She found Radley easily enough, sitting beside him and leaning against his side. "I wonder if I'll get a new roommate now that Pansy's not around anymore."

That hurt. Radley looked back at Lucy quietly and closed his eyes, running his hands over his head. After a moment of contemplation, he let out a deep sigh and turned back to look at her. He was ashamed.

"I'm Radley Macnair. I'm a bipolar, manic depressive who tried to kill himself after he was forced to fuck five men in an alleyway to help take care of his Mum. Yet again. I've only slept with men because that's what was around. I don't..." He sighed. "I really love you, Lu."

"Love?" Lucy repeated, blinking at Radley in shock. "You... love me? Really? But..." It seemed so unlikely, Radley loving her. "The other Lucy, right? You love her." That would make more sense.

She laced their fingers together and leaned in to kiss Radley for a long moment. "I only care about your past because I hate that you got hurt so bad. I do a lot to take care of Lucy to keep her from being hurt and it makes me want to take care of you too."

	Radley shook his head at that and pulled Lucy into his lap. "I love you. And I love her. I love you both. And maybe Lucy does need to get better, but until she does, I love every part of her. And I love you too." He looked up at her, a tear slipping down his cheek. "Fuck. Do you think she needs to stay away from me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Lucy frowned and reached up to wipe the tear off Radley's cheek. "Of course not," she said. "You make Lucy happy and relaxed. You keep her from thinking about her ticks and obsessions. You're better for her than Snape is by far."

She leaned in, pressing their lips together. "I'm going to let her come back now. You should talk. You should tell her how you feel about us."

Lucy blinked and then she was gone and the other Lucy was there in her place. She started a bit, when she found herself in Radley's lap instead of Snape's office, but then noticed how sad Radley looked. "What's wrong?" she asked, shifting closer to Radley and touching his cheek. "Did she do something to you?"

"No. Of course not." Radley shook his head and sat up a bit, wiping at his eyes. He adjusted Lucy in his lap and gave her a weak smile, then leaned in and pressed their lips softly together. She was beautiful and he was nervous.

"There are some things we need to talk about. Apparently Snape thought it was his duty to tell you." Radley sighed. "But... I'm in love with you, Lucy. Both parts of you. I love you both so much and until you are healthy and she is gone, I will love both parts of you. And then I will love only you." He gave her a shy smile. "You can ask me anything you want to know."

	Lucy smiled at Radley when he told her he loved her, wrapping her arms around his neck and leaning up to kiss him deeply. "I love you too," she said. "You're the only boy who's ever made me feel this way." She sat back a little, looking at him for a moment. "I... I don't know what to ask. What did Doctor Snape tell the other Lucy?"

Radley looked back at her for a moment and then sighed heavily. "Fuck. I don't know specifics, but he told her about how I had to be a prostitute for a living. That's how I made money to support my mother and my drug habit. I was on a lot of drugs."

He looked her over. "And I've never slept with a woman before. It was always men. I fancy men, but I fancy women as well."

Lucy looked at Radley for a long moment, then nodded, reaching out and taking his hand in hers. "I'm glad you told me about it," she said. "It's... still a lot to take it, but it's not that bad, I don't think. I know you care about me. I know you did things that got you put here, but now we're both here and we're going to change our lives for the better."

She leaned in and kissed him again. "Together. Right?" Lucy gave Radley a tentative smile. "We're together and we love each other. We can get through anything."
