Written for the drabble tag on GGE - LuciusLily, "What's a pen?"

Invitation

"I'm going to be late," she murmured, pulling her dress over her shoulders quickly before running a hand through her hair. She knew she didn't look as polished as she usually did, but honestly, what was she supposed to do?

It was Lucius' fault. Then again, it normally was.

"Well, if you did as I asked and became my live in sex doll, you wouldn't have this problem," the blonde murmured from the bed, where he lay with his hands under his head, utterly serene and relaxed.

She scowled at him. "That's not funny."

"Who said I'm joking?"

She huffed, digging in her handbag. "Why can I never find a pen when I need one?" she grumbled, rolling her eyes at herself.

Lucius' brow furrowed. "What's a pen?"

Lily stopped, turning to look at him. "What?"

"You heard me. What on earth is a pen?"

"Are you jo- You know what, I don't have time for this. I'll deal with it later. Slipping her feet into her shoes, she leant over the bed to kiss Lucius' cheek. "I'll see you later."

"I'll be here," he confirmed. "You know, I wouldn't have made you late if you'd invited me."

Her hand stilled against the doornob. "I thought you wanted nothing to do with my family?" she asked.

He shrugged. "Would have been nice if you'd invited me anyway."

"Lucius, do you want to come to my sister's wedding?"

"Merlin, no. Have a good time, sweetheart, I'll see you when you get home."

He smirked when she slammed the door behind her. He'd be in for in when she got home. He couldn't wait.
