pairing: Lorcan/Molly/Lysander

prompt: wanting

When they were born, Lysander was born first, and he was the one with his father's good looks. This wasn't to say that Lorcan was ugly; he just had an odd look that caused people to glance their judging eyes over him and settle on his brother. He looked like his mother. So Lysander got what Lorcan wanted the day they were born.

When they were five, and the new kids Comet 5000 came out; their parents could only afford one. Lorcan would never admit it, but on their birthday when he raced down the stairs and found his brother zooming arounnd the living room on the new broomsticks; he hated his brother. (later, he would feel immensly guilty when Lysander offered to share it with him)

When they were seven, and their grandpa came back with dust on his feet and his mind on all the different species he'd seen, and he pulls out a large, colorful poster of a lifelike crumple hornned snorcack, and presents it to Lysander, looking so proud at his grandson with the same ambition of becoming a naturalist. And then he turns to Lorcan and hugs him and tells him he missed him and drops a book of historical muggle landmarks in his lap, he pats his shoulder and rejions Lysander on the other side of the room.

It happened again; when they were eleven. They had known about magic for ages and Lorcan had been showing signs of magic before Lysander could even read (something Lorcan was greedily proud about) So when Lysander's letter from Hogwarts arrived first - the hate for his brother grewandgrewandgrew.

and now they're not four anymore. It's not a new broomstick, or a poster, or a letter they're fighting over anymore; it's a girl with wild red hair and soft skin and even softer voice. Lorcan wants her to stare at him, and talk to him and laugh with him and just be with him.

But she doesn't choose him, and she's just another thing that Lysander has that Lorcan wants.
