Theo enjoyed his reputation for being unpredictable. In situations like this, it always helped Theo get what he wanted, which in this case was keeping Draco physically safe. He couldn’t always be there, but the ferocity with which he let Lucius know to stay away from him worked for the most part. Sometimes, Theo would come to Malfoy Manor and Draco would have a split lip or a facial bruise that he wouldn’t explain, and the young Nott would have to count to a hundred to avoid putting a bullet in Lucius Malfoy’s gray eyes - eyes so similar to his son’s.
